It's nice to see meteors son back in tier 1!!!!!

t3xture :3

nope cned played like ass in 2022 anyone who thought navi was going to be better than 22 navi didnt have a brain

Cuz emea and na shared the arenas with league but pacific had their own arena just for val

It was inflated cuz of the streamers but it was never as bad as people make it out to be

Free win tbh

as time goes on the more we realise trembo is the truth

nah i alr knew meteor was gonna be sentinel at the time cuz he spammed it in ranked but i thought geng would do double duelist more often

Soooo happy for him. The main reason I support geng is cuz everyone treats the players like drx rejects and I'm happy them all. Still sad exy hasn't made a tier 1 tourney yet 😭

Gen is full of veterans beside karon so idt experience will be too big of an issue

Bruhhhh even off season tourneys had trophies

Not even potter can save dfm

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR SCOUTING KARON

Let me have my fun 😛

What I say

KNEW WE COULD GET TO THE TOP 1 DAY LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

3 points is absolutely needed. I expect drx and the other teams to get stronger so it's important to get the points now because champions is the final goal of every team not masters

Funny cuz his user name used to be SCREAM 1TAP

Skrossi op sova such good initiating for texture yep real helpful

In ur dreams t1 will get him next year

What a monster rookie. And he's a genuine rookie as well.

It's a shame he went to military early we could have seen him in vct much earlier

Tbh he was always him. Just been on dogshit rosters with dk and ge

3 points

It's not years ago it's like a few months 💀

Saying geng will beat navi is not a hot take navi have not been good this past year period

Zest don't speak english

People blaming foxy but he's been good just had a bad series

He was definitely not scapegoated. To this day i believe they win masters 1 2022 if rb didn't choke so hard

Prx 3-1 I'm afraid

Anyone who knows korean val knew they were a threat
I've been saying they have the best fire-power in korea for ages but everyone still underestimated them

Different people handle pressure differently

When the last time navi have beat drx btw

WHAT I SAY

Drx beat this comp but they used jett without phoenix in champs

If they rigged it they wouldn't have put the original format in the first place because they know prx and drx would come out first in their groups dumbass

Live draw = rig

What made you support geng?

And yeah I agree but the thing is there was almost no reason to retain the 2023 roster. Monyet was unsatisfied with the team and texture demanded a high salary and obv retained rossi wasn't a good idea because of his performance

Unfortunately chovy buff is too strong geng wins it flawless no maps dropped

YEAH I KNOW HAHAHA but still

Bro....xccurate was way riskier than texture he didn't play pro valorant for like a year and when he did he played in tier 2.

If you think autumn cares about region 'attention' and gaining fans instead of trying to create the best roster just get lost u don't know shit

talking about 2023 when they experimented with foxy9 on duelist
imagine current texture replaced foxy last year

i mean in terms of developing young talent we have done that

but at the end of the day, the majority of these teams are veteran talent driven and these youngbloods only really account for like 1/5th of the team

actually one of my biggest worries is the veterans becoming washed and korea having not enough young talent LOL

created an alt just for the sole purpose of shittalking me LOL

actually no i supported t1 last year i just dont like the direction they went THIS YEAR

tbh nah they didnt grind shit LOL the talent was always there we were just plagued by other regions poaching a lot of quality players

u right fam im biased as hell and im just tilted i didnt get geng vs t1 and in hindsight this thread is embarassing LMAO

not in current form, i think texture is better than buzz

and meteor > flashback imo simply because i think his carry potential is way better and on his good day i dont think anyone from drx can match him

id say foxy9 is better than lakia tho

and idk man, drxs stratbook looks pretty weak atm

but tbh i think geng can only beat drx if meteor and texture play like they have been doing, if they have average games i think they lose

tf you mean 'surely' like its a crime for me to not care about sea and jp

imo i believe that t1 gone full kr would be better, so if t1 loses ofc i will be pissed
and if you actually read what i wrote you would realise i actually agree that they look better. since they look better and prx does look weaker, i find it inexcusable for t1 to lose this one esp since t1 got so close to beating them last year

lets break down this drx superteam argument

2021: xeta was miles better than rb on initiator

2022: meteor was clear cut the best duelist in korea and drx probably wins masters 1 if he replaced rb. zest in 2022 before he showed his flex ability could be replaced by xeta and probably pre-wrist injury lakia

2023: probabaly the worst year for this 'superteam' arguement. youve got k1ng > rb on sentinel, saya was pretty damn equal with buzz, and xeta was better than stax both as an initiator and igl

if you think that drx was a superteam you just dont know the korean scene well enough.

and buddy, having saya munchkin and xeta as your core isnt 'building from scratch'. he is not a genius coach who improved this team to 3rd place. it was EXPECTED of that core. people just think they improved because t1 flopped at the start but anyone with a brain had them top 3/4 in 2023 preseason

isnt the only fact that americas doesnt have a tighter schedule is because they share the same arena with lcs

nah texture will show drx what they missed out on
