They looked way ahead of most of the teams… EU and NA is fighting for 2nd place rn because VS already won the tournament.
Edit: NVM LOL
this is false for numerous reasons, nuturn with lakia was barely keeping up with a declining VS on their old roster, finally winning against them in the match to qualify for iceland. Since then VS have replaced their two weakest players with two of the strongest players in korea, both agent mastery wise and mechanically, as well as significantly enhancing their coaching staff.
people keep parroting that “vs just wanted to kill off nuturn” when they picked up lakia but this is just demonstrably false and even if they kept lakia, the new VS would have outperformed them by every metric.
if lakia was miles ahead of everyone else in korea skill wise VS would have him on the roster. he’s incredibly skilled but so is every player on vs.
nah u never proved why it was "false" and lakia and hyeoni are just as strong as mako and buzz, so i have to disagree but ur entitled to your opinion, plus i never said nuturn would be better i said they would be equal and i stand by that because vs didnt qual and nuturn did and then vs added 2 good players but nuturn added 1 realy good player too
think of it this way
stax, rb, mako, buzz, king
solo, lakia, peri, hyeoni, suggest
even on paper it’s obvious these teams aren’t comparable, solo and peri are players I respect a ton but their mechanics aren’t in the same universe as the other players in that list
do you really think that team would stack up to be equal to vs? and if you’re keeping allow and cutting peri then you have allow having to learn controller, which is basically a playstyle the guy has never done in his entire career and we have no clue if he would be comfortable / find success with
You guys are overhyping it, their performance against PRX wasn't that good, just because they stomp acend doesn't win they can do it again or doesn't mean they can do it to other teams. If teams are close to eachother just one bonus round clutch is enough to take the momentum and enough to win it in this game
