i want to see scream on lan but you're right. definitely m3c or maybe even oglu would be better lmao.

steel is part japanese? did not know that but i doubt he's getting dropped.

they started off so strong then got shit on

i think he meant how optic always gets 2nd place in na.

saying everyone expecting them to flunk out is a stretch but they exceeded expectations for me

nah it’s fine

group 2 would be a banger

keznit owns bronzil

reject 2-1

my guesses would be team secret, mith, and boom. there is also still a chance that riot makes it 12 slots for apac.

i don't even think edg is that good. they got lucky that ons had a roster change.

i mean even with yacine bottom frag, guild still looked quite decent against navi.

context?

riot wants orgs that will invest a lot and stay financially well like 8 years down the line and the korean orgs fit that criteria well compared to others. performance doesn't matter for franchising. geng didn't make the final stage of na franchising but did for apac/kr so its likely they move.

drx and damwon are basically guaranteed. the third slot is going to either geng or t1 if riot does decide to give another slot.

the forced lan environment also prevented many people from competing. i remember hearing from some pros that the cost of transportation and other things made it not worth it.

i wish lakia stayed with nuturn. that transfer destroyed nuturn and a lot of the competitiveness.

yeah i don't think 4 slots for south america is that bad. emea only getting 3 slots is what makes a lot of people mad.

i want to see scream on lan again but I wouldn’t mind navi winning either.

i really don't know

oh i forgot about that

tbh korea will definitely prosper under franchising especially when a lot of korean players from na/japan will come back with the asian league being rumored to be held in seoul idk why you would think that.

fusion probably won't win but they should at least get a map. nip did not impress me at all.

lmao

zeddy has so much impact

why is no one mentioning shao

they still can.

nuturn

nth 2-1

fpx

acend 2-1

am i the only one that thought that both ons and maru would lose lol. okay maybe maru losing 0-2 was a shock but i still rated them lower. ons was unfortunate though because of the roster changes.

agreed.

japan is much better as a region but drx is still better than zeta.

sen consistently shit

i can assure you that 99% is because of the low interest from kr orgs and the lack of players.

m3c 2-0

i'm assuming this is to the other person lol

did you read? he could still play in champs if he gets better lol.

no because franchising is about the org, not performances.

prx are predictable

what is this based on? if it’s achievements, then kr should be higher than br and jp. if it’s the competitiveness of the region, then apac should be higher than latam.

latam and br should be above japan

the comp needs a sentinel though.

we’ll see.

every 2nd place team did terrible the next event.

2nd place curse is worse.

maybe. i do see prx winning icebox though because they started on attack.

you’re probably going to get downvoted by prx fans but you are right. prx are very predictable on defense when they push. that’s why they naturally lose to teams who play slow like drx and zeta.
