too late, china arrived

the real semen

Were all those fans chinese?

completely calm, just stating the obvious, chinese overlords are coming, Kangkang gets a statue in Beijing, this is so over

we as a community of GayMing, you, me or anyone watching this game just bared witness to the great invasion

EDG Grand FInalist (maybe winners) - <------------- WE ARE HERE
EDG trending in Chinese Socials
Honor from Lord Xi
EDG humble team so no one will chase the clout and EDG has assembled the best talent in china under one team after champs( something which american teams can't do due to salary)
EDG will have an upper hand of team cohesion over any new roster
1st ever ERA
Chinese domination of the game
Korean rivalry
Asia take over
Dead EMEA
Dead Americas

also CS2 is not as good RIGHT now, the game is slowly improving, and + if they wanted to leave, they would leave by now, they talk about it just so that valve actually improve the game, no one actually wants to leave for valorant

I feel like CS just needs NA money and then valorant will die off in the west. some analysists already suggested scoping NA valo talent and I think it's a great idea

so team who lost to fucking botster, geng who fumbled twice, and the team who didn't even make it to champs, seems reasonable

you hope but there is no guarantee

list your top 4 then

your flair gives more of a shit about CS ( not questionable) and fucking Dota, chill out homie

ru/ua talent - all in academies
WEU talent - academies/tier 2 teams
other regions - no transitoning happening.
EMEA is fucked bro :D

they won't come to valorant, there is no reason to transition at this point

at that point it won't fucking matter, no team will be able to win against them

I am getting scared that the FPS which I have just introduced myself to (valorant) is on the verge of having a chinese superteam and CS ( my beloved game) has 9999 fucking chinese teams registered to their major qualifiers, china is spreading like tumour I swear

China nationalism = EDG stays together for 5 years, shits on every single team at every champs, chinese scene catches up and top 4 of every champs is EDG-FPX-Trace-Bilibili

yep, china introduced itself to FPS, valo's done, GG WP boys, CS doesn't have them right now, only mongols

you are not getting that citizenship lil bro :(

losing to china, xd kek, chinese domination is just beginning, it's china's game now

crazy how riot still cannot implement KDA in the fucking HUD for like 4 years now

King James
Chosen One
Slim Ripper

offends all 4 regions in one thread
bitch, do you even like anyone?

kinda sad that despite Ukraine leaving ru scene due to obvious reasons, all of our talent is spread out in different teams.
like a team of kvem, sdy, demqq, npl and r1nkle is a top 5 team in the worldpotential

bet on the highest and realistic odds

source on changes in Sen and lev?

hard to upgrade with CIS buyouts costing a shit ton

they went 0-3 at fucking RMR closed qualifiers, are you on crack?

I think when ranking the management decisions, you always need to quote Jose Mourinho: ''See where they play, how they play, if they play''

that's just poor management, should have pulled out of dota and cs earlier, instead of being scammed into salaries by mid players.
They signed nealan, a tier 3 player, and the negotiations were literally peak autism (his words)
He wanted a salary of 5k dollars, but a friend of his adviced him to ask for a higher salary of 10k dollars.
he asks eg for 10k dollars and they legit go: ''Ok, you want 12k?''

all if's and but's. Just funny to me how retarded EG are as a management.
Potentially develop an era with a great team and perfect comp ❌
Fuck it all up because your org is built on scam ✅

aspas is probably a pain in the ass to comp with. either he just baits and exits you, or you blink in the beginning of the round and you are in a 4v5

like i am the first time viewer and it feels like the game is just irrelevant. it's a fucking top 2 decider game, yet the crowd is just meh.

I would love to see the footage from inside the arena, because the stream doesn't make it any better. Legit feels like a studio event after 2 rounds which ended in 50/50 situations

I refuse to believe that the crowd went full mute when EDG almost won a half buy, changing the momentum of the start of the game. Either the crowd is just fullmute or crowd-related production of riot sucks ass

if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle.

''I never lost to china'' incoming

that's why valorant and cs have such a high viewership, other games are too fucking stupid to capitalize on both valve and riot fucking up

You don't hear comms
You don't see them
It's just their in-game pov

Well CS has sites like faceit where you can just follow the game from player POVs, pure gameplay, maybe valo doesn't have it due to replay system

If they haven't done it before, they won't do it soon I guess. Both CS and Valorant are retarded, CS can't keep the game fresh with constant updates and riot fuck their esports scene.

They won't. Orgs will drop this way. You go franchising, you commit to it. You could make it semi-open with more rankings spots, but then it would split the revenue causing franchising slots to bitch about it

Never understood these people. Maybe it's just me, but I went fucking screaming when Ronaldo bicycle kicked against Juve, I jumped from my seat when Salah curved the ball from 30 metres into top bin, I screamed like a bitch when niko missed the easy hit on s1mple. That's what sports is about. Just turning into fucking golf at this point

I feel like riot just somehow make the entire esports scene just a closed circuit. Less crowd cams, franchising, 3 events per year, 2-4 teams per region.

I don't know why they won't embrace the crowd. CS has regular crowd cams, just like any other sport. Meanwhile riot focus mostly on the game, and you can just host events in studios, same effect

CS moments will always be more hype than valorant as long as riot just block the crowd

Or maybe Madrid and Shanghai were the best Masters in a long while? Saying previous champs was better and that this champs is still ok can coexist

It's rather a matter of calendar issues (previous dates clashes with the beginning of the Major Qualifier)

G2 playing feels like England in Football
Lev vs EDG is just Georgia vs Turkey at Euros.
Fuck tactics. Fuck smart plays. Pure play

Bros see 30 minutes of pre game production and go "yep, riot fell off, game is dying"
Like wait for the event to end ffs
