Mako revealed that years of constant pressure and criticism have left him completely exhausted, both mentally and physically
Life inevitably comes with hardships for everyone, but he has confessed that the weight of his own choices and responsibilities has become increasingly unbearable year after year.

Sorry, I listened again, and it was “used op for about two rounds.”
it does sound weird to say he brought out op in Round 2 lmao.
Right now on his stream, Meiy said that during Lotus against RRQ, a bug occurred where Op scope stopped functioning.
Meiy panicked in voice chat during match, and that because of issue, he was essentially unable to use Op on Lotus.
remained visibly furious about it even after the match.
Viewers immediately asked in chat, “Couldn’t you call a tech pause?” but he did not answer. (He was probably not given permission to do so.)
Fastest Record match.
Even though it’s a day off, I’m already bored

It’s kind of really bad—especially today, there are a lot of scenes where you’re just like, “What the hell are you doing?!”
it might even be interesting to just invade London with this formation
It’s not like I’m a PRX fan or specifically want them to win, but I have a feeling that’s what’s going to happen in London
You’ve done well in a foreign land. Once this match is over, I’ll give you a ticket back home to Singapore
Ever since this team was founded, there have been way too many players who’ve had step down temporarily or go inactive due health problems.
Seriously, what’s going on over there? Can someone explain this to me?
At this point, it feels like their office has turned into something out of Resident Evil.
Wait, I just saw today’s Americas results… is this actually pretty bad? LMAOOO
And their remaining opponents are FUR and KRU hahahahaha
even if we set bare minimum as making it playoffs international tournament, I feel like since start league, only players in this role who can truly be said to compete at that level internationally are Boaster and Boo (and Boo is already past his peak).
Watching Vitality’s recent performances has only strengthened that belief.
Honestly, what do people think? Doesn’t it feel like this role, more than any other, is seriously lacking in talent compared to other regions?
He has completely lost his mind. Everything in the post is wrong lmao
This topic that has come up many times, but while Japan may rank among top in terms of number of people who watch esports or simply enjoy games casually, unlike countries like South Korea or China, it does not have a well-developed foundation for competitive esports.
If anything has been played at a top competitive level for a long time, it would be limited to certain fighting games.
There are various perspectives, such a strong console gaming culture and relative lack of PC gaming culture, but in any case, aside from few exceptions
(like Laz and Dep, or Ta1yo, who used to play in Overwatch rather than Valorant), gap is unlikely to close anytime soon—probably not in future either.
Regarding players on EMEA teams, or those who have moved from EMEA to other regions,
it feels like many of them think Berlin is a difficult place to live (even if they don’t say it directly, for example mentioning that Los Angeles is easier to live in).
What are the main issues?
I know it’s still just the second week, but aren’t NA teams winless against BR and LATAM?
This is an even worse situation than in 2023.

Even the most talented esports people can’t overcome this curse.
He was forced to play in a position that wasn’t his own role, and after just one match, he was benched again.
Losing decisively to GE twice means they’re nothing more than a bottom-tier team now. 2026 marks the downfall of Korean teams.
P.S. - Bro, forgive me. I’m not insulting NS—they just kind of slipped my mind, haha
Sorry, but today we’re going to give N4RRATE, who ran back from America, a harsh dose of reality.
The prestigious clubs of Europe aren’t so forgiving🐴
This is from a VOD by content creator from SCARZ (JP Tier 2).
He was invited by Riot to a public viewing party for MIKS in Japan, where he had the chance to interact with upper management from Riot JP.
During that, he directly asked them to “do something about Neon’s current state.”
Riot JP’s leadership responded, "We’ve been voicing our opinions as well, but those opinions aren’t getting approved.”
He also spoke with other Riot employees, and apparently everyone internally agrees that “the current state of Neon isn’t good.”
So it seems likely that something is preventing changes or adjustments to Neon.
Trexx is scary because, unlike other toxic players, you can’t really tell on camera or on social media.
But other pro players and teams are all clearly afraid of him. It makes you wonder what he’s actually doing behind scenes
On Twitch, ads are playing as if nothing has happened, but in reality, will it actually be possible to hold the event? (Non-political topic.)
In the controversial DFM match, he was pretty normal on Abyss, but after they dropped the map and moved to Pearl, he revealed his true form LMAO
It’s said that the investment in LEC does not match its current situation.
LEC There are reports from multiple sources that while they will relocate their offline venue from Riot Arena Berlin next year, most of their matches are expected to be played online.
As for VCT, which shares the same facility, nothing is known at this point.
It seems tha LEC will be held online (according to an LCK analyst).
I’m worried about what might happen to VCT EMEA.
from the perspective of viewers in Pacific user. this Masters event felt rather underwhelming.
I think international tournaments are exciting because of the pride battles and the drama between regions.
There may have been some matchups with a high level of strategic play, but honestly, there were very few moments throughout the tournament that truly made me feel excited.
It was fortunate that crowd in Chile wasn’t as bad as the one in São Paulo.
Hopefully London will have more closely contested matches.
880K viewers.
Could this be one of the lower-viewed tournaments in its history?

They must have felt sick because of this
What happened to mada
Has anyone played it?
Apparently Tencent has stopped funding it, so the service is going to end.
The hole he jumped into led to the 100T office building.
Since it’s unfair that Chinese teams and non-Chinese teams end up with the same rating calculations, I think a special coefficient should be applied to them.
One of the teams that wanted to change the matchup transferred money into Leo Faria’s bank account
TL is the king of lower bracket, and kamo will get 100 kills and defeat the annoying Fnatic to secure a ticket to San Diego.
For now, compared to their predecessors, it feels more like a personnel replacement than a real upgrade to the team’s strength.
The ban news sent shockwaves through the competitive scene😮
Let’s take another careful look at all troll clips and report them to Riot!!!!
