@tak_01_ I agree its too deterministic but its the reality of whats gonna happen just wait and see.
Also how can you realistically argue for inspired over Jankos, he might be the best now (arguable) but he’s certainly not the greatest ever
Lyon vs BLG would be so determinant for Inspired’s international legacy.
If he wins then the entire ifspired/potential man narrative goes in the bin and he gets cemented as one of the greatest western junglers of all time.
If he loses ifspired will become the leading/mainstream narrative for his teams at internationals and his legacy as one of the best western junglers would crumble.
Dont get me wrong both scenarios would be overreactions based on one (admittedly very important) bo3, but its just the reality of how important this matchup would be for his legacy
after todays games, the most likely draw by a margin is lyon drawing blg at around 60%, ROUGH
not only that, the most likely draw for quarters is a 1/3 for tes,ig,t1 to face each other, and its around 23% for geng/dk to face hle round 1, and the most likely semi is, to the surprise of no one, t1 vs geng at around 25%
current most likely final is geng vs dk at 20%, geng t1 next most at 10%
I think its really telling the way a lot of people feel such frustration over Atrioc still being held accountable for his actions.
The reality is although hes made great strides (as much as can be expected) towards making up for his mistakes, the reality is that the good he does will not necessarily undo any of the negative consequences of his mistake. Poki has the right to feel however she does.
The fact that so many people are calling for him to be completely absolved strikes me as potential guilt/relateability on the part of many internet users, its no secret that popular streamers/influencers/celebs like Poki are constantly sexualized and fetishized by men on the internet, many of whom likely consume some of that same deepfake content that Atrioc was caught visiting. Thus making them feel personally attacked when the situation is brought back into the light and they are forced to confront the morality of their own actions.
Just my 2 cents
@JamadaLoL At some point potential man needs to lock in and actually win a series vs the east, we cant keep praising his international performances if hes primarily just beating western teams and then ALMOST beating a LCK or LPL team.
I mean the format for these streamer tournaments is not competitive, they should make it so the teams last longer than a day, so they can practice together and come up with strats or comps. Right now its just which challenger will be held back the least by the shitters he picked?
@JamadaLoL Honestly one of the better tier lists ive seen for sure, I think Team Liquid is just that good but maybe below DK and i would put LYON below IG, also I think Mkoi and C9 should swap places
@DShyKnock@Caedrel slot for its time zone. If you’re Riot and trying to keep the esports scene afloat, I find it hard to justify passing that up. (3/3)
@DShyKnock@Caedrel building that might come from it? I agree that it would be positive, but it’s very difficult to quantify. Compare that with the alternative, which could mean 100,000 more viewers or something along those lines possibly even more, since this way MVK also gets a better time (2/3)
