pt 2

yea i mean every reigon besides cn got a 5 map grand final so there's plenty of vods to go through and watch. the team that changes strats and anti's are probably gonna do the best

yea ive said before china gets a free 2 weeks of practice/vod review that every other region spent playing. Could do really well the china teams. 2 weeks of being able to change starts and comps so they cant be anti'd

its pretty late/early for people in every region but Americas so I think its just us voting so far (Im also not checking the votes until I do Swiss Rd 2 or voting myself at all)

smh yall dont listen, just voting and not bumping

Hello ladies and gentlemen of VLR, a couple days ago I did a "how will Bangkok go" However there was only 30 minutes between rounds so that didn't give much time for every region to vote. Now that we have all 8 participants and the first round draw I will be doing the same thing with 24 HOURS in between rounds. So its up to us to keep this forum active so everyone can see it. (Unless Mods/Devs wanna pin this) So without further ado. How will Bangkok go? Swiss Round 2 will begin tmrw at 5 PM EST. Put ur thoughts and reasonings for your votes below, make fun of people you disagree with idk man just do what you can to keep the forum active so everyone gets a chance to vote.

AMER: #1 G2 Esports #2 Sentinels
EMEA: #1Team Vitality #2 Team Liquid
APAC: #1 DRX #2 T1
CN: #1 EDward Gaming #2 Trace Esports

Not saying its the best, but do yall remember that like early to late 2021 SEN Haven streak that was like 11 wins in a row. Had sick on phoenix. I miss 2021 man.

I miss the old Kanye, straight from the go kanye 😓

being a fan of 1 of the 8 teams to make this international??? Yea I'm ok with being a sen fan

Need me that hour long unsensored. Makes the $50 worth it

Called it chat, no worries.

Ik but as an owner, if I had an aspas on my team, he would be treated so well he wouldn't want to force his way out

Aspas is on a boulevard of broken dreams fr

Na AD is a great player. Its like a Luka for Derrick White, Hes a great player but no way in the world you do that. (Using Demon1 for Aspas as basis)

Letting Aspas go? This MF is the goat. If I'm the people at lev I'm literally doing anything for him, getting him who he wants. How he wasn't happy where he was is beyond me. I woulda had that man in a mansion in the hills with his girl and all the anime figurines/plushies he could want.

GIRA ASPAS

not a good look from you my friend

When was the last time Sen lost a BO5??? I can answer that for you, 2021. Don't worry guys #SenWin

people hate too see people try something different IG

became a fan right as the first master (the regional one) was coming around and Sinatraa had just gotten dropped. I think the news of a new player stepping in and how good he was supposed to be made me become fans of them. i hadn't watched any games or anyone in specific before that so I didn't know who tenz was just that he was supposedly good and coming back to play for SEN

yes and no, he's hype

I mean its hilarious but hes apparently been told by riot to stop so, tryna save his career here

Real ones remember Upmind and Sully. They were my favorite casters. Sully is retired (College L) Upmind still does some work here and there

he just needs to stop saying suck him off when astra uses grav well.

americas analyst and caster mimi

I was thinking about doing that but I don't know how keeping the forum being up so people continuously see it to vote. Maybe the mods can pin it for each one but idk if they'd do smth like that

idk man i didnt vote for anything, people think they don't even make it to Bangkok

I didn't have certain seeds because I CBA putting that many options for the first few polls. so I just didn't do them in general. Kept the other rules.though

bump because i spent way too long on this for no reason whatsoever

idk vlr says TH are frauds and go out 0-2

Also G2 win without losing a game so to VLR they are goated

3rd times the charm maybe

as a proud american i stand for democracy and will not be moved in my stance.

depends on the style of the team, you lose a lot of util when you use a double duelist comp which makes the comp lean more towards winning your 1's more than setting up your team for easy kills/execs/retakes.

This is following the Madrid format so the 2-0 teams can't play each other (99% sure Bangkok is following the same rules)

2-0 (In Playoffs): G2, VIT
2-1 (In Playoffs): EDG, DRX
1-2 (Out): SEN, T1

They played G2 (prob favorites to win it all rn) and then Sen. unlucky draws maybe

As a sen fan I almost always vote their way lmao, just pure belief
