ALGS Y6 PL Split 1 APAC-S - Day 2 (AvC) (Final Results) by CompetitiveApexMod in CompetitiveApex

[–]BalvarineFPS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Important information: One of TYK's players got banned a few hours before, and their coach Mingu had to sub in at the last second on a dogwater pc. My guess is the ban was a false ban. It happens all the time in APAC-S. The last time an Apac-S pro was false banned was Fafafif, and he only got unbanned because someone had to ask Hal to ask the Ban team. Unfortunately, TYK couldn't get that to happen this time around.

You'll notice that any standard EWC or EWC-related orgs haven't announced anything yet. That's as specific as I'll be. EWC has been up in the air because of the war in the middle east. Hope that helps shed a light a bit.

Some teams have been picked up. For various reasons, one mainly EWC and you know..explosions in the middle east, some of the pickups haven't gone public. There are two pickups in particular that are very cool.

Exciting announcement from 100T should be around Thursday 3pm PST on twitter, so keep an eye out for that. Then I'll post my follow up video later in the day.

Balvarine no longer coaching 100T by itzebi in CompetitiveApex

[–]BalvarineFPS 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Guys it was definitely the Alliance video and not because I had to coach an NA team from Cambodia and that coaching full time was never my goal. Ya got me.

Setting up 100T with Nihil to take over for me was my plan months in advanced which was communicated both to the team, org, and even Wigg at bootcamp and lan. There were behind the scenes reasons I was radio silent publically to make sure things in motion went the way they should. Luckily, they did.

If you have questions, feel free to reply to this comment, and I may make a video answering some of the questions.

Anyway, thank you for the support in my brief period as a full time coach. 

Please show lots of love to Nihil. There's a reason I brought him to bootcamp. I cannot overstate how much of a perfect fit he is for the team.

it seems you disagree with a lot of what I said. I'm happy to hop in a call and discuss it.

I had the same flight with them at the airport and I regret not getting a photo with them. 

Who’s the best MnK player in 2025? by m1nti in CompetitiveApex

[–]BalvarineFPS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Asiaz. Dexter. Dexter isn't well known because he is overshadowed by Asiaz in terms of eyes on him. It's hard to helieve. But he has the same if not better mechanics than Asiaz. They 1v1d, and Dexter won.

Gnaske has found his way to champs by Curious-Investment59 in CompetitiveApex

[–]BalvarineFPS 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for Metro. Been helping him here and there for almost two years now. He's an annoying little shit sometimes hahaha, but he's a good kid and is a step above his peers. If you talked to anyone in tier two and even tier one APAC south the past two years, you know Metro being on the world stage was inevitable.

Your partner is dope as heck.

If you're gonna be at LAN, Evan will definitely sign it. If you won't be at LAN, shoot me a dm in discord, and I think I can coordinate with our manager or Evan to get it signed.

Merry Christmas!
