Dark blue

I thought it was lifetime

The Americas stadium, yes, but more importantly, Riot HQ

johnqt is botfrag

Icebox? Yes
Breeze? Yes
Abyss? Not quite. I've seen quite a few pro rounds with heavy mid control prioritization (especially in the LEV game) or full fights for mid (notably the FUT game)

I have not seen a single post about aspas being a joke that doesn't include that willminder tweet

Can't really say Abyss is bad when we've had 10 reps total globally and the alternative is Breeze

Are you referring to vuvuzelas?

Wo0t clears himself?

Since CN is a region they have 4 "timezones". Since the last event of 2023 was Americas, they made the 3 events on 2024 in EMEA, CN, and Pacific. Hope that helps

Oh I didn't watch the opening ceremony

Just keep it in Seoul but use Masters Tokyo times

Yeah I'm calling bs

Source?

Ok

ANGE1

Doesn't that mean they have 5 imports though

This is like flaming Spanish Challengers for not speaking Urdu

Money

Good stuff, Hobbit

You have a point. Guess it is Grand Final #1, in a way.
Is the real Grand Final just seeding, then? (#1 and #2 seed)

Always loved the Olympics. Dunno what specific sports, just gonna try to watch anything that catches my eye

The Olympics are currently being held in a predominantly Christian country but ok

As much as I like NA Challengers, you can't argue that 8 Grand Finals >>> 1 Upper Final
Will definitely watch though, can't wait to see how they'll do against each other this time ^^

Then what would Jinggg play?

Mainly just teams being locked in for both Champs and the Ascension tournaments

I suddenly really really wanna see MITH vs. MIBR

Have you tried searching "aspas csgo"?

Then put f0rsakeN on Sova, d4v41 on Omen, mindfreak on Cypher

Stop hating on Trace. They've deserved to rep China at an international since mid 2023, and now that they've finally gotten there no one's giving them any respect for it.

Also NAVI don't deserve Champs.

KRU is very underrated but I'd say most underrated Champs team is easily TE

I don't know if I'll ever switch off LOUD. Maybe once EMEA Ascension rolls around

This is facts

That's really sweet

The only thing that's washed about him is his agent pool. Jett + Brim + Astra + Chamber is a really limited agent pool in the current meta. I don't know if he plays Omen at all but if he can get really good at him then he can fill a Cryo-esque role on a team with a Raze + flex like Asuna or N4RRATE

If he's going to uni next year, give him something he can remember you by. Maybe a keychain, or a custom printed shirt, or even something handmade. Can be something simple.

4/4

Depends on who you ask

If I'm 3rd then you're 2nd

10 or 20 is crazy. Falcons are GOATED. I'm guessing 1-2

Oh yeah true!

Idk if you count Americas as one region (you said NA vs. NA) but we've had OPTC vs. LOUD as a grand finals before

It's called competitive queue for a reason

Dude no please don't troll in competitive. Troll in unrated

Heretics has benjy but PRX has been arguably the most clouted org player-wise since franchising started

For player clout I'd drop TH and add PRX

Edit: nvm you added those two sentences at the top

No problem!

Super irrelevant but this entire thread is France, Britain, and Canada and I find that really cool

That's fair yeah
