Is underrated and deserves a better team, I’d be disappointed if he doesn’t get poached before franchising
If only T1 could replace pwny with Sylvan…

nAts has been better then Chronicle this stage and neither one of them are currently better than yay/derke imo

Yeah, you definitely weren’t implying something else

The ‘better players’ also got shit on by Loud, PRX, and Zeta last event

If the fans voted it would only be NA/EMEA players

First time I’ve heard DRX get called ‘flexible’

Korea:
BuZz - Sentinel
MaKo - Smokes
t3xture - Duelist
Xeta - Initiator
stax/Zest - IGL

True, but I also don't think it was difficult to predict them to fall off, given how much they depend on PTC and JohnOlsen fragging

It's kind of depressing that that's how little the fans expect at this point

+MY/SG

Same, PTC and JohnOlsen are so fun to watch

1) MY/SG -Paper Rex are currently the best APAC team until proven otherwise and Bleed/Gaimin are both strong competitors
2) ID - Improved a lot this split and have two strong teams (ONIC and AE), with BOOM being just a tier below them
3) TH - Used to be the undisputed best region but has looked shaky this stage, XIA is their only solid team right now
4) PH - Region has tons of org support but the teams are just mediocre. Aside from Secret, I think the region just lacks experience
5) OCE - Order are super strong and I think BOBO has potential if an org like RNG signs them
6) VN - Big BAAM looked like the worst playoff team but Fancy United and Cerberus are alright
7) HK/TW - Has potential if it gets more investment, players like 8lua deserve more opportunities
8) SA - Pretty self explanatory, their teams can't seem to stop choking and somehow GE keep winning domestically when OG and VLT looked better imo

TLDR: MY/SG > ID >= TH > PH > OCE > VN >= HK/TW > SA

Rankings are based on a mixture of both quality and quantity, which is why a region like ID is higher than TH even though XIA have a good chance to be better than ONIC

It’s crazy that we’ve only gotten to see 29 teams on LAN over the past year and a half, especially when events in CS, like the PGL major, have 24 teams

The Order logo is sick wdym, it just looks worse in dark mode than light mode

Yeah, but you also can't ignore the fact that 90% of those G2 flairs are inactive accounts that were only created because Mixwell literally said on stream to comment on the G2 vs FPX match

That 1v2 loss was so tilting to watch even from a neutral perspective

If Talon don’t buyout a HK/TW team in the next 6 months, I’ll be incredibly surprised

I personally believe that SA will definitely get a slot, I mean isn’t GE loaded?
Nigma, Secret, Talon, XIA, and a few of the mobile games orgs, like RRQ or ONIC, have a decent amount of money too tho, so I guess people are looking at those orgs instead

Not giving SA a franchising slot would be a huge mistake by Riot

APAC Finals??? This’ll be the Champion’s Finals

Idk anything new, GE’s coach is definitely lying about beating DRX though

Give us Masters in Tokyo then, I wanna see the fan reaction to Zeta winning

EDG haven’t played an international match since losing to NU a year ago, don’t feed into the CN will dominate copium yet. They are talented individually but have the worst teamwork out of any region

I thought they were getting signed by Tricked though?

Definitely bait

https://www.vlr.gg/1635/team-solomid-vs-sentinels-faze-clan-invitational-playoffs-gf
Was the first match I ever saw and is still in my top 5 best matches of all time

Analyst here - no fucking clue, they probably just wanted to play a third map

XIA, Bleed, Secret, Talon, EDG, DRX, DK, Zeta, and CR are all wealthy and can outbid Western orgs
As well, I honestly don’t think it would be a bad thing to see a team like PRX bought out by a bigger org like Alliance, they deserve bigger paychecks then they are currently getting

The squad got some good T1 experience, they’ll do better next time. They’re such a fun team to watch too, regardless of the results

Jugi with the 40 bomb, dude’s something else

W, I hope he's not in contract jail though

I wouldn't be surprised to see a large org poach him before franchising

ONIC G are a level above them anyway, so all good

RC better not troll for my pickem’s sake

yay - he's literally the definition of consistent, dude has literally only had one match that he has gone negative in over the course of an entire year

Liquid aren't top 5 world though
OpTic, PRX, DRX, Zeta, Loud, Fnatic, Guild, FPX, and ACE would all beat them

They aren’t even a top eight team internationally, so yeah kind of

Can't wait to see what VLR looks like after this game :|

ONS vs EDG Grand Finals? :D

I wouldn’t even be surprised if Bleed announce that they’ve sign 8lua and a translator on +500k salaries each after this match

There’s a reason why DRX chooses to scrim with EDG, CN has a lot of potential as a region. Just wait until Life and whz get to play internationally, they’re even better

They farmed the Order boys three times in a row

I wish that Nth roster could've made an international event, they would've done much better than CR at Champs

He's alright, I don't think he's quite as mechanically gifted as the others but he does his job. I'd say he's a bit worse than Foxy

1) t3xture
2) BuZz
3) Bazzi
4) Seoldam
5) Rb
HM: Foxy, Something, Meteor

Something was already a pretty well known player in the East long before he started playing NA ranked, especially for Japanese fans, and he was always a great player, don't think it was really an arc
Glad he got signed to Sengoku and has found some success after being stuck on BB but I don't think I'd consider him a top 4 JP/KR Jett yet

Who are these people? I only recognize a few of the names

🤫

How is no one talking about how mocking has played 14 different agents over the past 60 days?
