his schizophrenia's getting worse

kangkang does his job of being a flashy aggressive fragger extremely well, and even when he doesn't go positive his team still follows up on whatever tf he does

This season especially is really bad when it comes to the anime-esque powerscaling that the fanbase is falling into for some goddamn reason. Of course there are obvious favorites in some series but ultimately it's never a clear outcome until it's over. Sudden blips of genius in a team's overall gameplan or fundamental understanding of the game is ALWAYS a possibility to occur and stick.

G2 has only proven the concept of a coach being the most important long-term team factor more and more. The G2-NRG contrast is gonna be an omen for things to come if some orgs don't get their shit together

improvement's never a linear line and that's the problem with a lotta viewers, and even when a team improves exponentially during a split or tourney they'll still cry fluke until the truth is unavoidable. hell, it wasn't until fucking America's playoffs that people finally gave G2 credit and admitted that they were actually fucking good and not Icy simply having a "life game"

are the meds on your desk also a hallucination from your psychosis?

no blame is thrown and no excuses made. only grindset

i fw that heavy

for the most part i'd say this is accurate, but Trace and Vitality are equal in my eyes cuz Vitality's reliance on Trexx in that series and Trace's habit of screwing up some small details that bites them in the ass balances out

w timeout from the greatest chinese igl of 2023

he put the possibility into the world now. LEV are gonna FUCKING LOSE

and haodong & muggle took up the coaching duties

they're asleep expecting their favorite teams to not get grouped HAHAHAHAHAHA

hence why i said 'the list goes on'. hell EDG are playing properly atm, too. the only teams that I would definitely say do NOT are FPX and PRX (not saying BLG cuz they're more sloppy than anything) and we know how that ended up lol

cned is cursed to lose with subpar teams against CN every major he attends

Fnatic, TH, GENG, LEV whenever they're not slumping, the list goes on

prx is uncontained aggression that has no concept of slowing down. CN teams understand that playing by-the-book fundamentals is still needed to not throw rounds that they've already pretty much secured. PRX devolved, while CN is gradually figuring things out

he'd have to be very smart in the first place to get the absolutely insane timings he would get in Tokyo and Champs L.A

they're growing on me for sure the more I reminisce abt their season tbh

still on that JDG agenda I see

he's still a psychopath but his calling is pretty sensible overall i'd say

they were literally blow for blow against each other with two OT's that could've gone either way even with FPX's lack of discipline

i'm a little ignorant but wtf does that mean in context of igling

yeah he's pretty fucking good at it too

why is deflowering yourself what you think of

you have good taste 🤤

yk what fair point

Alecks ain't NathanD this shit is burnt and over

nats viper

that roster on TL would go hard 🔥🔥

they had monyet

Josh "We will demand respect through results" RT 🗿🗿🗿

It's a mixture of PRX not adapting much over the time since Shanghai and G2 improving their fundamentals & protocols. i'd imagine it wouldn't be hard to simply go through the motions atp considering they've already experienced them once

yeah but tbh i think yuicaw joining wolves with spring was for the best. if they get their stuff together they could form a really consistent roster. yuicaw would be the glue to keep the structure together

i'd rather have Yuicaw on a roster built around him, eren, and spring than current FPX honestly

that's unfortunate. i never really had strong feelings for the org but for how well the apeks core did in tier 2 I was saddened to see they didn't finish on the top half of the season.

does this imply that they made the roster with the intention of having excellent individual firepower? Nats is still very clean from what i recall of watching split 1, but that's about all I can tell from my limited exposure to the region

can anyone explain wtf happened to Liquid this year? i swear on paper they didn't look as mediocre as they did coming into the season. was it bad coaching decisions, roster moves, or smth else?

nah he'll be fine next year when they build around him SURELY

ik that's what i'm saying brah. the only reason it's close in the first place is because CNED does some crazy shit every-so-often to pull them through and they STILL throw

if EDG keep their form they definitely have the pedigree to win convincingly, if not for the fact that CNED is always cursed to have his team throw against China specifically. fr though EDG's map pool isn't the worst and they seem to be on a resurgence, but hey what do we know it's fucking EDG

map 3 is abyss 100% if FUT leave it in the pool

1. He either loses to the CN team or it's needlessly close
2. He gives his teams multiple rounds single-handily and they still somehow lose

you're thinking abt FUT not LEV

"We lost to this composition before. Therefore, we did a lot of research on this comp. We understood that if we can't defeat them, we will join them." 🗿🗿🗿 my coaching GOAT

N0xusN0mad

he literally glazes his own team on his podcast lol

what Trace showed was promise--the Chinese teams are still a LONG way from being in form to win. these games are merely an omen for the future of the region and what they're capable of. for now let's just appreciate them getting to this spot in the first place

THEY WORKED SO FUCKING HARD THIS YEAR LFGGGGGG

not even close lmfaoooooo

to go from choking both Madrid to Shanghai when they were so fucking close to beating the EMEA #2 seed is a big fucking jump in results. regardless if they were this good all along (which they were) it's still a big af accomplishment for this core
