Stopped reading at VK/VKS being 5-6

It's not confirmed or even rumored, but I think it would be beneficial to the scene
KR would receive org support and viewership while JP would get better competition and improve as a region

Most JP orgs run their max of 2 Koreans already anyway, so I see no reason not to just merge the two

👋

1) VK should not be in the finals, they are too inconsistent and got shit on by X10 Crit
2) VKS weren't the only team to push Gambit to their limits, KRU did it as well

I respect BR as a country, but I have no respect for fans like you.

That’s a cypher diff and a half

hopefully

You guys played your final on Twitter

Ice Bow, Lumberloon, and E Giant decks make me want to delete the app

Mb, I don’t follow Dota2 at all (just look at my flag lmao)

Derke / Zeek?

Xeta is a pretty good fragger and great with utility. I don't know what else you expect from him tbh

Help me add to/fix this list

What games/regions am I missing?

Thanks for the update

Genuine question, I have nothing against the dude, but did Cned ever get punished for committing a literal crime?

Was he just not guilty or did they just brush this stuff under the rug?

I never really read any updates on this stuff other than BBL and FF players getting dropped for it

Asphyxia forgot the password

All I can hope for is that KRU doesn't drop one of their players because they lost in semifinals, unlike another org we know...

We've passed one million

It's because your favorite team lost, same thing happened for me after the VS | C9 game

You just don't feel as invested anymore

In Valorant they are considered LATAM North

Worst: Crazy Racoon, Havan Liberty, Sharks

Depph is insanely underrated

The dude frags hard on Astra and made XSET into a consistent tier one team

This would be the best possible timeline

What games does your region tend to dominate in?

Korea:
LoL
OW
Starcraft

VS honestly have to become more fluid and flexible, like how C9 plays, because at the moment they rely too much on everything falling into a set plan. I just think people are giving them too harsh time, as they still played close games against Fnatic and C9 while recency bias has people forgetting how they've dominated APAC for over a year now

If BuzZ can work on his awping and the team becomes more adaptive when their set plays don't work, they have a bright future ahead of them.

True, people from NA/EU gotta stop saying KR should've gotten another slot in Champions when they literally had the chance to in the APAC LCQ

The most copium you'll see from us is KoreanOverlord saying DK would've won the LCQ on LAN or me saying VS > TS, with both honestly not being terrible arguments when compared to other copius takes

10/10 on accuracy

Excited for leagues and the return of the ignition series

I’d like to see Pooh1tap return to the team

Yeah, and give every non-Asian team in LoL 1 slot

Merging the two regions would obviously be the best because we would than get the highest quality of teams, whether they are from LATAM or BR
The only issue with this is I think it could be difficult to execute well, especially with the massive size of South America

changed it :(

KRU, ACE, Gambit, and Liquid are all still in the running for 2nd place, I've just been most impressed by Liquid and ACE
Like I said, 1-4 are subject to change

Scrims

VS have dominated APAC for over a year now, with teams like PRX even saying that they were the best team they ever played

If TS keep this up, then they are 100% better, but the recency bias is insane atm

KR don't deserve 2, at best just merge JP+KR for a total of 2 slots

If I'd change my list, I'd put X10 > VS, but not Secret

Secret did much better than people's expectations, but they also got by far the easiest path to playoffs (beating VKS and CR)

Even though NV looked lost and had a player with Covid, you still have to acknowledge that the X10 game was incredibly close
NV also put up a better fight against Acend than Team Secret

X10 are also just a really good team

Hopefully we get a KRU vs Liquid GF

What are your top 10 teams in the world?

Here's my list:
1) Liquid
2) Acend
3) Gambit
4) KRU
5) Sentinels
6) Fnatic
7) Cloud9
8) X10
9) Envy
10) Team Secret

My top 4 is subject to change on Saturday btw

Edit: I am sorry for putting VS in 8th, clearly people have very differing opinions :<

CR are saving strats for 2028 though…

KR claim KRU as a fellow pink logo team
VAMOS KRU

Remember when people said LATAM was the worst region before Reykjavik?

Look at them now

Just no point speaking our native languages when most of us already understand English

It’s unlucky, I’m confident VS are a top 8 team, just unfortunate seeding :<

South Korea

But giving them a play-in slot will help the region improve in the long run

Which team do you think has the most potential in 2022?
Basically, will any of them be better than VK?
