wolves weren't playing well but AG played good enough to absolutely roll them which makes them at least decent. imo their fundamentals + strat book were pretty deep on bind all things considered. I think the coaching staff are going the approach their crossfire team does and develop individual maps as their own piece
they're historically shit at converting advantages and set-plays earlier in the season but now their overall fundamentals (on their good maps at least) look extremely drilled. they're never actually giving singular fights
as long as hanche isn't going 4/20 on primary duelist i'll tolerate his existence until he proves his worth. they seem to have been developing his anchoring so maybe putting him on a more relaxed position is the play
franchising slots are dependent on clout, investment, financial ability, and (probably) management competence. if an org doesn't have an interest in these things or can't then they'll get relegated in favor of another org who can
best for americas. 9/11 for everyone else
EMEA doesn't win a trophy
Pacific record stops
Depending on how the tournament goes the Ch0na agenda still continues
any genre any artist pls just post bangers
i'm still gonna die on the hill that his neon iso ideas were legit cooking but because they pivoted off of it it never saw the proper light it should've gotten
muggle WOULD be up there if the KangKang yoru incident didn't occur
BLG's 2-1 terrorist activities automatically disqualifies them from any serious international conversations
all this tourney proved was that blg are still the biggest international terrorists for chinese fans. one round they play a masterclass and the next 3 they run it down 1v5 and waste our time with a 1-2
Bunt got bought out by ccg forgot to mention that like a billion years ago
blinded by happiness and euphoria, the Karmine Corp fans all benevolently choose to destroy the arena instead of tearing apart the RIOT staff limb from limb
he's is literally the most inconsistent member on that team. even more than levius and he's a fucking tier 1 ROOKIE
champs finals mvp with bo5 international kill record vs. guy who beat the champs finals mvp with b05 international kill record
the answer is obvious: tvirusluke
T1 wouldn't even get 5 rounds total against FPX (AAAAY shits on them in every aim duel)
either a direct buyout or a transfer deal. sometimes other orgs swoop in after an academy prospect's contract ends too
K1ra. best player mechanically on AG and the biggest standout last split by a mile
still holding out hope for a win 🙏
Late but their sunset looked extremely solid and they look like they understand how to play it at least at a basic level. XLG played horribly in it but they showed a lot of promising stuff with the prep. Unfortunately it's probably the furthest they've progressed in terms of their map pool since their Lotus and Ascent were tragic. There are some clear signs of good fundamental play though, and all of the players are clear mechanical upgrades over the split 1 lineup (H0nche back to Q9). xiyiji's performance was honestly better than expected and his util's pretty solid. shr1mp and spitfires are doing as expected and providing value. deLb and K1ra show why they're the remaining core. things could be better but they could also be much worse. can only hope that the coaching staff can help progress the team to not being bottom barrel by the end of the season and show signs of life
mechanical outlier from their academy system. literally averages 300 acs a game atp
shr1mp afaik
might be deLb but istg he's 2nd caller
China is a big academy-focused region so we'll probably not see the full extent of the depth until after this season. There are a lot of young mechanical demons being cooked in the lab
that's hindsight talking. AG was good last year because of EGO and Sword9's system. let's not pretend like they were actually decent before stage 1 was nearing playoffs. i would say the individual player quality has actually gotten better because they have k1ra. the coaching took a nosedive because their head coach literally resigned after only a month. hanche was dogshit and player + bai were meh but K1ra's inclusion is a massive asset
i mean spitfires was sent to the academy and is only back because no one took the buyout. he's gotten much better mechanically since then. deLb is a fluent mandarin speaking import with extensive indonesian tier 2 experience so yeah they're not letting him go unless he drops consistent mediocre numbers
k1ra with one hand, blind, and chronic diarrhea still has more value than that omen tping terrorist on GX last year
roster will be xiyiji k1ra deLb spitfires and shr1mp.
holy upgrade
you'd be surprised with how much faith scrim merchants get. Hanche is the biggest example in cn with AG 💀
they are a hyper budget org that mainly invests in extremely good coaching talent in other games. they're giants in mobile esports and crossfire so they are extremely rich anyways on top of selling their extensive list of academy players for big profits. there are like 3 different academy teams operating in crossfire at one time
"Berlin now trying to go for a tp plAAAAY! WHAT HE HITS THE HEADSHOT ONTO LAKIA! Karon DEAD! Berlin, he's just annihilating them. Has to go for the reload, the rightclicks not really connecting. Meteor, still relatively healthy but now may be the last man standing. And Berlin will get it done--WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT!? WHO DOES THAT WHO TP'S UP THERE!?"
just 1 win will be a success for this year with all the shit that's happened tbh
cs unc who's been around the block. i assume he's been on academy staff with Q9. maybe he is good maybe he isn't. he IS experienced in tac shooters though
