Faker reacted to the recognition on Instagram: "Thank you TIME and all esports fans."
@perfectchovy@ahri_ell@AuxCasts Bdd is better than zeka and sucks that he didn't get chosen. I also would prefer if T1 players weren't playing so that they can rest lmao , asian game is mickey mouse tournament in league terms.
@perfectchovy@ahri_ell@AuxCasts There's no direct proof of any nepotism. Do you have proof? Let there be chats or email exchanges proving zeus and guma were picked due to hle sponsoring I will back you.
@chovys_@kespa No , irrespective of asian games or not players look to win msi. Nobody is going to ignore msi because it's not an asian games criteria.
@perfectchovy@ahri_ell@AuxCasts Nothing stopping geng also from sponsoring them lol. If there are 10 sponsors they'll select 10 players? Why even select canyon from geng? Oner is much better for all the same reasons people would say kiin > zeus. They all are capable of being rep and any sealed can be disputed.
@chovys_@kespa I guess they improved from their initial metric , in the end where one decides to draw the line will always have debates. Why only last 2 years instead of last 3? Or why not just last year etc.
@perfectchovy@ahri_ell@AuxCasts Not necessarily, someone on a worse team but being a better player shouldn't be cut out from selection because of 2 team qualification tournament. Atleast an acceptable line is worlds since it has 4 teams instead. And ofc can give % weightage to the different comps.
@chovys_@kespa Maybe because only 2 teams get to participate in msi and fst ? And it's a mid season cup depending on first half of regular season where teams are still figuring out? So someone in a new team would probably need time to adjust? Hence ewc fst msi was not considered. Happy?
@chovys_@kespa Do you think there's a conspiracy to avoid geng players? XD is zeus canyon faker zeka keria guma related to someone in kespa? Canyon over oner is criminal for all the same reasons people are want kiin. In reality all of them are very close by & choosing anyone makes sense.
@chovys_@kespa They didn't take fst, msi , ewc stats. They also took kespa cup stats and iirc geng didn't play. It was already known that kespa cup participation is required for asian team selection, blame geng for not making their players play.
