KRU vs Liquid could be dangerous for Liquid, given the fact that it’s a rematch

I expect his performance on Raze to be insane, although I think his Skye/Sova performance will be pretty average

Expecting him to be slightly less impactful than say a Sacy/Heat

Probably PRX

DK’s new superteam has the potential to be better though

Absolute banger of a match

I’m not sure if people have seen the news already, but he ended up going to Detonation Gaming

Honestly just another example of why KR and JP should be merged into the East Asia region

I’m excited for that match because we might actually see VS’s Fracture
Apparently it’s their best map, which I don’t doubt with stax on Breach

stax and maKo

pretty sure the admins have to individually take away your stars, so at this point I think they are just messing with you

Probably the Brazilian teams

bruh, I had the 13-0 copypaste ready and than XSET decided to throw a 5v2

Honestly could put up a decent fight this tournament as long as they don't come with their last second Iceland comps (keep the gtn yoru tho)

FNC aren’t as good as the rest of the EMEA representatives, but they aren’t that bad imo…

all I can say is pain. 🥺

maybe they are going to Zeta Division or pursuing content creation?

Idk about other regions, but Champions Tour KR just announced that F4Q will reunite to do a Champions watch party together

Good work C9W :)

Did the Envy curse get them?

just read this thread

Nah, I'm 99.99% sure that the groups will get drawn like Berlin

edit: also pretty sure that it would be A vs D and B vs C anyway

Obviously continue to go to the gym and maybe, if you don't know how to already, learn how to cook

Dang, even on Icebox?

I feel like Shahzam's awp single handedly won maps for them while, no offense to TenZ, but I feel like his awp is a lot more inconsistent

Rip :(

I think it's VS 55% to 45% Liquid

I think Liquid rely a little more on individual plays than VS and if Jamppi has a bad day, which he has been prone to in the past, I think it would be tough for Liquid to pull through

Could we please get a flair for the Guard?

The problem with Psalm is that he lacked the firepower to play the duelist role for DIG

On the other hand, his Sova was actually pretty fucking good, which is what I’m guessing landed him a spot on the team

Gambit
Vision Strikers
Team Liquid
Sentinels

Noice, I was in it for like 3 seconds

Hopefuly he plays Skye/Phoenix for the team

But the script says CR are supposed to 3-0 Gambit in the finals (13-1 on all three maps)

Ronaldo = 🐐

That's really messed up

Drone is back?
LFG

I agree with most of your list, but where would you rank DK?

When TNL still had Hate and eKo, I could confidently say that TNL were better than Damwon

After their recent roster change though, TNL look a lot weaker than they were previously imo :<

Lmao, I meant to edit something else

KR: Vision Strikers, Damwon
JP:Crazy Racoon, Northeption
SEA: Full Sense, Paper Rex, BOOM, South Built, Secret

The last slot could be: X10, Louvre, Alter Ego

Might get some hate, but I think VLT and GE are probably around the 10-12 range (hard to judge VLT without their IGL)

Although I’m not sure how great his English is, would people be happy getting solo as a coach?

Heartbreaking loss for VLT, back to back 11-13’s

On the other hand, Louvre 100% deserve to get signed

What makes this funnier is that they were literally on the same team

I believe in Xeta Supremacy

Seven Potentially Leaving 100T

Although unlikely, I hope literally any region other than NA or EU win Champions, just to see EU and NA stop arguing for two seconds

When I hit 50 ping I feel like my game is super buggy

I cant even imagine what it’s like when you are on 100 ping playing against people on 10 ping

True, ping would be a problem

Maybe Riot could do the SEA playoffs in two phases:

Phase 1: Same format as the normal SEA playoffs (Round Robin with 16 SEA teams), top two teams from each group advance

Phase 2: Combine the 8 advancing SEA teams and the top 2 SA teams (from their own circuit) for a 10 team double elimination playoff bracket, which would be on LAN

Obviously this couldn’t currently happen with Covid, but I think it could work if things lighten up in 2022

Genuine question: how many good SEA teams are there than?

JP + KR
SEA + SA
LATAM + BR

Riot should merge JP and KR into one region for the VCT 2022 and label it the 'East Asia' region
JP nearly has more T1 Korean players than KR itself at this point, with nearly every Japanese team (aside from Zeta and Reject) choosing to run their max of two Korean players

Btw, here's a list of notable Korean players already on Japanese teams:

Medusa (Crazy Racoon)
Bazzi (Crazy Racoon)
Munchkin (Crazy Racoon)
Seoldam (Northeption)
Astell (Northeption)
allow (Jadenite)
Hate (Jadenite)
TENSAI (Fennel)
Jinx (Fennel)
eKo (Reignite)
Gangpin (Sengoku)
kobra (Sengoku)
LOB (FAV)
Suggest (Rumoured)

I think creating a new East Asia region would benefit both scenes and help them grow in different ways (KR gets more viewership, JP gets better players)

Lemme know your guys' thoughts on combining the scenes

Not what I was trying to say, I think SA deserves at least slots into SEA playoffs and (if Masters/Champions is a 24 team format) a direct slot, since I do think the region still needs time to develop

What I was trying to say is that calling LATAM/KR one team regions and then SA a two team region is a bit unfair because ex-Australs and DK are probably better than GE/VLT and should be included if that's the level it takes to be noted, even if they aren't the same level as the other top team from their region

Sinatraa pioneered the Frenzy meta

Thought this was pretty much already confirmed
