i don't think most people with eyes (i say this as an old edg fan lol) went into champs having particularly high expectations for either team (esp. not blg) so even making it to playoffs, i think can be considered a success for both teams (though if edg loses against blg it does mean they just haven't improved as much as blg has)

they do have an academy team, yeah (cause kk and haodong routinely joke about losing their pay checks-)

tyloo is actually their second team…cause i’m 70% sure edg funds them (?) and like the two teams use the same facility (hence why abo joined them)

the effect a charismatic figurehead does for your game >>

it wouldn’t happen anyways, nobody and kk have played together literally their entire careers (they’re a package duo)

chichoo living his best fanboy life

HE DOESN'T MISS

if it works it works

KANGKANG CHAMBER

THE GOAT IS ON HIS WAY 🐐

this champs? probably

bilibili is more like chinese youtube?

but weibo (like chinese twitter) has a team as well though so that checks out

i mean casters aren't exactly always accurate for names (like chichoo told staff it was pronounced qiuqiu and they've just rolled with chichoo) - so i still don't know how to say whzy's name lol

whzy showing why he's china's #1 raze

and blg somehow on attack as well lol

then ignore me i'm braindead-

(but if we go by normal hype to viewer conversion, 290k for non-edg (cause they still are the most popular team in china by a fair bit) is crazy lol)

at the very top of the photo, the character beside the number means 10,000 so multiply (and i don't think it's hype #s cause the stream has 100k likes)

i'm pretty sure it's ACTUAL NUMBERS cause it says there's 100k likes so it wouldn't be heat/hype numbers (at the very top of the photo, the character beside the number means 10,000 so multiply)

on bilibili there are 2.9 million people watching rn lol

(bilibili gaming indeed)

哈哈哈哈哈哈行我也觉得合理

就觉得eg的中国粉丝直接没了

kangkang and most of edg regularly com in english during their streams, but kangkang’s english is probably the best on the team ^^

i mean those numbers were from before valorant was hype in china so i would expect numbers for champs to be higher (if the time zones weren’t scuffed for them lol)

nAts trying his best but one man can only carry so much

rng doesn’t even have the money to buy a box of donuts LMAO

what is this faker disrespect

they have definitely gotten better, but i'm not getting my hopes up yet (EDG as an org has developed a bad habit of losing when people have expectations-)

weird take cause smoggy single handedly gave edg their run (without him and his ten clutches they lose against navi)

gotta not take yourself too seriously outside valorant so you can be a beast in the game i guess

只能说：一定要试一试上海的小笼包！(也要吃一些甜点hh上海的食物确实都加糖的。。。）

obviously some teams are probably going to use it, but do you think more teams are gonna go chamber? (chamber jett? neon comp??)

the poetic irony would be chefs kiss

i sense a disturbance in the force, the stars have aligned
kangkang's back on chamber i can see it already

SADGE IT'S THE PLATCHAT CURSE

kinda hope they get picked up by jdg or another big org (like they were rumored to be) ; they got a lot of potential but they'd be so much better if they had more discipline

<33

you're already better than half the abcs i know lol

getting the group of death/disappointment out of the way first, i see

edits faster i swear i'm trying ;-;

if it's real i'll eat my socks; even edg's (much more popular) league team isn't allowed member specific content so idk why their valorant team would be any different

(also the channel has a link to a tiktok which just objectively makes no sense when edg has a douyin account)

hi said channel of waywardzz here

side note: this channel’s edits aren’t posted on edg’s chinese social media (that i could find) and edg is notorious for not really letting their players do shit on their own so yeah lol

edg 2-1 because i don’t trust edg not to have gotten complacent after the…very low stakes china qualifier
(please don’t troll, please don’t troll, DO NOT PLAY LIKE YOU GUYS DID IN THE CQ)

^^ china as a region already has like 4-ish decent teams and the league is going to keep growing cause big esports orgs like jdg (who aren't in valorant yet) have been looking into buying their own teams (pushing them into pacific immediately fucks over pacific lol)

NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING (totally didn’t have a heart attack after game 3) EDGWIN!

yeah i feel like post masters-edg doesn’t rely so heavily on kk doing well in a game to win (it’s still IMPORTANT but)

meanwhile blg seems like they at least need whzy to be doing pretty decently for the other members to feel like they’re human (biank is now my goat)

guess it’s just experience and team diff

chinese comment: “3/18? someone please claim the raze as your boosted girlfriend”

but seriously whzy not having a series

for the sake of my sanity someone needs to change the caster i’m going to hear RIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN in my nightmares

realistically, no
but i don't think it's not ALLOWED per say

what a day to not want eyeballs

(whzy playing shotgun demon for two games in a row is the most simultaneously entertaining and fucking infuriating thing i’ve had to watch in the cq)

i’d be okay even seeing a map 4 lol

entirely different team after growing a brain internationally
