I agree, they are never cooked in CN. That was poor wording from me, I meant that they should try something else.

I agree, they are never cooked in CN. That was poor wording from me, I meant that they should try something else.
Their aim looked really off today, and I don’t think the Waylay is working. Still a good team but they either gotta convince me on their Waylay comp or shoot better, otherwise they’re kinda cooked.
It's my gf's bday today, but sadly, it is currently mocks week so celebrations will have to wait.
Yeah, getting a partner, not just any partner, one that you're willing to commit to, is one of the best things ever!
Did you see the comps that AfteR is cooking on TEC? He's closer to an asylum than he is to EDG.
nobody (EDG)
BerLIN (F/A)
Life (FPX)
LuoK1ng (TE)
Autumn (FPX) (IGL)
destroyeR (HC) (TE)
Absolute class team, one man who doesn't speak Chinese IGL-ing when there are two perfectly capable IGLs with a head coach who WILL mald and scream at the team while they int it down mid every round.
Kangkang is a giga dive duelist so I agree that he just isn't gonna have fun on Yoru or Iso.
Sadly the meta has changed, would love to see him stay though, maybe a 6 man roster but I think that double initiator with him and the player nobody on Breach + Tejo could still be very good.
AG: fire3
BLG: bail
DRG: nathanD
EDG: Muggle
FPX: York
JDG: EGO
NOVA: I forgor
TE: destroyeR
TEC: AfteR
TYL: sword9
WOL: Fayde
XLG: hvoya
edit: shit its 24k
To be fair, DRG is playing a good game, I thought they would be playing Ying on duelist, but SpiritZ1 is good too, I remember that he played Raze in off-season or something. This team could be solid!
Swerl please come back I miss the kids.
What the heck guys, I thought Ying was supposed to be the new duelist. Instead, you start Cangshu???
I agree, but I was replying to #3, he only clarified "mid players". I do agree that he doesn't quite have a complete understanding of the agent, but I do not believe that he is "mid" as a whole.
The funniest part is: https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/7915bc3c
Rarga is a very solid duelist. Additionally, her dashes are rather predictable, and she doesn't have a smoke like Jett to entry into site.
Waylay just isn't a really strong agent pro-play. Low-key just a one-and-done.
"peetherium come" moment.
Aye same for you, lad! She's a grade below me, so I'll likely be moving to the States with her once she graduates!
All the better, my girlfriend (of which we've been together for a little over two years now) was also my first. It's a great experience!
Oh, that's so wholesome! I remember when I was only two months in back when I was in 10th grade. If she's the right one for you, then you're a fortunate lad!
Oh, my apologies. I was not aware that you were in a relationship, I was simply speaking generally. How long have you two been together?
I don't think that your partner cheating definitively means that it's on you for being "not up to standards" as a boyfriend. Cheating should always be the fault of the person that cheats. If they have a problem, they should either talk it out with you, or break up with you. Cheating is never the right thing to do.
I like Bayern, and from Bayern, it is probably Musiala due to his silky dribbling style.
However, I also enjoy Inter Milan vastly, from which I would probably pick Nicolo Barella or Federico Dimarco.
In terms of Premier league, I enjoy Spurs and Newcastle, so some names I'd throw out there are Heung-min Son, Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali.
Can't put em any lower.
JDG I can understand but FPX is in a period of turmoil, DRG just made a duelist change, and Nova is genuinely good.
May I interest you in our lord and savior Lifan "Viva" Ran?
They could, but I think Ying is a short term downgrade from Luke. As such, I felt that placing them 8th was appropriate. Otherwise, 7th could be respectable.
Edward Gaming
Placed third in Bangkok, which the team may actually stand to be rather disappointed by in terms of finishes, as they looked incredibly strong in the first few matches, especially with a strong showing against G2. With that being said, they should continue to sweep aside the Chinese region, while being challenged potentially by the next two teams on this list.
Trace Esports
Criminally disappointing showing in Bangkok. For some reason, they decided not to choose their arguably best map, Bind. However, this is not a Bangkok power ranking, it is a CN stage 1 power ranking. With that being said, they will probably look like the second best in the region behind EDG, destroyeR needs to catch their comps up to what's meta.
Nova Esports
With a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Wolves in the midseason friendly tournament, Nova's quality cannot be denied. While they've recently dropped star duelist SWERL, their performances have not stagnated in the slightest. I personally did not rate Nova all too much at the start of this season, but they could be a strong contender for Toronto.
Bilibili Gaming
While BLG cannot be considered a high firepower team in Chinese terms, Coach bail has whipped his boys into pretty solid shape. As a result, BLG is one of the more structured teams in the region, and as I believe that teamwork does make a team strong, this Bilibili side will likely look to be one of the challengers for Toronto.
Xi Lai Gaming
After winning Ascension and shifting the team around, XLG clawed around a bit in Kickoff before hitting a wall against eventual champions Edward Gaming. With some time for the team to gel, with players like Viva likely adjusting to his new role, this team has high firepower, and a very strong coaching team. I would personally be surprised if this team does not perform.
Wolves Esports
Not quite the team I'd thought that they'd be. With a roster shakeup, they've picked up Juicy and Lysoar, with the latter especially looking to make FPX regret their poor transfer decision. With that being said, I'm sure many people expected a lot more from this team, and they have a long way to go in order to prove themselves.
Jingdong Mall JDG Esports
After a horrendous last season, the boys have locked in. Babyblue, to my surprise, has looked like a great signing, and while I have no clue as to how MrCANI is in tier 1, stew and friends look to be quite exciting. As a result, I would happily lock this team in at 7th place on my list.
Dragon Ranger Gaming
Now, I said during Kickoff that they might want a new, exciting duelist. Here he is, Ying. Now, I do think that he has a good amount of potential, and I am happy with the overall talent in the team. However, I think that this team sporting a cute dragon as its logo will likely require more time, which they might not be good enough considering that they're facing relegation. New coach NathanD will have to cook.
FunPlus Phoenix
If I'd known how washed this team would be at the start of this season, I don't know how I'd react. This team is in the absolute mud. Hopefully, whoever takes the wheel will have the boys lock in, and have them play some more standard comps. This team will likely bounce back and not actually end up this low. With that being said, they have a lot to prove.
Titan Esports Club
With the signing of a potential new star duelist TVirusLuke, this team could also be one on the up. B1ack could be benched again, and Rb might play full time initiator. With that being said, these guys could perform better than they currently are, but not too much better to be honest.
TYLOO
These guys suck, but not more than All Gamers. I do like their individuals though. slowly is quite good, and so is hfmi and Ninebody. Can they pull off some upsets with their coach sword9?
All Gamers
Hopefully they can uncover a gem or two from their 12 players to not end up 12th in the league by the end of this year.
No no, I just genuinely believe in the boys. Rarga and happywei are both self explanatory, while coconut is a bit of a rookie and I'm not too sold on YOU. However, Viva is genuinely my GOAT. I really liked his gameplay ever since his Rare Atom days, and I think that he does just need time to adjust to new roles on the team.
And he IGLs, what a man!
Not a question but XLG are qualifying to Toronto!
True Chinese Valo OGs remember this man coaching NIP with SiufatBB, Spring and Eren.
They can field a football (soccer, depending on your preference) team!
Might rebrand to Every Gamer because they're signing every fucking gamer under the sun.
All good lad, you do wonders for the CN region and your work is appreciated vastly. Keep your head up!
cxy0714 is the Kulin player you're referring to. However, they just picked up cxyy, who was the TE substitute up until now.
Who are they fielding? How are they affording this many players? How is this sustainable? And how are they supposed to avoid going 0/5 in Stage 1?
Tell me you don't watch CN valo without telling me you don't watch CN valo.
His name used to be lt but he rebranded.
