Including all events (not counting bo1s).

Talk your shit king. Give it back to then, they spoke too much last year.

Stats says, in past 4 years, SA teams have only managed only 3 bo3 wins. This is basically free odds for gamba right now (2.60 : 1.45)

You just can't trust the country flags on bait posts in general.

Those who have had hopes in past never followed the CS scene in south asia. Almost every Indian and Pakistani is an ex-CS pro, who failed to win even a single ESL India tourney. It was won every time by a team from Dubai (Risky gaming) which was later known as NASR. The competition level was so low that SEA teams were not even interested in participating for basically free cash.

You are expecting the same players to change their work ethic, laid back attitude and switching teams for same result next year to perform. 4 years have gone by and none of the players have managed a top 50 leaderboard finish, grinded like jinggg & forsaken duo, shifted to Chennai for better ping. 3 major orgs (VLT, Enigma and Orangutan) have left the scene in this region.

TLDR; we need to watch Chess Olympiad rather than valorant washed players.

What a waste of time. 4 years with no improvements in the SA region and they get better chances next year is hilarious (many SEA countries have been clubbed together for next ascension). Time to watch Chess Olympiad and cope there, I guess.

RNT plays against losers of JFT vs RL. OF plays against NAOS.

RNT's stats show their winrate on icebox was less than 50% even before they picked it. Yoru on icebox as main dualist, everyone knew it was a 2-0 when it started. SPG in my books still doesnt look as good as FS, BOOM or riddle.

No. SA is bottom of the barrel region, Korea isn't. They got 7-0 ed on their own map pick. SPG still didn't look good. RNT looked bad which was expected.

RNT always has problems with IGLs. Sultan was IGLing before this and severine before that and they both massively underperformed.

Youtube significantly degrades the quality at 1080p for non-popular channels. The only way to make sure you get good streaming quality on youtube is to stream at 1440p or higher.

certainly competing with GXR. 30+ min delay for the 1st match

Aryin got a job at riot, I think that's success.

seems like they used all their bandwidth streaming on youtube, 4k 60 there lol

IND was never overrated, it's expected of them to remain bottom of the barrel. KR disappointed everyone in last year tourney. They are expected to be top 3.

Yesteryear's performance proved SA was washed as a region. You are stating the obvious.

Maybe head to head, idk. In my region, h2h are more important that round diff. Liquipedia generally does this better. Happened in Pacific ascension last year if I remember.

You unfortunately don't fit the preliminary requirements.

SPG won, but their executes, planning/timings, trap setups, etc looked off. Maybe too much of how good Geng and DRX plays made my expectations sky high. Also, pretty much every team in ascension has a similar record, everyone cooked during split 1 and played their A game in split 2.

Looking at your tracker, you need to play more.

That's too far fetched.

Not gonna lie, SPG looked terrible vs local competition, and so did RNT. Only advantage with SPG is the quality of scrims they have access to, given every team was in Korea a few days back, let alone every Pacific tier 1 team they have access to.

Given I'm 30 y/o and only give 20-30hrs of playtime per act, I guess I will stay at diamond 1

You are including curry, FNS and Chet. Of course they are not Indian. I'm just saying FNS's parents/grandparents didn't even migrate from India, they migrated from Africa.

FNS is not an Indian. His roots are african.

They are limited free agents. If the new coaching staff decides to keep a few players, they will.

Sure buddy

Not if there is one more team coming from ascension. You always remain a no. 8 team.

Nahh. 100T was really doing well till Sean was the head coach, that too with mid players to begin. Since he left, 100T has struggled a lot and mikes was the head coach. Since then, the team has changed a lot and looks much better on paper, but that guy practically had not impact.

They haven't been the same since jingg left. Something isn't winning duels. Forsaken isn't winning trades. Jingg is no longer being able to abuse raze because of map pool. These guys used to be at the top of Pacific leaderboard, they aren't now.

His Raze is clearly better than his Jett and Neon. Same goes for PRX's Jingg (he plays Neon). It's the only reason I can think of these players struggling along with the team. Map pool in Shanghai and here are more of a Jett and Neon maps. Only Bind is a Raze map. He will be back with Split and Fracture.

Used to use .47. couldn't control the shaky aim.

Gets blazeking from GE and proceeds to win masters next year, this recipe is known.

Yep, blazeking and monyet in same team next year, and looking at the history of GE, RRQ will win masters next year.

Game has changed a lot since 2021. Pati went to overwatch and lagged behind ever since. Primmie has been really good. His movement is unconventional and he really takes fights well. Talon might upset a few predictions. Thai players really have the ability to do well, they have the talent pool. I seriously feel talon can go with an all Thai roster next year if it helps with comms.

DSG looks decent. They have really good dualists. Full sense, Naos and Boom definitely look better.

You are cooked. I'm almost certain curry is playing instead of sacy.

Most probably curry is playing.

We have DFM at the bottom for two consecutive years now. Why no such criticism for them? Why only the "Indian org"?

I swear, one of those 7 names (team + coaches) is winning the masters next year.

He is going to pop off in OF and win ascension next year, and win masters 2026, similar to texture.

Vatsal is incharge of both pubgm and val teams no?

Polvi is coming to save OF

It's hard to fix issues with only 10-12 official games in a year. They may have worked hard, it's not their fault TBH. That's why American teams replace the players so quickly.

How do you kick the owner? It's a private company and he finances everything. He got the hospital money.

They have almost 6 months to kick the other guy and remain bottom of the barrel team.

Maybe stop behaving like a dog? Who asked you to poke your nose everywhere?

The only Esport we take seriously is chess(dot)com. It takes one champion to convince the parents that a career can be built in a particular game. I have personally never touched mobile gaming.

Nobody cares enough about the game/gaming. India is a developing nation and most of the player base has "earned" their own gaming PCs via professional jobs. As a kid, you will most probably end up with flagship phone from a Chinese brand and a dinky laptop to fill college forms. It's rare to get a gaming PC as a kid. So most of yhe players start playing at 22 or more, and it's too late by then.

It's recency bias. Wait till rnt plays in ascension. Last year, OG won without dropping a single match (bo3 or bo5) and went 0-4 with the greatest achievement being able to take a map out of Bleed.
