insane player. rookie of the year material? idk about that..

Achilios, Chobra, and Paperthin really carrying the region
the OCE casters are so goated it makes me sad

yes. chobra also said it. it means "homing missile" in Korean.
type 유도탄 meaning and click the audio button

like holy fuck stop saying ooh-dotan it's yoodotan

Can this guy not fuck up casting
last year he was the one who casted arguably the worst casted tier 1 game in VCT (DFM vs GE i think?)
year before he had an absolute stinger of a round where he messed up which team was attacking, then said the defending player (who was actually an attacker) couldn't defuse the spike when he was supposed to be planting, even though the spike was dropped halfway across the map.
the only thing this guy does is try to weave pseudo-elaborate wordplay whenever some rando hits a 3k+ and it sounds comically pretentious rather than poetic.

can we kick this guy and bring conky/komodo instead?

Zeta are good it's legit just that NS is arguably the strongest KR team right now

Francis and Ivy are pretty good. Persia was the highest rated player in Challengers Korea AND Ascension.
Kush has been rated pretty highly. SyouTa was the best Smokes/one of the top prospects in Japan T2 for the past 2 years.

basically you watched the events that don't matter too much, you didn't watch the actual games, you incorporated other people's opinions, and guessed the rest..?

And if you took PlatChat's opinions, then you took the opinions of some who also didn't watch the actual games...?

yea its possible but i would be hesitant to say mith would have performed better than Fs at ascension

it's not exactly clear if MiTH would have beaten BME either tbh. or even Riddle. MiTH is good sure but FS weren't slouches when they played at Ascension. besides, it's not like MiTH choked a bo3. they lost a bo5 1-3. looking at the vlr page shit wasn't even close either + mith had the double map ban advantage too

MiTH are not beating SPG lol, they might have been better than FS but FS literally got 13-0ed on their arguably best map

I have nightmares about my parents passing away. I'm sorry you went through this and I can't even imagine the grief you're going through right now.
Just know that you and her family must have meant the world to her, and I'm so so confident that you were a good child and she raised you well.
It's so sad and unfortunate she had to move on. A friend of mine lost someone close to her recently as well, and I told her this:

"fate is often cruel and death likes to take those who deserve it the least... it is up to us to make the most of that time in between and to bring respect to their memory after.

there's a quote from tuesdays with morrie that i think applies here:

"Death ends a life, not a relationship. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on- in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.""

when in mourning, make sure to take care of yourself, make sure you're eating properly, trying to sleep as best as you can, and drinking water. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope your mother lives on - not just as a fond memory, but also a source of motivation, strength, and inspiration.

I cannot show the video because she asked me to delete it after we broke up which I did (I would have posted the video years ago if I had it)

xeus

ok but he must have shown something in scrims to justify being picked up no? the point is judging how good someone is off of tracker score is kinda crazy especially when a lot of top players in apac don't have insane tracker scores like those in NA/EU etc

wdym you act like i don't know why it's green. what does him trolling in his games have anything to do with what i said??

i wouldn't take tracker scores too seriously tbh.

a lot of insane players typically have decent or mid tracker scores in apac ranked. t3xture had green, stax/rb had grey or yellow at some points. if someone has blue they're likely to be good but i wouldn't take tracker scores too seriously tbh.

for example, persia the highest rated at ascension and korea t2:

Yeah, if Heretics won a trophy lol.
Between equal trophy winners consistency over time is more important 🤡🤡

Really helping the SEN fan narrative

Sure but you get my point - in the end the result is the result and we can't really go off of hypotheticals.

Yeah I get it. To be fair though I mean you can make a big case for GEN.G then for example, they were drawn with the most ridiculous group of death ever. Every finalist of the year was in their group + the team that came very close to beating TH and GEN.G

I feel like although KRÜ were the BR killers at the time LOUD should have been able to win vs them.

LOUD 23 =/= LOUD 22

LOUD 22 >>> LOUD 23

LOUD 23 is probably top 10 though.

Yes it does because we're taking into account the best team of the year lol. Consistently high placements means something. It's not best team of the tournament or peak best team or whatever.

Being able to perform consistently well during the length of the season is a valid and valuable metric.

I believe it was because LATAM #2 KRU beat BR #2 NiP during the qualifier, which, according to Riot rationale, meant that LATAM as a region was more competitive than BR, so LATAM got the playoff bye.

I just feel like the 2 trophies in 1 year thing is just not debatable. No team has won 2 trophies in 1 year except FNC - and they did it back to back.

Best team of the year means Champs is taken into account but the other 2/3rds of the year are also very important.

Their single tournament performance was the best in history but I don't think their year was. 1st, then 5th-6th, then grouped.
Plus, this was the first year of international VCT.

i think BR were in playoffs Masters 1 but didn't get playoffs M2 because Lev KRU won the BR/LATAM qualifier

thank u sir o7

I'm just talking about performance vs other teams during their year! Just because FNC 23 is above OpTic 22 doesn't mean they'd necessarily beat OpTic 22 or vice versa.

1. FNC 2023
   Honestly, this is debatable I can't lie. But FNC are the first and only team to win back to back trophies looking dominant when they won Tokyo. They had a respectable top 4 finish at Champs as well.
2. OpTic 2022
   Top 3 every international event in 2022, 1 Masters trophy, and 2nd at Champs? Pretty no brainer that this is the 2nd best team of all time.
3. EG 2023
   Two GF in a row, 1 Champions trophy? I feel like the way they played was so good that they deserve to be called the 3rd best team of all time. Their performance during LOCK//IN is why they're below OpTic imo.
4. LOUD 2022
   2x GF, grouped at Copenhagen, but walked away with a Champs Trophy? They looked very strong and innovative, especially with how they won Champs without benefiting from the Chamber meta.
5. GEN.G 2024
   GF appearances in every tournament bar one for the entire year. Out of 6 possible Grand Finals they made 5. That's insane consistency. A Masters trophy to boot, on enemy ground as well? I think they're debatably more recent enough to be considered above LOUD 2022 tbh, but this is a close one.

they're not kicking iZu. You're crazy if you think they would kick him, he's been one of their best players and he's very young too.

well geng is probably going budget again this year lol

his teammates are good wdym

yes T1 treats their players well and pay well.

don't rob SPG

come back to this after t1 dont qualify

hope autumn proves me wrong

ya

IF T1 LOSE WITH THIS ROSTER KICK FRAUDTUMN OFF THE TEAM
FUCK HATERS
TRUST THE PROCESS PLEASE LMFAO

autumn and his chamber comps KEKW T1 IS FINISHED

?

PUBG

historically the best coaches in Asia have had tac-FPS experience (HSK, Solo, Termi, Alecks, Muggle)
Autumn is the only coach to have not come from tac-FPS experience or decoration. The new coaches are also from PUBG.

I wonder when Autumn's project will work out tbh.
