idk what the history was with this but, now I'm curious as to why SEN never trialled him in the first place. It would've made perfect sense
Yeah, which is why I think an AC or performance coach will help. Winning anything internationally is a lot further away than making it out of groups and that's what they should be focusing on first.
optic loud drx, chatgpt knows im a 2022 enjoyer
I agree, but to see teams like TE FPX and EDG play at the level they did in their first year of franchising is really promising. (I acknowledge that some teams have had an extra year or two but their ecosystem was suboptimal at best). I think VCT has the potential to be one of the most balanced esports in terms of regions. The CN teams remind me of APAC 1-2 years ago, except they seem to be picking up the game even faster
He's proven that he can make a decent team, good but I think he needs an AC or someone to help him and the team get that last little push
zjos when are we seeing you on the tier 1 stage
I need to say keke to all your opponents
Yeah, it does. Look at the score lines.
So? You're saying good teams can't lose against good teams?

r, listen I like the players, and I like the team but somehow every year they always get in to some goofy ahh situation.
2023 - Cove, BLG, agent ardiis
2024 - superteam 'super not trying', 12-5, FNS diffed by sagemommy
2025 - ???
my favourites so far:
2023 was cove, could've made top 3 minimum at tokyo
2024 was 12-5 against c9 likely costing them a champs qualification
CN looks better and better, they are catching up quicker than most expected, and EDG winning Champs increased demand in China (I've seen them compared to the Iceland 2021 SEN)
Korea is also looking super promising next season, if rumours are true (almost) half of pacific are fielding mainly KR rosters (T1, DRX, GENG, SPG, GE)
I think it's a great thing honestly, NA vs EU is still there, but it's nice to see other regions do so well
cNed tex and Chronicle were all jealous of what they had
oh shit this was the original tweet, i didn't even listen to it cuz i thought it would just be a link to the podcast 😭😭
wait I don't have the full context, when did bonkar talk shit about chet?
depends on how confident you are in your aim for me + it heavily depends on the agent I'm playing
80% of the time it's most ideal for me to have a ghost/sheriff

wdym look at this aura
By that logic we should remove Neon's wall, Jett's smokes, and Iso's wall. Phoenix wall only lasts 8 seconds and has a limited range, it's only long enough to be used as an entry tool (Plus even if you consider the time it takes between placing it an swinging you've probably got an effective 6 seconds to use it). Not to mention all of the abilities I mentioned can go through walls/be curved around walls (Yes, even Neon's if there's a gap above). Unlike Jett smokes you can only buy one, which would bring it more in line with Neon and Iso
Yes, if you have Russian citizenship first
no yay but we ball
this roster has mad potential (again)
him lashing out at bonkar is uncalled for.
but to an extent I feel bad for him, it's not always the responsibility of the coach to motivate their players
(some coaches do take on that responsibility, but some dont, if I were to try and compare it to something it would be teachers; you can have a chill down to earth teacher and a super strict annoying ahh teacher, regardless of their personality they can still both be good at their job, which is teaching)
As for what happened with demon1 we don't have the full picture, chet seems to blame it on NRGs management but people seem to think it's him, and it really could be either (or a combination of both)
good roster (on paper)
yeah I agree, I think he's talking about marved, victor and crashies which is what rumours were alluding to previously. afaik from when was streaming he still has respect for demon1, and he blames management for what happened to him. But that's only his side of the story so who knows
zellsis is an instigator man 😭😭😭
I still remember him just being stuck in the middle of tarik and jasonr and having goofy reactions to their argument on stream
Probably a mix of both imo, he's responsible for handling shit the way he did but NRG management should've been there to stop him, or guide him in the right direction
the thing is NRG management is also in the hot seat right now, you can assign blame to chet yeah I'm not debating that but something had to go wrong in management for their 2024 to happen
W bonkar
can't wait to see him cook with poolchan
there were rumours about the team having motivational issues earlier but idk if this is any evidence to support that since he's basically crashing out so he could be tweeting without thinking
surely this is some inside joke aint no way bro is crashing out like that 😭😭
champs 2022, had some of my favourite teams to this day
optic
loud
fpx
drx
fnatic
all with my favourite rosters for their cores to date (except for fnatic)
and the other 3 in playoffs weren't my 'favourite' teams but I defo liked and enjoyed watching (Liquid, Lev, XSET)
idk I saw the tweet earlier and it wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened. but yeah this guy is probably baiting
you're right
ardiis has his own exclusive fan club
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-bANMNl9wI
really damn? does that have any sanction which would stop him from competing next season? that would kind of be a bummer since his stats were still really good, the talent is defo there. Also do you have a source, this is all I can find https://x.com/SnowFake769437/status/1844271921913004521
he would probably be facing 500 criminal charges, 300 civil charges and 20 class action lawsuits
