theyre 1-3 theyll tie 2/3 if they win today rheir round diff isnt that bad

imagine being punished for playing drawn out games and not playing risky.
this rewards playing like ranked and rushing enemy spawn and not stacking ulta when youre at 12

initiator for attack
controller for defense
end of argument

with how the format works, we will see only 4-5 teams per region competing internationally, would it be cool to have a lock in esque tournament every year so we get more teams international playtime and experience?

drx
prx
talon
geng
zeta

what are your top 5s after lock in?
SENTINELS
CONTROLLERS
INITIATORS
DUELISTS
FLEX/MAIN ENTRY

ge fan equates shit talking GE to shittalking indians, when this entire site is about calling other regions bad

it's not even about dephh botfragging, ive seen the most godawful strats ever on xset, horrible midrounding, dephh dry peeking, i refuse to believe that a team with cryo and zekken could be that bad

1.prx is still good

2. players like cryo and cned need to learn other agents, theyll be very successful rn but need to be sustainable
3. yay is not a one trick chamber
   4.teams that utilize their 6th man well in the future will succeed a lot, having a flex pick for another map to avoid uncomfortable roles is huge (think of players like cryo and neT, can play raze or sentinels (well this is applicable on chamber meta only) when needed)
4. giants and koi are AMAZING teams and were unlucky to face nrg first
5. vitality is going to be like the next oglu, good but not good enough
6. 100t didnt deserve the 2 games they won
7. eg will be the 3rd best NA team (not Americas just NA)

what is godL what did they do

replacing?

tired

WHO ASKED NO ONE CARES IF SEN IS #13 ON YOUR LIST AND YOU THINK 100T IS WASHED
27 ranking posts a day drain my brain
ALL OF THEM ARE BAD TOO

stellar and shyy expected tbh

i liked him, not enough to put him here, tuyz impressed me far more

no navi player can be on this list, they were already expected to do well

i didnt see fur vs t1, mwzera on this list was off of fur vs fnc
how good was he

my favourite on this list is tuyz
he made me believe in loud again i thought they were done

list of players who didn't have a lot of eyes on them but did amazing: (including players whom people expected to perform shit)

100t went deep but the wins were so unconvincing

lol

hes playing insane this tournament, navi just destroyed lev this game

mrfalin is the best player itw

i like him :(

flair

YES

most ascension rosters arent franchised teams yes, but theres always potential, not letting talent grow is bad, even if it seems mediocre

Here's a thread about how emea talent will just go to waste with the system.

Things that are horribly wrong:

1. Region wise team restrictions: so in a huge region like emea, minimum 3 players from a region have to play in a team, this fucks over team building. For example the team ISTANBUL WILDCATS was going to be a roster with 7ssk7 braveaf deffo and aslan, but the team quite literally isnt allowed to exist
2. no cis league: which is understandable but with the region restrictions, it kills teambuilding, no russian talent can reliably flourish
3. limited teams from each region qualify into ascension league: THIS IS THE WORST ONE, theres a LARGE amount of GOOD turkish teams and only one can qualify.
   look at the polaris teams. https://www.vlr.gg/event/1423/challengers-league-northern-europe-polaris-split-1/regular-season
   THERES FOKUS WHO DEFEATED C9 and look great
   APEKS WITH MAGNUM MISTIC ENZO
   then theres LPP with l1nk and vong
   ONLY ONE OF THESE TEAMS WILL QUALIFY THIS IS INSANE

this is actually laughable, this region is full of talent and most of it is going to be stuck in vrls, no franchised org will ever pick a full vrl team, so now good cores will just be stuck in vrls or be separated if orgs poach talent, this is actually insane i cant believe this is a real thing

mrfalin is the best player itw

i think not playing foxy9 is the play.
remember m3c and purp0? feel bad for him, he came out on a deciding map and had the nerves.
if they happen to lose when foxy9 plays, it won't be accurate for analysis and it will be horrible for foxy's mental

you dont know what she said to the players, she looked aggressive but couldve said nice things passionately

yeah but they defeated them in the rematch

navi, people are forgetting that they were the favourites to win champs and they only lost to drx twice, they're incredibly strong

north america isnt a race. their comeback was weak and lame and existed for misdirection but there were like zero hints of racism there
