he was a part of TOP esports during the CN ascension bit and played VCL TW/HK before so probably had some fans

It's really hard to nerf viper without completely destroying her, nerf orb/wall and she gets 0 smoke uptime, no way to really nerf molly (the damage it does is already pretty minimal compared to other mollies when excluding vulnerable), and pit is IMO worse than lockdown and rolling thunder, she needs a rework if anything

They're probably a bit overhyped, however with pacific starting to catch up to the other regions (as a whole, drx were always good) with the top of pacific being so close, I can definitely see a possibility where China in champs or even shanghai could surprise a lot of people

EDG are consistent top 6, teams like JDG TE FPX in champs or shanghai definitely show potential to at the very least not go winless. They are still the worst region but I dont think taking their spots is the move, especially if you consider viewership in china.

Big eren fan, hopefully he pulls out the deadlock again

won the last 3 LCK finals as well as some more in years past, inherited the old SSG roster who stopped SKT in 2017, and that's about it, dont think they've ever even won MSI

Yoman (IGL, current Nongshim RedForce)
Meteor (current GenG)
Forsaken (current Paper Rex)
RB (current Titan Esports Club)
iZu (current T1)

switch roles every map to confuse enemy

drop the first 1 I wanna see

I think it's very possible, EU shows potential with a lot of teams, and top 4-5 in PAC and Americas are already very close with T1/RRQ/DRX in APAC and NRG/EG/LEV in Americas showing potential to beat the likes of GenG and Sen.
Surely 2024 is DRX's year..

Can prx afford to buyout a T1 player should be the real question

Yes

Chovy is crazy

Calling a tournament mickey mouse because of a result 💀

He said in an interview he wanted to play and win with a different team. He's still close with the loud guys and im sure LOUD couldve matched his pay

Agreeing with what bladee666 said, I think that EU in general cares much more about CS, meaning less talent goes into the Valorant scene (imagine donk in val)

Pacific kickoff itself is an International LAN

worlds dosent have lowers in playoffs as well
