G2 vs T1 coinflip for me. These 2 teams have many internationally unproven players. The guard core got destroyed in Reykjavík 22 making LAN jitters excuses, trent asking to play music whilst playing etc. I'm going T1 cause xccurate would have many local CN fans supporting from CS TYLOO days and he can also speak chinese too.

asian food > westerner food.

We recently got bullet train from them. Maglev Train next?

Masters Shanghai will be in asia timezone too. No midnight/4am matches for pacific viewers.

List of Games

Handegg domestic sport. L sport.

• Esports World Cup (July 3 – August 24) - Saudi (MENA)
• Valorant Champs (August 1 – August 25) - South Korea (Pacific)
• Olympic Games Paris 2024 (July 26 – August 11) - France (EMEA)

Americas got NOTHING.

Brouhaha

• PRX vs FNC bind (Copenhagen 22) - PRX Yoru bind W gaming amazing to watch.
• EDG vs NAVI (Masters Tokyo) - The look of suygetsu kept getting OP'd by KangKang was great.
• EDG vs Giants (Champs 23) - Ended rhyme's career. Guy was massive EDG hater in riot content/post match conference/interview. Good Riddance.
• BLG vs NRG (Champs 23) - Seeing many westerner's reaction to this was amazing.
• T1 vs TL Ascent (AVL 23) - Multi kill hero play from many individuals was crazy (8x3K), (4x4K), (3ACES), T1 Fighting!!

there's KR (local), Indo (no language barrier in english speaking team), SG (no visa issue) and imports, why bother pick up indian player? Only GE bother invest in indian players, NO OTHER TEAM would. WAKE UP.

fix your tech pauses first.

vision strikers, 21/22/23. What does valyn accomplish? Stax is known internationally, valyn domestic.

saya clears

stax > valyn

china number 1

Best Timezone.

GenG gonna cause so many inconveniences.

PRX won’t pick T1, all pacific teams r United getting as far as possible to get trophies.

shouldnt they be in pacific aswell??

If u want 22 teams pacific split, we’re only ever getting 1 international tournament for the year.

Some people hate NRG because they’re sponsored by the MILITARY. Guess some people in parts of the world have been effected personally by it.

Valo Arena for group stage & playoff
Mercedes-Benz Arena final 3 days (lower final, grand final)

what about coach?

Oliver Kahn >

y0y

times changed. Other teams much better now. Just because a team is good in the past doesn't mean it'll be good next year.

we need stinger akimbo update.

too many NA teams in Shanghai. Its gonna be LEV/KRU/LOUD.

I agree, T1 beating TS AND GenG, people still hating on them saying undeserved etc. DRX choked like NAVI can't even win 1 game in playoff.

😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵😂🫵

so.... LATAM > NA.

*Midnyet

meh player.

this list is for 2024 only

Masters Shanghai and Champs Seoul Pacific TImezone, Asia viewers eating good this year.

coaches don't play ranked in their off time, they watch VODS of other teams (Termi and Alecks) as seen in the pacific coach video. Astel even say " I was a former player before becoming coach, I can get radiant easy If I have the time".

At the end of the season till new season begins, there needs to be 3 months off to have time for new signing VISA. Xccurate and Jemkin took 3 months for theirs, unless 6 person roster mandatory rule comes back to prevent this. New season mid January to end august/mid september is best schedule as it doesn't overlap December Christmas holiday and doesn't overlap League worlds schedule end of september.

Russia - Lumo
Australia - tixx
Philippines (JP) - Yoshiii
France (JP) - Yotaa
Japan - MrTenzouEz

Isn't that good no? everyone will be on neutral same patch on new turney. If new patch happens on playoff I can see teams complaining it'll affect the qualification to Shanghai, no time to prep on new patch etc.

Jonas should change his profile picture to be more neutral then, his current picture is implying he's laughing as if it was funny.

Crashies/Victor/Chet r all "business are business" type people, any cheerfulness vibes will be considered "cringe" to them. As long as those 3 are the core member the team culture will be the same, serious strict type is what suits them. Even vibes ardiis doesn't work.

Plz be a Sova map, cause rn community is really not liking ascent/breeze/icebox.

SEN = Snowflake Edgy Nerds

gonna be peaceful times in vlr. No SEN in international turney + Shanghai asia timezone = NA asleep.

Pacific: Pacific split 1 (23 days) compared to other region (30 days), T1 and GenG both have to play 4 games in 9 days (only 2 teams from entire 44 btw). Everyone also hating T1 for qualifying, hating GenG for losing to T1 and calling DRX washed for losing to GenG.

Pacific: PRX and 3 KR teams, sounds about right.

T1 3 -2 GenG
T1 Fighting!!

T1 signed an academy team (10 man roster) now, they're already in the right step to do an EG run.

What goes around comes around, KARMA. On the '1 season wonder' watch rn, lets see if he can reprove himself in 2025.

I actually think T1 will go playoff at least. Why? CN fans heavily support Xccurate from CS Tyloo days (he can speak chinese too) and they will 100% support T1 instead of doubting them like most international people. T1 will have an "unexpected" good run in to this tournament.

Xccurate Tyloo CN fans gonna be cheering for T1.
