Hmmm, it seems to me that MiniBoo was hired as a duelist most likely because he is a blood relative of Boo. And he never did well at EMEA Ascension.

Why did they hire MiniBoo as their duelist? Was he hired at the behest of Boo?
He has a mediocre record at EMEA Ascension except for his HS%, which is clearly not up to international league standards.

VALORANT and CS2 are different games. Why are you trying to compare them on the same scale?

In CS2 match,
Zywo > Demon1
Simple > tenz
Niko > leo

In VAL match,
Zywo < Demon1
Simple < tenz
Niko < leo

Over.

The average rank of Japanese GC players is around Ascendant to Immortal, and since suzu is the only woman in Japan who has ever soloed and achieved the rank of Rediant, it was easy for her to dominate the Japanese GC scene.

Haha, if the rumors are true, that's a sorry choice.
They should consider adopting mini or mCe.

Salary caps are only effective when far more money is at stake.
Esports players' annual salaries are far less than those of the four major sports, so if a cap were set, it would be impossible for any star player to earn the salary of a typical salaried worker for the rest of his or her life before retirement.

Assuming 20 teams in each league, that means all teams that participated in this year's Ascension will join the league, correct?
To be clear, I don't think Dplus, Orangutan, ONE TEAM, etc. should be able to compete in one of the best leagues in the world this year. It will only lead to a lower level.

FUT????????

JP official, and Shaka.
I think Japanese stream is basically terrible.

To be honest, it is quite difficult to make EMEA regions go viral because the competing titles are too strong; we will need certain popular teams like G8, KC, and KOI to get the momentum going. Polaris, however, were not strong enough for Apeks, and it would have been nice if a team like HEROIC or AST had come in with a strong roster.

Yes, it is. We should be careful about when we hold our conventions. However, if the tier 1 and tier 2 seasons are too far apart, it may be difficult to find scrim opponents. So it might be a good idea to shorten the complete off-season to about 2 months, and parallel the tier1 and tier2 seasons by shifting them slightly.

source?

More prize money for tier2 tournaments? That will only benefit a very small number of teams that will eventually compete for next year's tier2 championship. (e.g. Apeks, Acend, M80, etc. this year)
Increase the number of tier2 competitions? Same.

Let RIOT give money directly to tier 2 teams? Just as there is no end to the amount of direct aid to poor countries, tier2 teams must be able to earn money themselves.

The highly uncertain element of tournament prize money doesn't help; there are teams like SEN, 100T, LOUD, and ZETA that have a short history but have done a great job of branding themselves.
They had a huge fan base even before they were chosen as partner teams.

And I think open leagues are rather the opposite element of establishing sustainability that critics cry out for. European soccer leagues are doing well because of broadcasting rights revenue. J-League, Japan's open league for professional soccer, is run at a loss except for a few popular teams, and is covered by local government taxes.

Well, the WCS anthems are in a rut with only similarly developed songs. Last year's song was a little different, but it didn't seem to be a hit with LOL players.

I only buy Battle Pass and limited time sets like Champions skins, ARCANE and League bundles after 2021.

7ft just.

Yeah, I'm a diehard ZETA fangirl lmao

ZETA JUNiOR

If ZETA were to look for a replacement for Crow, they would look for a player who is fluent in Japanese and can use breeches from a communication perspective. Japanese players with high vlr ratings since the Challengers Main Event are Popogachi (CR),
Tenzou (CGZ),
neth (CR),
Allen (SZ to FA),
and misaya (SG), to name a few.

Allen has a lot of offline experience and can also use KAY/O in assent. He is young and would be a good replacement for Crow.

Does anyone have scrim info for ZETA? Do they really practice?

The assumption that Jemkin is half Russian and half Japanese is incorrect. He has no Japanese blood in him. Therefore, he cannot speak Japanese.

I agree that he is a good shooter, but his inability to use the Omen is a negative, and I don't rate him until I replace him with SugarZ3ro.

Hahaha, What does angry xand think?

Multiple world championships won, strong IGL unites four brilliant young men, high popularity
If he wins this Champions, no one can argue with that, right?

If they continue to emphasize communication in Japanese as they have in the past and do not include foreign players, are there any promising players in Japan who would take the place of Crow and Tennn?

BTW, do you think mini would do well coaching a team other than FNATIC?

source :ZETA TENNN said that in his stream

For those who cannot even stay in the main event of the Challengers, no matter how much the prize money in the tier2 scene increases, it means nothing because they will not be able to get it.

I would have liked to see such a proposal; pro teams below tier 2 should not be selective about tournaments and should participate in even the smallest ones to show off. Just search on Liquipedia and you will find tournaments like Project Alliance: Stellar Series and NSG.

They seem to have some pride and can't just say "give the money directly to the teams" - when you increase the prize money in the tier2 scene, there are a limited number of teams (e.g. NA: M80, EMEA:Apeks、ACEND) that end up fighting to get it

The NiSMO' request is also because they believe they will receive the maximum prize money next year because there are no THE GUARD in the tier2 scene.

Haha, this song is up there with STAR WALKIN'. LOL

After all, too few teams have established their value.

Hah, yes. Then increasing the prize money in the tier 2 scene makes little sense, what do you think?

The tier2 scene is also, after all, only about some teams competing for the championship and nothing else, and the reason NiSMOs asked for an increase in prize money is so they can maximize their prize money if the M80 roster remains next year.

By comparison, the off-season for the four major US sports (excluding camp periods, etc.)

NBA: 5-6 months max.
October: Start of regular season (82 games)
April: Regular season ends
June: Playoff ends

MLB: 5-6 months max.
March: Start of regular season (160 games)
September: Regular season ends
November: Playoff ends

NHL: 5-6 months max.
October: Start of regular season (82 games)
April: Regular season ends
June: Playoff ends

NFL: Maximum 7 months
September: Start of regular season (17 games)
January: Regular season ends
February: Playoff ends

Can they really be called professional teams? Are they not teams pretending to be professional?

Do you guys want an open league like the soccer league or a closed league like American sports?

I am not very familiar with the European soccer scene, but the Japanese soccer leagues, except for a few popular teams in the top league, are operating at a loss, and local government taxes are used to make up the deficit. In contrast, Japanese professional baseball, a closed league, has all teams operating in the black.

The demands of the tier2 scene that bcJ and others are talking about are ultimately jealousy of the losers.
In MLB, even if the minor leaguers are treated badly, there are still great players coming up every year, right?
The tier2 scene is a place to cultivate a hungry spirit. If they can make a living there, they will be satisfied.

Who will be in charge this year?
Comparing past songs, Die for you > Fire again

hey, V1 roster contains player like Bob or KP?

Do you guys think TS and ZETA can beat lower to mid tier teams in other leagues like KC, TH, FURIA, mibr, BBL, KOI, 100T, SEN, VIT?
I do not think at all.

Bro, as you can watch from the NA and pacific LcQs, Chamber are back on the competition scene.
yay will definitely be a chamber otp at C9 next year.

He is allowed chamber otp.

Haven will definitely be banned, and I think either Bind or Pearl will be banned for the rest.
Oddly enough ZETA have a certain amount of confidence in Ascent.

In the end, the three teams that finished 4th-6th in the regular season remained in the tournament. Bored.

I think there was a team that was famous in the LoL division competing in the league...

In reality, considering only the gameplay without taking the actual results into account, RRQ dominated ZETA in both Haven and Ascent maps.
One could say that his statement was partially accurate.

These are the posts of those who predicted that KRU would not win a single LCQ.

I am talking about people like you.
