maybe threats was the wrong word but you have somehow equated all of this to be termi's fault in most of your posts. that's kinda crazy

maybe threats was the wrong word but you have somehow equated all of this to be termi's fault in most of your posts. that's kinda crazy
i don't understand how one retired pro's personal drama with his ex-team is meant to be representative of the korean scene as a whole?
did Inspire's benching paint a bad picture of the NA scene or something lol?
this. it personally feels like effluxi is making a statement so they can make veiled threats against termi more than anything lol. i don't like termi either but this just comes off as wanting to make jabs at him any way they can
i translated it too, but yeah your translation is better than mine as i'm kinda roughly doing it lol
working on a translation rn
this fucking guy man has zero punctuation its hard to read
It's a subject that can only lead to bad blood, and my team was too great for weak me to handle and feel motivated with. I will leave it up to my subpar performance and mental. I believed that there was someone either a trial player or a substitute who was a better fit for this team all three times, and I think it was a hasty judgment, so I want to apologise for that as well. To say what I want to say to BeyN and my teammates, my mental was too weak so even though we had good memories and times over 2 years, the bad memories and times stick, and I'm sorry for falling apart and hurting others and showing a weak mental. I was really envious of BeyN overcoming difficult moments even though they appeared more often for him. I admired him for his strength, which was different from me. I hope he keeps winning in the future and does well. Sorry. I would also like to apologise to the fans who, despite their continuous belief and support, I could not improve and could only show a poor display as I ended my professional career. I am really sorry.
rough translation here
there is no career to destroy though. flashback ended his career himself by retiring.
he wants flashback to stop streaming and playing in tier 2 and stay retired out of respect to the team he essentially fucked over by leaving.
whether that's a justified request or not is up to you
nobody really knows what went down except the people directly involved. but beyn spent the first 3 slides providing some context. i'm a lazy bum, so i'm not translating allat (i feel like the last slide kinda sums up his feelings anyway)
don't blame them. free my boy hyunmin

It's pretty long, but to sum it up, here is a translation of his last slide and direct message to Flashback:
Minhyeok.
You suddenly asked to be sent down to the Academy team in Stage 1 2025, and I had to quickly fill the Sentinel role because we had no backup player because of it.
I even delayed my appendicitis surgery so we could prepare for the tournament.
And when you came back to the team in Stage 2, you told the team this:
"I know you guys still can't trust me. I'm sorry, it won't happen again. I will win you Champs."
We trusted those words. We always trusted you, comforted you, and tried to go with you.
But in the end you suddenly announced retirement 2 weeks before the roster lock for Kickoff 2026, and we fell apart without any time to make new preparations.
I still can't explain the situation or pain your actions caused us, and I cannot understand your current self.
If you're truly sorry to us and the fans, please stop your streaming activities. Please.
for context, flashback has been making regular stream appearances and there have been rumours of him returning to tier 2.
icl rewatching some of the clips, for that time in the game they are, on their own, actually pretty decent. problem is that the level of gameplay is atrocious
i can see it as a future valuation for sure, i think T1 is close to 100 mill, but not quite there yet (imo)
keep in mind that this profit came after they just threepeated, something no one else has even come close to in LoL history, with the GOAT. Even if they get Chovy after Faker they will never reach that level of success again in terms of achievements combined with popularity.
You also wouldn't be selling to be profitable. Most esports is a moneysink. You do it for the influence and as a stepping stone into the largest entertainment industry in the world, games.
It's why football players, and teams are looking into esports. It's not for profit, but to get a foot into another industry.
for sure, some investors are comfortable with the hit that comes from investing into a volatile scene like esports, but I doubt T1 would really have significant bargaining power if they reached a point where they would want to sell the org.
i also think that wanting esports to be your entryway into the gaming industry is not the best idea as it's still pretty niche even within the world of gaming. casual gamers significantly outnumber competitive gamers.
just because they are profiting does not make them worth what they say they're worth lol. That 100 mill could easily go to another sector or industry where there are companies making more profit at a lower operating cost
esports is one of the worst places to make financial investments because 90% of orgs operate at a loss and arguably the biggest org in the scene just barely made a profit last year after winning by far the most amount of trophies and with the biggest fanbase. what makes you think any investor should buy that org if they're barely squeaking by despite all that? just shows that the market for esports is risky as fuck.
shi you wouldn't have to tell me twice
100 million is a lot. considering T1 made 60 mill in revenue and only 1.4 million in profit (and that is with the success of OFGK), plus esports going through a winter right now, I doubt people would be willing to buy T1 for 100 million.
T1 values itself at 200 million, which is crazy. I think T1 can be worth 100 mill in the future, but right now it's probably not there just yet.
not worth, they are asking for 100 mill. which is pretty high imo, i doubt even T1 is worth that much
karon was like the second best player in kickoff. he's good on basically any role but smokes is his best ofc
racism against indians is normalised everywhere.
nothing wrong with my statement unfortunately
santiago, shanghai, and bangkok are now part of korea
i thought the sea guys were the self proclaimed best ragebaiters tho
entirely self caused btw, no korean person ever said VCT Korea. shit was just other SEA fans doomposting
i don't see people doing that but the ones who are are either retarded or ragebaiting, technically the same thing ig
we had a good run boys, 3 trophies and a podium finish every year for 5 years straight is not bad at all
gl to ge fs and prx, primmie is insane man
save izu btw
it's without a doubt mini lol, prx won their only trophy with his help and we all know fnatic's achievements
how is zeek above meteor forsaken and kangkang
91 kills in 3 maps
he probably has been getting slandered for no trophy for a while
as for the regretful decisions nobody knows for sure but one can guess
https://i.imgur.com/tKPmctW.png
Really~ Even though there were unfair things, tiring things, things that drive me crazy, it was a regretful Stage 1 where, even though I was really unhealthy, I tried to act hard as if I wasn't. Even though everyone finds it difficult and tough and unfair and that people have to carry the weight of the decisions they make sometimes it feels like too much. Although I put myself in this position sometimes I wanted to move away from it. This is actually the first time I’m saying this, but as the years go on it actually feels more tiring. I thought I was just maturing but it feels as if I was just withstanding this environment by understanding things that didn’t make sense as if they did make sense. Of course, nobody doesn’t go through things and as people everyone has regrets but when you’re given the choice to sacrifice yourself due to someone’s pressure or for someone’s entertainment and you have to deal with that choice, i don’t understand why one has to go through not even criticism, but mockery. I don’t know, I can’t even do this for fun.
Why do I post this? I’m not in the right state of mind but I just hoped someone would recognise me.
Even though there’s nothing good to come from me posting this, I’m tired of living like a machine. I feel like my emotion is getting ahead of reason and I’m sorry.
edit: corrected "I tried to act hard as if I was"->"I tried to act hard as if I wasn't"
rough translation but this is the gist of it
holy shit i just read it and this is absolutely fucked. mako has actually been a very emotional person if you followed drx since the beginning but it is actually insane how vulnerable he is being in this post
hope he leaves drx and wins a trophy soon 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
faker is literally 1 of 1 bro thousands of people in esports have attempted to match his legacy and none of them have come close
faker is the only one to be at the top over 13 years in any esport
Obviously TenZ is the most popular Val player but he’s not a pro player in tier 1 right now.
Who’s the most popular on socials? Aspas? f0rsakeN? Boaster?
