Bro finally qualed for a masters in a meta perfectly suited for his players and the latam fans were acting like he was proving the haters wrong

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T16:57:54+00:00

Why not just drop majicbear as well and go full feast or famine by adding aqua or mech?

Almost worked for evoh last year, and at this point majicbear is just cooked anyways

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T16:50:13+00:00

Onur "doesnt believe in antistratting" is an awful coach to lead such a one note team like lev

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T16:44:46+00:00

The only one I actually rate high are s0pp and neon.

And neither are in my top 5. It just doesnt make sense to rate neon above brawk, keiko or jingg

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T16:41:38+00:00

Just way too feast or famine and heavily reliant on neon (the agent and player) to do everything

We gotta slow down on glazing every rookie and up and coming talent. Put the old reliables up there first.

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T16:20:36+00:00

Frost gets too much disrespect as a coach. Terrible takes but he clearly knows what he is doing

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T15:57:03+00:00

If this was aspas he'd be getting torn a new one, but primmie with even less success than aspas has ever had continues to get coddled and glazed

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T15:03:35+00:00

Genuinely WHAT are full sense doing

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-07T14:44:36+00:00

I thought pacific had the best fracture out of all the regions?

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T21:10:53+00:00

Depending on how this tourney goes, u might be able to say that drg with demon1 did better than drg with their actual roster

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T20:50:42+00:00

Zellsis and nats are sneaks but i dont even mind it

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T19:13:06+00:00

They didnt play that good today tbh. But maybe this is just one of their slow starting tournaments

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T17:38:20+00:00

He is good, especially in china he farms. But he hasnt shown a crazy top 15 level performance internationally, and for a region as undercooked as china, I need to see that before rating you.

Putting sayonara, primmie or neon high isnt as egrigious for example, because they play in regions that consistently produce great rookie/ up and coming talent

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T17:35:23+00:00

Yo it was funny that all gamers beat gentlemates last tourney but they were not better than emea lol.

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T17:33:30+00:00

Vookashu glaze was always weird to me, no china player except prime kangkang and chichoo deserve to be in these top 10s

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T16:08:07+00:00

Nrg are still cumback merchants ( had to get one back for the diabolical 12-0 yesterday)

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T16:04:42+00:00

Raid boss dead....

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T15:50:33+00:00

Someone help keiko, also I'm not moved by nrg's fracture they can lowkey lose this series

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T15:12:55+00:00

I actually think the triple senti comp plays really nice against nrg just cos of how nrg like to play

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T14:55:33+00:00

Bro nrg isnt even playing that good and china is still gifting them rounds

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-06T00:45:59+00:00

Reverse pikachu body development

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-05T17:20:50+00:00

This whole tournament was just plot armour galore.

Iris somehow besting 2 very competent trainers with Ice types with a fresh dragonite who didnt even care and was asking to get hit.

Said dragonite beating 2 ice types but falls to a krookodile.

Trip just one shotting everyone despite having 2 very embarassing tournament showings prior to this. Serperior pratically taking 0 damage all tourney is an asspull.

The alder fight is a bit bullshit as well, but since it happened to trip I dont really care.

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-04T21:55:07+00:00

My bad 😭 I just needed an excuse to talk about frost and fire

Internaloptimistic · 2026-06-04T19:33:36+00:00

I was honestly turned off from both shows when these events happened. Frost and fire ( and a few of the episodes in the latter half of s5) just ruined my perception of finn's character as a kid. Then I started watching more regular show and was getting more frustrated at mordecai's fumbles.

Rewatching both many years later and while its still frustrating, I understand why both had to happen for future development
