“Individually not good” My guy leaf and jawg r insane. Valyn last year went toe to toe versus Aspas in terms of fragging in the lowerfinals. I wouldn’t call them a superteam but in no way are these players bad individually

No point in engaging in a conversation about this with someone who doesn’t know ball and is close minded💔

News flash buddy, most valo watchers can and do watch CN and APAC. Sorry that you’re NA pilled. Also no marketable stars is INSANE work when you have players like Kangkang, Nobody, Chichoo, Stax, and Meteor right there

Mfw APAC and CN have won the last 3 VCT events. If you aren’t willing to be open minded to new storylines in a game that does not have the longevity of League or CS, the problem isnt the league, the problem is you

If you watch most eastern teams you would know this take is mid. Boom literally went from being called the worst team in their region to being 5-0 in a group with GenG PRX and DRX. RRQ went from being a mid tier team gate kept by GenG to being first seed in their group after picking up crazyguy. WOL and BLG have had a good rivalry with nephh and Juicy as well as how many times the teams have played each other in the last year. even Americas has the Verno storyline, C9 looking the best they ever have, and MIBR, SEN, 100T, KRU all having rivalries with eachother.

Me when I only watch NA and cant accept that all my goats are washed except Jawg💔:

Came from League, BLG was favorite team cuz Bin had been on it since 2022. Judge was my favorite gun so when I heard that BLG had a val team with a duelist that went shotgun only on some maps I instantly fell in love.

kekw

huh

where MIBR on this list

teams for playoffs are already confirmed, everyone except APEKS, M8, KOI, and GX are goin

Its crazy that 3 teams in the upper semifinals are from the same group, and they both 2-0d their opponents. Was that group just completely insane or what?

unironically, blow up the entire team and rebuild. There are a ton of absolutely incredible t2 SEA/singaporean players that you can pick up.

ur goddamn right Americas owns eu. But 0/8 for saying cheer for NRG

good player, can't contend for goat status tho. But tbf not many can.

but thats real tho, they just are a 1 man region kekw

2G is still bad, and are still probably the worst team in Americas. But they have improved, so there's something.

KRU were never out of business

no

? he was consistently BLGs second or third best player, only really had 4 terrible matches. With those being the first match of the season, and the last three matches of his season. I could understand if you meant he was not as visibly impactful as he is now, but saying he was inconsistent is not a defensible claim.

Held him back? What is blud yapping about, Yosemite was good on BLG, and was consistently improving, he only shit the bed internationally

Woman, going alone, to india. Yeah its cooked lmaooooo.

GOAT

6 man roster? Carpe was a sub. They had to play with him because Sylvan was sick iirc

They've been running this comp since the beginning of kickoff and theyve made it to the gf of bangkok, chill out.

Erm akshually both masters are swiss stage while Champs is still group stage🤓

huh?

U sure bout that one chief? Its a very real possibility now.

TBH, I compare the way you should be eating spicy foods to working out, your muscles/nerves are gonna be sore until they adjust to the new conditions you are putting them under, in which case you will have an increased tolerance.

Riddle me this batman, if spicy food is soooo painful why do I feel nothing when I eat moderately spicy foods!?!?!

Benched both

“High intellectuals” we aren’t even trying with the baits anymore😭 2/8
+2 points for niceness instead of being a shitty rage bait

NRG is cursed with roster implosions to make BLG look better ong

Yes because that’s what they practiced. Ofc they are gonna be better at the stuff they are comfortable with, that doesn’t mean its a good way to play if you want to be the best team

They fell off after Shanghai last year due to leaning into less structured and chaotic gameplay in order to surprise their opponents, except they often threw rounds because of it. Now it’s just because they are trying to bounce back. Removing NathanD was honestly a good move imo, they just need time to figure out how to become a more disciplined team.

0/8, also is this coordinated or just 3 alt accounts?

0/8

0/8

killed 3 by himself on site in a 2v4

Me neither but I think you have to respect that MIBR can in fact be good enough to win events considering they had significantly less prac with 2 rookies compared to the other teams

ngl making this post before this match is ballsy, respect.

Ngl would probably wait for the result of this game before saying that Aspas is a fraud that joined a team that can't contend for anything

the first b is silent

Hallo

not exactly, however the influence has caused their naming conventions to be sanskrit related. Similar to how non Christian or Jewish people name their kids Luke, Isaac, Noah, Jacob etc, it comes down to the influence from the past

Its a very small connection. Basically it is thought that a Korean princess who married a Korean king way back, came from India, specifically the kingdom of Ayodhya, which is an extremely important kingdom to Hinduism at it is considered the birthplace of Ram, an avatar of Vishnu: one of the “Big 3” of the Hindu pantheon.

Indian here. Pretty much all of SEA has a ton of influence from India due to religion. Specifically the spread of Buddhism through merchants and Hinduism through the spread of various empires such as the Chola dynasty. Since naming conventions are derived from religion for those who practice Hinduism. Many SEA people have names originating from Hinduism, which is why you consider their names to sound Indian.
