Accomplished everything here, no more motivation so now she goes back to the game she enjoys the most. It makes sense to me

I think he does a lot for the community and I don't care about his personality. Only thing that sometimes bothers me is when he aporpiates some reports that are already known without properly giving credit. But it's all good ig

Officially EMEA
Unofficially whatever makes you feel more identified

CIS has had 1 VCL that was gonna be part of the EMEA finals. Far East Russians do not have or have had any VCL in Pacific. If they were considered Pacific and not EMEA players. It would actually be very unfair for them if they were Pacific because they would not have any VCL they could actually compete in as regionals

Russians are imports in Pacific idk how else I can explain it, read my first post again "EMEA player, asian talent"

Can easily do but they don't? They consider Russia one region that's just what they decided and how it is

Bruh yk Middle East is Asia too right? EMEA includes CIS dude

Saudi Arabia is an Asian country which is part of EMEA
Far east Russia is an Asian zone which is part of EMEA

And So are Turkey and Saudi Arabia is what I'm trying to tell you my friend.
You're not understanding my point. Answer this question, what is the difference between far east Russia and Saudi Arabia that makes Saudi Arabia be EMEA but Far East Russia not?

So is Russia? What's that supposed to mean

Keznit is

Red Bull is on another level, hopefully the engine breaks down xD

Sainz got fucked that last lap

Dude it's not about what server you play in. That's just not how it works, it's about what country you reside in, and that is Russia which is an EMEA country as easy as that.

Let me put a different example then. Most part of Turkey is Asian too does that make them not be EMEA? Do you think the Saudi Arabia team who are on the MENA VCL play on European servers? No, but they're EMEA because their country is part of EMEA
EMEA ≠ EU

That's not what I meant. ik how continents work. But EMEA ≠ Europe. We have to guide ourselves by how Riot splits regions not the actual geography my friend. Russia is EMEA and it can't be EMEA in one side and Asia on the other side. For example if that was the case is Dimasick not EMEA for example?

I really hope CIS league is back up next year, it doesn't depend on Riot tho.

That region might be the biggest farm of talent in the world

Ig there might be your answer lol

Gonna be following it, sad that only 1 game a day tho

I don't think Riot can split a country into 2 regions, so yeah technically imports. But being fair still Asian talent since they've been grown playing on the Asian servers/teams

The watch out for both of the teams, they will be up top

ec1s lacks firepower for tier 1 but he is excellent with the strategy and the calls, (firepower more than good enough for tier 2)
Doma comes from being one of the top players of the French league just got beaten by Vitality on the finals (2nd best tier 2 team in EMEA last year, and Doma owned them in regular season)
Hvoya and Flabben have had a rough 2022 but they're insane players

If they adapt fast they're gonna be scary. How good are their teammates?

Yk what I mean? And Spanish VCL level is quite high compared to Indian VCL

I have both of the Russians hope, Ik last year they were bottom of tier 2, but Bisk and Insider from KPI were both tier 3 the entirety of last year but rn they are some of the best players (Bisk top 2 duelist) we have on the Spanish VCL

Hvoya and flabben have had similar paths since they split up that old KPI roster, I don't think they're as good as Insider and Bisk (If they are they are gonna absolutely own), but whatever their level is I think is more than good enough to be some of the best players in this league

No clue about the local players but Doma/ec1s/hvoya/flabben have all been really good in the past, let's see how they manage this situation

ty my friend

xD
How was the viewership tho? Genuinely curious, it wasn't the best map for high numbers but still

Hvoya and Flabben have both beaten FPX and been some of the best Russian players at some point. This is more than good enough to farm this league. Played with Derke, Cloud etc, took maps off GMB

Ec1s is a great IGL which I think is what a team like this could need.

And about hvoya and flabben, they have had a rough year, but they used to be tier 1 players in the early stages, beat FPX and everything, I think that's more than good enough. How good are their teammates compared to other teams?

Wait to see Doma and ec1s first
Also it's been a while but I wanna see hvoya and flabben

Cloud vs Leo

This is exactly how I expect this game to go lol

It's really hard to rank IGL's without the comms, but yeah it's something like that. It all depends on what you value more consistency like kolda winning and brining several teams to LAN, or actually being an international Champion like Redgar or Bonecold.

I think that's def the top 5 but can't decide the order, do have to say I do not like Bonecold at all since he has had to stop IGLing several times on his teams, I don't think he is a pure IGL like the other 4

Redgar needs to adapt to English, but there is no better IGL's in EMEA rn. Only Ange1 and Boaster and then comes Redgar/Koldamenta

Morcilla diff

FF W

I’m sorry but it’s not the case. It’s something VCL related, either merging teams or rearrenging the slots of the current ones

Región Clash is always super fun. And yeah I def wanna watch another 3-2

Also I don’t think KPI or Case have too big of a chance but I’m sure they have the individual talent to pull a map. B1SK is gonna be in a big team soon, dude is insane

Yeah it is an unofficial event in the middle of the season after all so I would think teams won’t be tryharding too much

VCL Ig

Parla can’t win their own region

He’s been around for a long time

Looks like he left to look for new opportunities but since he hasn't found any good ones he is back. Weird tbh

April 23rd

So glad they're finally picking him up

Not the best moment for an RNG one xD

Ardiis
Dephh on Jett
Sacy on Pheonix
Pancada on Reyna

Yes, only the French one and Turkish one are getting views. The Spanish one is getting 2k average, Polaris not even 1k, East around 1,5k too. Not sure about the other 4 but imagine they are around those numbers too

Obviously they all have higher peaks but that’s the average

Makes sense

Yeah Ik, we'll see
What do you think of Boom btw? Haven't seen the games but it seems like the team is doing pretty bad

Yeah just found it that Vit roster was awful

So placing second is good enough for now Ig since you'll probably qualify anyway
