i mean if he was a sub then i don't think it should count
Dep getting an ace in Champions but that was the only round they won that map kekw
EDG are still fine, there was just a bit of an unrealistic expectation that they would curbstomp the kickoff tournament
??? He was literally trialing for NRG at one point
ur not wrong but this is just weird
I like him as well but some people think his whole Kpop twerking schtick is kinda cringe
VCJ Split 1 Playoff: FENNEL vs REJECT
FL Brief Information: They were giants last year, they're still giants now. FENNEL is coming off a nearly perfect regular season, just barely missing out on the 7-0 at the very end to REJECT. Since SyouTa's move to the duelist role, he has just been going insane every single map. Xdll has also looked insane throughout the season; if SyouTa's not on top of the team, then he's almost always a close second. The departure of hiroronn and JoxJo didn't affect this team's firepower, as their replacements Derialy and GON fit in just as well. FL look insanely dominant going into the playoffs and are definitely the favorites to win Split 1.
RC Brief Information: REJECT basically did a complete 180 to their Split 1 performance last year. Winning the second finals spot, alongside giving FENNEL their only loss this season, after not winning a single series last year, RC's regular season run has been nothing short of impressive. I guess you could attribute some of their success to the fact that the team claimed a lot of the spoils of the former Jadeite roster, or how they manage to cook up some wild team comp nearly every single game. However, everyone on this team are insane individually and I can remember plays set by every player. Their returning player BRIAN stood out the most to me, not only because we have the same name, but because he almost always throws the opponents off when he goes on a weird agent. RC is the team that I'm rooting for to win VCJ.
FL Players to Watch: SyouTa is a massively dominant duelist who actually ended up as the highest rated player in the regular season alongside CLZ and GON. Xdll also has his strong showings on a couple maps
RC Players to Watch: Since this is the team I'm rooting for I'm gonna be a bit biased and talk way more about these players. Akame is an insanely flashy player who manages to frag out every single game while also IGLing the team. BRIAN now plays damn near every agent at this point and can be quite explosive. Their loanee from Sengoku Gaming B, Hals, has also come up in massive clutch rounds, and is a large chunk of his team's win against FL on Breeze.
Prediction: FL 3-1 or RC 3-2. Really want REJECT to win this but this will be a banger to watch
VCJ Split 1 Playoff: VARREL vs Sengoku Gaming
VL Brief Information: I'm going to be honest with you, this team is one of the less interesting teams going into playoffs. They managed to upset REJECT near the end of the season, as well as beat out Sengoku in their previous matchup, but lost out to the other top names and actually lost to SCARZ, who at that point looked like a shell of their former selves. Every VL matchup was either a 2-0 or a 0-2, no in between. xnfri makes an appearance after last year's appearance on DFM, where even the lackluster performance in the franchise league proved to be useful experience in the Challengers league, much like Reita on Murash Gaming. LOB also has shown to be pretty consistent in the regular season. Honestly, I just hope this matchup would make me more excited for this team.
SG Brief Information: The team most known for producing one of Pacific's most dominant Tier 1 fraggers in PRX's Something, Sengoku Gaming fumbled last year's Split 2 after he made his departure from the team. For this year, SG picked up new imports in Jinboong, runner-up player in Challengers Korea, as well as his brother Gwangboong who transitioned from Overwatch. The pickup paid off well, with the twins consistently fragging out, with one twin doing well basically guaranteeing the other would be doing the same. In the regular season, they comfortably handled teams below them, including an upset win against NORTHEPTION, but stumbled a bit when it came to the larger names in the league. Could the rest of SG catch up to make the offline event?
VL Players to Watch: xnfri and LOB have been putting up pretty consistent numbers throughout the entire regular season, but that's most of what I can think to say.
SG Players to Watch: Jinboong and Gwangboong are definitely the standout players from this team, as you can expect one of the two to be on top of the leaderboard, if not both.
Prediction: Both teams had nearly identical regular season results so it's really hard to choose a winner, but I think SG would take it 2-1.
VCJ Split 1 Playoff: NORTHEPTION vs Murash Gaming
NTH Brief Information: NORTHEPTION basically had to rebuild their entire roster after a middle-of-the-pack performance in 2023, but the rebuild has shown to push out impressive performances. They came out third in the regular season, just barely missing out on the direct ticket to the finals spot to REJECT. Esperanza just woke up after their first 2 losses and just started to shred nearly everyone in his way, as he consistently top fragged nearly every series. Wolverine and Thiefy also look like extremely strong fraggers. This team looks to be extremely strong, and I could see them making it to the offline event and potentially making an upset against the two finalists.
MRG Brief Information: Murash Gaming is most known for being owned by a legendary Japanese streamer Junichi Kato. In the regular season, however, they didn't have the best of luck. They barely scraped by as the lowest seeded team to qualify for playoffs. However, they did have some occasional blowout map wins against some of the other teams in the league, and actually beat out NORTHEPTION with a 13-1 Lotus game pretty early on. Absol is definitely their standout player, and their youngest by a pretty large margin (IIRC he's only 17 while their next youngest Biju is 26). Reita also puts out some strong performances coming from DFM, which shows he still got plenty of experience playing in Tier 1 that came in handy playing in Challengers. MRG definitely have the resources needed to make a good run, but only time will tell if they have the firepower needed to do that.
NTH Players to Watch: Esperanza has been cooking for most of the regular season and looks to extend that streak to the playoffs. Wolverine and Thiefy also look very strong individually.
MRG Players to Watch: Absol and Reita were pretty much keeping this team in playoff contention the entire regular season. million also had some strong performances here and there as well.
Prediction: NTH should take this pretty easily 2-0

wasn't this over net not being in a scrim? feels like overreacting to say he got cut but that's just me
this shit was 95% flor hiding tears after some snarky comment and yet reddit portrayed this as some sort of epic own
they're safe from fraud watch for now
didn't do shit outside of oceania
relied on scarz winning against dk to make playoffs
that's just one guy
challengers oceania just started
his name isn't even john so honestly idk atp
if they lose to igz they're actual frauds
2-0 nkt Laz drops 60 on Chamber
team smg got me invested in last year's tournament, shame they disbanded
Players that left last year:
Jemkin: star duelist player, now on RRQ
Kr1stal: fragging IGL, went to China for some time and now FA
TORANECO: kinda mid but did his job, caster for VCT JP
New players:
Only1: zero pro experience and is not Karon
Lumo: from their RBHG vlog I don't think he's really confident in his calls
Tempura: lmao
MrTenzouEz: actually a decent pickup
no way you're taking sscary's side on this
BOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMB
Someone's getting fired and it's not the ones begging not to
The standings table has both "offline" and "playoff" potential based on match performances

you would know a thing or two about coves...
it's just the cgrs punching bag yapping, dw
where redlight vcj resumes when you need them :sob:
TLDR the team splintered into crazyguy vs Sscary sometime during their Ascension run. There's a pretty heavy implication that Yay got involved in the split, likely siding with Sscary.
Dude was the main reason I supported Bleed in Pacific and they just booted him after 2 franchising matches where he didn't even play that badly
it's so fucking over bros
bro just didn't want to eat the wing lmao it's not that deep
Nah most improved in China should've went to FengF or Kai (unless they were also good before kickoff i actually don't know)
mb i swore they played against acend for some reason
it's still insane that their closest map win was a 13-4
wtf happened weren't they like 3-0 in the regular season after playing acend
https://x.com/Akame_o3/status/1764132865401606316?s=20 the only time someone posted gojou before a match and won
imma be real with u a good chunk of why i supported bleed was crazyguy
this shit aint it bro
