Now that I think about it. LATAM can probably put together their version of this years T1. Maybe we see that in the future on KRU or LEV.

lowkey tho tacolila was coming off a really good year in 2022 during that chamber meta so I get it.

he needs to team up with kingg if he wants to win a trophy with latam, mazino can stay for sure he is world class

my guy said win this year on kru LMAO

I do agree but he isnt better than zekken anymore

keznit 0 trophies, grouped at almost every event besides 2021. zekken clears that guy by a mile at this point. But Keznit still packs a punch for sure

we cutting keznit first

gotta say buzz and mako should be up there

f0rsaken over meteor is wild, how is derke not in the top 10

buddy dont do this do yourself

Possibly might backfire on me tbh but all good

LMAO that was kinda funny

wtf does faker being a partner have to do with this

they really need to drop the imports and just give chances to their own players. Look how good kush is

yep I agree, china needs like 1-2 more years before people truly see how scary they can be, but man trace looks crazy good, do you think they can beat NA or EU teams at bangkok? I think people are really sleeping on the chinese teams again especially with tejo in play

I can see why its shady in sea fans perspective now, but still I truly believe it was just a business move by SOOP and RIOT. Remember SOOP was already investing in val for a few years now with off season tournaments. So Im guessing SOOP is out of sea tier 2 by 2026. I wonder if RIOT has the balls to even cut the deal after just 1 year.

then Im confused on why they dont have the rights to SEA t2 this season. But either way, considering all the backlash its seems likely SOOP wont be here for too long.

so basically you guys are saying JAKE SIN and riot chose SOOP to kill SEA t2. Do u guys understand how crazy that sounds? What it looks like is actually SEA TO didnt give a better deal to RIOT so they chose SOOP. I mean shit SOOP is paying for all the expenses lol. Anyone with a logic brain can understand that SOOP signing is not the move but bro please tell your region to invest more.

if you look deeper in you can actually see that SEA and South asia is just not ready for pc esports. EVEN japan is struggling but at least they have the money to invest, and the games have always been close, even last year idk why people are overreacting.

exclusive deal but Im pretty sure no SEA TO offered anything to RIOT. Remember SOOP is covering all the costs. So imagine if a SEA TO bought rights and actually invested in their own scene. Too bad they broke. They aint investing shit. Yet its riot and jake sins fault? Where are all the nice off season events from SEA. Why do they want handouts?

dont post these? This post is in retaliation to all the sea fans coping about politics and excuses, has nothing to do with korea domination in pacific.

I mean korea def has the orgs to create a league but Im wondering if it is even worth it. I rather korean teams just stack up the 4-5 teams they have instead of spreading it around the whole league.

league has a huge hold in korean esports. Nothing comes close, asking for 10 teams from korea is a lot. They were never about quantity but quality, koreans dont care about having a lot of teams but having really great ones.

I dont think korea can create a league with 10 korean teams atm or ever maybe

edg players played just as long as most val pros. People forget but chinese pros had access to val with vpn since 2021. Not just edg btw

Will get absolutely stomped by most pacific teams, this current prx 5 is the only reason they arent a bottom 3 team rn

Bro how tf did rrq lose this

GEN 2-0 mark my words

I feel like they got a chance. Maybe warbirds anti strat coming in

koreans do not claim this weirdo

its fine remember geng last year wasnt winning comfortably at all. As long as you win the map and series thats all that matters + kush had a quiet game

talon not going to bangkok buddy and RRQ lowkey can sweep the lowers bracket

russians be shooting different sometimes and no that team has no igl

new LOUD lineup looks nice so far

man everyone thought that geng 2024 roster was mid as fuck when it was announced. We just gotta wait and see, sure the other regions look good, but I dont trust G2 or heretics just as much as pacific. If anything I think china shows out

there are still plenty of great korean talent not playing on korean teams btw

xeus goes nuclear

GENG stew is the future, and if t3xture retires, hes not leaving geng anytime soon. Foxy9 is very mid, he is either thanos or a bot no in between. Cant have someone like him anchor or spearhead a team with trophy wishes.

if only my boy suggest didnt get traumatized during his stint with dfm he could have been on geng. He would have fried with solo and hsk again. But realistically

T3xture
munchkin
karon
Zest/L0B
udotan/Rb/Cabeza

geng or prx gets activated here, one way or the other, pacific gets a boost for bangkok

they have different playstyle now

hes the leader on the roster so yea why not

really? I remember watching all the games, besides that champions 2022 bo5 haven game, mako was winning that matchup in stats + individual. OPTIC was just the better team

Marved aint own nobody that was yay

Like I said drx is top 3 minimum with this roster

KFA aka korean football association is corrupted too so I truly understand. The people at the top never listen to the peoples demands.

nah you dont fluke 2 maps in a row. They are really good on bind, even korean casters think that

I can agree with that, champs 2024 was a disaster for pacific. 3 grouped teams is crazy I wont lie.

really? I think drx would be better than most americas teams, GENG would destroy in 2024, and T1 shouldve beat g2 at shanghai but choked didnt they? So yes I think korea teams would be good in americas even based on 2024. Imo pacific is very underrated, people still think this region is nothing without prx and the korean teams but I bet you RRQ and talon can beat a lot of the americas teams. Even Team secret on a good day can send a message. But yes americas is the best region atm I agree, but still pacific is pretty underrated, they are improving year in year out

you are right but korea is better than latam im sorry. SEA is more successful than LATAM. LATAM best achievement came from aspas and 2 americans. And if korea played in americas they would be more successful than brazil or latam teams and thats a fact. Thats is where work ethic comes into play.
