Franchise teams don't scrim each other?

T1 stunner(coach) said APAC franchise teams are afraid to scrim each other except for PRX/GENG/BLEED/GE
and DRX especially never scrims with T1 for some reason.

Is it an APAC thing?

It’s every T1 team’s thing

Nah it’s pretty normal. They don’t wanna leak comps or strats to teams they will have to play during the regular season. They also avoid franchised teams because they can tell other franchised teams what comps or strats a certain team is running based off scrims.

when they are close to tournament, they don't i guess

where did Stunner say this? Also Pacific teams can always scrim China franchise teams instead.
