GE 26-0 VIT

I’m just saying that you’ve just created these regions in your mind to make it seem unfair. The truth is that it’s the Pacific region, which is 10 teams, and China, which is 2 teams. No where does it state that the Chinese teams in this tournament have any relationship with the KR/JP ones, so I don’t know what the point of this post was to be honest. The SEA teams are just as correlated with the CN ones as the KR/JP are.

Jiangli has also commented on my posts in the past saying that CN+KR+JP is not a region and that calling it East Asia was delusional, so make up your minds. Number of countries/subregions doesn’t mean anything as well, it’s population/playerbase that matters most imo

not me expecting two groups of 16 Swiss format, top 4 from each group moving on to double elimination bracket

where did your hatred for drx come from lmfao

Only one of DRX, PRX, and C9 make it to top 8 meanwhile one of MIBR/TLN/TH/EG makes it on the other side

Also FUT vs RRQ first round while teams like FNC and SEN play each other first round lmao

Sushi can be a bit of an acquired taste and, to be honest, it's still not one of my favorite foods, but based off this reaction though, I feel like you either ate at a really bad restaurant or just don't like fish in general lol

How does SEN losing to TSM make 100T all of the sudden worse than LEV and LOUD bruh

T1 is what it looks like when the DRX strat of signing 3 Jett mains fails

You mean the Pacific league is a one team region? 🤔

I agree T1 are bad but you guys seriously are never going to let that 2021 LCQ go lol

Yes, it’s just that T1 and Gen.G didn’t sign the best KR players. They didn’t sign t3xture and Bazzi, who went to GE instead, and Suggest, who is stuck on DFM. Dplus also has some good talents like Lakia and Sylvan (Rumored), but they don’t like to give players away to their competition

He’s kind of right though, TGrd could probably beat 1/2 of the Pacific teams right now

holy T1 are playing like crap, they keep trying to take duels by themselves instead of swinging as a team

I think so. The EMEA teams have some stacked rosters but TGrd has the best chemistry out of any Ascension team right now. Maybe BLD could beat them?

picking up Carpe seemed more like a clout move than anything. getting a player like Sylvan to play smokes and allowing Ban to flex on initiator would've been the smarter move in hindsight

your hatred for anything Korean is kind of worrying, looking at your post history

T1 really needs to work on their defense rounds

I wanna see a little more from him before judging too hard but I think it would’ve been better if Ban was the 2nd initiator and Carpe was on smokes

xeta and saya activated

Replace cNed with Aspas and than put Cryo as #2 and you have a good list

idk man, clearly we disagree but I still think NAVI would be a lot better off if he just let cNed and Zyppan do the entrying instead, since they seem to be more successful at it

believe it or not, I have seem him play and he's not a very good entry player imo. he went -26 on FK/FD in Champions while on smokes when, to be honest, he shouldn't even be entrying in the first place, since if he dies the entire team loses smokes early for the rest of the round

You really think there is a mechanical gap between soulcas and the other members lol?

No i don't, that's my entire point. I'm saying that ANGE1 is a weaker link mechanically than the other two are, since TL deadass doesn't have a weak link tbh. As for ANGE1, his fragging is way below average and his FK/FD record is awful, so that's why I would consider him a weak link

ANGE1 is one of the best igl's but definitely a weak link bro
the gap between him mechanically and the rest of NAVI is larger than Boaster with FNC or soulcas with TL

Not really they’re fault, 100T, C9, and NRG all dropped out, so the 4 team tournament is kind of last second

Hmm, I'm the complete opposite. I find it annoying that they decided to resign a bunch of washed up players instead of signing new talent from orgs like SBE/NAOS/Oasis when they had the chance. They're new signings are alright but they should've just done a complete rebuild like Zeta did in 2021 in my opinion, but instead they resigned the boomers till 2026 lmfao. This roster along with DNG also might have the worst firepower in the entire Pacific league too, so I'm not real excited to watch them play

They'll definitely be signed as a team by a large org if they make it out of opens, but I wonder which one. Maybe Complexity or a LCS org like CLG or Flyquest?

Soniqs for real have to exit Valorant if they don't win the LCQ and i don't even mean that in a toxic way

NU were the first team to put Asia on the map

they'll either be one of the Ascension favorites or be the most washed team ever created imo

i think OXG are actually a pretty large org since they own Boston Breach and Boston Uprising

steel vs Virtuoso ptsd?

I used a random number generator for this entire pickem, honestly I could see this happening

tbh the only teams that I would consider "upsets" if they lost would be Dark Ratio and Oxygen, everything else is up in the air

jerseys look alright tbh but the logo and name is so ugly now. the Damwon logo was one of my favorites too man

You realize "Guild" are out right? (they most likely won't even get signed)

i respect the GIA pick

Just want to see people's thoughts on these matchups, just list the team you would have winning:

SEN vs LOUD
NRG vs 100T
LEV vs C9

PRX vs DRX
ZETA vs GE
TLN vs T1

NAVI vs FNC
TL vs GIA
KOI vs KC

I’m a fan of TGrd, but I wouldn’t call Tex an upgrade

nah man it’s puppies, I gotta click

YOU PUT BANG AT 7 BUT MAKO AT 20 LMFAO

sScary, Deryeon, ZmjjKK, Kadoom, Lakia, Surf, popagachi, Meiy

Fantastic move by Damwon, but I will never have faith in this team. Damwon are really the king of choking at this point

Hyeoni

Tex 💀

Bro really made this thread over a flyingdoggo bait lmfao

The NA fans on Reddit know so little about the Pacific scene it’s actually hilarious

OpTic vs DRX Upper Semi Finals in Reykjavik, DRX get the defuse that was at 0.04 seconds and win 2-0, making the 5-6th curse never happen

The person I was replying to didn’t mention Pancada bro

Vinland Saga and BSD
