I've stated this many times, but I can say it again. I don't do in-depth analyses. I give previews of series and provide brief information about the teams, including who is the favorites to win and whatnot.

I don't think I was close, but thanks nonetheless! ❤️

CN Kickoff Group B Elimination: JD Gaming vs All Gamers

JDG Brief Information: ⅘ Rare Atom core plus jkuro. Didn’t play to standards against TEC, failing to take a single map. Some moments felt very uncoordinated and irrational from them, and unless they fix their mistakes things might go very wrong for this highly-regarded core.

AG Brief Information: A newly formed team that put up a decent fight against DRG. They were alright. Once again, several good ideas and moments of brilliance but ultimately failed to show anything too important to talk about imo.

JDG Players to Watch: stew is one to watch but jkuro should also continue to be observed to see just how he does.

AG Players to Watch: bunt and monk played quite well.

Prediction: JDG should be favorites and win. By how much I don’t know but they should probably be winning this. AG has a chance though.

Honestly, I should've seen it coming, because TEC core did take out a semi-strong BLG within just 1 month of getting together. I still think that JDG stood a very good chance before the series began and probably should've played better.

I appreciate it rainvindce123, I try my best 💪

What about meteorites?

As is with all sports tbf.

I'll take your word 🤗

Minor mistake, but on the 5th to last paragraph, TYLOO is mentioned instead of NOVA.

Susanto

State sponsored or not, esports + sports is quite popular in Russia, and such an event will definitely be a fun addition to the Russian life.

Pasta! 😋

If I go to Australia for Uni in the future then I'll make sure to try.

I think I've visited the north once when I was a small child. I haven't been there since so I haven't been able to evaluate the food there with my current standards :(

He was on Breach. Maybe he's destined for duelist...

CN Kickoff Group A Elimination: NOVA Esports vs TYLOO

NOVA Brief Information: NOVA surprised me and probably a lot of other people. They weren’t completely garbage as many had anticipated and actually showed some moments of brilliance. Very cool strats from 24K.

TYL Brief Information: First game jitters or whatever, but they got demolished hard by TE. Had some ideas here and there but failed to make any significant plays. This might be the end of the line for TYL.

NOVA Players to Watch: GuanG wick is going to GuanG all over the place.

TYL Players to Watch: Not a single one of the players stood out to me. Ig just look out for alphabet bro again.

Prediction: NOVA could actually take this 2-0 if TYLOO does what they did again.

CN Kickoff Group A: Trace Esports vs Funplus Phoenix

TE Brief Information: Produced a dominant Ascent and demolished TYLOO on Sunset. They had several good trap plays and have reinforced their stature as one of the top CN teams.

FPX Brief Information: NOVA gave them a run for their money but they came out victorious in the end. Autumn played duelist on both maps and Life moved to play the Chamber. Lysoar was great on Lotus and AAAAY tried the Gekko again (it was alright).

TE Players to Watch: FengF is always interesting to watch, he’s a great player. Kai continued to be hyper aggressive (which proved to be good in some situations).

FPX Players to Watch: AAAAY is great, I also liked what Lysoar showed against NOVA especially on Lotus.

Prediction: FPX should look to take this 2-1 but I'm expecting a highly competitive series.

Barcelona for tapas and Valencia for paella 😋

Spanish food is so underrated imo. Favorite dishes have to be paella and tapas (too many good ones to name).

German food is very interesting imo. Big fan of Schweinshaxe and Currywurst, sauerkraut is also pretty nice but I know many people who dislike it. Only bone to pick with it is how salty some of the dishes can be.

As for Vietnamese food, I've never had it in the country itself but I've been to some "authentic" restaurants recommended by local Vietnamese people in Paris. Quite refreshing to say the least. Rice paper rolls are amazing.

For sure.

It really wasn't a competition at all

It only gets harder from here, but thanks nonetheless!

It's meant to annoy casters

TYLOO had some good ideas but failed to capitalize on anything tbh. Lots of jitters and they were quite nervous. Hopefully this changes in the future but props to TE for being great.

Best Skin - PRX
Wost Player Card - ZETA

ZETA is getting barbecued

I'll buy the TL one (and maybe a CN one) within half a year

That's why it's the most entertaining region!

I'd probably rank my favorite foods/cuisines:

Chinese
Italian
Japanese/Thai
Spanish
French/German/Viet

Never really tried Indian

Production value in China is insane🔥

But then they can't have neveR...

I think FPX/DRG card is going to go hard. Also, istg if JDG has that dog thingamajig...

The font throws me off.

I look forward to any conversations we may have Congo1!

Yeah I haven't been very active as of late... Still here though!

Unfortunately Spring will probably get Duelist duty...

Masters Columbus would be wild

Yeah I'd place them higher but I haven't seen them play after roster changes.

I am sixteen years old.

Happy birthday Obelisk! May your 19th year be filled with nice things. 🥳

Yeah, Rito wouldn't host a LAN in Somalia anyways.

I think the US of A is definitely worth visiting. It really cleared up/confirmed a bunch of conceptions I had about the country prior to my visit.
The Masters locations this year are also worth visiting. Both Madrid and Shanghai are really nice cities.

Are you implying that the United States of America and Turkey aren't worth visiting?

China production should be pretty neat

That would be absolutely atrocious.

It's nothing, really.

Yeah, perhaps you're right.

Yeah from what others are saying that's what it seems.

Thank you

Definitely check out 91 Days, I could write an entire essay on it regarding deep philosophical questions.
