AMER: SEN not qualifying for madrid, dropping sacy and pick up trent (SEN signs G2 player crazy ikr)
EMEA: enghhh masterclass takes KC to international events.
APAC: people keep hyping Yay, but it'll be xccurate taking T1 into international tournament playoffs.
CN: JDG will be your 2nd EDG, performing well at internationals and people gonna love the coach cause of his name.

TS 9 - 10 PRX

Gen.G: Not only they have a former DFM coach, their IGL is NOT Kim. Zest is Free Agent ffs.

hyperbanjo the JP jamesff

PRX/T1 (Based off many preparation during OFF//SEASON), T1 feels more ready as a team compared to yay 1st timer performance on bleed to produce immediate results of qualifying.

surely they won't throw the 2 games.

2 of the korea teams are in the same group

T1 group A
DRX group B
Gen.G group C

I feel like SEN has fluctuation in terms on consistency, thats why they're not favourite or top contenders. They won Afreeca TV beating PRX. Also I didn't downvote you, no need to apologise.

3 KR teams = 3 BR teams get separated (A/B/C)
6 SA/SEA teams = 6 NA teams = 2/2/2
2 JP teams = 2 LATAM teams.

It similar and could follow Pacific. How else would u get NA watchers to give a damn and watch BR/LATAM in group B?

Seoldam's team always cursed, they can't beat decent team. SEN is decent team.

3 BR teams split into Group A/B/C (Loud A/B)
The 6 NA teams: have 2 on each A/B/C
LEV goes to either A/B separate from EG (Not same group as LOUD)
Kru goes to A/B that doesn't have LEV.

Regional distribution.

Seoldam's team (Riddle) didn't even qualify to JP Split 1.

Scream & Nivera's Halal snack pack (google it) would be great.

mods finally woke up

• I feel like for the pacific all 3 korean teams get separated (A/B/C), so I would assume all 3 BR teams will be in different group as well.
• 6 SA/SEA teams = 6 NA teams meaning the distribution of NA teams would be 2/2/2
• 2 JP teams = 2 LATAM teams meaning they would be in different group as well.

Rising and Falling Intonation. With rising intonation you have to raise slightly the pitch at the end of the sentence, whereas with falling intonation you go down a bit. o0o0o

cringe will always be part of NA culture, they use that word more than any other region.

T1 2 -1 BLD
Offseason T1 shows they can beat TL, where as Bleed lost to ZETA/NAVI even though Yay wasn't playing. I just feel like T1 is more ready/prepped after their many offseason turney. Bleed would probably not in the best top form on their 1st ever game with Yay.

EMEA and Americas later cause timezone diff

imagine Mossanda from Palworld

quick correction, I think you meant TS 2-0 TLN. Would be funny if DFM beat TLN tho.

iZu, xccurate, Jemkin

APAC ascension winner right here.

great for costs too. Disguised don't have to give NA inflated salaries, but instead give local Asia based salaries.

I'd say:

1. Something
2. Jinggg
3. Buzz
4. Sayaplayer
5. Dep

DFM vs GenG map 2 Fracture. DFM destroyed Gen.G 13-4.

Stew/Jemkin/Only1 (SCARZ) I'm looking forward to watch.

I remember watching a TS vlog where Warbirds specifically said they prep super heavily in advance on teams such as PRX and DRX as soon as they landed in Korea. He said the key to qualifying for international tournament was beating DRX and PRX. Rightly so TS beat PRX and managed to win 1st map against DRX on Haven with the famous "Go A strats" but lost map 2 and 3 against DRX.

The problem with TS is their consistency. T1 managed to qualify for every international turney cause they only to DRX/PRX and the 1 case of Peak early season GenG, but other than that they didn't lose any other pacific team. Every wins matters for getting points in this years season split (1 & 2), consistency matters and TS can't afford to lose to teams like weakened ZETA or the improved RRQ.

SCARZ. This January they sign a korean import duelist Only1 to accompany Lumo (their other import). They also sign 2 more coaches to further strengthen their roster from last years ascension. Should be a strong challenger to Fennel.

google: GR Agency. Hope that helps.

Yoru - f0rsakeN
The agent is built around chaos and misinformation. Tenz's Yoru too passive/structured whilst f0rsakeN's Yoru the complete opposite of that.

Phoenix - Jinggg
Jinggg has many molly lineups used in maps especially in pearl. His aggressive nature of always entering site with the ult is suited for the agent more than sick. If you're doing only 1 player for each agent, I get it.

Gekko - CGRS
he's a gekko main.

Astra - sScary
There's a reason why APAC plays a LOT of astra compared to other region. I still remember his astra smoke on Garage/Mid doors that was epic.

Gekko - CGRS

Jinggg - Pokka Jasmine Green Tea

sScary carry bleed in ascension. Still one of the best controller in the game. PRX knows how good he is.

The announcement video is sick ngl, but team still mid at best.
