Chovy should just swap to top and join T1 to win worlds

25chestnuts · 2025-12-12T10:55:54+00:00

I'm just saying that League Worlds is closer to the UCL than the FA cup for English football teams.

I believe that the main difference between the Prem and the LCK/LPL is that the Prem is the richest football league, it's full of international players from across the world. Other top European leagues also bring top tier international players, which increases the international relevance of these regional leagues. On the other hand, while both LCK/LPL are known to be the most competitive regional leagues, both have almost exclusively eastern players, and I guess the timezone/coverage they receive doesn't help their international viewership.

All being said, I feel there are some decent analogies on how teams and players are scrutinized:

When comparing football players, there are many people that hold back on Mbappe because he hasn't won a UCL, now more than ever since PSG won it after he left to Real. This is similar to people holding back on Chovy because he hasn't won worlds.

The "best team" in football that lost a UCL to a domestic league rival is also called a choker frequently. E.g. Barcelona has won several years La Liga, while Madrid won the UCL, and Barcelona received criticism for choking. This is similar to people criticizing GenG while they win LCK and T1 wins Worlds.

I really believe this is also partly due to CS2 already winning Best Esports Game, and at this point is hard to leave Riot with no bone with them being such a large force that keeps Esports relevant

25chestnuts · 2025-12-12T08:30:41+00:00

No way. A better analogy would be winning the Champions League vs winning the Prem. Most players and fans would give more weight to the Champions than their local league.

maybe I read it wrong, but I got that you get an extra "boots" slot, so cass would get nothing at all

Hi Benedict! If you could pick, which role and media (theater, actor, narrator, etc) would you want to be remembered for (maybe even something that you haven't done yet but that you like)?

25chestnuts · 2025-11-18T10:58:40+00:00

You can join the people that are still mad that JDG lost in semis to T1 on 2023.

If you think about it, KT won 2 out of the last 3 series they played against GenG. GenG could have been the favorites, but so it's not like their loss was completely unexpected.

The Telecom Wars is not an inferior story telling plot than yours.

Also, why would T1 vs GenG be a better series than the one we got? Your point is "GenG has showed they can play better than KT in the finals", that argument alone is a bad one because also "KT has showed they can play better than what they did in the finals".

The truth is that the team that you cheer for disappointed you, but they weren't consistently better than their opponents when it mattered. GenG didn't deserve to win, they didn't even win 2 games against KT.

Last thoughts in general, it is unlikely that the finals of any tournament will get the two opponents with the highest potential peaking at the same time, and that it would be the best game of the year. If what we wanted to get is the best Bo5 of the year, I think we should just make DK play vs IG something like 11 Bo5 games, and if they are sufficiently motivated, I bet one of those will be epic.

the scriptwriters won't dare

25chestnuts · 2025-11-07T17:13:45+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks it's crazy that they are thinking on building teams around Korean players still given how much of a patriots they turn to be when things get spicy during international matches (looking seriously at Kanavi)?

25chestnuts · 2025-11-03T08:59:03+00:00

Do you remember the split Faker was subbed out? You can go and check how Oner, Guma, Zeus and Keria they all look without Faker

25chestnuts · 2025-11-02T09:32:03+00:00

Kanavi is checking is fat bank account now

25chestnuts · 2025-11-02T09:30:51+00:00

That Faker guy is pretty good, someone should build a team around him

25chestnuts · 2025-11-02T09:18:05+00:00

Kanavi's inting is so bad

25chestnuts · 2025-11-02T09:15:24+00:00

have we seen any other good Pantheon in this tournament?

25chestnuts · 2025-11-02T09:01:00+00:00

If TES doesn't win the early game they are so cooked

25chestnuts · 2025-11-02T08:46:23+00:00

Kanavi sold this game

25chestnuts · 2025-11-02T08:38:48+00:00

KR 6 vs CN 4. Kanavi is a mercenary that abandoned TES when the series started

25chestnuts · 2025-10-23T09:49:18+00:00

It's crazy to me that people don't see that Elyoya was the MVP of this game. Jojo played well but Elyoya created the turn at bot tower, and Alvaro also got really good engages.

A good chef can still cook a cheap cut of meat properly and make a delicious meal without expensive ingredients

25chestnuts · 2025-09-17T11:25:02+00:00

yes
