If G2 somehow wins this match, then they are the strangest team ever

We need more Fortnite pros

Don't do that

Cryo and zekken have already declared Americas though. Ban and Russ had not when they went to Pacific. Both Cryo and zekken would have to play as an import for awhile before they'd gain residence.

Both of them would count as imports

He had a really rough 2023

Boston

Yea that sounds about right

Cryo said they're 2-0ing GenG so I believe him (you're Filipino, you should believe him too)

Pretty sure there was a reddit post that said that the second the tickets went on sale, that all days were sold out

Discover the beauty of FromSoftware. Give Elden Ring a shot

Biggest tragedy of this event was 100T not being able to play a Chinese team.

I think boaster can handle the critics. Him crying was for sure just him being disappointed in himself and his performance. I highly doubt it's because of some vlr and twitter users roasting him.

It's fucking hilarious dude. One of the top posts of today is just a recap of BLG's domination against NRG.

However bad you may think VLR, Reddit, and/or Twitter are to players and teams, it will NEVER be as bad as the Chinese are to their own players on their forums. If you wanna take a gander, check out the Tieba forums for competitive Valorant. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link the website here, but this reddit post has a link for it down in the comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/1d5nq14/chinese_fan_reactions_after_the_match_vs_prx/

The Chinese are very creative with their insults, I'll say that much.

Winter is coming my friend, and it's coming for Boaster it seems

I thought the Madrid crowd was pretty good.

I don't think people quite realize how absolutely dominant prime Astralis was. It was actually disgusting how many trophies that team won in 2018, to the detriment of the league unfortunately. Tournaments were predictable and it got kind of boring after awhile. And even in 2019, where they slowed down a lot, they still managed to win the 2 largest tourneys of the year.

For Val, even if a team won all 3 internationals of the year, I don't think it would represent anything close to the dominance that was prime Astralis. It'd have to be like 5-7 tournament wins in a row imo.

Are we just copy pasting threads now? https://www.vlr.gg/356114/about-china

Yes, EU teams have historically been better for practice. They tend to take scrims a lot more seriously

Should Chinese teams that qualify internationally try boot-camping in NA and/or Europe prior to events starting? The only other options are to import coaches and analysts.

If teams could just stop choking against EDG in critical moments domestically.

This actually has a really high chance of happening. The big hurdle here imo is G2 vs TH. That could ruin it all.

What else can you do other than just give them more time? Maybe sign some foreign analysts and coaches, but that's about it. They're only given 1 import like the other regions

With how BLG has looked recently, I don't think they can make it to Champs, even with 4 slots available.

I'm not expecting changes until after Champs tbh. The team is basically guaranteed a spot

I'm talking about Champs

Yes I agree. China for sure needs support for sure, but they shouldn't be given the literal same amount of spots as the other 3 regions. Should -1 spot for their performance here and give that spot to the region with Shanghai winner

It's just absolutely insane

That's not the point I was trying to make

People in every sport and esport forget that these people are still human. You gotta be insane to think that they're not giving 110% to win, but sometimes it's just not enough

Why does this team have a worse immune system than fucking TenZ?

How was he supposed to predict the double spam kill there

Okay why the hell does Kaplan know Mandarin? That's so random lol

i'm quite happy with the new teams instead of the same faces

Film yourself eating an entire banana dipped in ketchup for every bite

Imagine if the Operator was as good as the AWP in CS. Shit would be annoying af

He'd have 1 more trophy over saadhak under 2 completely different teams. It'd be impressive af

I'm stealing that username for my steam profile

How's his English?

Please enlighten me on a good IGL replacement for this lad. Maybe pull a johnqt and look for a T2 IGL in EMEA? Or maybe import from NA? Like it's not exactly easy getting a replacement for this guy

I think you're reaching with Kingg. I think he's a good player, but I'm not big on his calling. Same with Ethan.

What about from the T2 scene? Pull a Johnqt

We do not care

Are there any good IGLs available?

When will you motherfuckers learn to hold your tongue until the entire series is over?

Surely we learned our lesson to NOT rule out teams after 1 map? G2 literally were down 11-0 on their first map and won the series

Wouldn't rule out GenG just yet

Okay, so you see, the secret is to

I would do anything to get rid of DFM man. Switch them out for a T2 Japanese team for all I care, get them out of the league
