Who do you think should be dropped?

Hello bronzil I hope you're well.

CN teams scrim against APAC teams all the time.

Once again, different work ethics, different styles of encouragement/training/etc.

EDG was horrible against LOUD. They weren't playing together, they weren't doing by their standards. I fail to see why After and Aqua shouldn't be allowed to drill it into them that they need to improve, especially after that shambolic showing.

Sure, there's a lot of pressure on the players, and that's to be expected, especially when EDG's supposed to represent China and be one of th strongest teams in the world.

Cultural relativism leads to situations like these where the work ethics/expectations in different places are so different to the ones we might be familiar with. What might be bad to us could be good for them.

It's still a statement regardless of whether or not it is factual. The point is that they said something that lead to the diminishing their reputation in the CN region and now they're antagonized due to said thing.

My own personal opinion:

Boaster
Jamppi

AAAAY

We could sometime!

It's a lot of different sports, yes, but the amount of time I spent doing each one isn't a lot at all.

❤️

Yours is memorable in its own way. I'll always remember your name!

Your name is nice as well! Quite memorable.

Ah I see. That makes more sense.

He played at Masters Tokyo, which was a major in the VCT 2023 season. "No one cares", arguably so, but "knows"? YHchen is definitely not a household name but it's a bit of a stretch to say that no one knows him when he played for the first seed of China in a Masters.

I understand if you yourself don't know/care about him but there's no reason to come in here with a disrespectful attitude towards someone who hasn't done anything to deserve such treatment. I don't think it was very wise for you to make that post but let's keep it positive and respectful from here-on out.

I like your name.

Obelisk you can look at my search history for as long as you want.

Now that you bring up sports, I believe I've partaken in quite a wide variety of them throughout my measly lifespan.

Football (soccer) playing as a goalkeeper around the middle of my elementary years (I was bad so they made fun of me and I quit).
Chess during the latter fourth of my elementary years as well as a chunk of my high school freshman/sophomore year.
Basketball three times a week for two trimesters during late elementary.
Diving as a hobby some time ago.
Badminton as a hobby during the summers.

I don't have a sport I'm committed to nowadays but I do however enjoy long walks downtown before playing Valorant!

Thanks!

I'm sorry for being unclear. I was referring to a digital bait thread like the ones that appear on vlr every now and then. I was wondering if you were making one of those.

No I'm talking about like... a bait thread.

This is a bait right?

I don't know how military training works, but if you're deemed of abnormal weight, won't they just make you normal through training and stuff?

Let's keep this conversation away from politics and allegations please.

Very true

It's wonderful that OCE is getting this opportunity, but I do hope JJH wins APAC Ascension.

I think it's possible. They were really good in Madrid.

They could potentially but they're definitely not going to be favorites should they match up.

But don't get me wrong I rarely drink alcohol as it is only reserved for special occasions.

Geocoction #A02:
10% vodka + 50% monster papillon (interchangable with other flavors) + 20% Heineken + 20% Black Whiskey

I think it's wicked but I've had others tell me otherwise...

This could either be an upset, or yet another domination by TE. With the addition of SWERL, I think NOVA is packing some heavy firepower. This could come to bite me in the future, but I'll take the risk and say that NOVA takes this 2-1.

DRG 2-0 AG is what's expected. AG failed to show any signs of brilliance, and while I don't blame them I just don't think they have what it takes to contest DRG.

I think Wolves has what it takes to win this one. TEC was great in Kickoff but I think Wolves could've done better had they not fallen to BLG. 2-0 WOL win.

BLG should be able to take this 2-0, considering the shambolic showing TYLOO gave us at Kickoff.

I'm a big fan of SWERL, and he's cracked as well so I'm pretty happy with this move.

Sheesh

You guys have interesting thoughts.

He was the former IGL for ASE. JDG signed him because they're having issues with IGLing.

JDG might be cooking but I'm sorry to see jkuro go (if he does).

HI HO WOLVERHAMPTON🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

Team Liquid will always remain in my heart, I think we'll cook this season!🐴

Idk but shuaishuai was the EDGS coach.

Nice! Thanks for the information 👍

Personally I think they were on a similar level by the end of the year but I get where you're coming from.

Some Italians like to joke about the French having disagreements with each other.

They're definitely the worst region at the moment, and EDG, like you said, is pretty lacking for a top seed. Regardless, I wouldn't count them out of top 10 contention because their international placements hold a decent amount of water (many have pointed this out already). Their Madrid exit was very disappointing but I think you can hardly blame them. LOUD was playing very well and they suffered a comeback from GenG.

To sum it up, I think you are correct in 90% of what you're saying but to call any of the top Chinese teams cannon-fodder is not the best way to describe them.

Maybe I'm being slightly petty here but their Champs placement was the same as DRX, not worse.

No time to travel to Berlin. I only brought it up because VCT CN happens to be held in Shanghai.

Hi anyth1ng ❤️

I don't personally agree with this decision but let's see.
