Oh wow. Assuming their current igl is competent, I think this is pretty positive news. With the additions of yay, nerve and now exalt being back, they're gonna have great firepower.

Mad lions only has 2 players they qualified with. So I'm assuming it's core 2. Anyway, i understand now, exalt is just subbing in for the week as far we know.
He's talking about the continuity of the roster between splits. I think you have to retain at least 2 players going from split 1 to split 2.
That doesn't really answer my question. Both steel and exalt would both count the same toward roster lock given that they both qualified together. I wanna know why steel is benched.
So is exalt back permanently? Meaning steel has been dropped. Or is he just subbing in for this week? Do we know if either of these are the case? Or do we just not know anything?
I'm not drawing any conclusions like that when we've literally only seen one other chinese team in a single appearance internationally.
Valorant isn't that popular in korea and even if it was, korea doesn't have the same potential to explode in player population that china has.
I'll just leave this here for people not understanding chinese potential in esports:

China and Korea, two individual countries, dominate everyone in league of legends. While it's less likely in valorant because of Europe's history in tac fps, it's not impossible we could see china eventually do the same here.
Actually, with lcq in mind and the spot gained for the region winning tokyo, the other regions get 4/4/5 slots. They intend for china to be it's own partnership league eventually. If anything, when their league is fully up and running, I expect them to get a 4th slot.
I know but I don't really care even if it is just about money anyway. Money is good. And even if that's the case now, chinese teams will eventually be good and deserve to be at internationals on merit alone.
You could make that argument if you want. It's a little different tho, as the potential esports population of players is gonna be several fold higher in china than in india because of culture/infrastructure. We've seen what chinese e-sports look like at full throttle in league of legends and cross-fire. The same can't be said to be true of india.
Why shouldn't they get their own slots? They're their own region by themselves. It's not like they've pulled three random teams. It'll be the 3 best performing teams in china. Japan and Brazil were trash in 2021 but they still got slots for 2022. This is no different.
Why is it too much? Last I checked, china had a population of over 1.4 billion people.
I'm not sure why people are getting so mad. The japanese and brazilian teams were trash in 2021 and still given slots at internationals at the start of 2022. China has literally 4x the population of both those countries combined and have proven to be receptive to e-sports in other titles. They will improve with time.
Seems to me people like you are just masking your bigotry with the excuse of their teams being bad.
EDG isn't the best chinese team currently. ASE is.
There are 3 ascension winners
Some of the most trash play I've ever seen out of JDT on these last two maps. Fucking absolutely throwing massive advantages from ahead for no fucking reason, round after round, disgusting.
Yea, I think five teams going 2-7 is possible.
edit: spelling
Lets go with the 5 team group at 1-8. For each of them to go 1-8, that means they've beaten a single team and lost to every other team in the league. 5 teams are A, B, C, D, E
If the one win for each of the teams goes like:
A>B
B>C
C>D
D>E
E>A
That must mean each of these teams have lost to every other team they've played. So what about B vs D? D has already beaten E and B has already beaten C, but both teams still have to lose for this to make sense. So it's not possible.
This second scenario isn't possible. Just logically think about it for two seconds. How are five teams going 1-8? How are five going 8-1? This can't happen if it's a round robin.
I didn't realize honeymoons lasted over a month. Also, how bout 100T?
googling "sen dephh wife" doesn't take long
You're right, people should definitely be condemning it more. I hope the riot staff on site are trigger happy and fucking remove anyone doing this shit the moment it starts up. It's disgusting behavior and so disrespectful to both the players and fans of teams victim to this.
And I'm saying this as a person that is almost exclusively rooting for NA teams when they face BR/Latam teams. It's just not right.
LOL. Genuinely, not a bad ranking.
No, they wouldn't
There are very few 1v3s that happen where the opponents are playing optimally. Not a surprise that's also the case here.
How so? It's been two years, the state of basic game play has significantly progressed and everyone's gotten better at the game. Of course they would lose.
Both teams would get shit on by most of the partnership teams and some NA/BR(Maybe EU too) challenger teams. Sentinels would most likely have it worse.
You think saying the expected result makes you special?
And these fuck suck noobs have been saying potter was bad coach
Hilarious
Nah, it's because of the victory against mibr AND how they looked against loud/lev
You clearly haven't watched any matches if you think that. The crowd barely exists to begin with.
He took a 7 month break. Wouldn't even be here to play if sick didn't get himself arrested. Use your brain please.
The people that think marved is gonna be benched again are coping HARD
edit: yes i know he wasn't benched, joined as 6th after the sick>jail thing
it's possible to qualify with 4 wins alone, but will depend on map differential/rnd differential or whatever tie-breaker criteria is.
They changed 2 players, the team's core is still the same. Also, since icebox is leaving the map pool, they probably haven't been practicing it and don't want to as they see it as a waste of time.
Ya'll on some cope if you legitimately think marved is being subbed as of now. It obviously depends how the match against mibr goes, but if he looks good there as well, he probably won't be hitting bench for the rest of season.
Given the player quality of the eg roster, they're doing pretty well now(In last two matches). Remember this eg core was literally 10th place at the end of last year. I do think potter needs to be criticized for holding onto this core though.
Eg core went out 7/8th in lcq last year, so 9th/10th place overall in NA last year
Hmm, leave my foot alone or play russian roulette with a 4/6 loaded pistol. I WONDER WHICH CHOICE IS CORRECT?!?! hurrrr durrrrr
