2 days and 21.25 hours till Acend 2-0 (13-5, 13-6 ) BBL

1. I’ve been speaking fax all along (wrong)

2 and 3 are left as an exercise to the reader.

not choosing the genderbent kirito?

your opinion is objectively wrong.

how many children did you sacrifice to finally post something that's not cringe

Top NA ~> Top APAC = Top KR > Average NA = Top JP > Average SEA = Average KR> Average JP.

NA has a lot more depth. APAC has great top teams, but a lot of rough teams partially due to the disparity in skill within SEA regions (HK/TW, SA in particular). IMO, the top APAC teams like the top NA teams are contenders for VCT events.

Korea has had a severe problem in their depth for a while. Finally, it seems there is at least one or two other teams that may consistently challenge DRX (VS).

JP has improved, however, it seems their reliance on import players may be causing problems. ZETA has looked impressive.

I agree.

I will choose to state that I am the best entity on this site, as I am far superior to be classified the same as you lowly "users".

This is assuming the "new meta" does end up being fast hits and frequent chaotic retakes.

SEA teams, as demonstrated in Champs, have moved past the fast hit, all aim no brain tactics for a while now, visible in PRX and XIA's strategy. I don't think the new meta will benefit them greatly nor do I think it will hurt them that much.

LOUD in particular may end up being able to make a dent, I think their playstyle will be greatly augmented by the pace of the new meta.

I don't think the meta will be a big reason for the success of a "minor" region team, if it does occur. If anything, it'd simply be because they improved. It's, in my opinion, irrational to believe teams like PRX, XIA, KRU, and others are well below NA (especially) but also EMEA teams after Champions 21.

I think there's a definite possibility for a minor region team to win an event. HOWEVER, I do think EMEA teams are favored compared to any other region.
Personally, I believe there aren't many teams close to Gambit, even with their recent loss to FPX. Fnatic, Guild, Liquid and others aren't far behind, either.

Guild 2-0
DRX 2-0
Guard 2-1

Goddamn you killed 'em

Still undoubtedly second through investment, player and fan base and previous achievements.

If under-performance continues, then NA's position may be in jeopardy

May depend on the venue , too. The one used for Champs and Berlin doesn't have seats behind the stage.

100% agree its better though, and that's how it is in League, too.

I like how vlr.gg doesn't realize that all the posters are me on different accounts. Dont believe me? watch me post this on my other accounts:

2-0

Close maps, 13-9, 13-11

IMO, they should copy the EMEA format, with slight changes.

combined league with no SEA import rules + regional leagues with country based import rules.

well, they wouldn't be called team secret if you knew where they were!

it's a secret!

It's going to be a rough road for any of these teams. Every team will have to show off their setups and overall strategy to try and escape the group, leading to an undoubtedly harder time in the group stage - the non play-in teams have the advantage in preparation from the get-go.

yeah

every time I see the stars and stripes I do vocal exercises to ensure that my throat doesn't get sore from excess laughter

Also, play-ins group A is super stacked. FS, Onic, BAAM, and APH.

Bleed, Naos AND Xerxia????

(and, maybe even one of Full Sense/Onic/APH depending on where the play-in teams go)

This is a ridiculous group, since Naos and Bleed are the top 2 teams from T1 APAC regions, along with XIA who are , in my opinion, one of the favorites to win the whole event.

Definitely will be fun to watch.

true, the caster who does the "cuatro ka ka ka ka" stuff is a legend. I'm using the streams to practice my Spanish lol.

Tenz is freudian !?

where can i get some TenZ Mommy Milk?
