honestly skill issue

not in t1 yet, but T1A GangPin. Bro is actual boy group material.
Also, how no one mentioned Bazzi

Why are people calling exa Roy Kim

My goat Muto never sleeps

tbh I'd still expect more from a name as big as Saya but considering this was against NOEZ which could be assumed as a very strong team, it's getting better for Saya

next mako?

One team's playing at their org facility and other's playing at their unlit bedrooms. They ain't built equal

Btw why does Aace look like he's suddenly gotten 6~7 years older than how he used to be when he was in RID

I knew FL would win but I never thought it's going to be this one-sided. Also, how could they lose that round 12.

There was that one instance during Masters Berlin when Korea got 2 spots thanks to Nuturn in Reykjavik and Riot deciding to make that Masters a 15-team tourney.

Besides, yeah, you're right. Though this post wasn't really about the discussion of how many Korean teams are appropriate for partnership.

Well, they are doomposting every single moment on boards and on YT comments about future of JP so I'm not surprised. + quite a few tier 1 players like Izu speaks Japanese and does so while on Valorant JP broadcast interviews so I see how it's very easy to support those players and their teams.

I also slander those SEA flag whiners that come up with every single possible excuse for their losses, so I'm just keeping the balance.

That's actually true. Well, we actually saw how it was during 2022 Reykjavik

That's why I also enjoy PRX and J0ngg downfall

Cut that shit, y'all acting like those trash clickbait content creators on YT or Tiktok.

Most vlr users that I've seen who actually engages on KR team matches and content stay reserved, while these randos come out and parrot the same shit. "KR supermacy, domination, pac fucked, yadayada". I don't know, maybe you guys are keep writing that shit to ragebait SEA and JP fans, who knows.

bro wants to be inspirational

They look good because the roster is stacked as fuck. If anything, it's actively being hindered by this fraud A0tumn

I'm really relieved go see all the positive comments about DFM on YT and other Japanese forums, saying they are looking forward to split 1. Otherwise it might've actually been doom.

A fun match's a fun match, but having a team to root for could make a boring match quite enjoyable. Now a lot of Japanese fans have lost that in the kickoffs.

Should hope for the other regions' representatives to start stepping the fuck up

Well, we'll need a rookie who just steps into the game and immediately starts dominating his veteran opponents, win the world championship in that same debut year, and keep winning for I don't know how many years. Even if it's not someone who follows the exact footsteps of Faker, well in that case it's going to be even harder to be as popular as him.

Though, KK won an international trophy just 4 years into international circuit structure. Can't say the same for Uzi. He had to bide his time all the way until 2018 MSI. By the time KK played as long as Uzi, he'll have a much decorated career, a bigger name in the title's history, I'm pretty sure.

If Korean teams start to dominate we'd need Valo Faker who everyone could root for (or against) or PAC is actually doomed.

No need to say more after seeing how they fixed Foxy9

My mouse double clicks and I didn't knew it was already posted.

And it's not Korea versus the SEA, it is Talon, versus Korea, and they like, those ODDS.

He said by the end of today's stream that he'll continue to watch Pacific until finals. Besides, he really seemed to enjoy GENG v. DRX

Damn posted twice.

JP viewership lost because DFM lost vs SEA viewership saved thanks to Talon?

Though Laz is going to continue with his watch parties so I guess quite a lot of Japanese viewers will still tune in.

He was the main duelist of the old NS team in T2 Korea (the core of that teams is now FearX in T2 Korea). He was called up into the new T1 team that is SPG, after NS took over the org. So current NS is basically SPG + 1 ex-T2 NS player. He dropped a 80+ kill banger in split 2 finals between SPG and NS and was arguably the better duelist. Dude's cracked.

Good point about Primmie. I think I might tune in for SEA playoffs to see how the kid and to his extent, his team plays. Thanks.

Thanks guys, I'll keep an eye on those players brought up in this post.

You think he's the best choice amongst Endoist, Kadoom and Snappy?

Best response, thank you. It does seem like Talon is the better managed org amongst the SEA representatives, like how they signed Primmie mid-season and was a very successful gamble. They know how to take risks. Though concerning Laz, is he really that good? I don't really follow so all I could see are just stats, and obviously, from stats alone he doesn't look that impressive.

My post was made because of that exact reason as well. I wouldn't have wrote this post had Ban and Governor were playing for PRX, since all their players speak English, but for TLN, I think all-Thai makes a lot of sense, especially since they already found a great rookie once.

You'd rather have TLNA players than FS, no?

Maybe it was a bit early to ask since split 1 of CL SEA has to end first.

Is Snappy rank demon? His first actual pro team is Talon Academy, right?

Who do you want to have on Talon to replace Ban and Governor?

Winner of this match prob wins stage 1

Add to that her mother passed away recently as well. Definitely a time to take some rest.

true fan

This comment feel so real after what happened in ALGS today 💀

It's nothing to do with merging SEA T2 into one region. That only happened this year. The effects of merged SEA circuit will only manifest some time in the future. SEA representatives in VCT PAC doing bad has to do with something else, be it bad team management, bad read, or just getting diffed.

They merged SEA this year. SEA representatives in VCT pacific is doing bad this year. They have no correlation.

Stop coping, it's actually sad to see at this point.

They never banned Twitch. Twitch banned Korea

We all knew this match was gonna be a banger

time to take the revenge

Battle of mid ass coaches. Let's see which roster could save their coach's ass harder

tbh Saya was mid af yesterday. Bro was doing well when there were no broadcasts and just fell off hard once on mainstage. Obviously I'll reserve my judgement until the game between them and NOEZ ends, but there were just too many occasions where he was just getting aim-diffed and simply playing bad. His Raze is still not something to boast about either. Brian and Muto really saved rest of their team's asses.

I hope Medu does well. Funny fat man
