sadge...they might still have been alive if VCT KR didn't have that shitty single elim bracket

HAHA i dont think DRX will win personally. I've been burnt by them before.

I think ScreaM isn't going to get it because Liquid are still new with this roster and coach. They can't beat teams with established synergy and comfort like OpTic or LOUD, etc.

i have heard this before actually

its ok WOWMAN next time bro :)

Bang also

I'd like to disagree. I don't think anybody thinks it was unfair, or undeserved, or anything. Everybody could tell that FPX, as 2nd seed, being matched up against 1st seed DRX was a logical decision. It was an unlucky draw but nobody was questioning the validity of it - so it's not a complaint to Riot, hardly even a complaint at all. Even indirectly - the indirect assumption doesn't really have any basis since after reading every single comment none of them really qualify as "indirect" complaints - unless you would like to specify certain ones to disprove my point?

Perhaps you see it differently.

Everyone was complaining to Riot that it was an unfair decision to put DRX and FPX right at the start

I just think it's disingenuous and paints a bad and untrue picture of people. this like blatantly false. everyone was either saying "hopium DRX win", "rip DRX nt", or "FPX win". Nobody was complaining or saying it was unfair at all.

gotcha gotcha

can't find anyone complaining to Riot

ahh

I thought winner of XSET vs OpTic goes UBF, secures Top 4 min.
Loser drops to LR2, where they can be knocked out immediately if they go 0-2

actually NA is guaranteed Top 4 no?

wdym guys just got a 500hz monitor

idk about that, it's a fair decision because fpx were 2nd seed. i never read any comment like that

same. pluto_rex would be the hero of drx fans if he does

bro the majority of us thought drx would get stomped by FPX lol

DONT JINX IT BRO

i aim to please

aged well

2 of those 3 EMEA teams got sent down there 0-2

damn

you're talking about wanting to see how antistrats/counterstrats come into play when playing pearl, when arguably right now it's the most pure gameplay versing each other and seeing which region just plays the map better, instead of which region antistrats better. I think this is a better way of seeing which region just plays the map better.

wdym when it matters
this is the tournament where knowing how pearl works better than any other team gives you a massive advantage

arguably this is when it matters the most

ok. rank up.

I am a huge Shao fan but you cant hate Boaster or ScreaM

mind break

was gonna say this LMFAO

group of death too

guy did the Ghibli OSTs? Say less fam

one of the GOAT composers - his works are modern classics.

I don't even like anime.

true

아으 달아~ 듀렉스 제발 4등까지는 가자

we'll see, LOUD are very stronk team

By that point they've secured Top 4 so tbh I wouldn't mind

Most Asian fans always banded together at International events. I always liked that about us - where EMEA fans would start infighting, or LATAM/BR fans had lots of internal arguments even amongst pros, it was Asian reps who were friendly with each other and close with each other.

PRX cultivated some arrogance amongst a few SEA fans and they started to look down on us and JP fans, which was disappointing to see. Hope things return to the way they were, with DRX/ZETA/PRX fans (and hopefully EDG too) banding together and sticking it out for the good of Asia as a whole.

i think everyone shows support in their own way, and not everyone has to be like you to be a true loyal fan.

No true Scotsman, or appeal to purity, is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect their universal generalization from a falsifying counterexample by excluding the counterexample improperly.[1][2][3] Rather than abandoning the falsified universal generalization or providing evidence that would disqualify the falsifying counterexample, a slightly modified generalization is constructed ad-hoc to definitionally exclude the undesirable specific case and counterexamples like it by appeal to rhetoric.[4] This rhetoric takes the form of emotionally charged but nonsubstantive purity platitudes such as "true", "pure", "genuine", "authentic", "real", etc.[2][5]

you also don't know whether those guys would keep the damwon flair or not. plus with how flairs work on vlr you can only put on one flair. maybe some people prefer different flairs to others. as long as they are still supporting those teams why should the flair itself matter?

tarik and stewie duh

why would someone put DRX flairs on during LCQ lol, they're not even in the tournament

they changed flairs to support damwon/northeption/LCQ teams, not because they lost faith in DRX lol.

DRX is literally the only KR team that can do serious damage at international tourneys what other team are they gonna jump to

you got it sir

same tbh

I love you guys :')

We can bomb out 0-2, doesn't matter. Top 8 Champs as Asia's last rep, defeating defending champs 2-0, they've already done so much. Their mental looks good, the players look good, hopefully they beat LOUD but we all know how good LOUD is. Either way, I love you guys - was a great year being a DRX fan with you lot.

true, and both Masters you could see DRX look shaky first map of playoffs, but this tourney it looks the opposite. DRX just look stronger and stronger.

HOPIUM BRO LOUD STILL GOOD TEAM

DRX MUST beat LOUD in order to secure Top 4 finish. Beating FPX means nothing if they once again bomb out and go 0-2.

However, this is definitely a better version of DRX that looks good mentally. So WHO KNOWS???

I'm beginning to believe again...

wtf was that how did they do it im going fkn crazy rn

It means they are unbiased

drx=DragonX

the team he supports and likes isnt in the tourney
