KO Pacific League assessment

been busy recently but I came here to say this.

1. fuck geng, 100% underserving slot shouldve went to damwon or crazy raccoon

2. geng unless they go for full korean or korean/jp they will flop, 0 confidence in them to do well unless they let meteor and bail make roster, they were pretty competent at roster crafting in OW and LoL but idk if its the same management that will make the val roster, 8th-9th place contender

3. detonation weird choice to build around suggest, they should pickup xnfri and derialy + seoldam now

4. t1 is unfortunately gonna do well, they scooped up all the best KR talent + a exceptional NA player who can speak korean

5. APAC league will be dominated by T1, DRX, Zeta, and PRX

6. GE, what a fucking joke. Out of all the imports from NA you choose Ayrin. Imagine if you pick valyn (IGL) or jonap. Ayrin had the luxury of playing with a team that could carry him when he plays like trash, he wont be able to carry GE at all. GUARANTEED 10th place finish this team has no hope.

7. bazzi, t3xture, seoldam are the priority names I want to see join a franchised team, either GenG, T1, or DTN

8. ngl I think pacific league right now (before future development) is by far the weakest league. Bleed isnt there, xia is splitting, prx got grouped, nth is splitting, zeta got grouped, GE will be trash, Talon and secret dont know yet but likely to be mediocre, RRQ has potential if they build a indo superteam but even then theres no guarantee they will be stronger than PRX, dtn will be mediocre, what remains is geng that needs to get their player recruitment together and build a competent team (not looking likely)

9. I dont trust these SEA orgs outside PRX to do well, Talon/RRQ/GE/Secret had hella money to spend but were beaten out by baseroom orgs, regardless of what rosters these orgs make Im pretty sure bleed, onic g, boom would beat them but ofc theyre not in franchise

im out pce

1. fuc u geng owns yo bum ass
2. again GenG own u, meteor owns u, i own u
3. idrc
4. agree with spyder on smokes
5. GenG owns u
6. Ayrin's igling owns u, had the highest trade rate at champions, others u listed are onliners
7. seoldam overrated never competed internationally, bazi and texture are good so ok
8. by u saying the pacific is trash, ur saying the talent is trash
9. idrc

i want iNTRO picked up too for sure

Agree with most of ur point, SEA orgs scamming so hard man, RRQ shouldn't mix Indo-PH, even if they wanna mix, mix it with SG or TH many great player and they're "easily" lured because RRQ got the franchise spot, Deryeon wannafly kadoom retla JayH Sscary, etc why mix with tier 2 PH player..

I think there's a lot of talent out there, it just comes down to will the orgs be able to provide a solid backbone and structure to let them develop into a formidable force.

Biggest disadvantage for Pacific that I can see rn is team synergy and lack of talent concentration, if that makes sense. A lot of NA and EMEA rosters are going to still have cores, players who used to play together, or even players that play ranked together, so they might adjust more easily than Asian teams who are scrambling to get the best talent.

Also like you said, asian teams just need to build competent rosters that will work well together and who have good coaching support and IGLs.

Best of luck to them though!! Im looking forward to see what happens

True, Pacific is the weakest league so far and not to mention the only league without International Trophy coming into the franchising era

i dont care about any of these takes except:

6. Nobody's expecting AYRIN to carry GE from a fragging position, he's one of the best pickups they could've gotten if they're trying to create a long term system within the org to foster talent and create a good team environment, the XSET guys mentioned that AYRIN is the most impactful outside the server, he has a strong mental and good leadership skills that can help the GE roster grow into a solid team, whatever shape that roster takes.

tl:dr ayrin owns you

AYRIN Owns You Lil Bro

Geng doesn’t deserve that spot i have to agree. Also GE will come last every tourney i have to agree with too. Unless Geng has a trash team GE will probably come last every time
