dang fr? a pity

i thought gunkorea was in the team. i was thinking hopefully gunkorea + fivek + moothie + persia + idk

any update on fivek's team?

didnt prx benkai say scrimming vs drx literally contributed to their performance in vct lmao. (same with TS dupstep he also said drx were such a challenge and helped them learn a lot)

1,2. sample size from all over the world indicates that chamber transition has not affected performance. playing chamber is quite simple given u already get site control value from trips and have safe fragging potential that no other agent besides jett has

3. i certainly believe they need firepower. they have one of the worst midrounds ive seen if texture gets picked off early, everything becomes difficult.
4. true
   you too

u keep giving hypotheticals like 'what makes you think he can ___' but i can also ask 'what makes u think he cant pop off again?'. and the whole point of filling him on chamber is that its mechanically simple and easiest to fill in to (esp easy considering he was a jett be4). in fact i dont even know a player whos transitioned to chamber who isnt playing bad. even shanks whos having bad jett games rn is doing good with chamber. saya was also inactive for a while, and the time between now and stage 2 is a long time so i dont see why not he cant fit in if a roster change happens soon.

nu was a 4 game sample space on a new team. like i said earlier saya didnt pop off in t1 and was often placed in another role, which is almost identical to hyeonis situation dont u think? and the reason why im emphasising acs is because what dk lacks is firepower. every time texture dies its pretty much a round loss. compare other tier 1 teams in korea. ons and drx have all 5 players who can step it up and get multikills. can u say the same about dk other than maybe exy and esper (who r both inconsistent as of this stage)?

like i said harry getting signed is an uncertainty. hyeoni is literally signed rn. im not saying hyeoni will make them beat drx, but is it not an immediate improvement? nu was a sample space of liek 4 games or something on a team he just joined so its understandable, and he was on skye half the time. obviously we dont know if he would fit chamber, but hes not a complex agent at all and almost every jett main who now plays chamber (yay, leaf, buzz, the list goes on) is finding success so i dont see why hyeoni cant.

pessi nothing without barca. cant score in farmers league

true players like esperanza look so out of place in terms of chemistry. but i dont see why adding more firepower would hurt esp now since the seasons over and perfect chance to reformulate everything

they def have it in them, just missing something. and here im getting flamed because i think a bench player whos previously known for the highest acs, is a better choice than the consistent bot fragger with mediocre igling. rofl

all im saying is dk need a consistent fragger other than texture which is where hyeoni comes in. jeonghis igl is not good enough to excuse his poor performance and could probably be replicated by other players on the team like exy and intro. but since texture already fills the duelist role and exy can fill quite well, hyeoni can slot into the chamber role. tldr its not a hard concept to grasp that mechanically this lineup is better, and u can only go up from the dumpster fire which was dk's strats

yeah because eugene will totally play duelist lmao so what is even the point of bringing his duelist acs up. and what point r u trying to make with esperanza being a sentinel in the past.

whats also funny is you rating jeonghi and eugene above hyeoni lmao. and players like harry may choose any org of his choice so its uncertain, whereas hyeoni is literally signed so im talking about roster changes with the pieces they already have.

are you really comparing an international russian sanction with days of discussion of what to do to which is not just limited to esports, to a couple minute/hour notice?

u dont average the highest acs in the whole of korea by having 1 good map lol. and like i said below, overrated or not damwon is in need of a consistent fragger other than texture as everyone else is inconsistent af

bruh eugene averages like 120 acs lol. and his usual role is already filled by esperanza.

it doesnt matter if hes overrated or not, hes still an upgrade. and him not making the cut isnt an argument lmao, saya didnt make the cut for t1 but we all know now he was better than everyone on that roster. and whether u like it or not, communication is vital as an igl and that man is not communicating! and whether or not behind the scenes he is, it is clearly not working.

dont blame riot. if a team doesnt turn up, regardless of the accident, whether its esports, sports, etc its on the team.

i know jeonghi is the igl but does that mean hes immune from getting dropped? they look worse than when secret was igl despite the talent on the roster. none of their plays are cohesive and clean and are instead all scrappy and relies heavily on texture frags. sure then, exy can igl since he has the experience because regardless their current roster lacks leadership and chemistry

put hyeoni on chamber, move exy to initiator/fill , drop jeonghi, move intro to smokes (from what ive seen on the kr valorant videos, intro communicates a lot so probs igl as well)

thats what they get for putting hyeoni on the bench. put hyeoni on chamber, move exy to initiator/fill , drop jeonghi, move intro to smokes (from what ive seen on the kr valorant videos, intro communicates a lot so probs igl as well)

makes up for all the timings they had against drx in their first match xd

they live with 1 player like every time lmao. and even that last round was timing. oh well u cant fault luck ggs

i wanna see drx vs c9 on haven

what r u on about. i specifically remember lck hitting 120k+ views (t1 vs dk) on both the eng and kr twitch stream so like 250k off a regular season game twitch views. not to mention this doesnt factor is the MASSIVE chinese streaming sites and korean streaming sites. and on twitch they average over 100k combined at the bare minimum even with shit lck teams playing.

my original comment did not discredit the cn players i dont think, simply stated the best players on the team were korean, which was a response to the fact that the guy said 'china owns korea'.

ehhh it was an exaggeration so mb on that part. not tryna discredit everyone else but its an undeniable fact that all 3 teams had their best players from korea, and more importantly they were the most consistent (besides theshy) on the team throughout the splits, not just in the finals. and tbh i dont even know ur point in ur original reply

role value doesnt equate team value. if u have a dogshit jungler, he may be playing the most impactful role but that doesnt mean hes the most impactful to the team. and imagine sayings sup, top is more impactful than mid

chinese core? the literally world mvp and the best adc of the year were both korean LMAO

because the 2 koreans hard carry the team and are superstars. for example, 2018 ig --> the shy, rookie --> best top and mid in that year. 2019 fpx --> doib --> best mid. 2021 edg --> scout, viper --> worlds mvp, best adc. and the comment i replied to says china, korea not lpl,lck

dont think they went 18-0 tho

no china owns money --> they get korean players. the best players on the chinese teams which have won worlds are all korean LMAOO

dk need hyeoni on chamber/flex

the best and most consistent

literally have a c9 flair...they nearly lost to knights just like how drx nearly lost to wgs. i guess that makes 2 overrated teams LOL

depends on map pick i think. wgs 2-0ed ons so im leaning to drx

havent lost an international game on this map but ok

sea teams thought they were gonna win champs but alright. and nats in his interview said that drx were their biggest threat coming into the tourney

i swear theyve saved every gun round

he was insane in the old vision strikers. dk what happened tho hes very passive now

2-1 ace 1-2 gmb 1-2 fnc 1-2 c9. but sure they cant compete with eu

hes like 270+ acs for every agent rn. dont care if its japan thats still hella good

zest kinda inting atm. lakia would be better than zest. and i havent seen any insane strats by drx from zest's igl so idk

LAKIAAAA I MISS YOU T-T

i miss lakia....

as of right now tarik himself is averaging more viewers than the entirety of cs LMAOO

what map? fracture?

but other than the esports scene it literally is dead lol

krunker > all
