I still don’t understand why the final season was so bad. It was supposed to tie up all the loose ends like what BLUE is and why Joichiro struggled, who Erina’s mom is, what happened to Soma’s mom, etc.

I still pretend that the first four seasons are canon and the last one is a filler.

Hong Kong, Taiwanese, even Macau players count as Native players.

Everyone else are imports.

So Zeno is an import, since he’s from Singapore.

It's the year 2045. The Earth is a barren wasteland. Civilization, as we know it, has crumbled. Society, as we know, has collapsed. There is no hope. Just despair. Why? Because Global Esports vs Vitality hasn't started.

all I want is Spring and Eren in the league.

Spring, especially. The dude is a menace on duelist and smokes. He deserves better than NIP, though NIP shouldn't be a bad team on paper.

T1 2-1 but can even be 2-0 with how they performed.

I’m glad to be proven wrong.

T1 look nuts. They really do have the makings of a world-class team.

It is possible they can definitely do that.

But even as a T1 believer, I don't think they will.

Americas - LEV
Americas - LOUD
EMEA - FNC
EMEA - NAVI
Pacific - PRX
Pacific - DRX (T1 looks like the next best pick)
China - EDG
China - FPX (RA if they find a suitable replacement for yoman)

I think T1 will lose, even as a T1 believer.

Not that they are bad, in fact they seem to have the makings of a world class team.

It’s just that EDG have better synergy and chemistry and has been improving tournament after tournament.

2-1 EDG.

So Saya, xeta, xccurate, and Rossy are starting for sure; thus, the fifth is between iZu, k1ng, and Carpe.

Despite not knowing the fifth, Liquipedia is assuming that iZu is starting.

How does the following sound?
Saya - Duelist
xeta - initiator
xccurate - controller? sentinel?
rossy - flex
iZu - controller?

I won't lie, adding Rossy put a wrench in T1; nonetheless still excited to see the roster play.

PRX
EDG
DRX
T1

TL

I might be delusional to say this but I’m convinced if PRX signed Enerii for whatever reason, they’d still be a top tier team and won’t be missing the “jinggg element.”

Real

Nobuo deserved better

Well, ZETA can't win them all.

The ideas are there, but they just got heavily aim-diffed.

Dismally Fading Momentum is a clever one.

Perfectly describes their org’s rep in Japan.

Scary team in the making.

Just a bit more assimilation for yuran and hiroronn, and they'll be a world-class team.

ZETA are better than GEN.G and RRQ

ZETA > RRQ > Gen.G

is still very good, confirmed

Kohaibi

Their:

• DUELIST is on Cypher
• smokes is on Raze
• initiator is on Phoenix
• flex is on Reyna
• sentinel is on Neon

The aim diff is real.

Are there any left-handed players? As an ambidextrous (though favouring right-side more) individual, I haven't seen a lot of lefties.

From tier one to GC and even collegiate.

I hope Lizhi gets better, but this slightly nerfs EDG.

They still have Clem, and she is INSANE. Yusin is solid too so they’ll do enough to make a deep run.

one on hand, thank god DFM are making a decent roster that can please national and international fans.

on the other, kind of iffy that DFM are signing a slumping Crazy Raccoon core. They aren't as strong as they used to be but with JoXJo at the lead, I'm sure DFM can be marginally competitive.

Royal Never Pay Up headass

According to FlyNN's "latest" spreadsheet, DFM were set to pick up:

• allow
• lakia

and keeping

• anthem
• takej (though unlikely)
• xnfri (though unlikely)
• suggest

Since then, the following happened:

• lakia: went to Gen.G (partnership team)
• allow: went to IGZIST (JP Challengers)
• takej: became a streamer
• xnfri: went to VARREL (JP Challengers)
• anthem: staying, though rumours of scrimming with FENNEL (JP Challengers)
• suggest: staying

Rumour is that they are re-signing SSeeS, a former player of DFM's 2022 roster and Melofovia's ex-teammate from his PUBG days.

So who the fuck is DFM picking up if players prefer to play for the tier 2 scene 💀

Similar list but I'd switch TL and EDGS.

Oh, and Faker will get his long-awaited 4th title, while one of Zeus or Guma will be named MVP.

T1 3-1.

T1 clears for sure.

Who do WBG have? pl1xx? That's it?

T1 have always been more complete with Saya and xeta at the helm. Add in Rossy, xccurate, and one of k1ng and iZu, T1 WILL win.

Maybe nota top 5 opper in the world nor in the best team in APAC but solid nonetheless.

Duelist: whzy (BLG)
Initiator: YOU (TE)
Controller: Spring (NIP)
Sentinel: Viva (RA)
Flex: FengF (TE)

KOI and T1

They have solid cores and clout behind the organization. I have been a T1 believer since 2020 (yes, back when brax, AZK, Ska, Curry, Auti, DaZeD, Spyder, etc. were all part of the roster), so I want them to go farther than a group stage exit. They seem to be in a good place rn, but only time will tell if Autumn overcooked with the seven-man roster.

KOI have a great core -- Trexx and Sheydos are beasts, and starxo isn't that bad. I had high hopes for them last year, but they ultimately crumbled. This year, they were linked with many high-profile talent but were unlucky to get snubbed. Kamo seems like a solid pick up, and ShadoW has the tier-one experience, but, on paper, they look very ehh. I hope they become a league contender, possibly even make masters.

This is unbelievably embarrassing.

I always thought DFM had a respectable reputation but after this year’s horrendous fiasco with the LoL team, it has left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth — Japanese and esports fans alike.

Including the fact that DFM only won TWO MAPS last season and their last win was in May 2022 people really don’t believe in them. Hell, their current players don’t either.

DFM need to get their shit together ASAP or it’s going to be another 0-10 season.

Kanavi, not 369

But very, very hype nonetheless.

Big aim roster tbh

Magepunk or Neo-Frontier

The sound on the magepunk is so good.

Origin Op, CSGO Butterfly knife, Oni Guardian

Not too bad tbh

prospected players that got snubbed by other teams

Edit: supposed to be a 🤝 emoji in title

KOI (hopefully)
