Good write up. Look at Primmie for example, unheard of until people started seeing him top ranked ladder games. There's always going to be talented players, but to incorporate them in a team setting successfully, that's a different story. I do however believe that with time, APAC as a whole will soon catch up to the rest of the world, they just have better overall work ethic, they just need the time to grow their macro, micro and strats.
As for KR, they're known to be all in for eSports, been since Starcraft days, so they'll always have the better infrastructure to thrive and succeed. Once other teams start pouring effort and money like that, they too will see success.
I think most teams just refuse to play around others weaknesses and force 'em to play whatever fits comps, unfortunately.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone get a 2.00 before (See game 3). lol Primmie is crazy
the true GOAT vs the false goats (first Yay, next demon1)
Optic held up Yay while EG and Jawg held up Demon1. That's straight up facts. That goes to show that they were successful because of their environment, not because they're the goats. Aspas on the other hand has been consistent no matter what team he went to.
yay and demon1 not even in the conversation. they're just not consistent enough.
sleeping indefinitely
not in any ranked order:
Nongshim Shin Ramyun my fav.
that's a lot a month if he's living in Thailand. He's set lol
He's prolly talking about ranked demons or sub Tier1 players who smash on lower level players thinking they're the best duelists of Turkey. But they arent.
Largest roster of all time. lol
it's a mixture of white knights and simps. Too many of them. Defending entitled Twitch streamers with zero life experience.
@Laundry, he wanted to know what's going on, that video like it or not, has the information. gtfo goofy.
Here's a good breakdown video
it's not that he's cheeks. it's that other teams and players got better. They caught up essentially.
Org might be garbage but at least Potter is still there to lead the team. Can't be that pessimistic when she's won them a World Championship trophy once
Agreed and even prior to bleed he was looking like cheeks in DSG.
now that Yay has been announced to EG, place him too
With Potter, anything is possible. Let's see EG rise again from the ashes.
Been said this since day 1, playing with a group of friends will always be more enjoyable than playing solo. It's just not built to be a fulfilling solo playing game IMO
Just backwards, flawed thinking. They were probably like, "We cannot accept this constructive criticism if it ruins our vibes as a team, so see ya later Rossy!"
They're a bunch of clowns for thinking via emotions instead of actual intelligence with a growth and winning mindset.
Rossy gained so much valuable experience playing in Korea with T1, and bringing it back to NA you can tell he's cut above the rest. Their loss bringing back old blood. Dumb decision tbh.
Simple...you know the saying, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut"
That's PRX lol.
Unlimited Shin ramyun though? That's wassup!
Chinese
Korean
Vietnamese
Mexican
Indian

You could say the same about anything inherently dangerous in life. Just live or don't live. Up to you if you wanna live scared. You can have doubts but not be a bitch about things. That's how I see it.
at 19, most people would not give 2 shits about someone younger than them. even if it's family or relatives. You just gotta suck up your pride and ego. It's not about disrespect. it's about you caring about trivial things. Let him learn his own lessons, you're not his parent, you don't need to set him straight. You're older, you should already expect that kids are or can be immature. Fighting a lost cause IMO.
Time and time again we seen orgs make players move away from their comfort roles versus just working around those. It's a waste tbh to do too much arranging and people may not become as good as what they excelled at prior
Xipto either going to own them, or SR going to choke. Let's see what happens.
Master Yu: May I help you?
Detective James Carter: We'll be asking the questions old man. Who are you?
Master Yu: Yu.
Detective James Carter: No, not me. You.
Master Yu: Yes, I'm Yu.
Detective James Carter: Just answer the damn question! Who are you?
Master Yu: I have told you!
Detective James Carter: Are you deaf?
Master Yu: No. Yu is blind.
Detective James Carter: I'm not blind. You blind.
Master Yu: That is what I just said.
Detective James Carter: You just said what?
Master Yu: I did not say what, I said Yu.
Detective James Carter: That's what I'm asking you.
Master Yu: And Yu was answering.
Detective James Carter: Shut up!
Detective James Carter: You!
Master Yu: Yes?
Detective James Carter: Not you. Him! What's your name?
Mi: Mi.
Detective James Carter: Yes, you.
Mi: I'm Mi.
Master Yu: He's Mi and I'm Yu.
Detective James Carter: And I'm about to whoop your old ass man because I am sick of playing games! You, me? Everybody's ass around here!
This is dope, waiting for the sim results
NRG can only go so far with skill alone. Need Coach and team to step it up. They didn't so that was their result last season.
pretty sure he is. they should go by nationality not by ethnicity imo
For sure. IMO he needs both, a good coach (Potter) and a supportive cast. And yeah it sucks to get bogged down by the internet, but like all MVP players in the spotlight, they get heavily scrutinized when they can't repeat success.
i chuckled reading this. it's so true lol, He couldn't save DSG, couldn't save BLEED. all signs point to Optic being what propelled him in being noticed, without that core squad and foundation, he just isn't cutting it. Makes sense too since he was never a 1v5 type of guy without setup and help.
demon1 is like another Yay to me, need a strong foundation with a supporting cast before he can rise up. He's not going to 1v5 everyone all the time. That's just how it goes, and that's why he was never 1st initiator / aggressive duelist. Hope he'll shine again one day so he doesn't fall into the depths of hell like Yay did.
It's cool, you're not going to convince people who are so blinded by their own beliefs. I for one also agree can't assume Tier 2 will match Tier 1 until we see some matches unfold. If he stays bottom and have low impact. You can come back in a few months and respond with an "I told you so"
I agree with that. I still want to see how it goes before going all in with optimism.
No offense but you sound like one of those florescent fans. Can't assume mada will do anything well until we see him play in legit Tier 1. This upcoming season will tell us if he can hang or not. None of the imaginary, "He did good in Tier 2 so he must be able to repeat the same in Tier 1" type stuff. Just saying. Wait and see.
