or maybe they just fell off lmao dont even act as if 2022 fs was the same as lcq fs. boom was also in 2021 lcq and they are in 2022 lcq as well. "tells alot about the competition of region" ok fine then cuz dk been losing to teams like holymoly and maru i guess that also "tells alot about the competition of region"

no they 13-0ed GE and didnt verse FS once

our average games bring 15k. that obviously increases with more popular teams

GE is a well renowned and trusted org as well tho no? its not like a scummy org that ive heard SA pubg mobile orgs are

they didnt specifically come 5th in champs, and that roster had pati, whilst dk roster has improved by twofold. guys using the fact that dk lost to ge when we can say dk beat prx lmaoooo.

theres no physical capacity in which one looks at dk ons roster and goes 'damn ge is better on paper!' or watches the gameplays of both and goes 'damn GE is better coordinated and better strategically!'. but yeah they will probably get one due to GE huge viewership

all of xerxia got diffed by meteor and joxjo. meteor wasnt even considered a top 3 duelist in kr and joxjo was a 'no name'. nt

and did nothing again while dk came 3rd in that tourney. wheres ge now?

hes talking about entertainment from a viewers persepective. ngl kr games are quite boring

sa cant even beat tier 2 apac

oce and sa getting spots in asian league...

i think the best kr and jp teams are way more disciplined and strategically better, but they could do damage fs

who you guys got? my preds are

1. DK
2. NTH
3. ONS (might be lower than CR depending on who they pick up)
4. CR
5. EDG
6. KONE
7. MARU
8. REJECT

what is decision making lol. no offense but he did this all day yesterday as well i dont understand

blame optic for losing not riot LMAO

got a taste of his own medicine

LETS GOOOOOOO

but the thing is drx is normally very good in scrims. this is very good tho, at least they can learn from their loss

oh fuck

idk that 213 acs on jett is kinda iffy but i havent actually watched the games to know its context

honestly i have maru not doing very well simply due to the fact that i think they will lose first bloods a lot because of their lack of firepower but who knows

imagine suggest on damwon T-T would truly be drx's match in terms of firepower

interesting to see who will play out of bangnan and esp. both of them have been spamming controller games in ranked

W

fr people are acting as if riot rigged a na vs na matchup

it doesnt matter you still have to quarantine. u can still have the virus and spread it to others even if u test negative cuz theres an incubation period of the virus

u have to self quarantine when u land bruh

fnc are similar to drx in terms of their methodical playstyle. i think fnc > prx comfortably

i think ssun > allow but i guess they dont want to repeat the hyeoni situation

really? id say they put allow on duelist because t3xture is not the best at raze

if u guys think meteor is good wait till u guys see texture ;)

what happened

huge IF

lmao read the title and jumped st8 to comments

you can look at it like 'Xset is already qualified to champions and they have yet to play an international series is stupid' cuz of the low circuit points needed but u can also justify the low amount of points by thinking it as filtering teams not in form. say there are 3 masters (2int 1 domestic) what if a team gets a lot of points from 2 masters earlier in the year, but in the last masters they become dogshit or maybe they dont even qual for masters at all like c9 for example (top 3 na not winning 1 game). you woudlnt want that kind of team at champions would u

'much better last year' bro there was also 2 international masters last year

am i wrong? its a literal fact that these players are averaging way better in other regions in asia compared to when they played in kr. search it up ur not sure u cant lie with the stats

funny because he was the reason why drx destroyed fpx. died first 100s of times for no reason. suygetsu wont help ur bot gameplay man

ive said it before and ill say it again. whenever a korean gets imported, their statistics go WAY higher than when they played in korea. for example in japan, on average korean imports gain around 30 acs. korean 'noname' fill players literally shit on the regions they get imported to compared to when they played in kr. that can only mean one thing, competition in korea is harder than the other region.

joxjo went 57/40 /22 against the 2nd best apac team. before he joined nth, he was a no name and his team got shit on every team, one of those 'talentless' players u are referring to. udotan is a noname korean player who go imported to PH. he averages 280 acs on jett on talon (pretty big org), what did he average in korea? 220 acs.

ok so ur top 2 teams outside of prx can do decently well against them. krs worst can do well against them. its not the same

btw kr vct has 2 streams, eng and kr. eng stream averages around 10k for the finals i think is saw 15-20. the korean stream went up to 10k at one point (early into the stage) but usually averages around 4-5k. that combined is bigger than every sub region in apac viewership.

drx would shit on apac as well so first of all lets not even bring up that drx is better than everyone in kr. if you wanna judge just how competitive korea is i suggest u search the tourney up in vlr. i want you to see just how many 11-13 maps there were between every team including teams like DK. even the worst team got to 11-13 vs DRX twice or something like that. and i really doint understnad how number of players indicate how strong a region is. if anything, having lower number of players means you are versing the best in the region hence making it more competitive. why do you think franchising is gonna happen? they are reducing the amount of teams so that each team will play highest competitive games

1. still had more slots than kr in champions
2. i brought it up cuz bren obtaining visa literally does not mean anything or guarantee results. they werent that much better than prx (2 of the 3 maps went OT) and prx bombed out at the very bottom of their group without winning a game.

because "Bleed eSports Obtains $50.8M Investment From Asia Venture Capital". wow sponsered by oppo when dk is sponsered by Kia Adidas. oppo has networth of 500 million (2020 source so likely around 800 million as they gain 150mill annually), kia has 6 billion networth and adidas has 14 billion networth. all u have to know is ur comparing one of the biggest LoL orgs to a mobile gaming org

again with ur numbers, WHO CARS HOW MANY PLAYERS THERE ARE, HOW MUCH MONEY THEY BRING IN ETC ETC ETC we are discussing region strength not region popularity

top 3 top 8 > top 8 top 8 no matter how u look at it. 'who knows what bren could have done with visa' when i could say 'who knows what VS could have done if they didnt vs GMB in the quarters', mind u bren literally thought VS was the best team in the world at that time and GMB themselves had said VS is their biggest threat.

going off international results alone in 2021, kr- top 3 finish, top 8 finish. sea- 2 top 8 finishes. and u cant use the fact that kr had 2 teams in masters when sea had 3 in champions when kr had 1. cant be bringing excuses like visa when i can also start using excuses like 'drx happened to vs gmb in quarters and were the only team to take a map off them in playoffs' or like 'teams like TS had the easiest route to playoffs in champions whilst drx had to verse 2 major region teams in their group'

do you know what dk is? they literally won LoL worlds 2020, they are so big. i fact checked and DK has nearly earned more than all those orgs combined off earnings. by the way dk is damwon KIA, they are literally funded by a car company

how is there a lack of talent? do you even watch the games? you think meteor is good, wait until you see texture. theres no way you look at dk and ons rosters and think 'oh thats little talent'. and views and sponsers isnt the matter at hand when discussing region strength is it
