So does GenG automatically qualify with champ points? or to they need to go through playoffs? and if so what is the point of champ points

your apac list is kinda bad:
IMO this should be changed
t1 = izu
Rrq = lmemore
Talon = jitboys by far
ts = invy

I mean pandering to the majority of their playerbase and especially to the playerbase that spends $$$ are teens who usually are also kpop stans too

i mean i would focus on cry0 being a fraud yet again, but you do you

GE was inconsistent but the talon was 50/50 and they just lost

this year doesn't count it starts from the 2025 season and onward my guy

Leaking private info is always wrong

Good changes, but imagine the scenario where both the ascension teams of a region goes to the finals of champs. Your saying the 2nd best team itw has to go challengers, meanwhile a partner team that goes winless can stay GTFO

Bro who tf is gonna get playing time in madrid

2022 mako was top 3 itw, peak karon is 3rd in his team

clear answer is juicy, should've been in franchising already if not for his age

If you think that than is redgar > mako, karon is the 3rd best player on the team while mako is the best

Icy is a regional level duelist, he's not built for the international stage where all the best duelist from each regions are there

capable ≠ producing

i forgot meiy, but dep is very inconsistent rn to be world class

brother is stuck in 2023 sugarzero would be off roster on any playoff pacific teams

Bro we literally see them losing aim duels all the time except for laz

record carries over

Except for Laz there is 0 world class players from japan

Actually tougher for international pacific teams because they cant rally have time for scrims/rest and have to face team that just watch their stratbook and scrim the whole time

With celtics system probably not but would definitely fit with most teams

nah just idk why but japanese players are so weak mechanically so they can't execute his strats that well

Cope. Better than madrid

BRO THE FACT THAT HE WON HIS LAST TROPHY 14 YEARS AGO IN CHINA AS WELL. IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS

I mean achillios and paperthin could've casted their first grand finals with a pacific team in it and would've been so sick

This banger series could've been casted by achillios and paperthin and would've been so sick and we got stuck with this duo

finally facing a top 5 duelist in the tournament

yeah i don't think it's a library but the crowd definitely heavily favors TH

Im watching on mute straight hating

Genuinely worst casters in the event casting grand finals and also the only casters that doesn't have a team in the grand finals, riot throwing so hard

+2 that guy babybay didn't even try tier 2 and just got franchising. Fucking sully and upmind deserve it more and they retired just cause riot cares more about big names rather than casting talent

they keep pushing doug and babybay into our faces makes me hate them more

I think top 4 is definitely possible if they didn't get the bad draws again

Only lost to geng and th and both of the matches could've gone either way

It's doing crazy numbers on chinese streaming services which all of them are bigger than twitch :)

their playstyle is very not fan friendly compare to the other teams in the competition

achillios definitely carries but paperthin is better by himself rather than doug or babybay

very hype only for certain teams, and creates fake hype sometimes that seems very forced

By far the worst casting duo in franchising imo, i genuinely put the stream on mute when i hear them

paperthin and achillios casting this means doug and babybay final cast? WHY RIOT YOU HAD ONE GOOD CASTING PAIR AND YOUR GIVING US THE WORST FOR THE FINALS

Mfer this ain't a show, the actual games have been very close and entertaining. Alot of OTs and close end to series, this tournament has been the best since last champions by far

Bro shanghai matches were so entertaining, unlike madrid which was genuinely so boring

Yeah recency bias is one helluva drug

Navi IM? then yes

Everybody acts tough when they're up

you forgot that tvirusluke is the only one who speaks english so he translate for vookashu and also the igl meanwhile icy ☠️

losing 2 people being top 2 players in sen and 100t would cause that

then sen shouldn't be here no? they have two very different rosters

why is NRG + Optic a thing? they're two very different orgs

= Man city defending liverpool 99 points and arsenal this year
