what doesn't count. The fact that literally all 5 players who were on the team are currently playing together means its a "new roster?"

like read this statement u just made - "its still a new roster even with same players"
like it literally doesn't make sense

It could be 3 team groups like the G2 Sen F4Q group and top 2 advance

a large group stage where everyone faces each other and the top 8 or so advance to a bracket style playoffs (similar format for many regions currently like NA and KR)

.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

literally all 5 players on the current team, were on the same team when vs went to international events and stuff (even zest)

"BuZz" cut

tru tru, also I wasn't saying Chamber instead of kj, but that i've never seen buzz play kj before

'new roster'? what new roster

also I'm not talking about one specific player (I mentioned buzz on kj since I've never seen him on it before) I'm referring to the region as a whole. Just today, chamber was played by both teams in guard v optic and almost every other time since his release into pro play. Kr teams tend to shy away from chamber much more

:/

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I feel that Chamber is one of the best agents rn in the meta tho

both great games... but Brawl Stars better ;)

and why are Korean teams afraid of playing Chamber like he's the plague?

lmao

hire me I can translate between 4 languages :)

not "they"

V1 got beat by KR kekw

only Sen who, not only were not underdogs, but the favorites. And they barely beat Fnatic too (14-12, 16-14, 13-11)

EMEA teams will do good as usual, expecting a bit more from Brazil or I'll by lying by saying I won't be disappointed, expect NA to beat minor regions like KR and JP, expect a few SEA team upsets

massive W

nah 3rd times the charm :)

rare jblancard W

Loud will get clapped by some sea or jp team watch

him and maybe leaf

I've always rooted for C9 in the NA scene, but I want Guard to win since if they lose, C9 are likely to close the game out in the next 2 maps and have a short series

someone find me a defibrillator quick

bruh lol

tbh none of us (koreans) expect to win glory at international events. We're not known for fps games and the fact that we have competitive teams at all is good enough for us :)

oh :(

L post or W bait, they showed they deserve to advance.

ty Hudsen

unfortunate one of these teams has to go

I think C9, they did beat Guard last time, but more importantly, considering this is a BO5 I think they have a better map pool

Sad that one of these teams isn't going to make it

and how they thought the game should be played. exactly what I said from the beginning that his varying views were not being implemented and executed well by his team.

lol what is this thread?

Sure, we should support women's rights, but I don't see how restricting casting to always 1 male 1 female or 2 female is supporting women's rights. Using the most qualified/experienced casters seems the more logical way to go, regardless of gender. If there are qualified and good female casters, dw they'll be cast. (ex: chad pansy)

kekw more diversity? These castors are fine. Why bring in another castor who is specifically female just for the sake of having a female castor? Just enjoy whoever is casting at the moment. (There are female castors I like too not being sexist or anything btw)

lmaoooooo ggez, he was dropped for the exact same reasons I said he should be dropped. You can't beat the great Vortexy with his immaculate logic and reasoning. Try to not cuss others out when you lose an argument tho. You sound like a sore loser lmao

shok dat

ty Eutalyx well written as always

No, you don't seem to agree with dropping Bonecold apparently saying stuff like it would be "the most retarded move you can do" if you bench him.

First of all stop asking how it’s that individual’s fault. Nobody said that, I even specified he wasn’t at fault. It’s getting a bit ridiculous by now.

Second, who said they were dealing with the same issue at champs? Metas change, opposing teams improve, the team needs to change as a whole as time passes.

A different view on how to execute their game plans.

I would fix the issue by dropping Bonecold, in case you didn’t notice that’s what I was advocating for. And lo and behold it happens. I think we both know who’s correct. The results speak for themselves.

The fact that he wasn’t sharing the same vision on how to play the game? Yeah that’s exactly my point. He hasn’t been able to successfully igl as you can clearly see because of that, hence his dropping. Besides that statement which literally supports my claims idk what other point you brought up.

Then what was? Lmao, still yet to give me something. NT buddy. The simple fact that he was dropped is kinda telling who’s correct rn.

lmao you're repeating the exact same things to no avail

1. his individual stats aren't good enough
2. he hasn't been leading his team well (even if it's because he had different views on how to play the game) which shows through their bottom 2 group stage exit

I'll simply repeat the facts myself. You're still yet to give a logical reason to defend him.

edit: it keeps adding new posts to this thread idk why

.

Wrong you braindead baboon. If you read, I CLEARLY stated the team was lacking leadership and decisiveness in-game as well, the responsibilities which rest on the igl's shoulders to provide solid leadership and guidance (on top of his already poor individual stats). Looks like I wasn't the only one who felt like it since, in case you didn't notice, he got dropped. Literally shows you don't even read what I write and are just trying to ramble on pointlessly without evidence or logic or reasoning, defending this guy like he's some Greek God.

never seen a Korean with such L takes
