EG locked their starting 5 for Tokyo before starting demon1, so BCJ would come back in place from him iirc

He could, but hard finding a team that would pick him up. Only teams left that haven't used their imports are KR teams, DFM, zeta, and ts I believe. Among those I only see possibly DFM picking him up.

No, not really. He's a good ranked player from what I've seen, but competitively no.

Absolutely insane how much better Jadeite have gotten since split 1

Wasn't 2022 louds first year? Were they really a long term project.

I think Jett plays are more impressive, but seeing Yay clips where he just destroys using the headhunter were very satisfying to watch.

People too often take one area they are good at (roster leaks in this case) and let their ego expand it into being good at everything. Don't pay attention to him, it's like expecting someone baiting on VLR to actually have a good opinion regarding roster changes.

The most impressive thing in the Americas league so far is that MIBR managed to lose to SEN fracture.

They're up 2-0, not like he's raging that hard. Man's is just stupid

Shoutout to Carlos for getting this team into franchising so they could save NA. Truly playing 4d chess.

This DRX lineup looks so good, would be awesome if they could win the first masters in Asia.

Brazil and JP had very few wins in their first year at LANs. Then look what happened, Brazil won champions, and JP got 3rd at Reykjavik. It wasn't in an official league until this year, and they still managed to flawlessly win the East Asia LCQ. Give them time, and they'll grow as a region.

Mary, easily.

Wouldn't be surprised if Tenz just takes the rest of the season off, works better for everyone imo.

It's not even mid

It obviously wasn't great, but I wasn't expecting too much tbh. You're never going to get Optic Yay back on DSG, but similar to what other people have said, we're probably going to see ABX Yay again.

I tried watching the CN highlights, but I don't know Mandarin so I couldn't pick it out.

Nvm, found it, it was Noyn. https://twitter.com/Noynvlr/status/1645552132051935233

I remember seeing it earlier in the week, I'll reply if I can find it. I believe it was by a leaker from Brazil that wasn't Noyn.

I honestly think FUR has a real shot at winning. LOUD looked like they could lose against C9 and MIBR, and from what we've seen so far, FUR looks better than both of those teams.

There was a leak earlier in the season that Tenz was always going to be subbed out eventually so that he could take a break to be with his fiance. They're most likely just waiting till Marved gets his visa.

It is kinda odd considering how good he was on Jett before Chamber. Gotta let FNS and Chet cook tho.

Thanks, will take a look :)

There's a mobile app I found called Strafe that kinda does it, but it's super outdated with some info (i.e. it still thinks FPX val is a Swedish team), and it doesn't have brackets or qual details. But at least you can look at the games.

I feel like I lose half my brain cells when I try to look at the website. It's pretty terrible for newcomers I think.

I've been trying to get into watching lol esports recently, but I really have like 0 clue how anything works with qualifying for events. Are there any websites that are kinda like VLR where you can see which events qualify teams for different events and you can see brackets, that aren't the Lolesports website?

Having good synergy and roles >>> individual talent of your roster any day. Also people tend to forget how hard leaf and xeppaa can go.

He's the GM, what do you expect him to say? "Yeah, we're actually pretty shit."

Hot take, but watching VCT with an insane chamber was actually kinda fun. Must've been hell to play tho.

People shit on Runi and Jakee too much because they weren't t1 players. Never doubt mCe scouting.

I think it's fair to say C9 are favorites to make playoffs at least at 6th. They've looked pretty good outside of the LOUD game, which they didn't look that bad in. Only 4-2 tho, still time to lose.

He's a great Sova/initiator, but ever since he had the whole clutch/king before champs I swear I've seen 1 or 2 clutches. Maybe I'm just missing them, but I feel like that shit cursed him.

People are more aware of how to counter nAts lurk then back in 2021. People talk about how they don't want him on KJ because he can't lurk, but nowadays, his lurk isn't getting anywhere near the same value as it used to. But that's just my opinion.

Would be funny if V1 won it, but almost certainly KC.

I think theres a chance MIBR beat sentinels, at least just off the fact they took a map off loud. I don't see C9, EG, or KRU beating them though.

To try to be good faith, she probably isn't aware of George's criticizing in the past and was reading into his tweet something that wasn't there. There are probably quite a few people that are legitimately being sexist on Twitter about it, and she kinda got lost and attributed it to George.

Their GC team looks good

It's pretty tiring to see something like this when the whole point of the EG roster concept was so Potter could specifically mold players that weren't traditional T1 stars into that. The lack of results from that is something that you can legitimately question Potter for. This tweet, at least for me, doesn't feel like a defense for Potter, but more of a defense for a woman that is coaching t1 Valorant, if that makes sense.

"[no one] ask[s] questions about their "ability to lead." People have said all the time that there are coaches that shouldn't be coaches because they aren't capable of performing well, Rawkus is one that comes to mind. IMO, this is the first time that Potter's gotten a large amount of pushback, or criticism, for most of her career at EG, she's been pretty well-regarded. People just like saying shit like this because it lets them get some ego from virtue signaling.

People pretending like Yay isn't going to be signed by a Tier 1 team next season. They only started watching since chamber meta so they didn't see how good he was on Jett back in 2021.

No way Talon goes 0-9. They gotta beat at least DFM

I think he really meshes well into the PRX style of play, W gaming

I wasn't able to watch the game when it happened, but in his game against T1, I think he looked really good.

Thoughts on him?

I knew most people thought that he was just smurfing against JP, but he looks like he could be a really good player in the future. I know he isn't dropping 130 or whatever a series, but he definitely looks really solid IMO.

Gotta be dicey,

Why would you sub out BCJ over Jawgemo if demon1 is going to be playing? Surely bcj can play harbor.

Laz>>>>>>>>>

Laz better

Don't do my mans bcj like that

I'm guessing constant 3rd place finish

Doesn't he literally have something on his stream that says he isn't comfortable in English yet?
