Nah zest is a smart player but firepowerwise I dont rate him that highly

Soooooo overrated any of the players I mentioned above him can drop 300 acs on reignite

Look at allow when he was on jadeit he was dropping 300 acs every game playing japan

And I was actually the ONLY PERSON WHO RATED SEOLHWA BEFORE HE EVEN JOINED A PRO TEAM, and I watched all his reignite games

Hes a prospect, not the finished product yet

He was near top 6 before sayaplayer and munchkin returned from NA and seoldam returned to pro play

By firepower

1. Buzz
2. Meteor
3. Mako
4. Stax
5. Seoldam
6. Rb
7. Sayaplayer
8. Munchkin
9. Carpe
10. T3xture
11. K1ng
12. Ban
13. Bazzi
14. Xeta
15. Foxy9
16. Eko
17. Suggest
18. iNTRO
19. Secret
20. Zest
21. s0m
22. Beomjun
23. TS
24. C0m

EDIT: Forgot Suggest, added Carpe

Wait why dyou lose your stars?

take what I say with a grain of salt tho, Im tired and saying a lot of random stuff

It has nothing to do with the public : its common for senior managers to hire a consulting firm as an insurance policy in case their project fails and they end up redlining (in this case it's franchising)

"Hey, Riot here! We're hiring a firm to choose our partners for the franchise league. BTW, if you don't choose the teams we already like, we will just go to a rival firm and hire their services instead! You get money, we get to deny accountability! Good doing business with ya."

lol damwon literally beat prx that tournament after prx 13-0d ge

maybe indians are right to call u indog

well see about that

NO lmfao

what happened to the guard? they missed champions by 1 bo5 vs 100T suddenly none of the players make franchising except saya in APAC?

this one is similar to mine except Talon and GenG higher than secret

아니 저 domination새끼가 짱깨임

.

nah this guy is chinese just fakeflagging as usual lol, no need to slander rrq

whoever wrote this is 100% affiliated to RRQ lol

lol

drx
prx
zeta
t1
geng
dtn
tln

which 3 teams here do u see secret realistically beating to become top 5

I feel like people are really underestimating T1. Historically, APAC has gotten shit on at almost every LAN event, sure we would have 1 or 2 good teams go deep but the overall performances was very poor. Sure DRX got 3rd but no other APAC team made it out of groups and PRX got grouped by Leviathan and Liquid.

Meanwhile, T1 basically brought in VERY high performing players from NA, everyone unanimously agree Sayaplayer and Xeta were top 4 in their respective roles in NA, and Ban was the best player on the best T2 team at the time. If this T1 roster was in NA, I would have them beating NRG and EG. I think T1 could easily challenge DRX for best team in Pacific because of this.

X beat Y beat by 5 rounds and Y beat Z by 5 rounds therefore X is better than Z by 10 rounds!

good stats

I hope not, that would be such a disappointment

You don't know how rankings work?

EDG 4th would mean NTH would go to 5th, and Kone 10th would mean Damwon goes 11th

Dont try to argue EDG is better than Zeta

They're basically an NA team, Xeta, Sayaplayer, Ban hasn't played versus an APAC team in a whole year

Xeta was the glue the made C9 a top 5 team, Sayaplayer a carry duelist that made Guard top 4, Ban was a rising NA star, Munchkin was the best Korean export in Japan, and I don't know the last player

PRX will likely beat them, but in my predictions I have T1 going very far

Also, "prime" PRX just got grouped by Liquid and Leviathan, and they're doing no roster changes. They're a good team but they need to revitalize themselves and improve next year.

EDG would be 4th and Kone would be 10th

Power rankings:

1- DRX
2- PRX
3- Zeta
4- T1
5- Talon
6- DTN
7- Secret
8- GenG
9- GE
10- RRQ

Predictions:

1- DRX
2- T1
3- PRX
4- Zeta
5- GenG
6- Talon
7- DTN
8- Secret
9- GE
10- RRQ

I'm heavily biased towards T1 because I strongly believe in Sayaplayer + Munchkin. I see GE climbing the list and GenG falling down depending on how they finish their rosters. I really like how GE is merging Ayrin with OCE players, I feel like that's a better fit. Top 4 is a toss up, even DRX could slip up and lose to PRX or Zeta. DTN could fall heavily, but as long as they sign Seoldam I think they should be on the same level as Secret and Talon. Honestly, it's crazy how much PH players there are in the 3 SEA teams. Talon might be the strongest SEA team after PRX, thai pride? RRQ will be last or before last.

Compare that to what we had before franchising:

1- DRX
2- PRX
3- Zeta
4- NTH
5- XIA
6- ONS
7- Boom
8- Onic
9- Bleed
10- Damwon

The quality of teams really fell off. RRQ would legitimately be a top 20 team if they weren't guaranteed franchising.

Hedge funds and investment banks use random number generators to project and account for forward exchange rates in their models.

THANK GOD

welcome to 2022, as a male you can identify as something else and participate with transgender and females players now

Im worried for our future

Riot needs a ENFORCEABLE ruling, right now this is just a hot mess

they need to put out a statement on WHAT CLASSIFIES AS NB, and HOW ARE THEY GONNA PROTECT ACTUAL NB AND FEMALE PLAYERS FROM FRAUDULENT NB MALES

funny thing is twitter and vlr males will try to cancel you for actually being concerned of the integrity of womens tournament

imagine being a women or a trans, and u try to explain that youre playing versus a male, and the males on social media kick you down saying BURDEN OF PROOF CAN YOU PROVE THAT HE/SHE AINT NB???? knowing damn well there is no way to prove someone isnt NB

fucking lunacy

https://www.vlr.gg/151656/damn-col-farming-the-gamechangers-scene/#11

I can deadass go and claim Im NB right, and the ONLY thing you can do is throw accusations at me and show 0 proof. How are you gonna prove that I'm faking NB? Are you gonna CT scan my brain and analyze it to figure out if I'm NB?

Feels fucking bad for legitimate women and trans players that need to put up with these bullshit arguments.

do you know the specificity of the ruling??? I just told you someone said its literally impossible to prove that a male isnt NB

I mean I dont know the specificity, but someone here whos seem well versed told me its literally impossible to prove someone to be frauding NB

that sounds like a ruling issue to me

no fucking shit

absolutely disgusting that a male can steal roster spots from a league thats meant to allow underrepresented genders to participate and win

True, but I still prefer a specific ruling that protects underrepresented genders more than the wild west where nobody is held accountable and fraud becomes rampant

Because trust me, there are a lot of nasty people out there, who the moment they see this opportunity they will exploit it for money

Well, they can make them sign contracts and hold them legally accountable in case of fraud once they reach playoffs

That would be a good deterrent

If riot actually cared about promoting women in video games (they dont lmfao, look at their execs, they just want higher skin sales and better esg scores), they wouldnt rule gamechangers in this shitty way where any male can just fraud and steal places from actual underrepresented genders

Another riot L that I didnt know about

Im in actual pure disbelief

Poor women and trans players that get their spots taking by frauding males lol

wow thats even worse than I thought, hypothetically, whats stopping 5 random male players just identifying as non binary and playing for gamechangers?

they need to do testosterones tests asap

they do it in real sports, its embarrassing that in esports were still in the age where I can fake trans and get in a team

were all slaves to corporations

how tf do you find shit like this who tf cares man

tf, so it might really be a bug lol

honestly, I think getting high rank in val is easier than any other game

they were REALLY generous with the distribution

also, support needs to stay back Im playing with so many supports in gold that wants to heal tank in frontline and let dps in back die

yikes

how many losses during your placements?

what role and did u do your placements?

nah I feel like thats just trolls running a disinformation campaign

all the gms I know personally got diamond or plat so

what rank did u guys get in OW? Im currently ascendant 2 in valo (peak immortal 3, took break) and got bronze 2 in OW lol, now gold 5

Im actually trolling, I looked it up and the VAs are actually japanese and I even listened to one of the guys streams and he 100% sounds japanese

I think Im just not used to hearing hollywood japanese english instead of regular japanese english

racist? the racism is westerners thinking chinese and japanese is the same
