Dude even India does better than this lmao

We might have delays but at least our HUDs and streams work XD

Recency bias goes crazy...
Gen.G, if they keep their roster (although I hope they kick that bum Lakia), would still be a top 4 team in the world at WORST

vlr when home crowd roots for home team :

PH is another 3rd world country which means shit production lmao

SPG >>> 2G > APK > XLG

Yeah but it was literally only the first day
After that it was smooth sailing

First day production hiccups are acceptable, but production issues until the fucking grand final? Nah bro

Man these dumbass TOs have ONE job bro

Tier 1 teams try to develop talent instead of hoping for short term success challenge

I stay away from vlr for two days and all of a sudden there's some hot drama going on

What is it about

Judging by his agent pool, it seems like he's gonna be the recon initiator of the team, and Jinggg might be full time duelist.

f0rsakeN - Flex
d4v41 - Sentinel
Jinggg - Duelist
something - Initiator
mindfreak - Controller

Although I prefer f0rsakeN on the sentinel role since his KJ was so much better than d4v41's in 2023, and he always gets good lurk timings

Brother is desparate to get M80 in VCT Americas 😭

Bruh I remember this guy being a demon on LAN and called a 'prodigy' by many...
Wtf happened to him this year? Weight loss debuff or what

0.67 800 DPI
Gold 2

Seoldam finishes the game and the series with his signature bladestorm right click

India somehow good at things that require brains and strategy but bad at physical games

Prelude to Chaos is my favourite tier 2 Thai player fr

I mean, they have to make Champs at least to remain in VCT EMEA for 2026, so I wouldn't be surprised if they made any big roster moves

They have 0 funding

Yeah Riot is gonna pay them next year smartass

They're not gonna do shit in tier 1 anyways

So you're assuming that they'll be shit like 4 months before the season starts, great

Bruh can y'all stop like I legit see at least 5 SEN Zander posts every time I open this site...

BRO WHERE WAS THIS SKROSSI ALL THIS TIME

RNT if you're ever reading this, MAKE SKROSSI YOUR SENTINEL PLAYER PLZ

Dude there IS going to be no problem lmao
If the problem with Ascension was that the orgs didn't have much fan following, then why even keep tier 2 in the first place? It's gonna be alright

Nah they're winning against FUR, MIBR, and EG at worst

Buddy Riot isn't letting M80 ascend calm your tits

Are the BR teams other than maybe LOUD just super incompetent when it comes to scouting? Cuz no way players like silentzz, zap, lz, Sato, lukxo etc. were still in tier 2 all this time.

Some of your better teams just choked tbh, no way TSM made Ascension they looked ass

Americas Ascension is no longer an NA stomping ground now, great to see

All the top talent, all the facilities, all the scrim partners, all the fanbase...

AND YOU CAN'T EVEN BEAT BR'S #2 TEAM LMAOOOOOO

If 2G don't win Ascension,

LOUD :
zap (IGL)
cauanzin
tuyz
lukxo
silentzz
Have someone as a stand-in until lukxo turns 18 in March

MIBR :
mazin (IGL)
artzin
Sato
rich
liazzi
Have someone as a stand-in until Sato turns 18 in February (he'll just miss Kickoff)

FURIA :
nzr (IGL)
Askia
mwzera
lz
Khalil

If 2G win Ascension then well, idk at that point

Why are people downvoting me lmao do you guys really want PRX to be shit next year as well?

PRX :
-something + HYUNMIN
-Jinggg + Retla

Honestly I think it's time for Jinggg to leave if he can't play sentinel or any other agent than Raze. Ever since he came back to the roster this year, they have been nothing short of mid. The HYUNMIN signing is also rumoured and I think something should make way for him.

Tournament should've originally been in Japan, so this is just a last resort for Riot

I'm expecting a good stage for the top 4 however

sen jzz

Bro out here looking like Kangkang from Champs grand final with that Neon

Bro didn't sugarcoat anything about his skill level, I respect that

"LAST 3 YEARS THIS MUCH DEFEAT I'VE NEVER SEEN!! 3 FUCKING NIL"

o7 to my spam post plant with a 100% WR

Double elimination brackets are made to bring out the true best teams in the tournament because imagine if in a single elimination format, the two best teams face off against each other in the first game. Wouldn't that in a way be unfair to either team since they clearly deserve to be in the grand final but couldn't because they happened to play an opponent as good as them way too early. Like imagine if Masters Shanghai playoffs were single elimination and Gen.G and Heretics faced off in the quarter finals...

Also the 2 map ban + first pick advantage is good enough for the team coming in unbeaten. It's just a massive skill issue that PRX couldn't win two grand finals with that advantage tbh

Can't be washed when you were never good in the first place :)

Imagine having so much money and being unable to have competent TOs for your Esport... Unbelievable

Uhh I guess you're forgetting how shit TYLOO was this year lmao

Incoming RA choke against ALG or something lol

Bro has been going through his yay phase since 2021 ended on god

Or if any VCT CN team wants to poach the roster, same thing - choose between UdoTan and freeing. Why do they do this to themselves bruh

If they make VCT CN they gotta choose between two Koreans, who are again, the best players on their team

Initially I was about to type in my justifications but then it was getting too long so I just typed in the teams

My justification for Apeks was just that they will have a cinderella run much like VIT did this year

Idk, I just think saadhak has that magic in him and he's going to turn an already good KRU team to a championship contender

Masters Bangkok

AME : KRU, NRG
PAC : PRX, GEN
EMEA : TH, FUT
CN : EDG, TE

Winner - TH, Runners-up - KRU

Masters Toronto

AME : LEV, NRG, KRU
PAC : DRX, PRX, GEN
EMEA : FNC, TH, APK
CN : TE, EDG, JDG

Winner - DRX, Runners-up - EDG

Champions 2025

AME : LEV, KRU, SEN, NRG (Champs points)
PAC : GEN, TS, DRX, PRX (Champs points)
EMEA : TH, FUT, KC, FNC (Champs points)
CN : EDG, FPX, JDG, TE (Champs points)

Winner - KRU, Runners-up - TH

Again, I'm 100% going to be wrong, just doing this for fun

The schedule was way too condensed and basically only ran for 6 months
Next year we have a 9 month long schedule and the tournaments are more spaced out

I mean, jokes aside it would've been a bad thing if PCIFIC won Ascension because 3/5 of their players will be under the age of 18 in 2025 and can't compete

Nah fr like these guys gotta be one of the biggest degens on the planet
