Attacking Soul Esports vs. Dragon Ranger Gaming | Champions Tour 2023 China: Ascension | Playoffs | Valorant match

Very brief this time. ASE did not play well against RA, but part of that was due to RA players just being good tbh. Getting 13-1'd on your map pick though is not ideal for anyone, and I am curious to see how such a loss effects ASE mental. Regardless, I hope hfmi impresses again because the rest of his team was just non existant at times against RA.
As for DRG, I think the main focus this match should be to keep up the good form we saw when they played NIP. Of course, vo0kashu was great as always but TvirusLuke really stood out to me on Haven. I think another thing they have to figure out is who to start between Zeno and YuChEn. I think that although both players aren't the best mechanically, YuChEn's utility usage is better than Zeno's and has produced better opportunities for the team. Therefore I think they should start YuChEn instead of Zeno in this upcoming match.

I think this will be a solid ASE 3-1.
Regrettably, I won't be able to catch the match live :(

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand. What do you mean by tg group?

Edit: If you mean telegram group, then no I don't. The only social medias I use for messaging are Discord, Instagram, and email (Gmail).

This Ascension series? For sure! It's honestly incredible how DRG have been able to pull this off and I would've never seen it coming.

I feel like part of the reason ASE did so bad against Rare Atom is that the just let go krueger who was their analyst and the analyst for the famous OpTic roster back in 2022 as well as NRG during 2023

Maybe, but I also think it was a very bad map list for Ace

This is true. They got RA's signature strong map and another RA strong map.

international LAN tournaments have english broadcasts because they're international

Weirdest game I've watched in a long time. DRG have some very good mechanical players, but watching their attack on Ascent was painful.

But yeah... GG.

vo0kashu and Luke def. deserves the win.

because look there. what organizations got the slots. Have you seen them in top 8 in the past 3 events? Half of them - no. Obviously they will pick up the strongest players from these teams. if they want to be strong and competitive
