kaajak gotta fix is slow starts hes very momentum based but when he gets going hes insane
most overrated player oat ngl patmen was mid asf
this is true but overall drx fundamentals are usually good they looked a little rough here but the individuals were still on point.
i feel like slt will grow over the year and the individuals are def tier 1
then we dont really know how they will seed the ascension teams
you do know that frost doesnt speak thai right? and 3 of the lev players speak english
that too but still when you look at the scoreboard against NRG and then the result of the match whenever you see something like that its always a macro diff
i agree its not a super team but regardless its getting those kind of things said about them
personally i think verno could grow into a good igl but it was his calling that let them down in champs
also vit and nrg both died to personality issues not really gameplay like obviously they had gameplay issues but they were fixable if the vibes werent fucked on the team
did they do that last year and have 2G seeded 12th?
about mibr?
they have the super team expectations which i mean i get it aspas x zekken on the same team but the season starts in just over a month and they are yet to play a single scrim
no ball knowledge if you think nova is bottom of china
assuming its seeded by overall standings last year which would make the most sense here would be the match ups
100T
vs - Winner Plays G2
LEV
C9
vs - Winner Plays MIBR
FUR
EG
vs - Winner Plays SEN
ENVY
KRU
vs - Winner Plays NRG
LOUD
i know talon was a hk team but they rebranded their team around being a thai rep and i doubt boom will do anything close to that i imagine they are just gonna sign a few talon players and make them speak english
if they dont pick up the entire talon roster imma be pissed because theres no way they sneak into the league TWICE
(also this is a indo team wtf is riot talking about finding a committed thai rep my ass LOL)
pretty sure ive already said it but onur the coach of lev does not believe in anti so no matter how good the roster is on paper (i think they are all insane) this team will not be successful in a week to week format if they dont prep for their opponent. i know opinions are high just because they won that off season event but it still proves nothing to me the players were obviously good.
unfortunately we are going into a awp heavy meta and they no longer have a fraudulent coaching staff
its currently between zynx and efina for the last spot i assume how zynx performs at this event will determine their roster
hes talks about it when he streams
sayf is currently studying in sweden and wants to be close to family so im not sure if he would comeback to sub in
you know he was their main midround voice during 2024 right?
zhe and stew are insane right up there with chichoo and kangkang but kklin, jkuro, and yuicaw i dont think are the caliber of a nobody, smoggy, cb personally in terms of firepower
i do just think edg have the most firepower in china maybe with the format changes to kickoff it wont matter as much but to me it was either them or jdg and i have more faith in edg
AMERICAS:
G2
you can say im biased but i think g2 has consistently proven they are better than their regional competition and always have good meta reads at the start of a season
100T
pains me to say this as a 100t hater but the coaching staff is too good
FURIA
this roster is actually insane if you know ball and they have been working very hard all off season unlike a certain brazilian team
CN:
FPX
they looked very good at the end of last year on some maps but now legija has got to build is roster it looks even better, taiwan talent is gonna become a turkey, korea, thai sort of story
XLG
upgraded firepower and i feel like they have shown they can be competitive internationally just are yet to have a breakout run
EDG
cb fixes edg role issue and 24k prevents me from leaning into autumn hate train assuming 24k does timeouts they are in good hands
EMEA:
VIT
idk who the sub will be but i think emea is looking pretty weak so the sub would have to be pretty bad for me not to think they are top 3 with this core
FNC
i just assume this core will always be near the top of the region so im hedging my bets they are top 3 and i liked veqaj on m8s
GX
fundamentals looked really good last year and i have more faith in the roster than heretics going into the next meta
PAC:
PRX
should still be pretty good
DRX
should still be pretty good
RRQ
should still be pretty good
most of 2024 he was playing with a wrist injury and hes transitioning to igl role
emea looking overall pretty weak i could see them being a top 3 team i especially like the structure they brought in with pal, scutt, and jampii
the roster is good but onur is a known terrorist the team will not win anything with him coaching it
if they are even able to field one in time for kickoff they will at best have 2 weeks of practice this is gonna be apeks but even worse
im probably the biggest mibr doubter that roster is not it
surely we find out in the next couple weeks
lakia is so much better than you think lol he played most of 2024 with a wrist injury
have you actually watched yatsuka play? like at all? idk why your acting like hes some ruxic level pick up. playing perma senti is different from picking the role up especially when he was not stand out on the role, its gonna take a lot of work for him to get to a tier 1 level on the role especially if he continues his habits from tier 2
here is more proof
https://www.vlr.gg/event/2311/challengers-2025-japan-split-3
sort by yoru and then kj or vyse or whatever senti you want
his stand out agent is yoru and hes flexed around to every role he hasnt played perma senti ever in his career
honestly only reinforces my point tbh hes gonna have to role swap on zeta and his stand out play in challengers has not been his senti flex
he doesnt have the mechanics for tier 1 and he plays like hes better than everyone else in japan because its full of washed up players,
yatsuka has played against tier 1 players before these were the results

id be happy to be proven wrong im not trying to hate i just dont think this move makes any sense when you consider who else they could have got and imo he will have to adjust a lot to tier 1 environment
apex in 2025 is insane work imo the devs are actually clueless
