rent free 🤣🫵

Skrossi my generous king gives up and coming talents their chance to play while testing them to carry him so they could get the attention they deserve.

Mate, we're like halfway through the first damn match week of split 1. way too early

Mamma mia
Ferrari disaster class strikes yet again

seemingly bad work ethic is his biggest bane

That'll mean they'll always get crushed by NA teams

you ain't cooking with this

Tha's what I'm saying. Slandering his friend on public interview is low af

I'd say a team to support is what you naturally acquire, not something someone tells you to do

His attitude, especially his arrogance against Tsunoda makes it even worse. I've got a reason to watch F1 this season thanks to him tho.

nah, he was taking so much info. Multiple rounds they won just out of calls based on info he gained. Not gonna be the case as duelist.

The fuck you on. Jinboong is saving their ass and Gyen played better in map 1

both. DFM making way too many silly mistakes

yeah, that's why I think he has good potential

Not really the case if he dies where he doen't need to because he overheated

In t2 he must have been able to just aim diff everyone whenever he goes in, but same can't be said for t1

This kid plays absolutely without fear, both in good and bad ways. His kills are very impactful but he overheats way too often. Good potential but as of now, needs to learn much more and learn the differences between playing fearless and brainless.

Actually, going around Japanese forums, they're saying that Kato was pretty upset today, so who knows. I've read that he expected them to win today seeing the early game of Pearl, was saying that they ain't winning shit against SG or FL if they play like this, and would have some conversation with the team after this. From what I know Kato was never this upset before from MRSH losing

I don't watch him either. The only person I watch from MRSH is Bijou, and on a serious note, as long as Murash attracts viewers, he'll continue imo. It was more of a half-joke about how bad they were losing for the first 6 rounds.

MRSH Haven first half was getting bodied so bad, got me worried that Kato will lose interest in his team lmao

Pearl Esperanza was something. Man heard people talk him shit and showed the dawg he got in him. Haven was Absol and friends.

Which is why T1, other Korean orgs and Chinese orgs are trying to hold one-off big arena events like homeground, to get that sweet ticket sale revenue going.

Inspire Arena was in a dire financial situation and was taken over by bonds holder from the original owner, last I've heard. Maybe it's a bit cheaper now to rent.

0/8

Forgot to add that the interview was conducted on January, before the stage 1 group draws. Though he also said "... homeground this summer..." so I'm pretty sure that the homeground event will be held during one of the Stage 2 weeks. So the away team would mostly depend on which teams are placed in the same group as T1 for Stage 2.

Though he also mentioned that Riot has approved two homeground events to be held this year, so if there are to be two homeground events indeed, one before MSI/Toronto and one after, then amongst the mentioned teams, only Zeta is in the same group with T1 for Stage 1.

Of course, Riot approving two events doesn't mean T1 will indeed host two events and as of now, it sounds like there's only going to be one homeground weekend this year. We'll see.

They are continuing this after their League homeground match against KT in LCK last year. 3 days-long event, of which 1 day will be Valo Pacific match. Don't know if the match will be from stage 1 or 2. Venue will be Inspire Arena, where Champions Seoul KO stage was held last year.

They're still looking for an away tean, and Joe mentions Zeta, GenG, PRX, as preferred opponents.

滿漢大餐. Absolutely goated ramen

How come no one say stracciatella

Maybe Masters in Busan or something like that, but I don't think Champs will be held again in Korea any soon. Though the Korean viewership is already more than double of highest peak from last year, so maybe. I think Champions in Japan is long overdue.

Following patterns 26 Master will be in EMEA and China, and 2027 Champs is already known as to be held in the Americas.

Though sounds like a nice lineup. 25 Ascension Singapore, 27 Masters Jakarta and 28 Champions Osaka/Singapore

Would that be the first major espoets LAN even in OCE?

would be fire ngl

If Indian org wins this year's Ascension

So, following the patterns in franchising era and Riot's usual doings fro MSI and Worlds, next Masters in APAC will be in 2027, followed by Champs in 2028. Where do you want them?

I think Masters in Indonesia (Masters Nusantara🗿) or Singapore would be quite hype and I'd really want to see Champs in Tokyo, but for that the Japanese teams would need to step up big time so we don't have another Master's Tokyo situation.

sorry mate i'll cut you some slack

what's the original pasta?

blud never heard of global submarine cable network 💀

That's not how it works

Tbf NFX was met with a lot of backlash and Foy probably didn't expect that.

He said to Ascension, not from Ascension.

Is it still the same this year? I've guessed that there would be more teams from each CL considering SEA is now SEA.

keep crying

This is even truer than before. Bunch of clowns.

They realized that with 2 spots on line, they never qualify for main stage and with that, no shotnon Ascension this year so they quickly dipped out, Honestly smart.

They released 3 of their players.

Your opinion? I think the kick off order will stay the same. People might be too high on NS, although I think they are indeed better than RRQ, and TLN will solidify their 4th position. Maybe even 3rd depending on how GenG rebuild goes?

On the side note, from what I've gathered browsing, GenG is trying out Jaxe, Ash, Estrella and Suggest. If Estrella really gets traded to GenG, who will RRQ get as his replacement?

If we're talking about who's got the best chance to land on tier 1, gotta talk about where the demand lies is in tier 1 teams. Even if you're doing good in T2, doesn't really matter if the spot's already taken by good, proven players in tier 1. Although there were a few instances where a SEA team tried to get a Korean player (PRX) or has one (RRQ), I think it's still unlikely that a new Korean player will get a spot in one of the SEA teams atm. That leaves us with the Japanese and Korean teams. Looking at the rosters, if the teams were to look out for new players, I think it's going to either be an initiator player or a sentinel player.

So from that perspective, exa, DH, SID, cabeza and Zynx are imo most likely to earn a spot in tier 1 in the near future.

He was asking about Korean tier 2 players, including those who are playing in Japan, with potential to join tier 1 to watch out for. Not for players that you think that don't deserve to be in VCJ. Like I mostly don't mind if you hate imports or Koreans or whatever in Japan, but don't bring that to a thread where we aren't even discussing about it.

That's too much to ask from nt kub nong bots

Bro that's not even what he's asking about. We get that you hate Koreans playing in Japanese tier 2 but you're really getting obnoxious lately with the non-stop rant.
