Spring is insane
Eren is really inconsistent
YRselect has been mid for forever
JayH is good apparently
Idk about bruce

No, as long as majority of team are cn/tw/hk/mc then it's fine. In this case that means 2 imports max, WBG for example had two aussies

But riot gets to chose the org? So this is very unrealistic

1. Kroenke gave up on esports, so org just straight up refused to sign the terms regardless of what they were. The reason they let them play ascensions if this was gonna be the outcome was because of contract agreements probably

Really don't understand why they don't just let G2 pick up the guard here. Riot was already going to franchise them before all the andrew tate stuff but that ceo is gone now, and since it's Riot's choice here it highly minimises the chance that the chosen org payed the guard to do this

bump

Well, might as well

Who had it before

people really falling for the reverse psychology

Then there's SEN who's making a roster change every time I blink 💀💀

Yeah but there's no requirement for that? That's not a written rule, and it usually takes a very long time to buy out a team. This is very unrealistic, but this being an option already gives orgs the incentive to not build their own team and just wait then? So riot going with option #2 really doesn't change that aspect? Bonkers were 2 series away and they weren't picked up by an org

Bro not many orgs will implode after winning ascension, this is quite a unique case idk why you think this is something that other orgs can wait for and capitalise on when it happens. That's completely unrealistic, and just a horrible business strategy

Well what if a team without an org won ascension then? Riot really didn't think this through

Bros doing a tarik 💀💀💀

Sounds about right

The only roster change that would make sense would be replacing the duelist (not that tex is bad, it's just the easiest role change to make). It would be so dumb for G2 not to put those other 4 players together who've been playing for what now, almost 2 years together?

Toast said he was willing to buy out the whole team

Man at this point what team isn't running out of money

That wouldve been far better? And he couldve dropped them before ascension? Then another org could've picked up the team and won ascension. Toast said he was willing to buy out the whole team, but now it's too late

I do get the contract thing though

Tbh not really sure why he'd let them play all of ascensions anyway if this was gonna be the outcome

LMAOOOOOOOO

hahahah little did he know

they need a kk on marshal

I think LOUD is still underrated here

after

you really missed the joke didn't you

an

who's gonna tell him

yeah but most likely not until next year, that'll be ages

yeah tbf those 3 months were BLG's only chance to get a spot in the "chinese league"
it was a requirement to have a starting roster very early on, so they had to just get whoever they could at first but the pro playerbase was so small they couldn't find any good well known players apart from whzy & rin from T.O.E which disbanded
That's why they gave the other 3 hella short contracts cuz the plan was to wait for when other vets became F/A - this happened when KONE (ex-2nd best CN team) disbanded and they picked up knight and yosemite

all the other new orgs investing in CN val pretty much have to do the same thing but they know it's worth it

I could see BLG picking up Luok1ng to replace rin for KONE core

just mid ig

surely they drop rin.. and they only ever made upgrades by bringing in veteran players

Replace him with Luok1ng (ex teammate of yosemite and Knight) which makes BLG the old KONE core and they clap cheeks ez

fr and his calling is so insanely good

Initial of his name is K, night is added on after.

BLG 2-0 EDG

EG's pearl looks a lot better than EDG's. Who knows though maybe kk can save them

hot af, the Taiwan genes going hard

Fax

?

genius

When does NRG play lil bro

K is the initial of his name, night is added on after. In interviews people refer to him as "小K" which is basically "lil K"

blg were close to beating EDG in the grand finals, they're not that far off

I watched that game bro

https://www.vlr.gg/220449/drx-vs-nrg-esports-champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo-lr1

same shit people were saying about nrg against blg

nono they definetely did care and the grand final vs EDG was very close actually. They've just been improving at an insanely fast speed, their roster is pretty new too

Holy shit you're right, how could I ever so simplify Potter's intricate plan

the final stages of the plan are already in action. The finishing touch is EDG beating EG next, and its only up from there
