these mfs really are tier1 gatekeepers
of 4 ascensions theyve won 3 - 2023, 2025, 2026
they only didnt win 2024 bcz they were already in tier1

ez, goats
when they go ascension they just have max confidence life does not play like this in tier 1
keeping fresh talent out of Chi-Nepo is all they're good for
I won't lie, I don't really think they are necessarily gatekeeping tier 2 talent because there is genuinely not much world-class Chinese talent in tier 2. Tier 2 Chinese players are bums compared to Vo0kashu, Life and SpiritZ1
Not much worldclass talent in china period
The masters attendees change every single tournament regardless of meta. DRG are kinda just abusing the obvious mistakes these tier 2 teams are making.
In all hoesnty there's barely any fresh talent to promote in CN
I had hope for NOVA, genuinely a good team for CN's standards that kept slipping at the last hurdle.
But Nooo, DRG gotta make it to tier 1 a 4th time
If they were such a good team they wouldn’t have got 3-0d
nova will make it to T1 next week it's easy for them now
they aren't promoting any more CN T2 talent than DRG tho
There actually is big amounts of talents on a few of the academy teams, i feel that teams just dont have a good eye for it, also there are not really any igls available it seems
it's very hard to get info on academy teams as a westerner compared to regular T2 teams but I've only seen Kassielsy, Zayce, Sa1uat and Takashi seem like actual good prospects. The national curcuit really lacks talent as proven by their results against T1 teams
I Mean china in general still has a great talent pool
in T2 it does not look like it
i could not actually give you many names but i do know that a lot of players are very talented there
I'm sure some are but every time I hear about sum cracked Acad player who isn't one of those 4 he either has mediocre stats or doesn't even have a profile on haojiao. The lack of data on the different T2 T3 scenes also creates a giant problem for scouting, and we can't even have info on chinese ranked (which from what I heard is full of cheaters which doesn't exactly help either)
even as someone who speaks chinese it is very hard to find data...and dont even get me started on ranked it is such a mess
Not really Drgs fault tho. They've been one of the best teams in china. Kind off riots fault that last year a champs team had to play in ascension. Isnt it on all the other chinease orgs that t2 talent isnt picked up. Cuz why is(were) two of the best cn teams ascension teams (Xlg & Drg)
i meant to ask why are china doing ascension?? aren't they meant to be doing OQ like everyone else?
glad you know ball
