Wow, Mibr spent to get a big budget team with Aspas to get selected as Partner team . Then they immediately go budget after get selected as Partner.

I doubt Riot will allow it. NA is already oversaturated with orgs wanting to be partnered. I think it is very likely that G2 will be partnered. If they give half of the NA spots to EU(G2) and BR based orgs, the NA based orgs will be furious. I suspect many NA orgs will quit due to this.

Mibr should stay in BR and pick up Less and Spike.(If G2 can poach Sato, Mibr should be able to throw money to get Spike)

This one is much better than the last one

Valorant is much more popular than cd in China.

beginning of this year. They have 4 great fragger, i had a feeling they are going to do great. I was disappointed to their kickoff and split1. Good thing they live up to their aim at the end.

let's go Tyloo 3-1

Yes, ublock origin alone is worth it

lots of streamers and pros talk on his ranked teammates

Verno is not going to leave his boyfriend

I counted it wrong...

Lysoar needs to wake up.

Your headline is wrong too. It is Champion Shanghai not master.

G2 2-1

This match start time is 11pm for US eastern time zone. so late

Aspas entry again, MIBR 3-1

Lakia of Valorant strike again

this is a pretty shameless way to try to avoid 0-13

Happy birthday

FPX is the best team in China per Platchat ranking btw

20 6 hahahahahahahaha

poor autumn

what happened to vo0kashu?

If Vit lose this match, then both BBL and FUT have H2H again Vit. Vit is eliminated from playoff if they lose this match.

I was wrong on Vit vs Fut

Turkey Hunger game

I don't think that is true. They should be able to play matches against ascension teams to stay in the league if they make playoff in the league, unless emea rules are different.

Do they both get relegated?

and Cryocells

I don't think he got scapegoated, he has been shooting badly this year other than his last game.

You are right, i see it now.

Isn't he +8 this match?

Where is Corey?

Brazilian Butt Life team is going to have their butt lift up by Aspas

You are assuming all players want to try hard constantly instead of enjoying easy money. Pancada took a half year break this year when Sentinel was willing let to transfer to another team for free. He claimed to sick while his inst was showing lots of party photos until other point it out.

There is a player on Vitality LOL team who is doing the samething for 1.5 years enjoying fat contract. He also stream sometimes for additional money.

1. Long term contract pays more than short term contract.

2. Long term contract protect the players more if they don't perform as expected.

LETSGO

Riot only has limited Esport budget. The only way they can fund T2 is by taking money away T1 to fund T2.

No, they needed EG to beat MIBR to get a 3 way tie.

I think JDG are already in playoff. If they lose last match, there will be at least 4 teams tie at 4 wins. They have 39 rounds lead over the next best 4 win team(DRG), so they will win the tie breaker even if they lose 0-26.

OCE is far away

Lots of Valorant pro players, and pro scene personality white list VLR on their ad block. The ADs are what keep the website alive.

Basketball

I traveled to watch OWL matches before. The experience was kinda meh. I have a better experience watching Esports games in a watch party stream.

I watch every 2nd match of the day. I live in Boston. The 2nd match start time is around my wake up hour anyway.

Loud needs a new duelist

Interesting, this is the playoff decider match for the 2 EMEA Madrid team.

EDG, JDG, BLG, WBG, TES, FPX, LNG are guarantee to make it, they are the most popular org in China and all have great financial with stronger ownership.

RNG is most likely to not make it due both the owner and the org are in bad financial situation.

I think RA is most likely to make it. They have pretty good financial, compete in multiple game, and decently popular. They are one size down on everything from the big 7, but they have a competitive Val team.

Is the matchup correct? These 2 teams are in the same group during group stage.

I always feel FPX players have worse mechanical aim on average compare other top chinese teams. I know FPX keep proving me wrong since they always have pocket weird strategy to surprised other teams, maybe this is their thing. I still think ASE will overtake them this time.

I think you mean Challenger.

I have a higher hope for Leave. Decision making is very important in Val, I have always think Leave has top decision making among OWL players. Though Leave's aim is a bit worse than shy, but his aim is very high level none of less. I also think he will master a bigger agent pools.
