Fnatic for Paris I believe 🙏😭

😭😭😭😭 never making a prediction again

why 7 thats a bit of an odd number isnt it

Besides the last thing you don't really have to interact with threads/comments. If it really bugs you that much and you insist get the BetterVLR extension, it lets you block people

I can't speak for the other SA countries.
But a suggestion I saw that would be really good is to make a league for central Asia, It would include Mongolia, all the stans, maybe the Caucasus and it would give Pakistan a place.

Honestly yeah that would work.
They would probably be favourites to win ascension

EDG are rich I think, idk who else would pay more

I agree but how will they do it.
I don't think they can simply just kick an org out of franchising right?

Bro you are 100% correct.
But you can literally just close the tab

man I think Pakistan has so much potential I really hope a PK team comes through from Premier

I don't think it will have that much of an impact, I can only see it happening is if there's a super hype match (e.g. FPX vs EDG) and there being a very boring pacific match (not giving examples so I don't get cooked). Even if there's a mid pacific match I think it'll have minimal impact

The only way to make EMEA catch up 'quickly' imo is if CS has some serious problems. Otherwise the only way I see is to target younger audiences with hopes that you can make a bigger shift long term.

I think it was a massive oversight to lock in the teams so strictly for franchising, it means the only CIS teams (barring NAVI) can come through ascension

we go into the riot games basement to be locked away until kickoff

that would be great, not even a whole broadcast just a cast would be enough

NOOOO ardiis??? damn
guess I have to wait for the clipping channels

I'm good man, thanks for asking. How've you been?

riot marketing need to step it up, they need to steal players from DOTA and CS. Or at the very least make sure VAL is the game young people get in to before the others

butterflyeffect return to dog on emea 😭😭😭😭

I think KK deserved it this time around

But is there any transparency on how it's determined? I can see this causing problems in the future

if KK didn't break the record sure, but he played way too well today

nah man can't have fnatic that high this year, even though I would want them to be subjectively
sure we have the regionals but bombing out of shanghai and missing madrid was too big of a stain

funding will go up
interest will go up
viewership will go up
the quality of play will go up
the quantity of play will go up

China is going to become unstoppable by 2027

idk man thats like comparing the US to Egypt. China is a lot richer than people think

MVP 🐐🐐🐐🐐

chichoo for the whole tournament
kk for this game
so it depends on what the MVP is for

imagine how many people from CN will get into the game, winning the most important tournament in their first year of franchising.
gives sen winning masters 2 vibes, but amplified like 1000x

I COULD NOT PREDICT SHIT TO SAVE MY LIFE
WP FROM EDG DESERVED

hopefully they keep them selves composed for next year, I am excited for their future

honestly pls, we need this. After this tournament with trace and EDG I want to know more about china

WWW KANGSHEN

feels bad for heretics though

KK or CHICHOO
I would've confidently said chichoo around map 2, but KK had a record breaking series, I might have to favour him

BANGER SERIES TO END THE YEAR

only fitting end is thrifty 1v5 sheriff ace at 12-11

AS A BIASED FNATIC FAN THIS IS SECOND
BUT IF I WAS NEUTRAL I THINK THIS MIGHT JUST TAKE THE CAKE

I think this timeout helps heretics a lot too

COME ON 5 MORE

bro i dont even dislike them but they have they have to be the pair of most memable names 😭😭😭

win pistol, this series deserves to go to OT on map 5🙏

this series is a treat

BENJAMIN FISH

I think its 105, he needs 14 kills to break the record

to the last round of bind

lmfao

but you cant lie this is entertaining as hell.
at the end of the day esports is an entertainment product

100%

fr man the people who were saying this is the worst grand final after map 1 were so wrong

WHAT A WAY TO END THE MAP

mental boom

they got 2nd place in the last tournament with a sub
benjyfishy was huge in fortnite, now he's at the top of tier 1
th is a huge org too
2 rookies picked up from tier 2
boo was one of the worst players (stats wise at least) last year, so the glowup is insane

thank you
