He's genuinely playing in Best in the World form (keyword, form). But like actually bro is frying and carrying this team on controller / alt duelist. Like the EMEA stats for him are insane.

If you look at all 8 teams at Masters, the pacific teams seem to be in the worst form (regionally). Eye test they're looking the worst. I'd reckon that Liquid falter after Keiko stops playing like a greek god, and the Pacific teams all have massive space to improve. Once Masters happen, I think it'll all be super competative, but I don't think it's crazy to say that Pacific is playing the worst at this moment.
Why are we in the lords year of 2025 and STILL the only BO5 matches the lower and grand finals? I seriously think Riot needs to change so that all top 4 matches (Upper finals, Lower finals, Lower semi-finals, grand finals) operate in a Bo5 format.
Summary:
- More Bo5's gets teams more experience with it
- Encourages them to focus on deep map pools as it benefits your Bo3 map bans and you'll need a deep map pool to win two (or three) Bo5 finals matches.
- Increasing the matches that are Bo5 gives it more validity
I think that making teams win trophies (regionals, masters, champs) off a format that is only played twice in a tournament is crazy. If you're going to a trophy based on the best Bo5 team, I think it should be set up that you have to win at least 1 Bo5 to get there. It also requires masters 1 participants and champs top seeds to win at least one Bo5 to qualify to get to those tournaments. This format would demonstrate they could actually win the finals. It gets teams more reps and increases the value, on a regional level, to have a more complete map pool. In terms of schedule, it adds a single day. Day 1 you do upper finals, them losers semi's so the upper loser gets a time advantage, then losers final, and end with grand finals. 4 totals days of 4 seperate Bo5's instead of 3 days with 2 Bo5's. I think it helps prove what team is worth winning in a 5 map format, and creates less of a narrative that teams who dominate in 3 map formats are getting kinda shafted.
Zellsis can have more than my throat if he wants damn
I can't really ethically cheer for Liquid just because of the allegations towards some of their players. I don't even care that it's like a chance that there false, there's a chance that they're beyond true and that harm would extend past being hated on by someone on VLR.
Highkey I think 2020 as a comparison does work for how Yoru is played. 2020 was a lot of Pheonix and an emphasis on the second entry, similar to how Skye or Kayo would work later on, instead of the double dive popularized towards modern vct. Without the poweful flash Initiators we have today, the second duelist kinda had to kill that role of re-fragging and supporting the entry. It's not perfect, but this Yoru idea is so modernized that I agree that it's very fundamentally different from how a double dive operates.
China provided the worst overall teams for even last year. Yes EDG won. No buts, they won and now more than 3 chinese teams are able to play at high quality levels. If everyone brought 4 teams to Bangkok, china would be the second best region, in my opinion. Yall deserve your flowers as it currently stands, but you can't clown on people for saying that stuff about past china when past china were fucking glue factories. Now the bottom of AM is just piles of glue, but their top 4 teams are still the best top 4 any region could provide.
Why is like every damn team in this region running double duelist like it's beta. It's literally the 2020 idea of play your 2 best aimers on duelist and hope they win you the game.
I fuck with it heavy, it's a fun meta adaptation plus I think it's great to build more regional styles of play. I think it'll be significantly less effective against at masters events where the level of play is much higher and where choosing such an inconsistent style means so much more pressure, but as a means to crawl through your region I think it's threatening.
Using this rant for mada is devious if the people knew who it was actually about.
2G don't have Spike. This is just filler until bro is back. Like, he's not only their best player but a guy with the potential to be a top player in AM. I could not care less about a spike-less 2G.
