lacking experience on tactical fps so will take time for them to catch up. would be nice if they could import experienced coaches then hire translator or just give english lessons to the players. honestly curious how jp players like sugarzero and laz would perform in internatl teams if they can speak english.

ardiis was on a mission lol

if they get mistic too then they at least have a core of 3 instead of a complete rebuild, which is a good thing? maybe they will struggle less with chemistry issues. but next season is looking to be raze meta, im not very sold who will play raze in the team

lots of esports orgs are owned/started by people related to gaming or at least passionate about gaming. an investment group took over eg whose only priority is to fatten their linked in profiles

this is what happens when some corporate shit who knows nothing about esports takes over.

astra meta is boring to watch. chamber meta is fun to watch but playing ranked is not fun.

wow flyuh not in franchise. both very good orgs but also meant less orgs in t2

is he igl?

just farming, keeping the off season alive

what do jp generally think of foreign players playing for a jp team?

bleed pog

nice

george guesses

no, they were trolling

considering teams no longer needed a 6th, or maybe its just 6th in name

there is some truth to that lol

lcq was their most important game the entire year, literally decides what happens to the team. they had better results with a different igl, the coach wanted zeish to continue as igl, yet they (or maybe he, if it was solely his decision) gambled their champ slot on a system that didnt pay off during the season.

in general i think people gave him a chance to prove himself or improve as igl. but during the season, the team drove themselves to the wall and got a little bit of hope towards the end when he finally let another took the igl role, you would think theyd build on that during lcq but holy smokes

orgs are just media companies

good lad, hope he finds a team
o7

fell off for real

maybe not much offers for him

i blame sliggy for showing mini a less stressful path while still being involved in esports lmao. best of luck!

stipend and teams play on lan

tbf g2 would have been in the league if not for the controversy, and not as a “guest” slot.
thats the story of franchising anyway, its the org power, whichever org has deep pockets and ok fanbase.

man accomplished his mission in na lol
looking forward to the ange1 ardiis banters

rich org dw

pog content

wtf

kc having more budget koi wow
i feel like sayf wouldnt go to na, but koi with trexx is his best option in emea, money talks aside

after the turtle troop ghosting idk

so mixwell retires possibly?

its different when a bunch of randoms in vlr search for stats and flame players vs an analyst (?). w fns boaster

this is devastating
rip

if everyone is studying how you play, there is more pressure to do well and create new stuff even if the past strats are working fine. they got back to back wins so thats cool.

100T on top overall
talon, bbl for pacific and emea.

lev maybe but lcq wasnt that bad.

big W tbh

m80 with the guard roster is fine imo. as much as i like m80 and their roster and think they deserved to win just as much as the guard, the fact is they lost fair and square and letting them in when the guard roster is in shambles just invalidates that whole tournament. letting m80 in just to complete the 11 teams in region while the guard roster is probably distributed to other teams isnt fair to them, cos the scenario should have been guard roster getting in and m80 roster picked apart

riot literally said theyre gonna cancel the season instead and go on with worlds without lcs, what impact would a different timing do?

ive seen this in na lcs and didnt exactly work well lmao

in the first 10 partnered teams i get that the org has all the power instead of players, but in ascension where it all depends on the skill of the team, doesnt make sense for the spot not to be owned by the players. org can fck them last minute and all hard work gone to waste.

i get what hes saying but its not like it was the players choice that their org fcked them up, so why are the players getting punished? surely there should be something to protect players who worked all year for this.

i see, ty for your service

sayf probably the best tl player this year. but if chemistry is not there then understandable to make changes

fnc rumors seem troll

barbarr stays and kolda leaves? thought they were a pair

yes

investors, crypto, betting 👍
brand sponsors and merch too a little

good decision from the org finally, hopefully no more full french bs and player run teams

na been winning the off season fuckery

still many months before 2024 and rito cant wait for the players to find another org icant
