in terms of being equal i really dont think you'll be able to

I imagine the closest to equality you'd get is like... Sydney, but that would fall under unplayable I imagine

ultimately there's sadly not a server in the middle of the Atlantic, so there's gonna be a bias towards either side

If you had like... West Coast players and EU players you'd be fine but yea

safe

c9, eg, 100t are troll orgs sadly

I feel like in the short term they at the very least should've let CN have 2 import slots per team for like... a year or 2

would it have made the region substantially better? no lol
Do I think the region would atleast be slightly better? yeah, better competition internally would hopefully make even the top teams slightly better

Atleast a team like JDG would look pretty good, Kr1stal maybe coulda got a T1 CN offer (bros just guessing with this one) plus... uhh yeah not much more

i dont fully disagree but how exactly do you propose China would've been introduced into the pro scene a year late without their own league?

Since it seems they have that 6 man roster thing going on due to circumstance, do they have a T2 team for the sub at the time to play in (if possible) or something

would suck to see Pati rot on the bench after reaching a masters :d

i know people wanna shit on FUT but being objective, they lost 13-10 13-11 to Heretics, who have proven they're pretty damn good

Then they lost 2-1 to Karmine Crop, including a 20-18 map loss

they're still a top team

calling a 13-8 13-10 almost losing is a bit of a stretch

i do agree that if karmine corp let FPX play off momentum that hard SEN could definitely punish, but shrug

ggs

me after disseminating fabricated or erroneous information across the vast expanse of the digital realm

we aren't even in playoffs yet the result of this match doesn't really relate to the question
(assuming Sen make playoffs regardless)

Does the team from the uppers get 2 bans as usual

If so, I can't see Sentinels winning the tournament if they go through lowers, however, if they manage to reach the GF through upper it's ggez

zekken is too insane to lose here

you guys got this match, think there's a good chance at a rematch in playoffs though, exciting

give him a shot but if overall team performance is worse with him, than yes, better keep him on the bench

yeah that's like 3-4Ls in a couple of hours though

i think i average like... 2-3.5Ls a day depending on activity, weather and what I'm eating, I'm perfectly fine lol

though iirc it does depend on the... type of water? Some shit to do with salt content or something

intra as in within the groups they are assigned to

so stage 1 is omega teams playing alpha teams

stage 2 is omega teams playing omega teams
it is pretty cringe

stage 2 is not like last years emea league no, it's still 2 groups

okay but let's not compare jett in 2021 to jett right now tho

frankly i do think bro is just yapping but that's comparing 2 very different things

tarik

this team didnt play, patitek carried trust.

bait aside.

most of eastern europe (the cracked part of europe let's be frfr) still prefers CSGO by far and hence more dedicated players for it, yet they (russia especially) still produce crazy val players

if CS just stopped existing it'd be a wrap within a few years

chadhaak is just too good

for an EMEA shout maybe starxo

they have won a singular match against fraud2 let's calm down a little

tbf atleast the TL roster isnt that good on paper

2 brazil spots 1 na actually

eh idk i heard they tried out a LOT of players, and frankly NA tier 2 is by far the most popular, so I doubt he wouldn't have been given the chance at all

yeah i lied i still just use him as a scapegoat for champs last year, until FNC win something again

i hate to say it but he's kinda spitting...

valid

the fact a T1 team hasn't picked him up before KC since leaving Gambit is unironically criminal.

yeah 100t, EG, C9 and G2 absolutely threw by not picking him up

sacked in the morning
he's getting sacked in the morning
sacked in the morninggggg
he's getting sackedddd in the morningggggg

he's been so huge this half please keep him heretics thanks.

(not polish bias trust.)

'struggled to beat vitality' yeah on their 1st map back after a long off season, sure

you said NAVI are looking insane, they literally lost their first map back to BBL

where did they say pancada was playin

i mean i dont think his teams ever really strongly over or underperform to expecations honestly

okay gpt3

oh no no i don't mean VCT rules, I just mean how VLR assigns flags to teams, it's based on the nationality of the teams core where possible

honestly loyalty isn't that deep for fans in esports compared to like football

if you wanna change ur fave esports team cuz of a roster move, go for it tbh
compared to football clubs which genuinely play a massive part in your local community, is whatever

yeah the requirements are 3 out of 5 in the roster i think

same reason KOI is now Polska mountain

how many illicit substances have you taken in the past hour

americas can talk not 0 major region skull

shoulda got baddyG (no polish bias) tbh

dont gas it so soon

ehh was it? I viewed that match as the battle of mid, whereas a LOT of people had FUT in like the top 3, and Heretics in the bottom 3

fut vs heretics was literally a bigger upset than any match in pacific and americas so far bruh

it's simple but lowkey FUT is my favourite
