The disrespect to YHchen is insane, do people not see how insane his supportive utility is? He is topping the lobby on assists consistently, even when they went international his assists were insane.

Ontop of just straight up assists he is such a gap filler, alll 4 players will forget to check a corner, except him, things that dont appear on the stats like him playing his life at switch map 1 every time allowing teammates in garden and site to get a bunch of kills, delaying with the molly and knife in tree. Next time ASE play just pay attention to how he plays and how good he is at supporting and setting up the rest of the team is, if you do and still think monk/bunt are better choices u gotta be smoking something.

ASE have so much potential imo, if Life can play a little tighter with his team while entering sites as jet, and lean into the operator more, and Zero1 can improve his individual decision making, then this team can be competitive tbh.

if one google is following a life closely what do u define jumping from thread to thread to defend your favourite pc gamer pro team who you only like because they happen to be born on the same dirt as you and happen to be doing well as u hop on the bandwagon for a team of players no one gave a shit about for 2 years? something about a pot and a kettle no?

take out "region that got the game a month ago" and replace it with "region thats been underdeveloped in FPS forever, has virtually no presence from experienced veterans to be IGLs and coaches, had no support and couldnt attend more international events than events they have attended to this day, have had no ability to play on less than 200 ping for half the region and where talent development has been hampered by the fact that they literally had to vpn to play the game", the latter was really just an microcosmic example to show the lack of experience the region has as a whole.

theyve had the game but the region hasnt, they havent been able to attend a tier 1 competition for 2 years, half the region cant just "play on korean servers" and get valuable experience since shanghai is like 250 ping to korea, thats not including the fact practice and mickeymouse's arent a crumb of the valuable experience that NA has gotten for example. the sentiment is the same, as a region they are a newborn.

fnatic either stomp as they should do with that roster or they throw and we see some atrocious valorant out of them like we did vs Loud, either way its almost as snooze as the 437th repeat of the china regional match we get tomorrow as well.

the guy has been competing in professional esports across OW and Val for almost 6 years and his crowing achievement in that time is coming 2nd to fnatic a single time after 2 years of mediocrity, ofc hes gonna get shit on for running his mouth, bro has achieved the same amount of professional success as magnum and doma.

after achieving his crown jewel of being a post-it note in fnatic's story he has opted to exclusively punch down, being dead silent to teams with the level of experience and instead exclusively targeting low seed teams and a region that got the game a month ago. ofc its hes gonna get shit on for being so loud on camera but as silent as a whimper in the server for 6 years straight.

im sure "gentlemates" will do great in tier1! they definitely dont have a t8 peak on the horizon next year!

NA DEAD SILENT LAMOOOOOO, UR BEST TEAM GOT MANHANDLED MAP 1 AND NARROWLY WON THEIR BEST MAP, HOW DO U PLAN ON WINNING WHEN FNC HAVE 2 VETOS???? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yeah idk, PRX have already shown they have 0 chance of beating FNC and that probably extends to EG too based on how similar their teams and form are, unless they get something back they will probably lose to NRG if not definetly lose to FNC/EG so rooting for them to win is pointless, ig the fnatic 2peat is the last interesting storyline unless ur banking on another NA slot

both teams were entirely in control of their own fate, EDG absolutely dominated PRX map 1, if they stacked ults they just win the map easily and then go on to do one of the easiest 2-0s of the tournament. just a lack of experience
