oh 100%… mans whole family is set for life if he keeps up this kind of performance

EDG finishing top 8 is already impressive... top 4 would be crazyyy

hope they make a cinderella run like Zeta did tho

this time I hope EDG wins and truly show that China has what it takes to get out of groups… I mean it would be disappointing to see KangKang and Smoggy play only 3 series with how good they are playing right now

I doubt EDG would give up KangKang that easily… China needs superstars like him and the orgs there have the money to get any players they want… If KangKang moves to another region it would be a big blow to the Chinese scene imo

Im so happy that EDG finally got their win.. China bout to take over Valorant this is just the start

CHICHOO might have his LOCKIN form back

this series shows to Riot and everyone that China as a region can compete in the international stage… more importantly it will motivate other Chinese teams to be better

KangKang has been consistently good since East Asia LCQ last year… he deserves a win in an international stage thats why everyone is hyping him up

definitely up there if not the best ye…

EDG a genuinely good team… its crazy how much they’ve improved especially with that much talent from KangKang

get MaKo out of the DRX coach’s grasp

arent MaKo and Sylvan both controller players? even if Sylvan is initiator GodDead is much better

DRX looks so weak… I’d be surprised if they get out of groups

Foxy9 provides little strategic value… he just entries and OPs unlike Zest who midrounds and is consistent in getting impactful frags… having Zest also allows them to run their comfortable comps

he enties. gets flashed. dies.. thats basically how Foxy9 plays

he needs to learn on how to enter like other top duelists cause he’s just getting shut down immediately

Foxy9’s inexperience is dragging the team down… his entry is so one dimensional and always gets picked off first.. at this point it might as well just be a 5v4

the coaches are trying so hard to integrate Foxy9 but he’s just too inconsistent… adding him to the roster made the team shaky

the thing is that he doesnt always peek the same angle and repositions a lot… a true OP masterclass coming from him

an actual Chinese superstar… this man is insane with the OP

China is a big region in eSports which means more money… catering a league specifically for Chinese teams is a good investment for Riot.. i mean just look at the success of LPL in League

Foxy9 is so inconsistent.. unlike other rookies like Demon1, something, caunzin he isnt just at the same level of impact most of the time

he still has room to grow though

I hope he wins an international tournament this year.. mans been so consistent for so long and yet still no trophy

MaKo is literally an uncrowned king… the fact that he doesnt have any international title is criminal

ye stax said in a recent interview that he has his opinions on how they should run the roster but its not up to him… the DRX coaches are lowkey over cooking

everyone is biased anyways... just appreciate the talent

I havent watched a lot of tier 2 because theres too much Valorant right now so I wanna know which teams to look out for in all of the regions

DRX lezgoo

bro you have the script

PRX beat DRX
Team Liquid beat Fnatic

LOUD is next on the chopping block

are you seriously questioning if a Grand Final matters? LMAO this is the worst take I’ve seen yet

I agree its more of an even game… I said LOUD just because they came 1st in group stages just like Fnatic and DRX who also reached grand finals

they all went 1st place in group stages for their own respective leagues and were also top 3 in LOCK//IN… thats why I said big three

will the big three all fall in their grand finals? first DRX
Liquid is a map away from winning against Fnatic
will NRG cook LOUD?

maybe its too early to tell

o7

now that we’re in franchising special treatments towards any team gives a bad precedence for the whole scene… whats the point of Zeta playing in the Pacific League if they qualify to Masters Tokyo and that goes the same to NA teams… why would they play in their league if they could just be invited into Champions LA

it diminishes the whole competitive integrity of the esports and causes a lot of drama

DRX has been looking very vulnerable lately... the match tomorrow will decide it

has been underperforming recently i think

he only started igling in Champs last year before then Zest was igl… he still needs more experience before they can even touch a trophy

stax igling is genuinely their big problem right now… he needs to improve fast if they want to win a trophy

the deep running problem is their midrounding..
the players are amazing, the playbook and strats are deep but the lack of adaptation from the stax and the team is what is losing them games

ye this has been a problem since Champs last year….

will DRX not ban Lotus and actually play it... they've been cooking for far too long...
as far as I know they are the only team in the league that has not shown their Lotus.. correct me if Im wrong

definitely pansy and hypoc

i would also include bren and sideshow

just too many good british casters really

I both hate and like that they are forcing stax to grow as an igl… it sucks to see them lose so much more than other top teams but if it makes them better as a team in the long run then I guess thats a good trade off

thanks. I was wondering why I havent seen KONE in this FGC Act... its nice that the players are finding success in other teams

who is Bilibili Gaming and why are they winning against FPX and ASE

we also havent seen their Lotus… probs gonna keep banning it until Masters

termi is forcing stax to have better mid rounding by not calling timeouts until the last moments… its a tradeoff that they would risk I guess

maybe Riot is giving SEN special treatment since they bring a lot of viewership whenever they make a roster change... or they got him to sign a contract before the roster lock and only announced him being a sub later on

I havent been following VCJ since the last split and I was surprised seeing how a new team can make a deep run and is in contention to make it to Ascension… idk if its the old teams remaining stagnant or new competition getting better… maybe both
