fuck I want crowds so bad

Their region has won a single series in the past three LANs
Their first game was a devasting loss.

Outdoing all expectations for them, they've already completed a lower bracket run and are on the verge of completing another.

There is no way this isn't a cinderella run (which isn't the same as a fluke, btw)

F sad to see them go

'//,

they're all equal rn imo

you too!

does the rule still exist that prevents large prize pools for esports competitions in Japan?

no

^ dumb person take

Astra Breach vs Double Duelist

the most slowing utility vs the most freeing duelists

very cool matchup

if forsaken and jingg are hittin it's wraps

otherwise they definitely can

it had 50k throughout the LOUD Optic series too

I hope bind is picked. I want to see another Yoru 30 bomb

'//,

APAC in APAC: unlimited hate

APAC outside APAC: friends

Zeta vs Loud grand finals will pull 1m+

weird + ratio

Today is a sad day.

sadly they're not getting out of lowers

'//, WIN!

dropping 30+ on controller is fucking crazy

if the first map was better this is an instant classic

Massive L decision imo

there are not many players who can play at a level comparable to BraveAF or Magnum.

speedrun so the real banger starts early

true

Shahzam: bad IGL

nah his team is just mega cheeks

astra breach could fuck them up

but if Zeta aren't 100% focused they'll lose to momentum since PRX seems to have infinite confidence

vanity valyn and fns are better igls than zander imo

I don't understand how it's been this long without the roster being dumpstered

Kill la Kill or Gurren Lagann (or any other Hiroyuki Imaishi directed anime)

Cowboy Bebop or Samurai Champloo

FMA:B or HxH

Neon Genesis Evangelion or Code Geass

Oregairu or Kaguya-sama

I think these shows should give you a broad overview of the common tropes that exist in different genres of the medium.

good list

cease

TSM will lose

this post is either the single most elaborate shitpost I've ever seen anywhere,
or a sign of serious mental illness.

either way it's fucking hilarious

flag checks out

Dark Souls 3

I knew I saw this graphic before - https://twitter.com/purest/status/1494737199564144644/photo/2

how does one interpret that graphic?

why do 13-16th place get 175 points while 11th and 12th get only 150 (and why are they out of the borders)

your opinion is objectively wrong

There are so many styles of play in Asia that I think it's extremely difficult to answer the first and second questions.
Xerxia is a great example of this, their style would likely benefit more from an Astra Viper meta. They lost because they couldn't keep up with Optics insane pace using the brimstone and neon.

The last one is easy. It's a clear yes. Compared to previous challengers events, the most recent one was very competitive and most matches had teams that had a good idea of the game they wanted to play with a lot of preparation for executing said plan.

There's more talent and investment this year too, and more eyes on the players as well.

Forsakinggg

8/8

Chet's worst nightmare

yeah. I love Davai but PTC hits different

PTC + sScary -> PRX

GG

yes

lmfao 8/8

I think APAC may become similar to EMEA, and the regional qualifiers will change to VRLs with a similar format to that of EMEA.

If that happens, the rule will likely be dropped.

It's difficult due to the regional qualifiers' roster requirements. I think it's definitely possible with investment, though.
