great to agree then that they're the farthest thing from hk/tw tier 2 talents then LMFAO

last time yuicaw and spring played in apac was 2021

still all chinese

2 taiwan (chinese)
1 hk (chinese)
1 mainland china (chinese)

the fact that there's a world where Wolves beat EDG into submission with last year's early core is insane ngl. novel level of literary foreshadowing

probably blg. not great but not bad. just got a close win and then lost the other 2 games in typical 2025 blg fashion by crumbling under pressure

I tried to sell him fent one time but he just flexed his bicep in my face, called me a broke bitch, and had his entourage of hot models start laughing at me

SiuFatBB started aura farming and calling an absolute masterclass. it was ggs after pistol

actually imo it's the opposite. wolves are very reigned in and controlled with SiuFat's calling steering their aggression. they're very clinical when they're building momentum

everything we're seeing right now is a direct result of his pure emotions built up ever since Wolves signed the NiP core

TMV's been a believer for waaaaay longer so he's accumulated more juju

Macau counts

rrq above wolves after what we've seen is absolutely troll

true but have you considered that they look like absolute gods whenever the overpush works

grand finals preview 🤫

TEC with Luke going 1-20 eats them alive

read the second thing you said again but slowly

i wouldn't be ready either if one of our consistently great teammates got fucking deleted after fans started shitting on him out of completely nowhere and we were forced to play with one of the few players available with a valid visa who also can't speak our primary comm language

MY GOATS WILL BRING LPL THEIR SOUGHT AFTER TROPHY

that and comments about women. forgot to put both of that there lol

YOU got accounts banned on faceit
matchfixed before franchising
did his time for both
EDG fans got mad after a lot of them dug up the old articles & rulings
YOU stepped down after fans pressured XLG to suspend him

"I'm not disappointed. I just didn't think it'd be Wolves"

comparing them to zeta implies this is a fluke.
shut the FUCK up
#WOLVESWIN

let him have this one

either WOL rips RRQ apart or they get beat into submission by raidboss Jemkin
feels like a game where a stomp is guaranteed to happen regardless

then switch up on my day 1's

Team horrible really thought they'd win against Wolves with bot, minibot bendoverfishy freens and w00t

former r6 pro* (maybe a winner i can't recall)
there was a stir after he was trialing, but nothing new from what i can see has come out of it. tbf it could be confirmed by now since i haven't actually been paying attention to high profile leaks in a long while (decided I'm just gonna wait for whatever XYLITOL_WU says eventually lol)

i think hvoya, fayde, and bail are all just ahead of the curve when it comes to systems. 24k, destroyer, and After are all clearly competent and provide value.
AG are either gonna keep XiYiJi in or put someone else. the young talent they sometimes talk about still hasn't been revealed. lineup is Spitfires, deLb, K1ra, Bai, and whoever they decide to have be the 5th

Mr. Coinflip

i agree but their success is more that fayde hvoya and bail are all extremely well suited tbf. the systems that all of those coaches have implemented have been clearly working wonders. hvoya was COMPETING in tier 2 germany literally months before XLG picked him up 😭. literally all 3 of these org's scouting must be studied

*whzy rushia and friends

fr back then the only thing ppl gave the whole pacific/china scrim dynamic was that they could freely practice strats. the ONLY teams ppl saw as elite back then was DRX and PRX😭

the great leap forward is happening as we speak. before they were a bunch of men shooting with hype and aura but they're getting more organized and advancing
on OUR lives the chinese century of valorant is upon us 🔴🔴🔴🔴

only situation where they win is if they get over their mental block. even domestically they have a tendency to throw away leads and make games close for no reason. they have strong enough firepower to be top 3 in the tourney, but their ability to completely toss away maps in the most monumentally infuriating way possible holds them back

compare the fundamentals from split 2 last year to now. It's night and day
once the coaching staff who actually know wtf they're doing solidify in tier 1 and get their systems more bolted down we'll see more noticeable improvements

The improvements CN has made since 2024 alone is incomparable tbh. The floor's much higher all around with some major exceptions (everyone knows who). Everyone's too caught up on sizing the other cn teams up with EDG as the measuring stick and ignoring the large collection of little things that the middle-pack and other high-level domestic teams have accomplished

An EMEA team getting eliminated by the chinese esports branch of an English PL team would be peak cinema

domestic farmer

STOP JINXING PLEASE. PLEASE STOP

such shameless alting all i can do is shake my head in disappointment

holy nothing burger essay. stopped reading after "whatever"

yeah it does, but progress is progress & this shows they're getting results. hopefully this win shreds the mental block they always get when they get round leads lol. maybe if ppl stop seeing whiffs & egregious calls when they're too close to the sun they'll get the respect they lack atm

alr. i'm chilling

ever since the offseason and Bail's rebuild effort the team's only been getting more drilled and sensible. i only see a bright future ahead for this core tbh

first international win that they've had in almost 2 entire years and it was off the back of two rookies debuting from their academy. Rushia shaping to be next up on controller

bro's name is burgerman23 and you fully expect him NOT to hate on China?

yet another hynix w for securing APAC another trophy

i'ma touch you

give reasons (full bias allowed)
