why don’t we get comments like these when everyone is shitting on Korea for being bad, for being cheaters, etc.?

like im not calling you out specifically but it is obvious there is a double standard at play here

theft and crime is a problem in every country and is not localised to the US specifically. this post is lowkey just trying to start a narrative.

Imagine this happening in another country for an event, how much would this become a thing like "stop doing events in unsafe places"...

from my memory pros were having gear stolen at LOCK//IN in brazil, sooooo it’s not just the US

and in France people were trying to steal shit from PRX

as a brazilian i am sure you would love to see an event hosted in your country again. perhaps the better decision is to increase security measures

ragebaited into potentially losing a champs spot is crazy

the league of legends version is insanely difficult what the heck, definitely points for realism lmao

fuck no stew deserves to be on a korean team competing for LANs not rotting away on a bottom tier CN team

agree

if igling on smokes is easier then just put rb on sova - francis omen

it’s not like rb hasn’t played init before

honestly i’m happy he played so well, it’s not easy to recover from a bad start. i’m just saying he reminds me of my old coworker really, i don’t actually hate the guy

rrq > ns > zeta > rrq

must be regretting his decision to leave

he has been pretty good since ewc bro, that's like over half the year

the real criminal is rb

they could also have put xross on the yoru, francis sova, and rb omen

i think solo said he wishes his players were considered or something in a post match interview

most parents would find the goal of becoming a full time esports player to be dubious. It's still a pretty niche industry.
A lot of these players had to convince their parents and put in the work to reach the spot they're in, which I think many parents would respect and support.

but yeah, agree that it is very wholesome. Sometimes I worry for them because they could also be subject to harassment and they really don't deserve any of it (stellar's dad is wilding though)

i'm not confident on sharper but ONG for sure could

i think NS have potential for a deeper run than GE but it would be really funny if GE qualify for champs after frost left

to frost:
imagine thinking ur tuff after getting out of GE and thinking u will have an easy route to champs with fullsense and now GE is finna make playoffs while fullsense rots in playins 😂. spiketalk merchant GE owns ur ass

am i allowed to talk

"endo is actually also recycled but it doesnt count because he's good at the game"

bro, endo canady and doffy have basically only played in mixes, canady has played in an academy team, the other 2 are clearly veterans of the scene. they're still young rookie talent lol, those 3 have barely any experience compared to their peers especially in sharper. just give it a rest

canady has only played on one real t2 team (and they were an academy team at that), if you're saying canady is recycled so are doffy and endo

those 3 have basically only played in mixes for their tier 2 careers

doffy, canady, and endoist aren't recycled t2 players btw

the only real t2/t1 veterans are surf and alert

yeah but i'd be worried about the young talent rookie roster than i would about the team that is consistently overrated and consistently underperforms

yeah but the sharper core have been overrated and then blown up for like the past 2 ascensions

i would rather play sharper than xipto

honestly fair enough lad

you don't understand how awful of a person my coworker was. deadass a latent psychopath who would stalk my female coworkers after hours

ofc it's not fair to xan and i wish him the best. i just get reminded of that guy every time i see him on the playercam.

he did play well but bro. i just can't look at him

😭😭😭😭 it's not xan's fault but i can't help but relive the trauma of working with that guy

LMAO i feel bad for xan but i just can't help but see my old coworker

i had a coworker who deadass looks exactly like xan

he was a real creep, harassing women and was a pervert
he also would write hateful messages online about various topics and people
he also didn't do any work and had the audacity to complain about being treated badly

i'm not lying that he looked so similar to xan that when i watch him on the playercam i'm reminded of him and it puts me in a bad mood, i can't help but hatewatch him

LMAO i know it's not fair to xan i'm sorry but bro. he looks exactly like him

dambi is just a better buzz, he will be relevant even if neon is deleted

all good, he's their second highest rated player and just below foxy rn

how do you not know xuna, he was literally the star player of that team before foxy joined and the reason varrel won split

they also choked that dfm loss btw, it should have been a clean 2-0 but akame went nuclear

took out c1nder to be a role player and made the best pickup in the offseason in tier 1 in foxy9

LFGGG

h2h

not sure if sage is a good attacking agent if you want to play defaults, better to have a traditional info sentinel like cypher kj etc

no, i'm not talking about their composure or what, i'm talking about their playstyle

i'm talking about prx specifically. something can't play neon

also because waylay and jett both have verticality in their kit unlike neon

there has been a noticeable change in prx's playstyle since getting wendler, but idk if that's because of him or what

i don't think neon is a good agent for dive on split, waylay is a lot better. jett might be better than neon too

it's hard to default with a double dive duelist comp bro

exactly

no, it'll be a 3 way tie between dfm t1 and prx, because dfm>t1>prx>dfm, at which point it'll go to map differential and stuff i think

i actually thought prx had pretty good macro on split, they just got outshot by varrel and they fumbled a few rounds

varrel will be 4-1 while every other team is 3-2 if they win bro

varrel will have h2h no?

i think prx takes every game seriously, but yeah their map picks suggest they want experience.
