average Gamblenats W

0/8

with the 2nd system prx drew geng in the second round not the first and im pretty sure regionals arent allowed on the first matchup

also sometimes regional matchups are unavoidable for the 3rd round

Geospliced this aint like you wtf.

r u fucking kidding me

You are just describing what it would look like for CN teams to be successful internationally but the focus of this discussion was on how CN teams will become more internationally competitive.

The only way your describing how CN will become successful internationally is your description of "breakthroughs" but how will they achieve "breakthroughs"? Like my original post I would argue that simply attending more internationals isn't enough for teams to have "breakthroughs".

This is my last post since u are incapable of correctly reading my post.

The betting receipt is not the only hard evidence that sean has that there is some match fixing going on in tier 2, I recommend you rewatch the video if u disagree with me here.

Just because blue otter is still playing doesn't mean that they weren't match fixing, riot is most likely still investigating since neither blue otter nor riot have made any sort of statement regarding the match fixing allegations and so they have allowed blue otter to still compete as allegations shouldnt be enough for them to stop competing all together because they may be false allegations.

When riots investigation has concluded then we will know whether blue otter will either stay competing or face some sort of punishment.

Yeah so most likely they have other forms of evidence other than a simple vod review.

Based off the other screenshots there is almost definitely match fixing going on in tier 2 but we still don't know what teams are match fixing and so they are probably doing a full scale investigation on all of tier 2 and not just blue otter.

If riot was already done with their investigation then it's ever more of an incentive to make a response video

The point of making a video is to try and clear their names, riot has made 0 statement and their players reputations are still in ruins and so the objective of making the video hasn't changed.

I agree but this isnt the determining factor that will lead CN teams to becoming better, otherwise we would see 0 new teams even make internationals and yet we already have so many new teams that have played so amazingly such as Heretics, EG, G2, Geng (2023 and 2024).

I would agree that facing international teams will help players grow but I don't think its nearly as important as you make it out to be.

they said they would release a video

I agree that sean is just throwing out false allegations off 0 evidence that isnt simply sceptical circumstantial evidence.

But tbf blue otter also haven't released any response video yet so it seems like riot is still investigating behind the scenes.

so your point is that you think more CN teams need to make internationals for the experience of going to one?

Why would they need pacific level of domestic competitiveness??

EMEA's domestic competitiveness is very weak atm with fnc and heretics always being the top 2 teams and yet in china we have seen a lot of fluctuations between 2-4th last year and even the best CN team this year with EDG not even making top 3 in their own region.

I would say CN already has more domestic competitiveness than EMEA and almost the same as Pacific atm.

R u more talking about a few years of sustained high domestic competitiveness?

I mean historically teams with a sub have played very well (Heretics, prx)

exceptions are fnc but they had 2 subs tbf

yeah but u dont need to a win trophy for your region to be good. Last year heretics was prob the 3rd or 2nd best team and yet they didnt win any trophies

strat saving is pure cope, tbh wolves played a very different game than what SEN have probably seen before and so they prob didnt really know what to do but against a non chinese team they should look fine.

this has gotta be his worst performance maybe ever in a series

anyone with an iq of over 5 would agree that sen are the favourites but sometimes its just fun to root for the underdog.

BLG 2-1 PRX

lol

8-4 isnt a big lead what r u talking about.

blg has a chance but they would need to be in very good form

I thought wolves played pretty decently all things considered.

Their lotus attack was embarrassing but I don't see anything else they should be ashamed about.

Geng 65/35

I think it was more Geng playing amazing then mibr playing terribly.

if u didnt have loud top 4 coming into the event then you are braindead.

Also u don't reflect the populist opinion which is the opinion that decides who the favourites are.

You say this in hindsight when you can only truly tell how these. teams were percieved before they achieved x thing.

KC and loud and sen were considered above gen.g, and it was 50/50 between gen.g and prx for 4th

this just isnt true.

Look at the betting odds as this gives an indication of what team people think is most favoured and from this you can easily tell that they were not considered at least top 2-3

gen.g were not even considred to be top 4 coming into the event.

look at the betting odds here for instance.

also sen weren't clear favourites

there are so many games each event where objectively neither teams are the favourites until hindsight

I mean there are hundreds of rickroll videos but with differnt urls
