dont wanna be that guy but he literally could not hit a shot the entirety of that second half

It's not true lol.

Currently:

KRU 3-1
SEN 2-1
FUR 2-1
NRG 2-2
--- <- Playoff Cutoff
100T 2-2
EG 0-4

If FUR wins, they're 3-1 and SEN is 2-2.
NRG and SEN play each other, so one will be 3-2 and the other 2-3, let's pick NRG as the winner for the sake of the scenario.
100T's last game is vs FUR, if they win they're 3-2 and FUR is also 3-2, while NRG is 3-2 and SEN is 2-3. The results would then be (just assume KRU wins vs EG but it's irrelevant for scenario):

KRU 4-1
100T 3-2
FUR 3-2
NRG 3-2
--- <- Playoff Cutoff
SEN 2-3
EG 0-5

i thought none of the alpha teams were better than EDG or XLG but so far alpha winning these seeding games

AG here is crazy

BLG made playoffs at 2023 Champions

Considering BLG can get a map from SEN, a full power XLG probably could too.

how is BLG worse than this XLG? XLG literally can't communicate while BLG took a map from SEN and at least looked like they belonged in the tournament in the maps they lost.

chill on him

BLG needs more players who are that guy like Whzy, EDG runs around with KK/Smoggy/Chichoo able to smurf it at any moment, for BLG it's really just Whzy surrounded by a bunch of players who are no more than solid, would love to see someone like slowly join him for extra firepower.

BLG 2-0 quote me on this

Wolves fluked to Toronto by beating BLG on an off-day, EDG woulda smoked them

im convinced edg woulda beat wolves, team has no clutch potential

anyone else feel like wolves kinda fluked into toronto

idk how to describe it but somethings missing with them for me, like xlg/blg i can imagine taking down a team at toronto even if they wont get close to edg heights, but wolves feels like the type of team that'll just show up to play four maps and go home

just me?

they don't have to beat both in a row, BLG and TE are eliminating each other, all EDG has to do is beat DRG and then whoever comes out of the BLG/TE match.

offseason merchants

Tbh, while I'm not the biggest fan of how T1 and DRX have been playing (and conversely quite like how EDG/TE have been playing), I feel like the Korean teams have enough either firepower, experience or both to overwhelm the 2nd seeds from the other regions, though I don't think any of them look better than G2, VIT, or EDG on a good day.

fact that you said fpx proves you're clueless

This is the type of random ass series where everyone thinks the team that made controversial roster changes will fold only for them to stomp.

Stew, jkuro, MrCANI, Babyblue, Z1yan is the roster?

2 new players cuh and nephh is with the team longer

jdg clears

flair

Could believe BLG, the scrimbux post yesterday (https://www.vlr.gg/420623/apac-cn-scrimbux-part-2) shows EDG down 4-14 vs someone and BLG up 14-4 vs someone, so...

put viva back on igl

letting everyone know that Jingdong Gaming is playing today, buy stocks now before the world sees you as a bandwagoner

what core bro there are 2 players left from that roster

Ooh, where was that rumor? The rumors I saw were sword9 replacing YHchen and trials for Lysoar. I imagine they're between hfmi and Lysoar in that case?

blud thinks stew is leaving aintnoway

Lysoar's trying out with like 5 different teams so it looks like FPX is open to letting him go atm

Ok I found a lot of scrim rumors, including the one thejanitor mentions, from latest to oldest rumors:

9.24 - Lysoar & W1nner tryout at BLG

9.23 - YHchen tryout at AG, qiuye tryout at NOVA

9.20 - JDG scrim with Stew/Viva/Z1yan/Lysoar/Sword9

9.19 - sword9 & Lysoar tryout at JDG ||| DRG scrim with Tvirusluke, vo0kashu, nicc, shion7, SpiritZ1 ||| TYL scrim with Ninebody, Eren, slowly, core, unknown 5th.

9.13 - Lysoar tryout at Tyloo.

9.5 - W1nner tryout at FPX ||| Lysoar & SpiritZ1 tryout at DRG

That's all I can find, from Sept 5th to Sept 24th.

its the year of prx (surely will win a bo5 vs an na team this year?)

do prx fans hate something i saw ppl wanting hyunmin earlier in the offseason too

JDG

Fan of the LoL team since 2019, then became a Stew fan during Ascension last year. Shit happened to line up and RA core went to JDG. Year was kinda ass but the roster for Stage 2 was actually good and I hope they can keep everyone for 2025, but especially Stew/Viva/Z1yan.

offseason got me down bad, only one I know is JDG Flex1n, anyone tapped into cn forums who know anything else?

vo0kashu, Rarga, Kr1stal son RA, its so sad 😭

(truth is RA never wins any finals)

chichoo

I think they'll keep UdoTan considering he's been with the team for so long, even though I think free1ng is less replaceable

replacing z1yan would be extremely stupid so probably yhchen

From what I could gather + remember:

2021 offseason - EDG wins Worlds, Scout wants to return to LCK after, signs a contract with KT Rolster without EDG's knowledge and while still being contracted with EDG. EDG manage to resolve the situation, tell Scout that money isn't a problem and ups his pay, ask that he stays with them until retirement.

2022 offseason - Scout wants to return to LCK again after 22 season, EDG tells him that he can go on the condition he joins a roster that can match his current pay. If I remember right, the rumor for the offseason was that he was joining Hanwha Life Esports, but they eventually decided on Zeka, and the other top teams had mids locked up already, so he didn't return to LCK. EDG supposedly lowered their bid for him since he had not many choices left, but was outbid by LNG and Scout joined them. (This is the part where I'm a bit hazy on because afaik Scout was a free agent at this point so EDG shouldn't really be able to give him conditionals).

2023 - Scout plays with LNG for the year, around Summer playoffs rumors pop up saying EDG is pursuing legal action for his signing of an illegal contract with KT in 2021 offseason. That legal dispute continues today.

2024 - EDG wins the legal dispute and Scout has to pay a fine, but EDG were not satisfied with the punishment and want a second trial, have requested that Scout cannot leave the country during the civil proceedings which is a thing for lawsuits in China, which leads us to where we are now in that Scout may not be able to go to Worlds 2024 unless EDG remove the travel ban.

Said this during the SEN pre-thread where ppl were saying SEN's Sunset record is too good for EDG to let through—Sunset is EDG's best map since Stage 2 and they aren't afraid of anyone on it.

you guys are so boring with this kind of bait like its actually the same kind every time

te win: "one fluke against shitmea"
te win again: "one fluke against lev"
edg win: "fut is shit"
edg win again: "pooperx"
edg win again: "kangkang trace father"
edg win again: "one fluke against sen"

new material pls, also learn how to count it cant always be one fluke forever

Sunset is definitely good for EDG, it's been their best map for all of Stage 2 and they broke PRX's 13 map winstreak on it.

selamat tinggal singapura

pacific strongest region coming into the event... 1 team in playoffs
