Arguing with an APAC fan
You are an EU frog shut the fuck up.
Fnatic this event. Wanted to support them but the delusional EU baiters need a reality check.
You have to be stupid if you think that the org matters and not the team itself.
The Paper Rex roster could be signed by any other org and they would still be the same team. While if Paper Rex signed different players, it would be a different team.
Just take the L and move on.
They lost to SMB with a different roster.
With the current roster they are still 6-0.
They replaced Shiba who was really struggling and basically lied to his mom about going to Berlin because of unsupportive parents.
Then you have Jingg who is easily top raze in the world and has a much better environment around him.
The thing is EU has so many slots they can just fight between each other and manage to get top 4
They only helped out the content creation + sponsor opportunities for GE.
Its basically like a company hiring a HR specialisation company to hire for them.
They do not manage GE in any manner.
It says its possible that KR is getting 3-4 slots but that does not make sense as franchising does not care about subregion and just sees APAC as a whole. If it cared about subregions like KR getting 3-4 slots then other regions like South Asia and Oceania would be guaranteed 1 slots but we know that is just not true.
Idk about the Dallas event but CSGO events hosted in Asia, especially Beijing had some of the saddest crowds ever.
Moreover, just look at the Tokyo LAN, literally 20K people showed up for it.
Valorant has a huuuge fanbase in Asia, I think if Rito hosts any event in Asia 10K people at least would join for sure.
Even Mumbai will have multiple thousands of people coming to watch if an international LAN takes place and the tickets are cheap. Valorant is pretty big here.
So country does matter and CSGO is not immune to this rule either. Idk what Rito expected when they hosted the event in Denmark the birthplace of Astralis.
Yeah IG, its a matter of purchasing power. The Uber driver also has to make enough money to support his expenditure.
India has everything for cheap for comparison. So people do not need to make insane amounts to money to live good lives.
He is not wrong though. SG is one of the richest countries.
If you are still living the "Fnatic looks so weak even full sense will beat them" narrative then I don't know what to tell you.
wdym? Fnatic was a solid team even and made top 8 they just got upset by KRU who were really amazing during champs.
When have I said KRU is not a good team.
Altho they have not been as good as DRX still.
KRU in masters 1 Reykjavik 2021 was probably not as good as Nuturn the KR counterpart.
Moreover, a lot of their series have not looked competitive against actual top-quality teams. DRX has looked much better overall making playoffs in pretty much all tournaments except 1.
Remember Masters Berlin where DRX was placed in the group of death? Everyone was unsure if DRX will make it out but they topped their group and it was not even close.
I don't think it is wrong to say that they are contenders for the trophy in every tournament they walk into. They just have some weird affinity with group stage matches and some sort of allergy to lower bracket games.
As I said before, They are not one of those "100% winning this tournament" teams like Fnatic was this masters nor those teams you are unsure about coming into playoffs like Leviatan and XSET. You know they will always get a top 8 at least or top 4 finish in the tournament. It is just one of those tournaments they need where the stars align and they lift a trophy. Because they definitely seem to show the potential to do so.
Just balls of steel, not that deep in you.
C9 and fnatic are still good teams though?
Observable pattern: DRX loses to actual good teams that end up winning the event/finalists or placing at least top 3. DRX has never lost to a no-namer team, at least as far as I remember.
Always lost to the likes of Gambit, Optic, Zeta etc.
That places them between the top teams and the underdogs very consistently. Not top 3 but any one of these masters they might make the run they are looking for.
Man forgot the 13-5 on breeze. Don't let the 11-13 fool you. DRX were in a good lead, they took their sweet time to close the match out.
Only 1 map tho. DRX on other maps was not close.
Without a 4v5 I can't
That is not true for all teams.
PRX seems pretty comfortable going directly into playoffs.
DRX would also greatly benefit from directly skipping groups. They are known for executing set plays. Teams counter-strat them after watching most of their good maps in the groups. It really hurts their chances. However, they are always forced to play in group stages.
aged like milk kept out in the sun.
Classic EMEA "Does not stand up to what I said" Stan
I thought you deleted your account already
Boomers made it to playoffs in champs and had a solid game against Gambit.
Do you have a free supply of copium?
2nd seed beat Optic and had a very good game against Liquid.
If you think EMEA has 3-5 teams, Team Secret, ONIC are waiting for you back at home.
If people did not gett the joke, I am talking about EMEA making excuses.
KEKW man really thought this was going to go 13-0
A lot of baiter fake flag as Indians just to troll.
You just getting baited.
Talking trash and making fun of someone's medical condition cannot be compared.
XSET vs Lev Haven has been literally like watching PRX vs PRX except when PRX players are drunk.
Even PRX cannot handle this level of chaos.
Edit: MB I meant to make this thread 20 mins later.
Man smoked 5Kg of weed before typing this.
Forsaken could literally not speak lol. Those are mild symptoms for a disease that is potentially lethal.
Forsaken has a sore throat and a runny nose if you saw his camera. Definitely impacts gameplay a bit.
Most of those countries except USA and Canada are non-existent in Valorant like Mexico.
The no import limit from different countries to allow mixed teams makes so much sense. Teams in APAC struggle real hard because there is a 3 player minimum requirement even within APAC.
Makes teams like Xerxia and Team Secret, Zeta and DRX look so much better that they are 1 country teams yet still able to perform relatively good in the international stage.
Honestly feels great that way.
