Let me explain it to you in kindergarden terms so you can finally get it:

Ze1sh can't be the weak link of the Karmine Corp active player roster
because
Ze1sh isn't a part of the Karmine Corp active player roster

The whole point of the weak link is who gets the boot. Why are you wasting energy about ze1sh having to get the boot when everybody knows that he is going to get the boot once the season is over. He is not a signed PLAYER. He is a signed ANALYST. Jesus Christ. That's like judging Zews's performance for when he stepped in for Luminosity. He's not a sub, he's an analyst and they didn't have anybody else, it could've been the KC ceo for all you know. If Nadeshot had to step in for 100T because 2 players broke their hands, would you be sitting here analysing his gameplay and wasting your god damn energy on it? Get a fucking grip, seriously.

MMO?

He is their analyst/coach. He's not supposed to be playing on the server and he won't be, he'll be moved back to his old position once they find a suitable replacement for newzera. Judging his performances is useless, because you know he's not gonna stay either way. How the fuck am I having to explain this 50 times over???

no, what im saying is that he is already going to leave the team once they find a newzera replacement. No point assessing his skill/impact, he's there temporarily.

TL win? That's bold.

ze1sh is only standing in. He is actually their analyst, not supposed to be there either way. (henceforth the low elo mechanics)

Xddd
Val players don't achieve things in CSGO. It's the other way around.

Bench:
Sheydos, trexx, nothing, cloud

What does it mean to be Brazilian? Speaking the same language? Because the Portuguese and Macau ppl also do that. Also, Americans speak the same language that the UK, Australia, South Africa and many more nations speak.

No, you literally said we're "missing that amazing rush, that feeling of total fulfillment because we will never get to see a 'guess the rank' video in our native language"

Miserable lmfao

Koi: wolfen + starxo
Giants: fitinho
FUT: nobody, they are all evenly rated
KC: zeish, xms
TH: everybody except zeek

"my life is not miserable"
"having Brazilian valorant content creators is something to be proud of"

If you think that's something to be proud of, you don't have many things to be proud of in your life.

" there will never be any famous Greek streamer who speaks Greek"

smh + ratio

generally when you think of sports it's impossible to think about nationalism but i guess you have nothing personal to be proud of in your miserable life so you can only find refuge in what other people that just live next to you have achieved

So when you watch esports... you think about countries? Is this ww2? Check your wires mate

Didn't see you asking Canadians if they feel that way. Argentinians?

Also, you're talking about cultural affinity without recognizing that NA and SA are a melting pot of different cultures. In Brazil you have africans/romani/hispanics/native americans. In NA they have Asians/africans/literally people from all over the world with no cultural affinity to one another.

Thirdly, to answer your ultra racist region-baiting question: We're not racist, we don't judge/like people based on the color of their skin/culture/nationality but by the merits of their character.

NA is not a country, not a nation. What are you even baffling about.

translation: why are you guys not nationalist?

that is only government regulation on raising local talent not about "having players to cheer for" lmfao

they are the entry?

not til this had I realized the irony of Fiance and Finance being two words that are so comically similar.

the game that birthed esports.
Man that's a stretch. Learn your history. Brood was only important in Korea.

4/6 aren't even majors what are you even getting at. Can't even put an argument together.

And that was all the hype of waiting for 6 months + biggest tournament ever + 30 franchise teams + franchising + 20 new debutting rosters. It's declining real hard. And you'll see in tokyo, it will be even less.

starcraft: brood war is more dead than my 3 eldest relatives. "Survived" is a reach. It was barely hanging on for an entire decade.

"Valorant has never been super popular in europe" Literally the biggest region, always has been.

Crossfire is a meme. Now I see why you like Valorant being a clownfest so much.

"As for the viewership, it's fine" It's not. The more time passes, the viewership gets lower. And with CS2 coming, it will cut it down to half. And more time passes, and another hype FPS game comes and takes the NA fanbase.

No eSport has ever survived or been taken seriously without the west. And valorant is already dying in EMEA/LATAM/BR. It's dead in CIS. Literally the last bastion of Western Valorant is NA, and they are very quick to abandon games. Once NA leaves, which is inevitable because they always do that, we'll be singing kumbayah.

The viewership is constantly declining, the eSport cannot survive without content creators producing clout, franchising literally killed tier2 in half of the world. The integrity is that of a clown show and all those combined will result in EMEA literally leaving the game. And tell me one popular esport that EMEA is not a part of. Omegalulwatch? Mobile games?

boohoo cry me a river, at least I don't have to pluck my fucking eyes out watching dogshit teams. If that's your taste, it's your problem, go watch FGC.

Thanks for admitting Riot cares about marketing/money/outreach over competitive integrity (and before you say "oh it's a company what'd you expect", i'd like to remind you that they are incredibly profitable and are just fucking greedy). Thanks for admitting Val esports is a fucking circus too, just clout and nothing else. That's why Val is dying, because FPS players actually give a fuck about competitive integrity. Viewership will continue to decline as long as Riot think this is some sort of WWE type of event.

Difference is South America is hard diffing them right now, so they can't complain. It's ACTUALLY FAIR.

An open letter to all Tenz fans,

Please quit Valorant. Quit eSports for good. I hate interacting with you on forums, you're insufferable. Please leave.

No, it's because competition sucked.

You're fucking deluded if you think CS has any nepotism. It's actually the most deserving teams around the world, and most of them are western. If Asia wasn't dogshit in CS, they'd get more slots.

If anything, nepotism exists in Valorant, when China with 0 achievements, gets as many spots as EMEA, simply because Riot is owned by Tencent. That's fucking nepotism and you better learn the meaning of the word.

How is it wrong? Are you implying he wouldn't LIKE for fnatic to win? Do you know what he would like more than him?

At 70+ hours you'll start hallucinating really hard. It's like you'll be on acid, except without the mental clarity. It's like you're on acid + weed.

All of the above. I also liked the clone wars as a star wars fan.

No, everybody gets what they deserve. You can't compromise competitive integrity in the name of diversity and inclusivity. Not in sports. Because sports stand for excellence in a skill, not for representation of countries, demographics.

Truly equal opportunity is when the best of the best get to play. You can't just get a free ticket to top competition, because that means you took that ticket from another more deserving player or team. It's outright discriminatory.

Yes, actually. You just think they work hard because they have 10% representation in a game with 40% of the player base. They just have a large talent pool, if you take any other esport, that they don't just overpower you with unlimited talent, they are poodoo. Dota/CS/r6/StarCraft/

Yes, they don't have the tac-fps infastructure and know-how. They don't know how to work on this game. Look at what Denmark has built, they're invincible in eSports with just 1/10000th the population.

Stop being deceived by LoL, they have 5 times the population of any other shard. By far the biggest talent pool to choose from, and still dominated by Koreans, because they are, let's be honest. In other games, where they don't have a huge talent pool advantage, they're exposed even further. And now that they have the underage gaming laws, you won't see China eSports in the way you used to.

I wasn't talking about Valorant. In CSGO Asia was given plenty of chances, and they fumbled them. China can't even compete with mongolian with 1/5000th of the playerbase. It's not about representation, it's about work-ethic, and Asia never had it in CSGO (and they don't have it in Valorant either, they have the biggest playerbase and they are the worst region).

depends on what they need. both logan and enzo are igls.

maybe this new Jett meta actually helps deffo. But I don't think he was ever a top duelist.

i don't think it happens in my elo. Never seen it at least.

nt danji

omegalul, even if you had vitality play vs 31 asia teams, they'd beat everybody without dropping a map. #53

Nah fam, Asia hasn't reached playoffs once in their history. They don't deserve it. If they had more spots all you'd see is some terrible low elo games and more teams getting 0-3d. You SEA people are really delusional and self-entitled thinking you deserve the representation.

Back to krunker.io?

like... everything

is that a thing? people date in valorant? ffs what has the world come to

obviously i meant "bench" for zeish as in back to analyst position. I was speaking in terms of the CURRENT 5man of KC.
