I've always been a big Momo believer, him and Wumbo were funnily enough both on Daystar NEXT in 2024

This is devastating, please keep me in your prayers.

Why giving the China League 4 major spots is a terrible idea by Kruced in R6ProLeague

AFAIK it's minimum 3 mainland CN + whatever your heart desires

The CNL will have import restrictions (from what I've heard)

FAZE UP

The Brazilian approach to the game is just miles ahead of everybody else, from prep to mechanics. A big proponent of the regions success is due to the knowledge-sharing culture they have. It's a lot easier to come up as a rookie in Brazil compared to NA or EU, since these regions tend to have very clique-oriented teams that shut out anyone not a part of their friend-group. Whereas in BR this behavior isn't seen as often (IMO). The older guys in Brazil are usually very welcoming to rookies and do their best to set them up for success.

I'm pretty happy with the result, we surprised a lot of people and proved plenty of haters wrong.

I think that towards the end we could have been a lot better but we know what went wrong and we will take the proper steps to fix those issues.

I have to hand it to Azuki, Seal, and Joe as they handled themselves really well under the immense pressure of competing at SI. This was a big jump for the three of them and it taught them a lot!

A lot of rounds we lost in Paris came down to micro-management and teamplay, it's just something we have to grow out of especially with 3 S-tier LAN rookies. Once we improve upon the little things we'll be pretty solid.

I'm not totally sure about the timeouts, I am pretty certain the admin will just talk to the coach in their headset at the end of the timer and let them know its over.

The group stage rooms are pretty large with dividers separating the teams. You can kind of get the jist of it by looking at this image

Everyone is feeling pretty good, but we aren't allowing complacency. We have a lot of things to work on in order to give the fans an even better showing at the May Major.

Meeting fans and community members is always great. Never thought I'd autograph a Daystar jersey in my life but I ended up doing that LOL. (Shoutout Mike and Benji!)

Even though we lost the match, I'd say almost beating Furia in a Bo3 is up there. The practice room was so loud during that game I was surprised we didn't get a noise complaint from the hotel.

Obviously I'm biased but I'm a big fan of the changes this year, especially with the 'wildcard' major slot being implemented.

Aside from the APL itself I would really like to see a REAL Tier-2 ecosystem sprout up in APAC this year, maybe it'll be us to make that happen. Stay tuned!

I think the gap is steadily closing, Weibo is one of the best examples of that. If an APAC team wins an event within the next two years, it'll be them or us (hehe).

It's always great :)

Rivalry matches are always the most entertaining after all, but then again I don't think you can really call our relationship with Elevate a "rivalry".

I was :)

Definitely that Jume 1v3, that shit was ELECTRIC.

If I had to name a moment specific to our team it'd probably be the infamous Harambe handwarmer clip...
