nah if nrg had sen’s path they’d be in the same spot right now. already moved on to Toronto, Bangkok is fraudulent

I’ve seen enough, it’s a shame that they’re going to get eliminated tomorrow 😔

tbh they’re fortunate they avoided nrg for so long though, top 3 is pretty lucky for this squad

honestly it probably goes all the way back to kr getting slandered after that LCQ with DK, F4q, and Nuturn

brother was not there to witness sea fans reactions to kr getting 3 slots. the kr fanboys are being annoying right now but a decent portion of sea fans deserve it ngl.
not to mention half of them can't even accept that their teams are just worse and are making tons of excuses about riot favoring kr (in reality sea has always been prioritized over kr for slots and the t2 changes are too recent to effect this tourney)

best team oat, 2023 fnatic would've had 0 trophies if this team still existed

Americas and bum ass region when emea is right there 💔

how about TH win an event

1. Americas is the best region by far and will 3-peat this year
2. Pacific strong overall but don't have any teams that are contenders this year
3. EMEA is just VIT/TH surrounded by a bunch of C tier teams (FUT are just gatekeepers and have a 0% chance to win btw)
4. NRG win Toronto and Paris (only mild take)

aight nvm fuck this team bro

come back when NRG win this, my goat FNS would never let me down

his highlight of the tourney

i mean if anything the off season showed us that they're super inconsistent. they lost to fucking rapid lofi
their peak is good but their floor is low

they fr looked like they had never practiced before when I watched them

between nrg, fnatic, wolves, and paper rex, who would you say is most disappointing?

speaking facts brother, they’re the kings of gatekeeping mid

RRQ looked good
Personally I have to see TL not get steam rolled by FUT like the first time to consider them good
You’re probably right about NOVA

I’m a KC believer. I think their game against GX was the biggest fluke across all leagues
honestly the only NOVA games I watched were a bit of the Wolves game and their loss to DRG so I probably don’t have a great perception of them cause I didn’t watch the CN off season

Good teams | Bad teams

EMEA: VIT, TH, FUT, KC | TL, BBL, FNC, GX, NAVI, M8, KOI, APK
Americas: G2, SEN, LOUD, NRG, 100T, LEV, EG | MIBR, KRU, C9, FUR, 2G
Pacific: DRX, T1, NS, GENG, RRQ, DFM, TLN | PRX, GE, BOOM, TS, ZETA
China: EDG, TE, BLG, XLG, DRG, FPX | NOVA, JDG, TEC, WOL, AG, TYL

EMEA has the best 2 reps in VIT/TH but overall the region is mid right now. The fact TL are still in contention for Bangkok is proof of that

don't ask them about SEA always having more franchise slots now, international slots in the past, and free byes to playoffs. no, it's always been Riot pandering to korea :|
it's just people grasping to any excuse atp

TLN actually piss me off, so much T2 thai talent but they keep the mediocre at best NA players

the current franchised teams don't properly utilize T2 talent like korea does. TLN, TS, and PRX all stayed the same while RRQ made a change.
compare that to the KR teams who all took the gamble on signing upcoming T2 talent to overhaul their teams instead of just stagnating.

it's not a matter of Riot prioritizing KR imo, since SEA has always had more slots even now, it's the sea teams not willing to make major changes to actually try to win.
and now that T2 sea is getting killed by Riot, they might not even have a chance to catchup anymore

if they make Bangkok emea is doomed. top 4 for this team is already outrageous

I’m going to ignore that you wrote fnc like we didn’t all watch them get buttfucked today
better than FUT: T1, DRX, NS, G2, SEN, NRG, LEV, LOUD

last chance KRU are a top 3 team itw, everyone knows this

2game probably get a map in emea ngl

the more teams shitquid beat the worse your guys’ region looks

it’s like if we had to watch cloud9 go on a run in Americas 😭

1. d4v41

you know you can be both Cambodian and American at the same time, right? personally, as a dual citizen I could rep the French flag if I competed, however, if live in and only compete in Canada, I'm a Canadian player

we really still stuck on splitting NA from Americas 💔

now imagine waiting 4x that many days and still not seeing your region win something 😔

even better than a trophy tbh

china: 153 days
pacific: 230 days
americas: 307 days (104 days if you count Ludwing x Tarik invitational)
emea: 581 days 💔

just trying to spread the facts

brother if i'm an emea fan rn i'm scared of my region getting exposed at bangkok. half the teams (apk/koi/tl/m8/navi/fnc) look buns

mb give me 2g vs 2023 dfm then

2g vs 2023 kc would be incredible

flair
take my advice

i got lazy :(

after watching today's games might have to be x0.50 for emea

ranked by win rate since franchising

interestingly 100T and NAVI are both exactly 0.50 (definition of mid)
if your team is in the bottom tier just give up 🙏

the truth is that there have only been 2 successful super teams so far that were built with being a “super team” in mind (best players for each role from the respective region), those being: 2022 LOUD and 2023 FNC

all other “super teams” have either
1) failed like 2024 NRG or 2023 TL
2) been a team that was good but wasn’t initially built to be or called a “super team” until finding success ie GMB, PRX, EG, TH, GenG

now people call any team with a half decent roster on paper or finds any form of success a super team I swear

China actually has some pretty good teams right now

personally I got to see them win at least one more game to solidify them in A. both FNC and GX looked a lot worse than I expected so I want to see how they do against a team like VIT/KC/TH/FUT before calling them the real deal
