makes sense

they’re normally just decent

never abysmal but never particularly good

were lev insanely good or were c9 horrible

dont understand why they werent playing more double duelist with 3 duelist players on the team and poppin whos most comofrtable agent is probably skye

would also make eggsterr’s job easier when getting accustomed

wolves retake the site with util. big difference bud.

were going to be fine dude we'll at least be 3rd seed

they have the same coaching staff and 3/5 of the same players from when we couldnt beat them

geng also did play very well today and like i said we lost one game in a group stage that will hardly make a difference

better to lose and have all your mistakes corrected early than get to an international having not been punished which is what happened to prx in stage 1 and 2 2024

stop being so fucking pessimistic and calling a group stage game 'crucial'

they lost 1 (one) group stage game against the team that we havent beat in vct for 23 months

we are also cursed against this team

its the reason why no other malaysian is in tier 1 if we try too hard it becomes unfair

yea im chinese ethnically myself and i know what you mean, chinese culture in general is a lot of 'idc what other people are doing if it doesnt affect me'

and also china does have a history of gender non-conformity

i think it's because when they fight a lot of the map they want him to stay on a kj or vyse where they can absorb a lot of the pressure if the attackers go the other way

haven isnt like that because even the most aggressive teams will not run straight execs and most pressure is from util exchanges instead of aim duels

so they either change their comps to allow him to play chamber or keep to the comfort of the team

most of the transphobia in china is familial and in older generations, the attitude of younger people isnt too dissimilar to people in western countries

all of na t2 chat is the most brain numbing shit ever

this is geng's map pick

also roster makes more sense

something is also not playing very well and on top of that was getting ridiculously unlucky in the first 15 rounds

the only times where davai has been injured or in a slump the team doesnt do well

2024 and early 2025

if santiago was a fluke then secret winning a single map this season was also a fluke

darker is mechanically insane

and francis' yoru was never anywhere near as dynamic as eggsterr's
like i said give him time and put him on simple roles and he will do good

BETTER CHAMBER THAN Y0Y

they expected way too much out of eggsterr and put him on agents where there are a lot of gimmicks to learn to play it well

i reckon he can become a flex that uses agent gimmicks really well because of his yoru creativity but it seems like they rushed him onto the end goal and didnt want sacrifice comps or ideas to keep him more comfortable

also i think they have overreacted to the yoru meta because he is definitely still viable on breeze if you have the best yoru in the world

anyone but lakia getting replaced

nah he was pretty well known at the time

not the most known talent but was good

do you have parasites in your brain

at least youve got bruno mars and manny pacquiao

jawg neon + flor on jett/phoenix most maps would be good

philippines has some of the highest potential in the world its got to the point where its upsetting how much ts is ruining the development of this region

keep us posted mate riveting stuff

ameowzing

onur doesnt antistrat

do you think hes better or what

flair ?

so tough cause all 4 of those teams deserve to go to london imo

teams take time to adjust to the meta and after the yoru nerf we've seen a lot of variety in approach to comp archetypes. ns have tried to go back to stuff that has worked in the past as it is an easy short-term fix but i believe that their coaching staff are definitely good enough to find a way of running a similar playstyle in this new meta

there have been 20 series and neon has been played at least once in a map 44 times

there is at least one neon on a map almost every single map and they are almost always having the most amount of impact not just in fragging but also in terms of gathering information and helping with team fights

she doesnt have >75% pickrate so far for no reason man

is that not number 3

dambi clearly isnt playing well today and even still on fracture he was, on solo duelist, throwing his life for the team fight so much of the time and allowing xross and francis to finished the rounds

again go and watch any other game and sentinels look absolutely useless versus this agent

a player going negative doesnt mean an agent is bad what the fuck are you talking about

watch any other game from any region this entire split

and if thats too much just look at the scoreboards man genuinely one of the most brainless takes ive seen in a while

they should be able to see this though, because when neon was in a stronger state last year she was not picked this much

it was only the massive offseason patch that made sentinels and initiators worse for no reason

the only reason why pick rates are high in vct right now is because of the map pool, not because of the meta

fracture haven pearl and a lot of the time on lotus teams want to play a sentinel

if they dont see that then replace the whole balancing team

if sentinels were good it would make up for neon's movement being so strong

when cypher was really strong in 2024, neon was way more broken than she is right now and yet didnt seem as invasive as neon is right now

this match is so fun to watch man

krx

its mainly makeup for the photos when they show the scoreboard if thats what youre talking about

termi and argency's strats have always been really good and they essentially pioneered set plays and double init ideas back in 2021

everything else is questionable from them

555 recently won thailand split 1 open qualifier

what did sen win then lmao

if they merge south asia and southeast asia into one then i guess

but that’s also like 30% of the worlds population in one region then

prx also had competent coaching staff to implement a new player and understand their strengths and a team that shot their guns back at the enemies

neither of which heretics seem to be capable of doing

skye
