Well that is blizzard tbf. League's franchising has existed for quite a bit and its ok at best

Wait this is a policy I can get behind

fair enough. Humans are social creatures after all

I mean aren't people selfish in general?

Faria is basically the spokesperson of Rito. Kinda hard to tell what he stands for or what he is hired to say.

I think regardless whoever won it is still relatively a good ending. Both of these teams got stuff about them that makes you think "yeah they def deserve to win". Apeks was a shaky team when they started and they had to rebuild an entire roster with a new head coach. And Pcfic I don't even need to repeat what this team represented and their situation. Pcific held their heads high when they lost so they have a bright future ahead of them. Great composure in the end

NT pcific. Played your hearts out and represented Turkey

I mean you have veteran players who are married. It should not be outside the realm of possibility that they will consider retiring.

ono It's happening again

Regional matchups can be pretty close so I wouldn't count TSM out. Besides if Seven and sym show up it might be close

Hmmm this looks familliar.

Good mechanics insane neon

That might be a cool idea. What are some latam orgs would you like to see in tier 1?

Reta wants to collect those NA scalps

Mans survive a rough year and a roster implosion for this to happen. Not like this despairge

Deadass kru and lev need to consider trialing adverso and his team

Honestly Lev or any brazillian org.

nt MENA. Maybe next time.

Idk how much value they getting from phoenix but can Benny play anyone else?

NGL we seen saadhak with cracked aim. I am hoping that a new team can freshen him up a bit

Def not like they were teammates or something. Obviously some rando on the internet knows more about Boo as a person than one of the guys who competed and practiced with him. Makes sense to me!

Kirya has some serious bargaining power.

Yeah its not good. I get the modernized look but it has no character to it.

ur not wrong about that haha.

Recent college graduate here. Not fun applying and getting ghosted all the time so vlr gives me some joy (i just don;t take the forums seriously)

True. Turkey finally showing they got the chops to represent EMEA.

Kru Mazino is so back

C9 gets their arab prince.

The roster blowing up after ascent was def an overreaction. I'm sure they had good results on scrims to play this comp. They should've talked and figure stuff out if they wanna play this again or go back to an older comp. The way it panned out was not professional.

She's brings more value to the attack half than defense imo. So she is not really OP.

Bang with the phantom

Real recognizes real

Have faith. It will be worth it when it happens

If you really love the game, then learning about it should come naturally and fun. Focus on your attitude when youplay and know when to take breaks so you don't burn out. You are choosing to play/or not so own that decision. Everyone has their own learning curve so to make the most out of your grind know where you are relative to your own goals and ask for help from others with the intention of not copying their style but to implement bits and pieces to your own practice. Best of luck in your grind

I'm not sure EMEA is quite there yet. But I will admit this year they are making the steps in the right direction by actually scouting for new, young talent. I find it shocking that this region has such a deep pool of prospective talent yet they squander it by recycling old talent. TH is a great example of what happens when you pick up some new cracked talent and build something better than a FNC or a NAVI. I cannot agree that EMEA is better but they can be moving forward if more teams follow. This might sound super serious for a vlr thread but I figured since if you are giving an honest take, then it is only respectful to you if I give my honest answer.

yeah im coping lol

Kinda sad for keiko since mans a good talent but TL is a big org that needs big results. I can see them picking off from the carcasses of EMEA teams (except for TH) to form their own superteam

The upcoming Plat Chat episode gonna be hella juicy

TL Derke might be sick ngl

This might sound like copium but restricted free agency does not completely mean he is gone gone. I can imagine a situation where Fnatic trying their luck in finding some new talent but want to keep Derke if it doesn't work out. Otherwise, there is no good reason for this move.

no its just me being braindead and judging it based on the title.

At first I thought this was troll, but I'm seeing reason for once.

Vitality. Insane potential but they were mid throughout the year.

Unironically I'm starting to think any region outside of Americas, EMEA, or pacific might be actually good.

So are we counting or.....

Zekken plays sova again

Stay inside. Only you can bring gaming back, gamer.

Dicey. I like the guy but homie needs to figure out his agent pool.

Well I mean the chemistry doesn't build by itself
