Cook or 5 ish years mostly Jap shit bc that's what my mom cooked growing up. Also some Italian and Chinese.

Ayrin* led a top 2 team NA last year u mean.

Shit take SAO most boring characters literally ever

Damn if u didn't like entertainment district idk what to tell you

ALBANIA #1💪💪💪🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

^ boaster had some highlights in those finals esp on that one map where he top frag on omen. Fns, saadhak, idk if the dead weight IGL is a thing anymore

wrong forum buddy

Wooow ppl forgetting this part of the storyline. (Admittedly me as well)

When nivera Got covid y'all were mad quick to preemptively cut him slack - but when it's the Chinese...

I think recency bias maybe. I feel it too, but I think the production quality + gameplay for franchise games should be very high.

The victim complex is actually insane. I bet this dude spams white lives matter in the comments lul. Based take from the German

Not fair prime tyloo was not no brain

I think both are in order. To prioritize one much more than another seems to be a mistake. Imports will raise the overall level of the region somewhat, and increased investment in player dev will obv uncover more young, raw talents.

I do agree that it seems to be a little biased towards the import approach, esp considering the quality of the players being imported . Also the fact that the only high profile imports to SA are to GE only doesn't seem to do much to develop the region, rather just to ensure that they remain top dogs in SA but not much more.

But Chinese players have definitely been playing since launch they VPNs or whatever. C'mon EDG looked lost against top tier team play. Won't deny that kang kang is world class tho.

I think part of the issue with the IGL thing is the reliance on coaches and analysts for some regions. Korea has world class strat building in preset plays - mostly due to really strong coach/analyst support. But I think they are weaker in mid round adjustments due to this. The day Korea gets a Vanity/FNS tier IGL is the day they stomp the world scene.

C'mon overwatch definitely was T1 at some point ... I think

I remember watching TheMongolz in csgo back in high school lmao. I was super hype when Machinegun made the crossover to NA on Splyce? I think. Good times

When a thrower meme team gets more fan support than some franchising teams lmao

Just because asia tends to be toxic and racist doesn't mean we should accept.

There are few asia beefs as strong as JP vs KR - and tbh fck that racist shit I will always root KR over western teams - I've been a fan since cs like solo, peri, glow. Before any of us got on the map, they did.

Ok but riot has long relationship with kr orgs so for initial franchising this was pretty obvious. If ur right they won't expand in ascension at all bc other apac will take expansion slots. Regardless why hate on kr because of business decision? I'm apac fan as long as it's not zeta - nuturn was my original fav team back when JP was a joke.

Gigachad take - I root for kr and sea against emea and na any day

I think it's less disrespect and more he ran out of bullets and hazed took a 💩 in the bed

Wait is GE still considered a meme team? I thought the Korean imports + ayrin made them less of a meme

Nah I love shitting on shaz as much as anyone else, but to say that this is an ordinary bit of banter is ... Not correct

Find one other example of a major org flaming a former player in this way and I'll admit I'm wrong.

Honestly the only pro shaz viewpoint that holds water imo is that the skit was in bad taste. Bc it was.

Well good thing the Sen CEO is not a Muslim. Inshallah he finds God tho.

Siiiiiiiiiiiu

Fuck I keep posting twice

Major winner stewi smonk criminal

That being said, Brax and steel both throw and both teams disband

Oof gg wp no re

Yes

I mean technically yes. But if it's rng for both, then the win % normalizes out to who has better aim/cross hair placement, no?

I hate that blocking yt shorts only lasts for 30 days. At least let me choose to opt into your dog sh*t

First post lmao - they bully you too much over at hltv?

Everyone knows that in a controlled environment, on high end pcs, and looking at gunplay in isolation csgo is clearly better.
However, the meta is stale AF.
Also csgo servers outside of na, Brazil and EU are unplayable - valves own fault that literally 100% of apac talent has switched to valorant.
Tldr: you're not wrong with some of your points, but there is a reason that its replaced csgo outside of EU

Lmao halo sword

Siiiu

Only valid take in the thread ... who tf wants to play as minion in a tower defence game

Bro they even got LEGIJA on the coaching roster... These dudes just be chucking money- only stupid if it doesn't work - free franchise slot 2024

Honestly my favorite take

Lmao how did anyone miss this gem: OCEAN is "is also interested in support roles for a franchised team." OCEAN .. franchise ... Player??? What the fuck am I reading

Bro at least china make lan unlike GE

Laughing at salty jap ... Honestly cannot blame, y'all are the only ones who didn't get fucked over ig

Hahaha literally ask any Koreans they will tell you that val is not even on the national esports radar there. 5 kr orgs what a fucking joke - I hope ow2 properly kills kr val and riot will be forced to take its head out it's ass (this is not kr hate, only riot hate)

I wasn't watching which match/map was this

Cry is free

Zeta fs

Any other takes are booboo

i mean he is big caucasus guy - and you compare with another big caucasus guy

nuturn before disband
t1 i guess

icebox

bismillah
