both these teams are crazy good wdym

they hated him because he spoke the truth

bro take your meds

China gets more esports viewership than all of Pacific, wtf are you on

FPX should clear Sen (if Sen keep playing like this) but who knows. It's gonna be a banger either way

No, the last time they played (at Shanghai) they played a (from memory kinda close) game, which Paper Rex won. You're thinking of Madrid, which, fair, but PRX still came third in that tournament.
No hate to EDG, I love them, but there's no need to spread misinformation.

ok that's just rewriting history

China has a massive population and insane viewership. In terms of population, that ratio to those other countries seems about right for a country of well over a billion people with a large esports scene (India has a similarly big population but lower viewership/revenue).
According to this article from 2022, China's total esports revenue is greater than the rest of Asia combined; from that perspective, China having its own league makes perfect sense; there's enough of a market to support it, and it worked for League with the LPL.
Also, Korea has 3 teams (DRX, GENG, T1).

bro had the script

They didn't play great, but they very nearly beat 100T, who look really good. If they won, we'd be having a similar conversation about 100T, who didn't win especially convincingly. Like, if this is bad, then some of these teams are straight fucking dogshit. I'm a PRX fan, I'm malding too, but just keep things in perspective; PRX will definitely make Champions, they will almost certainly make playoffs, they might even win. Like, chill, it's not that bad.

EDG vs Heretics ≠ EDG vs PRX
Like, EDG genuinely played well vs PRX.

come on it was pretty close

Asia has two regions (China and APAC), which are the two largest markets for esports - every seat in Shanghai is fully booked, for example. That means everyone in these regions gets good times, as well as OCE. That's a good solution for a huge proportion of people who are not adequately represented by VLR posters.l
