Did EDG get to this level with just raw aim alone?

It was a bad showing today, but I think they will bounce back from this.

Who knows how Derke vs Chichooo would go?

Didn't EDG win 4 of the 5 rounds before that last tech pause, especially the one that led to a timeout & pause by T1? It's a bold comment to make that they would have the momentum.

Did they deliver in the last two rounds to the OT?

It's just my luck that when I have enough time to engage in discussions, all threads are about non-trivial stuff. XD

No, you should definitely not ignore criminals, especially pedophiles.

What a weird example in opposition to my post. Posting a fanart does not hurt anyone. If Zellsis were bothered by it, he would have said something. If he didn't, why are you offended on his behalf?

And if you choose not to ignore this, are you also fine with people calling out sensitive jokes or potentially offensive actions? You clearly aren't, which is why you opened another thread about it.

Posting such a fanart is not worse than a professional gamer/streamer making a sensitive/controversial joke. I just find it weird that you are okay with one thing but not the other.

That's why he body-blocked KangKang on Fracture :D

I just noticed that you also started another thred in which you said:

todays society and cancel culture, make it impossible for people say things and express their opinion/emotions, without being judged if you even remotely said something offensive, i miss before covid time, when nobody gaf about this woke shit

Surely you are aware of how hypocritical your messages are, right? How is that fanart different from the opinions/emotions you mentioned there?

Fanarts are a part of every fandom culture. Not just kpop, not just video games. Literally every popular thing will have a fan community, and there will be fanarts and fanfics you won't like. No one is trying to force you to like them or consume them. And I doubt the artists are exactly looking forward to the attention of people judging them for their posts.

If you don't like something, don't engage with it.

Or you are projecting your own feelings and speculating about a hidden meaning behind Zellsis' tweets. If I remember correctly, that fan said she would draw it if SEN lost. Maybe he really thought it was funny. (And did the fan even tag him?)

I personally don't like any of such fanart/fanfic and similar media, but complaining about it or shaming is just as cringey and "soft" as the complaint about the existence of fanarts and "kpopfication" that has been going on lately, if note moreso. Let people enjoy the game however they want and thrive within their communities. We might not like the fanart but it doesn't cause any harm.

If KK didn't pop off in such a fashion during the grand finals, you could make the exact same argument in Seoul too. The same could happen again if the script gods decide to make is a KK vs Derke show in the grand finals. The event is even highlighting the duelists, so the aura is there.

Though I bet Chichoo will be extra fired up by the vintage nAts play he's been watching for the past two days :) So I am relatively sure he'll continue to do impressive stuff and lead the MVP race for EDG for a while. And on a personal note, I do want it for him. He's a beast.

Different tournament, same script. EDG vs. EMEA favorites.

VLR threads are being flooded by the baiters who are jealous that their team doesn't have a nAts.

The salt from yesterday is strong in this thread 😅

You have a point, but after the disappointing results, don't you have to think if they fit into the team as well as you hoped & try something else?

While reading your post, I was thinking about how EDG transformed into a championship-winning team with the addition of S1mon and changing their IGL to Nobody, all within a month.

Bang and Narrate are great players but SEN needs to find ways to meshing them into the roles that will elevate their teamwork. Team synergy isn't the only problem, in my opinion.

It's a fair opinion to have G2 as still your favorite, but a statement like "G2 winning Bangkok fairly easily" is outrageous, especially after today's game. Not when all #1 seeds are looking insane.

This was my dream grand finals match-up. My heart wants EDG to win it all, of course, but I am sure it will be a great match tomorrow.
