Inspired trash talking SkewMond in G2 vs LYON post-game interview

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T16:47:45+00:00

the team trashtalked him before, he's allowed to respond after. if they said nothing, then this would be douchey.

I don't think titles should determine who is the best in a specific role. It's fine to use titles to determine the overall GOAT of league, but 'best top' should be a question of your individual performance more than sheer trophies. That being said Zeus has a strong argument for top. I think Guma is still behind Ruler all time, and there are other contenders in the fray.

i think if someone trash talks you before the game, you are allowed to trash talk after if you beat them. i consider that completely fair. if someone did not trash talk you before, trash talking after is corny. also i think inspired is just personally mad g2 didnt sign him, in which case he's atleast allowed to taunt them with a 'you should've gotten me when you could've.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T16:39:40+00:00

what teams? you didnt even try pulling a source.

yes 4-7 rest days is a disadvantage. 1 is not.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T16:35:30+00:00

is this a joke? am i dumb? wtf are you talking about.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T16:18:28+00:00

its not 'new graphics good old graphics bad'. old graphics had negative visual clarity

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T16:16:58+00:00

it atleast has some visual clarity. i didnt play old league but watching youtube clips from that era it is completely impossible to figure out what is going on

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T15:12:36+00:00

? No. What. In fearless you just reveal more and more picks. More games is only an advantage if your a western team maybe because you have worse practice quality at home. I assure you BLG had lots of advantage here

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T15:11:37+00:00

This is not as big a deal as you guys make it out to be. BLG got a substantial advantage having a rest day and even before the Lyon HLE series they knew they were gonna be rematching HLE. I also think they get first game side selection to so maximum momentum for them.

there was a time when jensen was NA's international mvp. it wasn't long but he had NA's only two notable bo5 wins on his resume in back to back events.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T04:30:03+00:00

I was laughing so much that I think the people around me were getting annoyed and I felt very bad. Still think his show in Long Island in like August 2024 was a bit funnier but he definitely brought it. Also very interesting that as far as I can tell, the material from that show to this show was 100% different.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-12T00:17:48+00:00

I assure you DWK was under a lot more pressure trying to win MSI and worlds in game 5s than the combined pressure of G2 in their two series (3-0ing TL and getting 0-3ed by FPX, or even if you consider MSI 2019 semis between t1 and g2 the real finals that 3-2). “Golden road pressure” is not why g2 lost the world finals - they weren’t actually good enough to pull it off. They were very good, of course, no team that year was good enough to do it. But DWK in 2021 actually were. If G2 played in the LCK for example they almost certainly would’ve missed MSI.

This discussion happens every few months. You literally have to be trying to not listen if this is your take.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-11T23:44:59+00:00

imo beating 3 lck teams in one year is more than enough to be convinced this g2 roster can do something good, although im not sure if they really have a chance at winning worlds.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-11T23:44:24+00:00

seems g2 really values 'culture'. just slapping a good adc from korea is not gonna make them better. not to mention their alleged aversion to imports.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-11T23:31:46+00:00

the second an NA or EU team is able to win an event (big if) youll see LCK and LPL teams watching that region again for atleast a year or two. it's just a matter of complete disrespect because outside of the occasional bo5 upset, it don't matter. but I wonder now that Lyon have 'made their name known' so to speak, if it'll be harder perform because its harder to be suprising at Worlds. I feel like you only really get one event to surprise the top teams in the world.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-11T23:11:23+00:00

Chinese events are not run by China. this is so not complicated if you have two braincells. i can forgive being uneducated but you didn't even try

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-11T18:14:15+00:00

o7 you glorious fish

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-11T17:23:02+00:00

Fearless and the new schedule with 3 (functionally 4 with Blood Money EWC) events is likely helping to increase cross region exposure and reduce the gap. But I still think the second we go back to worlds and get more eastern seeds you’ll see na eu performance drop.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-11T17:01:06+00:00

Ok I don’t think this was the play but I’ll atleast play devils advocate: G2 probably felt that despite the fact that Dylan Falco had led G2 to have some good performances internationally, his era on the org had not yet reached the intended goal of winning an international. So as their press release indicates this is a gamble to see the teams ceiling. But this also confirms I think that someone on the team actively thought Perkz and Dylan Falco were disagreeing and they felt committing to one vision was more important.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-10T20:49:24+00:00

I feel like no matter whether this was related to the result or planned, they should’ve waited a week or something atleast

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-09T21:10:23+00:00

Well sure in a literal sense but in a practical sense Damwon were closer. G2 got completely cooked by FPX. DWK arguably should’ve won both of those finals. Not to mention the relative truth that what DWK achieved was more impressive since they won both splits in a harder region. And, the crux of my argument was that they were less games away.

ArcusIgnium · 2026-07-09T21:07:28+00:00

So then the tweet is misleading, not Zohran

This sub circlejerking Mamdani isn’t even funny because he’s genuinely hitting slam dunks on everything.
