Holy I was way too late for this banger

Though I'm a talon resident hater, I can't wholeheartedly agree with this, especially when Jitboys is one of those "4 old hags", at least jitboys is carrying his own weight, always has been. I do agree about the other 3 though, their performance can't justify why they can't go fullt thai when there are thai talents that are so much better than ban and gov, and maybe even crws, well I guess at least crws has his calling to bring to the table.

Not really, you just moved in so you're probably just noticing a lot of tendencies and player behaviors and blowing it out of proportion, but once you get used to all those noise you'd actually notice that it's a minority. Most would literally just chill and play the game, hell they won't even comm. Though I'd admit the experience is much worse from platinum up lmao.

Bluelock striker mentality ahh

riot impact before gta 6?

You're probably confusing it with BLD

Jremy is mechanically insane, he's exciting to watch as well especially with his crazy flicks and spray transfers. The problem lies with him shitting the bed at high pressure games, it's a mental problem. I think this year is his last chance to go over that obstacle. If he does he's easily top 5 duelist in APAC.

2) Is more likely. I don't see them throwing out everything they've done for the past months down the drain simply because of a one time thing.

The source is I made it up

You're right in the money, he did basically pull it up from the nooks and crannies of his ass. No wonder his takes have been shit lately lmao.

isn't ejay and 2ge always rank queuing with the other members of team secret

So you're basically saying, 2ge queuing with other TS members = 2ge closer to vash = so they pick 2ge > papi 💀
Make it make sense bro, Jremy used to queue with Giansanity aswell when he was in trials, what happened? They chose NDG > giansanity

The reason they didn't take Papi over 2GE was at that time NAOS has a shot in ascension, and there's no way in hell they're going to let him go (Jun3vile himself said Papi's buyout is huge). This was mid season as well, no way in hell as a business you would spend a lot of the budget for something that isn't guaranteed, if this was before the season TS would probably be more willing to do so. How about now? Too late for that, + I'm 100% sure that mid season overhaul was meant for the next season not Split 2 '24.

2ge is closer to vash

would love to see the source of this

I was about to say that you're not but then I saw your pickem 💀 tbf out pick ems are way too close

Bro I get the ace looked real fucking good. I was actually impressed how clean it looked, but come on, some of those shots were nothing but a stroke of luck, hard to reproduce. Even Daryeon looked fucking surprised with that ace.

Rob deserved to get shat on like this ngl

It wasn't just a T2 team, it's a Thai T2 team. If a T2 from their scene (MITH) can beat their T1 representative (TLN) you can make an argument that these T2 talents deserve the spot more to be in the T1 team, at least they do compared to the imports. What's the reason for having imports when they can go full Thai and have an arguably better team?

they won't survive the reevaluation in 2027 lmao

welp I though you meant NRG losing against teams they have no business of losing.

That would be the case if MITH isn't actually a good team, not saying Lofi is bad just saying for what I've seen MITH can carry their own weight and they do actually look good.

They guide others to treasure they can not posses.

nah it was real

Tbf, GE is technically another "ascended" team. The whole roster came from T2. The only players who had an experience in that team is Krystal (reached GF ascension twice) and maybe even Papichulo (used to compete internationally in CS, which is a very different game). Sure they should have won it, but it's not surprising they lost.

you called it, doesn't disappoint lmao.

I feel like the way they're gonna approach this is a rookie training grounds tbh + would this proven T2 players agree to play in a team that can't even ascend?

Mate, it being a b01 with only 2 teams participating should have been a dead give away that this is what's it going to be lmao.

At least make it entertaining for audience?! no?

I watched it and I had fun tbf.

Regardless of the result, we'll get a lot of cope, wash allegations, and crazy over reactions from the fans over a showmatch lmao.

or maybe... they're borrowing accounts considering China is considered a separate region from APAC, if they want to play using their main they'd need to migrate it to APAC, and that takes 90 days to revert back.

Xipto stepped up when it mattered. Xipto is what TS wants to be as a Filipino team 😭

Honestly, given their recent performances I knew ZETA was going to win this match up, I was surprised by how many people actually preferred FLC over ZETA, the betting odds was even 4x difference, that's easy money, I actually wanted to bet but didn't have the means to do so 😢

TS absent in OFF//SEASON but also in scrims lmao

Deryeon is definitely good, but I couldn't justify picking him over any other duelist in T1 APAC rn. About Crazyguy, I'd argue he'd fall behind T2 as well. Dude's mid at IGLing and mid at his role, not to mention, he's unprofessional as hell. Sscary tho, definitely deserves a spot in T1, but a lot of factors to probably make it happen, surely there are other teams who wanted him in T1 considering he's arguably one of the best, if not the best controller in SEA.

crazy, no way that guy deserves a spot anywhere at all with all the bullshit he's done last season.

bro, that guy wasn't even a GE fan before they signed all 3 Filipino players... He's the typical clickbait vlr user, if you want to keep ur sanity just ignore the motherfucker.

the Jremy slander is insane. Sure he did look a bit shaky by the end of Split 2 (specially when using OP), but it's rare to see him like that, when he's calm he's insane, have you not seen his crazy transfers? when he does crazy shit he doesn't even seem to be sweating, it's light work for him lmao.

everyone gets too much hate in vlr, really no need to overthink about it lmao

Yeah it's funny indeed, that was the case for me as well, I was actually asking who's yokam and keep confusing him to yoman LMAO. I remember Patrick Watson from Carti very well though, since I've watched a few matches in PH T2.

I think yokam will do good, he literally owned the PH scene the moment he entered it. He got comfortable competing real fast, so I'd like to imagine he has the mental to replicate that success in T1 (even though it's more difficult compared to T2 PH).

It is stacked (in APAC). Give them good coaching and guidance a PH team consisting of top 5 Filipino players can definitely win something (at least in APAC).
I'd take a guess and say that the reason TS isn't poaching more PH T2 players is because:

• The current roster is looking solid, they went 4-0. I'm guessing they're willing to give them another chance, and honestly this is probably what they had in mind last season anyways.
• The team itself (the players) has a lot of influence on the players they get. (I have no solid proof of this, but a certain yapper coach has said this before)
• They're still building around Jessie's Sova (it's evident, you can see a lot of their executes and plays rely heavily on his Sova, it's not a coincidence that their comp in their strongest maps always have a Sova) instead of building around their more promising and younger players.

If this happens GE is a honorary Filipino team. I'd definitely root for this team lmao.

Honestly, I want them to succeed, that'd pave the way for teams to finally look for T2 PH as their potential scouting ground for talents, if this happens TS will definitely be pressured to do the same.

Yes, TS does look for talents in T2 PH and they do actually find good talents (Invy and Oreo), but it still baffles me that they're not trying to build around their best performing players and just get the best from T2. How come GE got Papichulo and Yokam before TS did?

The first time I read this leak from tanmay I literally yelled "what the fuck" irl, if they officially follow through these signings I'd definitely root for GE.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO no way ur downvoted for speaking the truth

They definitely paid him a lot of money to stay, not only that, it's probably also convenient for him to stay with a thai team than to relocate somewhere else.

Invy, maybe? Sure he'd be a pretty inexperienced IGL, but I think it's within his capability to be a reliable one. He just need the right guidance and coaching, well of course, under Jessie when he decides to quit playing and just be part of the coaching staff.

Being a part of the team for almost 2(?) years now his teammates would definitely listen to him, even more so compared to a random IGL they pull from T2 PH. This isn't just a baseless statement though, if you've watched their mic checks you could hear him calling the shots(probably a secondary caller), and not only that, even Jessie himself called him their "Boy Genius."(Not gonna read too much into this, but that definitely at least holds some weight.)

I'd be surprised if it's not in franchise.

didn't reveal anything, just the common sign gif.

He's already signed. Huge relief it's not with Bleed.

LMAO this shit funny asf idk how get downvoted for this.

Honestly, I actually think invy would be a great IGL considering he does call in their games (if you watch their mic checks), not only that even Jessie himself called him their boy genius.

Probably not, Frost said something along the lines of "... together with jitboys and ban" or something like that.
