I think they will get an NA or EU import (I don't think they need to). With Jingg gone, I think we need some Singaporean representation since they have 2 MY/SG teams but no SG players as of this moment. However, personally I hope they'll sign a Thai player since I wanna see sScary with another Thai player like perhaps Kadoom (though I think he is still contracted to MiTH) but the main issue being English proficiency of Thai players.
Yes. Balla is boring and Doug doesn't know what he's talking about half the time. The greatest duo.
Could also be the case with TALON where Zeus is still headcoach, but boi is acting as the on-stage coach, managing the timeouts and giving timeout calls?
Pick up b3ta from MiTH. They need a solid controller player, Patiphan is pissing me off with how much he overextends.
As a neutral fan. TALON CLEARS THIS SHIT EASY NO CAP
If they were to pick a Thai talent to replace nephh, I would have to go with Apinya. He's young but he IGLs for FS and can absolutely flex onto anything including controller/initiators and duelist probably. (Kongared maybe a shout but I think MiTH will be sticking together for another year I hope)
If JUICY doesn't play, the obvious choice is Kadoom (insane duelist and not a one trick) and then a 2nd choice duelist would honestly be Surf or a surprise pick of Changee ~ even though he didn't qualify for even the playoffs in Thai VCL, I think this kid is absolutely cracked and I want to see him on a big team.
Of course, English will always be an issue with Thai players but most have a basic understanding at conversational level that will only improve with time.
It's cool. It's different.
Bro, these players have been grinding T2 just as hard. sScary was a big buyout but don't take away from their hard work.
Holy based.
Jokes aside: I hope Jemkin recovers form this.
Nah, I like this team. They just need to keep racking up experience and learn. They have really cool ideas, good retakes and setups. Just overheat and overaggress sometimes. Crazyguy fits with BLEED.
I feel you bro. Felt like that when XERXIA played against FANCY. They play better when you don't watch, trust.
Gathering all OCE and BONKERS fans, can we start a jinx thread for DPLUS for winning this matchup. I'll start.
DPLUS Kia is expected to win the matchup against SCARZ.
Similar situation for XERXIA yesterday for DK. Heartbreaking to lose, but best of luck to both teams but SCARZ has less pressure than BOOM did yesterday so I can see DK winning (but no pressure is also scary, cause they have nothing to lose).
I'm sorry DPLUS, but I need SCARZ to win so my BLEED boys can get #1 and my new favourite team BONKERS can get playoffs.
I beg your pardon?
ja triple collat
anyone clipped that?
ก็ไม่ชนะเอง xx ผิดตรงไหน
Scarz are expected to win this matchup.
Because XERXIA is fundamentally good, but they had a bad map veto against fancy and lose against trap plays and set-ups. They're all talented aimers and I was never worried about mechanics, only strategy and mid round calling.
FANCY was very good with executes, trap plays and set-ups and XERXIA felt lost. NAOS is a brute force team like XERXIA, and they lost in the end.
You never know though. No one thought PRX would be competitive when they burst onto the scene and now they're a household name. Sure, APEKS and EMEA teams have more structure at times, but chaos is APAC's specialty. You can speculate all you want but the only way to tell is for them to play against eachother.
I feel like people are critiquing APAC way too hard. It's T2, there's bound to be overheats and bad plays, but I think people are exaggerating and glossing over teams way too hard. I'm sure these APAC teams would put up good fights against some of the NA and EMEA teams.
Watch FANCY. FANCY is fun to watch as a neutral. Game starts soon.
You gotta chill, wait for SZ vs BLEED tomorrow to decide. Sometimes playstyles just clash and don't work against some teams. I still have BLEED beating Scarz tomorrow as much as SCARZ impressed me so far. DK was underwhelming today, but they've only played 1 game, we can make conclusions after the round robin is concluded.
I advocate against gambling but FANCY is being underrated way too hard.
They were obviously biased (but who isn't) but they still did a good job of hyping up both teams and making the game fun. The OCE casters are by far the best casters we have on (I also do love Quack) and it's fine to have bias, every neutral fan was cheering for BONKERS anyway.
At what point does LAKIA become the problem xD.
Am I the only one that's just happy how competitive this tournament has been thus far ~ albeit, it's mostly down to top teams performing worse than expected and messier play, but it adds way more hype and suspense. I'm a XERXIA fan, and we got absolutely steamrolled yesterday by FANCY, but that made me admire and respect FANCY so much more and I now consider myself rooting for them as my #1 team this tournament. Below are my totally viable, non-biased, highly informed predictions for qualification
Group A (copium)
Group B
I think RIOT later clarified they were allow to, but they could not get signed by any org who was already in a VCL or VCT league so it would have to be a brand new org venture or an org that had previously backed out. Not impossible, but diminished their chances significantly, though if they continue to do well here, I don't think BONKERS will be orgless for much longer. Congrats to them, was rooting for them from home.
Indo always has cracked aimers and cooks creative strats sometimes, but they overcook, overheat and just choke all the damn time. People have been hyping up Indo teams forever and ever but they always seem to come short.
That being said, this current iteration of BOOM has plenty of talent. Of course, I'm rooting against them since I personally don't want to see any duplicate nations teams if I can help it (XERXIA is of course an exception) and as of now, outside of XX, I'm rooting for FANCY and ONE Team.
Probably tried to anti-strat based on yesterday's games, but they're too one dimensional. FANCY is able to adjust and then they just got pummeled from there. XERXIA was absolutely outclassed today and I hope they can pick it up for future games, this Ascension slot was bound for MITH and now it feels like XX is at high risk of not making it to playoffs let alone in contention for the Ascension slot.
But for real, FANCY really, really impressed me as a Thai fan and I think XX just got mentally boomed with all the util and trap setups. They started slow walking and contacting everything rather than doing hard execs. Can't wait to see their future games. I rated them highly already but I think I have them and making playoffs as 2nd seed of group A.
XERXIA saved every single strat today and played ranked mode. NAOS will face the full force of XERXIA's elaborate cooking soon. Cope.
I agree, but FANCY really impressed me today. Even T1 teams would have a hard time dealing with FANCY today. They made some rookie mistakes at times, but overall they looked extremely discliplined, well practiced with good trap and util setups, rotating players and util around constantly and their aim was good. XERXIA got mentally boomed and lost all confidence and I think you could see at the end how heavily they celebrated a pistol win that it was practically over at that point.
Yea, I'm not usually toxic but this game was too much for me really. I know the players are talented but there was absolutely no solid game plan or counterstratting to FANCY, they just got bullied round after round. I think with most fans, we can agree that we didn't have high expectations for XERXIA, they're a new roster with a new coach, but they play the same or if not worse than they did for the playoffs. No confidence at all.
MITH may or may not be better, I don't know but at least I know they're confident and have solid plays. I always felt XERXIA relied too much on mechanics and gunplay (and when they can't aim well, then they literally have nothing else). Whether is a coach, IGL or team problem I don't know, but surely things can't get worse than it looked today right?... right?
I'm even more mad at MITH for losing to this shit. MITH looked like the one coherent team with good executes, trading and also cracked aimers and they just had to choke mannnnnnn.......................
New ranked season just dropped and I think the whole XERXIA roster was solo queueing today.
I don't normally get mad at games or pro players, but this shit was just sad and frustrating to watch.
FANCY played super well ~ good util setups, trap plays, aim and XERXIA well.... looked like it was their first time playing together.
I'm a fan of the players (albeit, I'm a MITH fan at heart) but watching them run around like headless chickens and just have misplay after misplay ~ solo peeking, using a single skye flash to retake site, whiffing easy shots, holding util for 10 years, positioning out in the open, not covering eachother, the list goes on and I'm practically seething at the mouth lmao with what I watched today.
Absolute disasterclass.
One bad performance and you're already tryna drop the guy who carried your team heavily to this point.
Actual bait. If you want to call some of the nicest casters on the panel racists that's on you. Nuff said.
Actually? RIOT needs to fix the server client ASAP to preserve competitive integrity. In regards to the TO, they're definitely doing a better job today in terms of audio and replays but it's still a little scuffed at times but definitely improvements, so I'm grateful.
