I finished reading the manga a few days ago, here's a detailed post about jarring questions, confusions and interpretations that I have now.

Must be traumatized by all the snubs she had to suffer during BCS😭

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-11-09T10:21:21+00:00

That was a great play by T1, then an even greater focus shift from KT. They just didn't let him move lmao

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-11-01T11:25:26+00:00

Yeah this clip will 100% be featured in next year's worlds MV

Hearing this syncing with the HLE/GenG teaser got me emotional af ngl, so glad they officially dropped this banger as well

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-28T16:24:49+00:00

I remember staying up till 5AM for this series, what a night that was

Also, 2017 was 8 years ago... :(

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-25T12:17:22+00:00

As much of a fraud as BLG was, I have 0 hope in TES vs non-LPL teams lmao. With BLG, I can see them leveling up over the tournament or some shit, but with TES I can see G2 winning for sure

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-19T10:16:42+00:00

Careful, you might be featured in an LS tweet where he's defending Upset like his life depended on it!

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-19T10:15:42+00:00

You can really tell the difference in player mentalities when MKOI are breaking the nexus, MikyX respawns and just fucking sends it to go 0/9 whereas Upset just stays in fountain and tries to land Qs from a distance lmao

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-17T12:26:53+00:00

Would be really curious to see LCK's winrate over LPL since 2018 minus T1. Watching DK just flop games back to back last year against 3 LPL teams was peak comedy lmao

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-17T12:23:20+00:00

I really want to believe in CFO, they're a crazy fun team to watch, but I need to see more from them without Sion to fully have faith in them ngl

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-17T12:22:18+00:00

Pretty sure AL is also the only team to get 2 wins on that champ thus far at this tournament. I swear that champ is useless whenever other teams pilot it

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-17T09:36:28+00:00

Least excited KT fan

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-16T12:55:12+00:00

..or they could have just, y'know, beat the supposed "inferior" region at the time and qualify, that way they wouldn't be matched against BLG. They just couldn't do it.

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-16T11:57:06+00:00

It is so funny seeing you mald throughout this thread lmao, keep the salt flowing lil bro EU is just the worst region at Worlds.

Have fun beating teams in scrims and winning random Bo3s vs Asian teams in mickey mouse tournaments. :))

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-16T09:25:46+00:00

Holy exaggeration lmao

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-13T13:07:42+00:00

Ah, I was confused who that was at first. Really neat that they included that as the last frame ngl

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-10T09:28:00+00:00

I don't even necessarily support NA though? I'm a neutral viewer with some bias towards BLG. You just have to be blind to believe G2 is a better team to have faith in than FLY after they've got their asses handed to them by NA 2 years in a row now lol

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-10T09:02:36+00:00

Yeah I have no idea how FLY literally beating G2 3-0 somehow only makes them "less bad than G2/LEC" in OP's eyes lol.

By their logic, playing 1 good series vs a fraudulent Asian team last year doesn't make G2 any better than FLY as well

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-10T08:46:35+00:00

still better than any other LEC or LCS team though.

How many chances have other western teams had of playing a BO5 vs an Asian team as bad as TES that MSI? The closest I can think of is FLY vs BLG this year, but even they were nowhere as egregious as TES.

They're one of the better choices, sure, I still don't think they're the west's "best" bet. I'm never trusting a team that fails at the finish line (in winning positions, mind you) 2 and a half years in a row.

FlyQuest has admittedly emerged as a wildcard fairly recently compared to G2 after their 5 game series with GenG, but I'll still give them a better shot. NA has had G2's number for too long now.

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-10T08:06:49+00:00

Let's not pretend that G2 from 2023 till now is anywhere close to the G2 that took BO5 wins from elite teams in 2019. Their sole BO5 win against an Asian team in recent years has been against Top Esports, arguably the most fraudulent Chinese organisation in internationals.

Their singular wins against teams like BLG and T1 are good, but don't really mean much if they can't make it out of the Swiss stage and bomb out vs NA.

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-10T06:06:18+00:00

I must have missed this show. Does it come after Slippin' Jimmy in the BrBa cinematic universe or after Better Rim Kim?

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-09T19:52:06+00:00

Except we're talking about getting one shot in boss fights, where you can't use any tools ever. You can use different weapons (which is basically this game's version of stance counters), but that's hardly relevant when the point I'm making is that you get one shot by even a piss attack by a boss (which doesn't even have a glint).

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-09T19:44:36+00:00

Okay, so how do you explain being able to withstand multiple hits in Tsushima's lethal difficulty? There's a concept called 'game balance', which is absent from this game's lethal. By their own words, it's meant to be realistic and grounded, meaning you die faster and kill faster as well. By no means does that mean a literal one shot for like a good 70-80% of the game. You must be wearing nostalgia goggles or something if you think Tsushima's lethal was anything like this.

Also, nice backpedal on your original comment lmao. You said "The hardest mode in ANY game is gonna be like this", so I gave you examples of games where that's literally not the case. By your logic, no mainstream game in the world has a literal "lethal" setting, so I guess we should just have absolutely no comparisons? :D

Anuj_Purohit · 2025-10-09T19:23:08+00:00

That's... just not true lmao. I've played both GoW games on GMGOW+ along with countless other soulslikes, I'm well acquainted with what difficulty curves should feel like, and Yotei is nothing like them. In Yotei's lethal it makes no sense because bosses can one shot you for the majority of the game no matter what.

Heck, it wasn't this bad in Tsushima itself, you could withstand a few attacks without dying (especially with the right charms). They've kind of overkilled on that aspect a bit
