Kess is good but I followed 100T since 2021. I don't trust Asuna in any good forms. The team need to carry him when that happens and against teams like SEN or G2(with or without Leaf) they'll falter.

AMER is possible, but there are three team AMER better than 100T. One of them I don't need to say.

Gonna be 2-0 with PRX win but the first map is peak VALORANT already.

T2 NA will clear SEN too. I forgot to include "some" and not all of T2 will clear SEN and that's my bad. I'm just being realistic since some T2 Pacific teams already cleared PRX in scrim before Toronto. SEN's strong point is not against X Factor and Pacific T2 have some team with insane cohesion and mechanics hence they'll be cleared. MiTH already cleared SEN pre-Kickoff and there are some teams stronger than MiTH that are growing even faster. TBH, not even talking about SEN, even PRX will have a hard time against those T2 teams I mention.

I have around 158 from online test so the other NRG fan's IQ is quite low.

T2 Pacific clear SEN currently. That's how good Pacific is.

Currently NKT. They're currently insane especially in the current match (NKT vs TLN Academy) since they need to be the group winner to qualify for Playoffs. I think they are always insane but in every important match they'll choke. Think of them as around the same level as G8, except they only choke in important game and not every 12-? match.

As one of the biggest haters of termi, No.
You'll see termi made bad decision that ruin the team either in Playoffs. That pattern has been continue since I see DRX in Reykjavík. I rather see the change than deciding against the odds.

Real hate didn't even need to watch. See WOL? They don't have Playoff without me even watching.
No hate to the players. It's just so happens that I watch football.

Also, don't hatewatch T1. They already have enough hate. They won't fell the hate anyway since those will redirect to Sylvan. Although the hatewatch will likely be tye modt successful one.

Why would they remove Leviathan? Is he has a break?
Legitimately I don't know why you want Apinya back. If this is not a Leviathan decision but the team decision then I don't knwo why they always nerf themselves down to the ground.

If you guys forgot about XineFso glaze for ten seconds, you all can agree that primmie has better potential and if he can speak English fluently and easy to acquire it's endgame for kaajak. See how much people call to replace something with primmie when XineFso became inactive.

We as a community just got tilted by one-man army so much we can't accept the drastic difference in situation. FNC is currently second best team of all time in VALORANT and three core players are still there. TLN has very talented players, but experience is very different with only one playee who is good but never in top list of IGL and almost no international appearance since they lose so early.

To be honest, this is like my education situation. Some stupid-ass learn private school with second language proficiency and ask me why am I so bad at second language. I'm tired of people assuming other people's living condition is the same when it's not. It's ridiculous. It's a privilege to be teach and learn a in better environment. I learned it the hard way. At least if you don't acknowledge this in-game, know it that in real-life it really matter very much or you'll have a bad time even if you're a smart-ass in other topics.

Can I asked whether half of you guys never watch VCL SEA since I can address that but it's time-consuming so I would rather save time if you guys already know the lore.

If Primmie play Duelist and PRX has today's form? It's not even a debate.
Let's see what Primmie will choose since this kid always want to learn things.

Bro make me want to be another XineFso ngl.
But can't blame XineFso after that T1 match though. Primmie just became the weapon of mass destruction so he say can glazed all he want that match.

NGL, KRU is like what TMV said PRX is. They'll make Champs but you know they'll never get the first spot.
They are the team I genuinely impressed with years after years but you know they'll do good so it's kinda dull the hype down, and you know if you watch since 2021 then you'll think of them as a bit of wasting the spot. It's hard to control that feeling when they always make Champs and get trolled by VALORANT god. I hope they don't get it instead since it'll be painful to see them get group with either TH, G2, GEN, or all of them.

Let see with time man, you're unnecessarily toxic to the team and yourself. I don't know if that's inherent or troll but you gonna have to have better emotion, or better, life.

His position is not easy to sub, least time to practice, not a professional athlete anymore. It's more than enough benefit of the doubt if we think as an Intellectual. We can just let time prove it whether he's good enough or not. But at the very least he has done enough work for what he has been signed for.

I fear that this'll work though. His impact is less than Leaf but experience as a caster might be useful with strategic. If they did it right it can be similar-but-less-effective version of OG Ceb. Problem is G2 might not need that, but might as well be what saved them too if this can help prevent the shortfall when they nearly win.

Problem is I want Leaf to play. Babybay is decent and a wild card, but Leaf is like Niko of VALORANT Team. Just. Whatever man I hope the best for everyone involved.

Wrong person. My bad. You guys troll every forum so it's hard to differentiate.

Please specify "these Thais" since I bet more Thai are PRX fans than TLN fans. That's how much impact cgrs has in Thailand.

I have life though so no need to troll.

I trust your name. So I didn't trust GEN.
But if you are serious on the prediction, really sorry friend.

Sorry but not today, and only TLN representative of the one super fan is xineFso.
And for fairness, I think TS representative of the one super fan is also Delighted.
So... basically, regardless of the past, you'll just hatewatching each other since there can only be one team at the best and it's your team right?

This is just a group of baiter. We don't need to take it so seriously and we can bait the bait so we become the masterbaiter.

I think T2 has good one. Most in T1 need simple logo since they are large org.

• Meteor
• Ascend
• Full Sense
• Velocity
• FearX

Lowkey nAts is the best IGL with fragging power.
Valyn and Munchkin is another contender but not as impactful.
Forsaken is W Gaming and PRX play and throw as a unit so it's hard to count but he did more than decent job.
Kr1stal is unique since he have two brain. He's fragging but you should put him on Duelist.

These are other notable one but basically: nAts, Valyn, and Munchkin are the best right now. Other two require more to work with.

ZesBeew is good enough but just don't pick Duelist. The past is over and his neon is bad at best and horrible at worst. Let someone do the different job man. Why do you have to find problem for yourself again and again since Nigma. Maybe you want to revenge Udotan with that Duelist pick but that's not gonna happens when Udotan have a better team than last time.

Even with their WL, they'll quality right? Since at least one team and probably two will have a 2-3 or lower which is lower than TLN 3-2 (win BME already).

They don't without Leaf man. They don't.
They can win but they just don't.

I'm not too sure if anyone will choose ban or garnetS for team Thailand. I'll rather go all Thai and seek other option. I think there are plenty of talents in Southeast Asia Split 3 even if you don't choose Killua or Thyy like the current TLN roster.

edit: I think my post is too shallow so I will give some of my example for team Thailand without Killua or Thyy.

1. Currently, I would have endoist as Duelist instead of Thyy and/or garnetS. He's natural duelist like Jawgemo and kid is still growing.
2. TBH Killua peak is very high and I think he have potential to be world-class initiator so it's hard to find replacement. If I have to pick one maybe PTC or Leviathan, or just some flex player to play other position. It's not equivalent exchange since the style is different but those two are still top player in Thailand.
3. Another interesting action might be to pick Laz (Thai Laz) from FS as IGL and let Crws be 6th man (if he want to retire) like what PRX did in Toronto with Mindfreak. Crws can give insight into the game while Laz can control the game in his stead. Not to disrespect Laz, he have a long experience but he need guidance from someone in global stage. I personally think this six-man roster as guidance is one of the key winning conditions for T1 and PRX but might as well be only me.

P.S. to be honest I think the simulation should include the coaching staff as I believe it affects the winning condition largely but I understand the difficulty and complexity of it.

Yeah these gamblers are stupid. 50/50 is a stretch for a curse but then they just have to bet in favor of boom? Yikes.

Heavily disagree since if I agree some team(s) in those list will immediately find a reason to ditch one of their players. Sorry.

I know it likely won't change your mind but you are really complaining to yourself now.
Just close the website. Switch off internet. Touch grass. Call mental health hotline.
Being in reality for a day, a month, and a year won't kill you. And you can come back to complain once in a while.

Yes, but because she's an NA player. If she play for APAC team, it'll still be strange not to name her like other NA individual. I would still feel strange if the player is not from APAC region. Example is Juvenile case maybe? If he was not named then it'll feel personally quite strange from Riot.

Thank you guys for all the hate talk that now PRX make it to Toronto.

We as VLR users are actually smart and better than analysts.

Seem like the worst for TLN when pearl got picked up. It's going to be 13-0 huh. Sad but fair.

Let's say if TLN can play against GEN like how they play against T1, they are going to be the favorite and might even take a win against BME. But today I'm very unlucky so TLN may lose. I hope they at least take a step-up after everything that happened.

Let's give TLN a break this week ok.
Crws dad just passed away. JitboyS has to IGL in his stead. Crws just got backed from the funeral.
These uncertainty can be hard for anyone. Let's give prop to ZETA and also TLN for still competing with their all.

Give them time (Waylay).

Why is 2G > ... > 2G?
The logic is literally not sounded here. You surely can't convince me or I'll be in a paradox.

what do you mean? what do you want to save?

Definitely no bias by me but the system maybe (this works for Bangkok Swiss stage, don't know about Stage 1).

I think you misinterpret what I said about the skin. Thai trends in 2000s prefers to show off more tanned skins. Thai trends in 2020s get some influence to want to be more white in general. I only speak about information and that's the trend of appearance perception in Thailand and further clarify that it's as you said that we have tanned skin.

I think my first comment is too long and hard to read so I'm sorry for that. For simplification, "yes you're right but we had this trend in Thailand and was proud of tanned skin so no one gonna complain."

The real problem they have is most of the time they didn't talk about both map-win condition and tournament-win condition of each team and just say this team is better and likely gonna win the event. They used stats but VALORANT is a low validity case which mean stats lose a decent amount of its value as most are not exactly replicable. Think of how even if you have two games with the same position, same performance, same action for all players from round 1-10 but round 11 will likely won't repeat. Stats might be good enough predictor for match-ups but against the whole tournament, it will lose a significant value.

For example in this case the tournament-win condition of TL and T1 might be quite similar in the way that they amount of play they have define the better performance at the end. It might be some small thing like this that are more demanding from analyst, especially data analyst to isolate this metrics. I must say however video games variables is quite complex so yes it's something that unless you know the exact conditions, have some availability or mindfulness for certain aspects of data, and have time. You won't know for sure. With all respects to anyone, these guys and us are no experts so we're prone to failures. You can see the condition to become expert from Veritasium, which also applied for being better players if that's enticing for you guys.

I quite agree on the crazy parts, but I'm sure there are more people globally, especially from your countries on woke and anti-woke stuffs, than there are crazy Thai fans. Because Waylay appearance was similar to women trends once in 2000s and 2010s, it's not a trend anymore but as Thais with more than 20 y/o saw this trend quite frequently they won't have as much problem with the design unless they are kids.

And like you said "doesn’t look traditionally Thai" is something even Thai want to venture away from. In Thailand, there's a weak link of some traditions to corruption, which is why people, especially young age, don't want to look traditionally Thai. And most Thai people are growing toward a look that the world perceived us currently, like Lisa or Milli for reference. It's better for us to that the agent is more general look here than to be too Thai like Lifeweaver did in OW2. Don't want to use example that may create conflict so just think of any traditions in your country that you like it to be there, but rather not see it everyday. And that's surely gonna be a problem because it's not Thai. Cultural adaptation is sensitive topic among marketers and business people alike and still I think they did a good enough job at least for the design.

What do you mean?

I thought even G2 players would respect it. I would say for all the factors don't forgot G2 have 2 map ban advantage and T1 having a 6th man roster, so at least T1 also have some disadvantage.
And please it's not a home advantage, they're Korean. With all respect to the player I don't consider them fellow Thai and they also prefer to consider themselves Korean. G2 plays well but at the end of the day the better team win that day. G2 just like once in CSGO need to persevere to win.

I think you said International Finals, when is the last time SEN do that, Madrid? Is that even the same team as this one?
It's still an mostly unsounded argument, at least you should said "making Masters Bangkok" because SEN did and It'll make an argument a bit better. SEN did make International Finals can also mean Sinatraa can make that argument , which considered he's not proven that with them he might also win the trophy, only with possibility, is just a reach. Hence I have to make clear which SEN do you mean? Legacy is the past and you can think of England. I might said too much but I had Philosophy and Logics class in my university year hence my usage of some of those framework which can be too much, if it's too much I'm sorry for that.

The best thing to do is not make a unsounded argument in the first place. And TLN never said anything, it's just a person. If you think the fan of a better team can say unsounded things, I think that's unsounded in itself. Any thing that's unsounded should be treated as unsounded.

Next time go to the real event, you'll see that it's different than what you saw from online. I attend Masters Bangkok on 28 Feb and 1 March and it's only the people here thinking too much without decent information of how it is inside the venue. You just make thoughts based on incomplete picture of what you think. I would say it's nothing beside hype for Thai people. Real bias we have in Bangkok is in Ascension Bangkok 2023 if you prefers. Master Bangkok is too loud even for me most of the time. Do you know the approximate delay they have in the event, it's observable from the official English stream if you're observant enough. I think everything will be ass when you want it to be. It's not gonna be ass if problem didn't occurs. If you are old enough to have the old experience, you'll clearly see which events is truly bad when people have claims and pictures of what it once was, not just assuming from the stream.

You are surely racist to say this. I know you can't read Thai but if you can see all the chat in VALORANT Esports Thailand they hailed G2 and their bundles for how long. I'm also in the event in G2 vs EDG match. It's different than the viewpoint you get from online. The crowd are full of people from different region in my seat zone but still mostly Thai at estimated 65%. The announcement is in Thai and what they show on the screen inside the venue is different than what you see because it's from VALORANT Esports Thailand. The sound and screen inside the venue is delay to preserve some competitive integrity and make overhead for production and if you're observant enough you might be able to notice it online. Most of the crowd regardless of nationality is cheering for a good and enticing gameplay, not a boring gameplay. When EDG plays they just clutch like crazy and the hall is extremely loud. The good play from G2 is sure too many but not very enticing hence the crowd die down, like the G2 Abyss jumping into the void.

And you know who primarily said that G2 is a relatively boring team? I don't need to name right? The crowd cheer so much that I have my in-ear headphone inside the UOB Live venue when someone make a crazy gameplay. We make it loud when Trent make one hell of a shot, and It's mostly a racist act to ignore that one thinking we didn't do enough.

I think I would say that's what has been said here about T1 is unsupported by any means and is just either rage bait or a being without a decent intellectual, but what you said is also unsupported by any means or else you might also said SEN can only make show matches instead of playoffs, which is unsupported considering only a single player (and maybe a former player) is playing there.
