There is no tier 2 chinese league to begin with back then, that was pre frachsining before there's a clear divide between tier 1 and 2. 2023 then came along and Whyz beats NRG. SR1 failed in tier 2 iirc. Also one of the best GC team in G2 gozen got 13-0 by some random tier2 team.
Its literally just racism and Chinesephobia
heavensentsaint [#19]damn chinese t2 is so bad whzy shat on nrg twice!
because great players can play in bad leagues, i dont get how this is so hard to understand

When? Every time flor plays against a t2 team she's almost going positive while most of her teammates struggle. Besides a lot of t2 NA teams are better and have more mechanical skill than the mibr.
The full SR roster isn't even a top 5 premier team bro.

in actual t2 qualifiers if u think knights monthly isnt good enough
Ok so we have two examples.
1: Lets be real, its a knights monthly. They're not pulling out strats and playing with match intensity in a knights monthly.
2: This one is probably the one we should a more serious look at because both teams were likely giving it their all for these qualifiers.
In this match, Infiltrator (not exactly a star t2 duelist) gets the better of Flor, and every player except moobs (their initiator) has a better rating than Flor. Also Winthrop is at best a bottom 3 team. So if virtually every player on the bottom-of-the-barrel team is outperforming you.....
But one game isn't fair. Lets look at other games from (top 32) of those qualifiers and compare Flor to the opposing duelist.
vs Poppin (yes, the tiktoker)
Result: Flor does solidly better, with 0.07 better rating and ~20 more acs
vs Req (most famous for being a reyna instalocker in ranked, but has a bit of experience in t3 tournies, mostly mrfunhavers and knights monthlies.)
Result: Flor absolutely shits on Req. 1.43 vs 0.96 rating
G3 The Winthrop game from above
vs Infiltrator (a real t2 player, albeit on one of the worst t2 teams)
Result: Infiltrator does solidly better, with 0.06 better rating and a much better FK/FD ratio.
vs Car (someone who is not known at all, but has a bit of experience in t3 tournies, mostly mrfunhavers and knights monthlies.)
Result: Car absolutely shits on Flor. 1.43 vs 0.74 rating and a much better FK/FD ratio.
Next Qual
vs Req (yes, the same one) and Kaoticc (nobody, mr funhavers and knights blah blah you get the idea)
Result: Flor clears Kaoticc, but Req does slightly better, with a 0.05 better rating (and a smackdown on breeze)
vs Kehmicals (was a legit t2 pro in the early days of val, but very inactive since) and Mocking (the goat tbh)
Result: Flor clears Mocking, and does solidly better than Kehmicals, with 0.14 better rating and ~30 more acs.
TLDR: Flor's best performance as judged in Challengers open Qual games, where both teams are gonna be trying their best, is keeping up with Infiltrator, about as good as Poppin kept up with Flor. This doesn't scream 'generational talent/best mechanical player in the world ' being held back by sexism or something.

vs Infiltrator (a real t2 player, albeit on one of the worst t2 teams)
Result: Infiltrator does solidly better, with 0.06 better rating and a much better FK/FD ratio.vs Car (someone who is not known at all, but has a bit of experience in t3 tournies, mostly mrfunhavers and knights monthlies.)
Result: Car absolutely shits on Flor. 1.43 vs 0.74 rating and a much better FK/FD ratio.Next Qual
vs Req (yes, the same one) and Kaoticc (nobody, mr funhavers and knights blah blah you get the idea)
Result: Flor clears Kaoticc, but Req does slightly better, with a 0.05 better rating (and a smackdown on breeze)vs Kehmicals (was a legit t2 pro in the early days of val, but very inactive since) and Mocking (the goat tbh)
Result: Flor clears Mocking, and does solidly better than Kehmicals, with 0.14 better rating and ~30 more acs.TLDR: Flor's best performance as judged in Challengers open Qual games, where both teams are gonna be trying their best, is keeping up with Infiltrator, about as good as Poppin kept up with Flor. This doesn't scream 'generational talent/best mechanical player in the world ' being held back by sexism or something.
lmao the moment u give a proper answer they say yapping
these guys just want to play victim and claim transphobia and live in an echo chamber
thenutoriousPRO [#88]holy yap
you could've read the tldr but people stupid enough to think flor is t1 probably can't read. Unlucky
lemondou [#72]I would play like tenz against bronze lobbies as well what are you on about 🤡
she plays well regardless of the lobby?

fine let me actually read this

i think the biggest thing u fail to recognize is that is very hard to frag highly or get a good rating when u lose a game, especially by a large measure. for example i think we can all agree zekken is a great player.
in this game against loud (https://www.vlr.gg/314645/sentinels-vs-loud-champions-tour-2024-americas-stage-1-w4) he got a significantly lower rating than qck. does this mean he is a worse player or even had a worse game? no. its a team game. if the team plays bad, generally the individual players will have bad stats. this is why i think looking at stats is kinda pointless and the only way to truly tell a players skill is to watch them play. again, flor could flop in t2, but using her stats when shes playing for a team that u guys call t3 or lower doesnt really prove if she is a t1 talent or not.

no wait this is different, qck was aspas for this game
Okay. I'll give you a take absolutely without considering the gender and the GC part from a person who has been supporting the Shopify rebellion.
Even in the games I've watched SR play, flor is really good cus opponent make too many mistakes, she is still very inconsistent on OP even in the games where she drops 40 kills cus she gets so many chances to get easy kills.
Also, her decision-making is not that good compared to a T1 player; she looks very good because she plays very flashy, but trust me, it's really easy to look good when ur opponents are just not shooting back.
She can play in a Tier1 VCT team, but she would be another average or below-average regular player at peak, nothing more than that.

great take, I've been saying that if flor deserves to be in tier1 then she needs to play more like the tier1 duelists and be more consistent rather than doing too many flashy plays

I'll also be fair in admitting that her team is still holding her down way too hard; if she gets a good igl and good support, she can get even better, but she still needs to learn a lot.

It does mean he had a worse game than qck, that's the whole point of the "rating". But Looking at a singular match doesn't tell an entire story, with more data, we can reduce that variability. Here's the full story of that split for zekken and qck, go find their names. I'll give you a hint, one will be at the top and the other will be at the bottom:
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2004/champions-tour-2024-americas-stage-1
As for Flor, I went through every one of Flor's games in the top 32 of (both) Open Quals and compared the stats to the opposite duelist(s). If you have a serious methodological dispute with this, address that instead of just going with the whole "stats are bad" schtick, and regarding that...
why i think looking at stats is kinda pointless and the only way to truly tell a players skill is to watch them play
Far from pointless, stats are actually records of past events, that quantify them in an objective way. When we say "aspas has been playing out of his mind this split", the rating stat is a perfectly reasonable way to quantify this and allow us to discuss it in a comparative manner. No stat can ever tell an entire story, but saying stats are pointless and watching someone play is the best test of skill is braindead.
As for the whole "its a team game" point:
It's obviously a team game and nobody denies this, but there's no way to perfectly control every factor that can affect a performance. What we do know is that Flor's team is full of signed professionals who have built their careers on setting up Flor in gc. What we also know, is that with this team, Flor has not put up stats (ooh a super dirty word, I know) which would suggest a level of play that is good enough for Franchising, and is probably not even good enough for Challengers (4/5 players in that winthrop match were higher rated than Flor, ie: the smokes and senti players on the worst t2 team played better than Flor in that matchup)
thenutoriousPRO [#77]how is gc not growing her fault? u are just saying random things now
Tier 1 pros literally refused to play with GC players, i dont know how you cant see that as purely sexism
Never seen a successful mixed roster it'll probably never happen

This is just nitpicking if we're being honest you could pick apart anyone's game like this, but no one is going to.
