I don’t want to live in a world where the last remnant of the old guard is Team Liquid who will get 1-2 in group stage at champs.

Isn’t it a LAN? Sounds like a networking issue.

Not a fan of horse races, I understand it been around for a long time but not a fan of the dangers to both the jockey and the horse, especially the stuff horses have to go through when their life is just starting out (horses start racing super young)

Valyn isn’t coming without Trent.

Would put Zekken high on that list; haven’t heard anyone hate him.

Americas did fine imo, won Madrid and two teams in top 4 of champs. EMEA made 2 finals just like they did in 2025.

2024 was pretty competitive for all regions, like 3 different regions got trophies; only 2025 was lopsidedly APAC.

He’s MJ

Not like SRB had any choice when they’re playing for an opportunity to go to stage 2 Vct playins

100T has seen their most success with Bang to date; doubt he’s going to slander a player that brought this much hope to his team.

They have to win something to be a success; expectations aren’t met.

Probably the investment in LoL, Riots other esport:

Was this the initial update that tried to be more tablet like?

Not saying players can’t coach themselves; but trying to be the one that does all the prep and simultaneously practice is going to kill the igl of the team if they are to succeed.

If BabyBay came back, TenZ definitely can come back if given the right team.

Superman isn’t even bigger than Batman; ofc Superman earnings can’t touch Spiderman’s earnings. Heck the highest grossing superman movie was Batman vs Superman.

Chamber of Secrets

How is bleed not here?

How did the manager let mCe and Yay go and kickstart this entire fiesta is my biggest question. It’s like they got to franchising and decided to quit.

Everyone can agree that they’re a minimum top 5 team in the world with LEV PRX NRG at least.

It’s hard for me to call T1 frauds when they already won a masters, think a team like VIT that keeps pouring out money for superteams or perennial regional farmers like G2 have bigger claims to the title.

China outplaced NA at Masters London even if we look past Champs 2024, it’s just banter at the end of the day.

All I can say is vibes at least are better than 2025, when everyone said it was the beginning of the end for NA and APAC was going to dominate from that point onward.

That’s fair, only asking since I can’t really see the team sinking down any further than it already has.

Do you think if miniboo comes back it will help fix and unite the team?

Think they don’t have any confidence in the c0m roster change.

C9 doesn’t deserve to have fans like you, you’re too good for an org like that.

Definitely Bleed, they stopped paying their players in the later months and had abysmal performances.

Demon1 won champs and CR7 hasn’t won a World Cup.

I still don’t know how Immi is the coach still, his job security is better than government jobs at this point.

Who are you considering in the top 6?

That’s rough, buddy

What about NRG and 100T? I’m not going to question G2 getting in at all given their strong presence in both Americas and game changers, just question of whether they stick them in Americas franchising since the team is already there or move them back to EMEA.

EDIT: for what it’s worth I do think G2 should remain in Americas since their current iteration with the guard core has a way better impact than previous iterations, especially as a heel that everyone likes to hate on when it comes to internationals

Surely they allocate slots to Lyon for LATAM representation and for investing in RIOTs other esports right? At least you guys deserve a chance for showing that you won’t waste opportunities given what the org has done in the LoL side of things recently.

FNC
SEN
Tyloo
DFM

Probably will need Texture to get more comfortable with Chamber since he’s different from playing duelists that he’s used to, especially the util. The roles just fundamentally different.

it’s a really close match given that today has been mostly stomps.

I’ll cut him some slack, he’s sacrificing for the team in terms of giving everyone else comfort picks from the looks of things.

I understand wanting to move on and I’m not a fan of Blaber at all, but who do you think they should get for a jungler that’s not on a team atm?

Too early to tell, this is just the group stage and PRX is the toughest opponent out of everyone.

I would honestly be depressed as a KRX player; so many times they’re just running into PRX and dying with no trades, and even in close rounds PRX comes out on top somehow.

They’re spending a lot more on their LoL team I’d imagine.

Primmie doesn’t know Korean

He’s not the igl on this team right?

Org is too cursed and open quals are coming next year; no reason to hitch your career to an org that could care less about your growth and longevity when there are other teams just as hungry and able to compete in the same circuit.

You guys already bodied KRU and got past G2, what are you worried about?

Life isn’t that simple, there’s going to be a ton of different views that you disagree with between you and friends and family members.

Doesn’t MIBR share an office with Sen? Just steal away Cortezia from next door /s

Ngl no matter how trash Sen is, idk how they can keep being a huge problem for 100T

Hard to say, depends on whether N4RRATE and Kaplan also stayed in this iteration since Zekken would’ve been band-aiding a lot of issues that got exposed in split 1. Think it was for the best that the current state of things happened.

Just support both teams, Sen is gonna be seen as an underdog in most matchups should they advance forward. They’re not even in the same region as PCF so I don’t really see a conflict of interest.
