singaporean, malay, and indonesian imports then. we have a lot of half chinese here

bump
also some vlr threads usually compile interesting data at random times so this is very useful

nah zeta genuinely played good macro and shooting very well too with a lot of confidence. even tho its a no pressure game for both teams kudos to zeta really, prx rarely got outaimed and this game was the one.

first timer yoru in pro plays at this high stake game is crazy move

their comp keeps changing i hope they figure it out asap

so they can stop rotating the controller and let smoggy flex

mf is also a good friend to these guys

good shout. and funny enough NRG still won this mickey mouse

https://www.vlr.gg/458809/gen-g-vs-boom-esports-champions-tour-2025-pacific-stage-1-w1 6.58

i remember i got a lot of money from boom after they won geng but a lot of people know ball so the odds seems to be even afterwards

betting in pacific = prepare to be bankrupt or rich instantly

damn people really believed in sentinels that much after their madrid run

nah even back then theres still no surprise. SPG was dominant in korea they were always expected to win, this year korean teams are inconsistent. riddle order are supposed to be the contender for this year but somehow they are in weak form rn. should be easy for motiv who are more experienced since they are ex-DSG afterall. Fullsense sadly their players got poached by Talon. And i dont expect anything from VLT and bonkers (EKING).

RIGHTTT i remember this game. Riddle is supposed to be ascension contender

https://www.vlr.gg/510414/zeta-division-academy-vs-riddle-order-challengers-2025-japan-split-3-w1 13.3 LOL

idk what happened there

NS + Boom/Motiv thats the only contender

at the start of the match it was 12 odds

honestly just make kr1stal and udotan the core, GE better shuffle the rest

nah thats sus as hell only happened on one site but not another

fnatic losing to KC close 2nd with 6.21

https://www.vlr.gg/303094/fnatic-vs-karmine-corp-champions-tour-2024-emea-kickoff-playoffs-sf

was it on sgares accusation? the odds wasnt that big

https://www.vlr.gg/508839/paper-rex-vs-zeta-division-vct-2025-pacific-stage-2-w3

7.90 is insane
we need a list about this, any other game have bigger payout?

🤣🤣🤣 bro had to remind me that game

especially with that one spesific flag + PRX flair. insane combo

ts exists

baiters = bandwagon

real prx fans are humble

you were a bandwagon tho

how are we tweaking just from a lost to zeta?

and? some people posting too like this one

we care

might be greater win than c9 boston considering how bad valve treat asian region in cs

sadly true. not to mention bringing drums to the arena lmao. imagine the crowd is chanting "FUCK YOU ZELLSIS" with drums

mongolz winning major is bigger than prx winning one i believe considering how bad asia scene treated in cs

i hope they can do the impossible

you mean legacy? 🤣

crowd buff everyone is cheering for mongolz i believe

asian last hope

manifesting both get trophy 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

thats literally what i was referring to.

falcons abused the core rule to make a team, use them for a few tournaments just for rankings and tournament invites and bench degster afterwards for monesy, and then become a new entirely core roster based on recent prize earnings. Valve new ranking system is very exploitable since there's no open qualifiers anymore. It's a system thats so bad for a team thats trying to crawl from bottom to top, especially for lesser region where prize tournament earnings are basically nonexistent.

wrong. it started when jinggg won the clutch 1v2 at 9-12

the amount of L takes and pacific haters in this thread is insane

he already is
3rd grandfinal
2 3rd place

nobody is even close
and hes already a veteran at only 21 years old

at least they're good in cod using controller aimbot

W
we need more insider interview like this from vlr

niko first game with falcons was in blast bounty event

and they use "valve ranking"

they literally use entire new roster and abuse the bs valve ranking system that rank teams based on recent prize earnings no matter the roster is

https://blast.tv/cs/news/how-valve-cs2-rankings-work

you can keep 2/3 people and run one tournament and the team rankings is still attached. thats literally what falcons do

back in 2017 it had way more events such as extremeland, zen esports, etc. idk what about now i hope private company organizer make more events like this

the thing is to climb up the HLTV & ESL ranking you need to crawl from the bottom to top, and european orgs who always stays on the ranking can change their roster whatever they want and their ranking is still the same. It's a bad system for lesser regions that dont have any events inside their own region.
If noname orgs in europe try to crawl from bottom, they always change their roster to the players that once in the ranking. It's a neverending cycle of the strong who prey the weak. The stronger gets stronger, the weaker gets weaker

Valve doesnt do natural growth lmao, they are lazyfucks who let private company like ESL & PGL run and rule the entire system. Mongolz is an anomaly, they practice in european faceit after they reached their goal to get a spot in the tournament. They have the consistency, something what chinese teams are lacking.
You need to realize that events & pug ecosystem is the most important thing to keep a region competitive. T2 asia is dead, if pros wants to keep up with the top they need to play pugs in european server, this is the same thing happened with NA.
