Damn this is closer than I was expecting

C9W

What's the point of removing these flairs when the orgs are confirmed to be coming back next year? Reject, Northeption, Acend, Alliance, G2, and Infinity are all going to have teams in 2022 I thought.

GE 13-11
kappa drops 30 trust

2nd best team plat chat?

TH, RRQ
PRX, BLD

Nice

They should’ve invited DRX or ZETA instead of Heretics

Not bad for only having a GC scene for like 3 months, I think the region will improve drastically over the next year

i agree, only thing is that I could see new NTH could being solid since they always somehow build insane teams from T2 talent

if a kr team wins out that would mean that all these other teams are pretty disappointing imo, given that majority of the top kr talent is already in the league

Who are your top 3 ascension teams?

Notable teams:
Boom
Bleed
Mith
Alter Ego
Damwon
Nongshim Redforce
Crazy Raccoon
Northeption Rebuild
Xerxia Rebuild
EDward Gaming - doubt they get to play ascension though

1. DRX
2. 2021 NU
3. 2020 TSM

Current I would probably say DRX, T1, and DNG

Chile, Canada, Turkey, and Indonesia would all also be better imo

the decision making on that last round lmfao

National World Cup for league? Wouldn’t that just make the West even less competitive with KR/CN?

Best crowd is actually an NA one. They’re pretty loud, unbiased, and don’t go after the players, Riot need to host an event there in 2023

+Sylvan and Ssun ^-^

i agree with everything except for the talent pool. for being a single country kr actually has some pretty solid talent in val imo. probably the most t1 talent out of any country in Asia (even with the game being incredibly popular in Japan)

Gen.G

holy, why are you so aggressive 24/7

1. EA = KR/JP/CN, teams from those three regions are "East Asian", that's literally not even up for argumentation
2. What team did we overate other than DK? DRX are literally better than PRX. ONS did well in the LCQ. Gen.G and T1 are considered middle of the pack. CNJ almost beat TS lol.
3. We all know that CN val gets clapped by DRX and my 'argument' was just saying that you underrate JP/KR/CN teams
4. cry is absolutely free

KONE can too, to be honest I think you guys just like to overate APAC teams and underate EA teams

I mean a half power CNJ almost beat TS ffs

thanks Sprout!

I’ll just list you my top 10 favorite matches from international events :)

NU vs V1 - Reykjavik 2021
FNC vs SEN (Grand Final) - Reykjavik 2021
100T vs GMB - Berlin 2021
100T vs ACE - Berlin 2021
KRU vs GMB - Champions 2021
DRX vs OPTIC - Reykjavik 2022
PRX vs FPX - Copenhagen 2022
DRX vs FPX (Upper Bracket) - Champions 2022
DRX vs OPTIC - Champions 2022
LOUD vs OPTIC (Upper Bracket) - Champions 2022

the storylines were fucking phenomenal this year

great in cs as well!

If you were to do it statistically i think it would probably be OPTIC/NV, FNC, and DRX/VS just based off of consistently making it to LANs over the past 2 years, even if teams like GMB, LOUD, FPX, and SEN had higher peaks

lmfao, why do all the comments that shit on the LPL magically go from +5 to -1 upvotes on this site

game 4 was just a massacre

it feels wrong to cheer against faker, but i want to see deft go out with a bang

so happy drx won, now we get to watch deft vs faker. either faker gets his 4th worlds title or deft ends his career on a drx cinderella run :)

DEFT VS FAKER LFGGGG

Favorite Sport : lacrosse
Favorite Music Genre : r&b
Favorite Music Artist : the weeknd
Favorite Youtuber : lemmino
Favorite School Subject : math
Favorite Valorant Team Currently : T1
Favorite Valorant Team OF ALL TIME : DRX
Favorite VLR User : idk archetype maybe

KR vs CN

I’ll see you guys in a month 🫡

cs gives 16/24 slots to a single region
league gives a max of 4/24 slots per region

cs is way more of a one region game then league cause, even if only one region is winning, most regions actually play the game and Riot gives a chance to even the worst regions

so free

Gen.G, TS*

We will change the name of the game to Counter-Counter Strike to fix this

VPL, VAL, VEL

i thought it was just limited to SEA/SA teams, but it'd be cool if the last three slots went to say DRX, EDG, and ZETA

bro came prepared

wdym?

TS is one of the best IGLs in KR other than stax/zest, k1ng is one of the best aimers in KR, eKo was great in the EA LCQ, and Secret is a great upcoming talent as a 6th man

Only player that’s a questionable pickup is iNTRO imo, everyone else deserves their spot

I'm surprised he rated Talon so low

Hollow Knight

I never learned Japanese in school cause we took English classes instead, so I would say google translate for a majority of them. I can only think of a few Korean players, like Astell, who seem to be fluent in Japanese. So probably just google translate

lmfao, someone really said “what team can realistically beat Fnatic”

I mean if he was able to beat out Lakia in tryouts, there has to be something special about him

You mean unofficially?

Marved, nukkye, JUGi, BCJ, and Dicey are some notable ones still not signed
