hope estrella proves me wrong because the guy is not anything special to me. i thought yoman did fine enough.

kai had like one good game but buzz is a good shout

true couldn't think of anyone else though. i thought maybe zekken or demon1 but idk

aspas
t3xture
kangkang
derke
something

Meiy but no t3xture or buzz i'm dead

guy individually played like a bot macrowise on drx and on geng

guy has no brain. but he can shoot.

foxy9 could shoot but that boy had no brain

Champs 21 is the best Vandal skin in the game and it's not close

this is a very brazilian post. love u guys.

prize money only, does not include salary

holy reading

can do 65kg assuming bar is 25, (20kg each side) what is that, like 143lbs? but i use lower weights normally because i do higher reps and i dont have the stamina/strength to lift that shit 12 times for 3 sets LOL
im out of practice tho so im p weak ngl

split i wanna say sen but they got hard exposed by prx and geng on their first matchup, so idk maybe edg 24?
fracture eg 23
icebox lev 24
abyss drx 24
bind optic 22
breeze geng 24
ascent geng 24
haven loud 22
lotus fnc 23
pearl prx 23
sunset sen 24

this is just off the top of my head

valyn noticed me on twitter, ever since i have been a fan

as a g2 fan agree, they aren't invincible

chill lothy boy i'm just pointing out a mistake you made

Here’s a refined and structured version of your summary:

ChatGPT moment

spg made that comp before fnatic did

in hindsight yeah, but it was mostly because Dplus were the first and only LCK org to invest in Korea, even before DRX

aged so beautifully :') tear to my eye

yeah icl the initial reaction to korea getting 3 slots even though sea got 4 was wild. at the time i didn't disagree completely, but was more upset about the orgs they chose (rip dplus)

it stems further back though, when sea fans were saying BOOM/SEA LCQ would sweep all the teams in the East Asia LCQ (so EDG and proto-Gen.G lol)

20 player slots to represent a region with one trophy is more than enough, especially because the best korean team got worse in the offseason

this is fair but that region is the only region in the continental league with a trophy

but also the original comment was saying that korea is by far the best
idk about by far, actually back in 2023 all 3 korean teams were in the top 4 of pacific. 2024 geng and drx were 1st and 2nd, now we have all 3 occupying 1st~3rd, and nongshim is already looking like the 4th~5th best.
so nothing has really changed that much. korea has been the best region in pacific since franchising, the only reason it wasn't domination was because prx existed.

representation atp is earned through ascension, so...but there's undeniable proof of good tier 2 korean talent. the best duelist in korean tier 2 during 2023 was stew and the guy had to go to china because there was no korean team willing to free up their duelist spot for him. shit even sayaplayer is in japanese tier 2

nongshim not close

0 ball knowledge all good though

then why are you on my ass for comparing munchkin to d4v41 when munchkin is the igl and still does better than d4v41 on the same agents/roles?

prx roster is not better than geng's, not in 2024 and not now. maybe mechanically you can make an argument, but not overall.

something gets a lot of support on prx lol what? they let him attack op, they let him op on gekko, they do a lot for his entries - have you watched them play lol?

f0rsakeN is 100% the best player on prx and it's not close - and he's a top 10/top 5 player in pacific too ngl. his igling leaves a lot to be desired compared to munchkin though

t3xture clears something bro what LMFAO and he's more flexible to boot. he doesn't need an attack operator to get impact and is more capable of playing with his team and in a more structured environment. guy doesn't overheat easily compared to something. there's a reason he briefly broke the kill record vs prx.
i'm not underrating d4v41 lol, i'm comparing him to munchkin in terms of roles/agents they play. munchkin is still >= f0rsakeN though

current geng maybe

mindfreak < karon
something < t3xture
d4v41 < munchkin

this isn't arguable tho

kickoff isn't even over, DRX has played exactly 2 games, NSR has played 5 games, and the original question was asked in the context of VCT Pacific

lmfao

moreover bro said Persia when Ivy has been NSR's most consistent player so far

bro is naming two players who just joined the league as consistent LMFAO I CAN'T

Gen.G is in pretty bad form rn, it's doable and would help with regional parity. honestly i think NS/TLN/DFM/GENG/T1/DRX could all make runs at Bangkok

well, maybe t1

even Ivy?

wow bro is a little too upset that prx got 13-1ed lets calm down ok buddy ^_^

RRQ look like the strongest SEA team ngl, but TLN are still pretty good

holy fuck these guys dropped the ball when it came to managing japan's premier team

i always pegged you as a weird fuck

Take notes.

DFM is made up of some of the strongest Tier 2 Japanese players (Meiy, Art, Akame, Jinboong) and they're accomplishing feats you never have, despite starting off like shit.
You have probably the best Tier 2 Japanese player in SyouTa and you're going out 9th-12th.

Lock in.

he's not zellsis bro plus didn't he have a whole thing where he treated it like a job and didn't really spend time with the team outside of practice and officials lol

reduxx lol

but no one's replacing zellsis when it comes to vibes.

it's just not a meta fit for jinggg tbh. the old PRX aggro meta benefited from Raze being an insanely good dive duelist and Jinggg's proficiency on her was second to none. I wouldn't mind seeing a new face in his stead if it makes the team more flexible though. If Talon hadn't basically locked down Primmie I'd be screaming for them to chase the guy.

alecks needs help bro it's clear he's trying his best. plus his timeouts are for the most part, pretty effective.

Keep alecks f0rsakeN d4v41 and mindfreak i beg they're good players and it'd break my heart to see the prx core split up ;_;

They complain about Riot this Riot that but I don't see any complaints about actually relevant issues like SEA orgs just failing to properly incorporate their domestic talent. It took almost the full season for Talon to get Primmie, because Fr0sT didn't like his first impression. Why weren't people mad about that? What about the constant complaining about Estrella being a double agent despite Monyet kinda shitting the bed during today's game and Estrella actually being kinda decent?

For example, why is Juicy on Wolves and why did no SEA team pick up ex-DSG (like grumble?) Why is Sultan teamless even though both he and dos9 were insane?

i've been feeling like getting active recently

i'm just pointing out how badly you're crying rn when you have had more slots than Korea since the start of franchising, probably the most beloved team in the world in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and a better T2 scene than Korea. And now you're streaming tears, sobbing, ugly crying about how after 2~3 whole years playing in Seoul for a LOT of these players (PRX roster, TS roster, RRQ roster - Kushy), it's actually the location that benefits Korean teams and disadvantages SEA teams to the point where it's a legitimate point of concern and detriment to SEA teams. You know, despite the fact that Korean teams have seemingly played decently outside of home soil - aka, they don't seem to experience the issues you claim plague SEA teams.

i'm not european i have this flag to honour Twisten's memory you sick fuck.

stop coping

NA and SA are on two different continents meanwhile pretty much all Asian teams get 40-ish ping to Hong Kong servers which is where the majority of Asian ranked players play on.
sea is getting fucked by their inability to either properly manage their rosters (RRQ first roster, or TS swapping coaches pre-playoff) or their orgs have issues (BLEED was your richest org and 2nd best org prefranchising lol) or they just choke important games (RRQ, TS, PRX)

hello goat

PRX Dambi and NS stew would be insane
or just PRX stew

what is this cope when nongshim literally won a 17-15 OT against boom in their home country indonesia & geng won in shanghai when the chinese crowd were cheering against them every game? but it's sea teams who need the benefit of a home crowd or some kind of locational comfort? and that kr teams are good because they play at home?

as for the whole scrim thing because of how close Asia is as a region you know that all teams can scrim all the other Asian teams lol right they don't all play on KR servers. if the league was hosted in Jakarta or something the Korean T2 teams would still be able to scrim Pacific teams lol..

this level of whining is actually insane, massive respect to japanese fans for watching their teams shit the bed day in day out and not complain about some random useless bullshit and strictly focus on direct issues within their teams and not external factors outside of it.
