Not really, but i expect a 2-1, Seider had an up and down yesterday and FPX easily couldve lost yesterday on 2 of the maps, it was scarily close with Xerxia.

FPX are an amazing team but its safer to say that yeah DRX who are a better team than Xerxia should beat FPX here in a more comfortable way. This could bite me in the ass and it should be a great match either way. But if we're talking numerical odds I'd say like 20% chance

Yeah I know Korea has 1 slot, and i dont think anyone was gonna be beating DRX. I knew they sent f4q and nuturn. But as stated in #17, i dont consider KR, BR, or LATAM minor regions. And yeah I know the fact that we only see DRX is the fact that they get the only slot KR has. Thats moreso a format problem than anything, my point was only being that thus far nobody has challenged DRX for that no 1 spot. Whereas every other region regardless of spots has had numerous teams be that 1 seed. Not to say they arent competitive because hell, we could easily see a 2nd korean team at champs via east asia lcq.

I think u were just misunderstanding what i meant by mentioning korea

Yea because Thorin is reliable. Totally

No, even with Zellsis and an unretired Shroud, they would be lucky to even make top 6. They just maybe now will avoid being dead last.

no such thing as a fluke team.

posted about 2 years ago

don't let the regional supremacists hear that though.

People across every region and fanbase would rather just shit on other teams and regions then mald when their team lose and it becomes a toxic cycle.

Either way yeah Optic will probably bounce back from this loss.

posted about 2 years ago

definitely a possibility

100T, EG, FaZe, Guard if they bounce back are the ez top 4
NRG and SR have potential but I don't expect them to
C9 I have little faith in
sentinels taking 8th for sure

Korea has only ever sent 1 other team other than DRX to a masters, and that team doesnt exist anymore. Thats not a diss on korea at all. I'm just saying compared to every other region to this point. Korea is the only one who hasnt sent multiple teams to more than 1 international event.
LATAM until Copenhagen was in that same boat.

posted about 2 years ago

a t3 region wouldnt even have a slot in master
0/8 bait

posted about 2 years ago

the only regions that would be considered minor rn are OCE, SA, China, and MENA

posted about 2 years ago

fnatic have atleast been consistent in making every international except Berlin

fnc rn isn't overhyped, they won emea for a reason, and emea is probably one of the two most competitive regions domestically. I can see them at bare minimum finishing top 6 at copenhagen.

posted about 2 years ago

DRX eventually will break through and win a masters im sure, honestly I wanna see them PRX, LOUD, or any of the other non emea/na teams win a masters or champs

posted about 2 years ago

nah emea can compete too, fnatic are a top 3 itw.
FPX when full roster is pretty good
guild is just emea xset
they've still technically won as many masters + champs as NA. (the only 2 regions to do so)

I understand why you're saying that given the toxicity of some of the emea supremacist trolls but you're just as bad bro

posted about 2 years ago

as i said going into M1, there is no such thing as a minor region because every region is competitive and has several international level teams
(except for maybe korea, but DRX is still a top 5-10 itw consistently) Its good for the scene to have such a small international gap because it means anyone can win, thats why "upsets" happen all the time

posted about 2 years ago

its a never ending cycle of braindead vlr users, its not gonna change sadly.

EVERY region has a dozen or so troll bozos on this site that keep this toxic cycle going and gives everyone else a bad rep, your take is the correct one that most people have, just aren't the vocal majority

posted about 2 years ago

its almost as if emeas fans didn't do this after every map of FPX XER and OPTC GLD yesterday.

Its a never ending cycle of toxicity so don't get all defensive bozo

posted about 2 years ago

this has happened everytime a map has ended this masters, literally FPX v Xerxia earlier today was the same way.
As was both maps of GLD v OPTIC, and KRU v LOUD yesterday.

People jump to conclusions and would rather be toxic and talk shit before a series even ends. Its a never ending cycle of toxicity

Honest facts, common w from NG1nS.

Its getting so fucking old to see the same cycle of "my region better yours is shit" anytime anyone wins instead of people just enjoying good international competition and realizing that nobody is gonna be constantly on top because everyone that makes it to LAN deserves it and can beat any other team any given day. No flukes. But everyone here is braindead so

posted about 2 years ago

Honestly we need more people like justenjoying back. People who arent toxic regardless of whether "their region" or team wins or loses and just enioys the esport for the sake of it.

Its a never ending cycle of bullshot toxicity whenever a team loses they get trashed and then their fans get angry and then get toxic back when they win next time.

Welcome to vlr, place of braindead takes on a daily basis.

People would rather sit around and shit on each other and their regions, and make bad baits than actually constructive discussion about val esports

posted about 2 years ago

Who even said anything about NA in this post you sped?

Im just pointing out the fact that 99% of any post you make on this site its "na is dogshit". Get original buddy instead of attention grabbing

posted about 2 years ago

Nobody with a brain would count them out.

Theure realistically gonna make playoffs with fpx having subs. And given that group stage is unpredictable as fuck you rlly cant say 100% this team wins anything as international level competition is very close

posted about 2 years ago

You really only post to talk shit about other regions.

Doesnt it get tiring being a negative asswipe all the time?

Drawing is stupid, anytime im in ranked with my boys and if we end up in OT its typically the "dont draw unless ur a pussy" and it usually works to avoid it.

Meta always shifting, formats dogshit, skipping to playoffs is already bad enough.

Optic probably gonna bounce back ngl, they played okay just yay whos typically one of their two main x factors had the worst performance of his career, safe to say it prob wont happen again.

Granted Louds players also had an off day too they even said so in an interview (Sacys).

Regardless this rematch should be a banger regardless of who comes out on top and probably will springboard into playoffs by beating guild or kru in a rematch.

posted about 2 years ago

Could be the latter, optic and loud are probably the most vod reviewed teams in the world rn, so guild and kru prob did their homework. That combined with off days for players like yay and aspas lead to optic and loud both taking Ls

Whos accusing him of cheating? Lowering your in game volume =/= any sort of aimbot or actual cheat. Some ppl prob just havent seen it done before.

posted about 2 years ago

Because everyone here cant accept that meta changes and teams arent gonna be consistent dynasties internationally so they have to label everything as a fluke despite many teams being consistently good whether they won a title or not, but nobody has regular dominance which is overall good for the scene long term. But it doesnt make everything a fluke.
VLR just the hub of dogshit takes
