Didn't they also sign a new splitgate team like a week ago?

Source?

Vitality 100% gets the slot and Excel/BDS/MOUZ also have better chances than a team like KOI imo

Top 8 Teams (not in order): OpTic, 100T, Fnatic, FPX, Zeta, DRX, PRX, Loud

I’m pretty sure they are going there with a focus to play East Asian teams though, especially since they can already scrim against SEA teams with decent ping

Probably specifically going there for DRX, ONS, DK, EDG, Zeta, CR, and Nth if I were to guess

I didn't even realize he was on Gen.G in the first place :|

This is mostly his opinion though, I could easily see certain regions get excluded and teams like Cerberus getting in over Fancy United because ties to LoL or Talon picking up a HK/TW roster to make it in the league

I also doubt that a small org like Griffin, for example, would make it over Crazy Racoon or Damwon, the org seems like it lacks stability and the team barely has a following

Boostio and Stellar have been doing some great IGLing this split, but I think it’s a little bit too early to add them. I’d say that FNS, vanity, and dephh are probably the best IGLs at the moment

I think the best possible Acend would’ve been keeping Bonecold but replacing Kiles with Monsterr, the team under Bonecold’s IGLing was peak ACE imo, but the current roster is still far from their skill ceiling so we just gotta give them some time to develop

Do people actually believe it was 100% his own choice because T1 is a KR org? C9 was consistent top NA team and T1 can’t even play VCT, he definitely got pressured out by other factors (like the chaos boys favoring their ‘chemistry’)
If it was purely up to him, there would have been no reason for Vanity to make a comment on his English or the team reaching it’s skill ceiling

C9 with Xeta was also able to 2-0 EG and had a good chance to beat OpTic, given how close C9 with Curry made it. Kind of sucks for NA, they lost a consistent top 3 team because one of the worst trades I’ve ever seen

Munchkin
Bazzi
Bunny

Patiphan owns u

Sadge, I would’ve liked to see OG qualify too but it is what it is. Maybe GE will pull a miracle run

Is there a reason why VLT and EG consistently look better than GE in Qualifiers/Groups but then always choke when it actually matters?

Can you drive? If you can, you should ask her if she wants to go hangout at like a mall or something, but not immediately in a like a romantic-dating type way, just to have fun. Get to know her friends too cause that can also help you catch hints about what she may be thinking about you

sScary and SugarZ3ro should be there for smokes imo

I guess we’re pulling a SEN and putting the coach in 🔥

Mistic is not better than Marved lmfao, he’s underrated maybe but Marved is currently the best smokes player in the world
You’re on some crazy copium

Why wouldn’t LANs in a different game transfer over? A LAN is a LAN, it’s the experience of being in person that matters

Enzo is not better than Crashies and FNS may be a worse player than Boaster, but is clearly a better, more experienced IGL

Yeah, can’t really blame KR orgs for not investing in Valorant for a peak of like 35k viewers when they can get over +1M viewers in the LCK

I don’t think it’s really an economy thing, both countries have plenty of esports orgs, Korea just happens to be more invested in LoL while Valorant is Japan’s most popular esport

Japanese and Korean are not similar languages, players go there for larger salaries since the Korean scene is barren of orgs

We don’t want him

No offense, but 100T need to try not to get beat by TSM for a 4th time before I’d even consider them better than DRX
EG are also looking like an underrated team, but they have no international experience and I doubt they’d be able to beat Zeta, PRX, or DRX on LAN

^

You’re overrating some of the lower EMEA teams, G2 should not be above DRX and FPX are yet to even play an international event, how do you rank a team that has only played domestically better than a team that has gotten top 8 consistently at international events?
If you’re ranking them purely for domestic play, can’t you say that both PRX and Zeta have both better domestic and international achievements? Hell, even KRU has ‘all time’ better achievements than FPX

DRX vs M3C rematch

ONS 2-1 DK, should be a fun one to watch

Tarik genuinely has no clue what he's talking about when it has to do with any scene outside of NA, I'd be willing to bet that he has never watched a Japanese match. Coming from a CS background, you can see why he wouldn't realize how passionate APAC fanbases can be, since the scene has always been dead in that game.

Saya literally diffed Cryo last time they played, as long as he plays Jett he’ll be fine

Agreed, I was really hoping for an org like Sandbox or Ghibli to come along and sign them, but I guess they never got reached out to

Yeah, their players now play for Fennel, Enter Force, F4Q, and Desperado
Harry is the only one who seems to not have found a new team

stax, Marved

Heretics, Giants, and SMB all fell off pretty hard after making roster changes and selling off certain players
In NA, Andbox were also pretty competitive at multiple points but always fell a bit short

Xerxia had more fans than PRX, Thai fans are very passionate about the game and put up a large amount of the APAC viewership

The first of many orgs to get declined franchising and completely leave the scene, really nice system you’ve got going here, Riot

Ghost, Knights, DarkZero, Soniqs, Akrew, TBK, Gamelanders, Liberty

Add BR and LATAM to that list, teams there are also pretty much playing for second place

If an org like LG couldn’t get into franchising, I fear that Riot may actually be going through with their 8-10 team bullshit
This is just the first of many :(

TenZ - 60.4% winrate (MVP of 15% of the matches)

can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game

I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze.

heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze
tenz? not good with raze
cned? not good with raze
scream? not good with raze
d3ffo? not good with raze
derke? not good with raze

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :>
He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview)

Incoming trembolonaRage copypastas

'//,

Order, Damwon, MAD Lions - all cool looking but clean

Only one of these teams can make it to playoffs :(

Goodluck Wronski! I’ve always thought you were an underrated talent, go make OCE proud :)

The Order that’s going to the APAC playoffs is a lot different than the one that lost to Bonkers to be fair
Now they’re pretty much an OCE superteam, especially since they picked up rDeew, which was Bonker’s best player, and Wronski who is probably OCE’s best talent atm
GE, on the other hand, was never really a superteam and the hype around Skrossi alone was x10 that of what Order is currently getting

oh wow you are so cool, I respect you now ok

Wait, did Gaimin Gladiators sign LaZe?
Also I just realized we have a high chance of seeing an Order vs PRX matchup, that should be pretty spicy
