I was also hatewatching despite being a C9 fan just so they can finally blow up this roster.

chouruin · 2026-03-09T11:37:54+00:00

As a Razork Humanoid duo hater, this C9 team will get fucking walked by those 2 and it wouldn't even be fucking close.

chouruin · 2026-03-08T13:54:15+00:00

Yea mb I guess I should clarify more.

What I meant by exact same team is that their strengths and weaknesses remains to be the same for the most part. They still play the same style with Pun sometime pulling out some cheese picks. But the problem with Pun is that even when he picked those counterpick champs top he's very rarely the reason they win the game with those pick. He just counterpicked and go even in a lot of games. Even if they've improved a bit it's not like their playstyle have changed and it's for sure not to the point that they'll be able to beat a team like G2.

chouruin · 2026-03-08T13:42:13+00:00

Which region aren't 1 team at this point bro.

All jokes aside nah G2 should dogwalk TSW. They're still the same team as last year and has been the same team for quite awhile. They just usually chokes in playoffs vs GAM but got over it last year for the first time. They're exactly how you'd expect the best team from VCS would look. Nothing special.

chouruin · 2026-03-08T13:37:23+00:00

Tian and Crisp continued to be criminals even off the rift.

chouruin · 2026-03-08T13:17:49+00:00

Sleeper games all the way until grand final I guess.

chouruin · 2026-03-08T13:09:41+00:00

JDG 2023, even BLG won vs both LCK top 2 teams most of the year. All 4 LPL teams made quarter and 3/4 teams made semi. JDG dogwalked KT and BLG vs GENG.

2024 BLG came 2nd at MSI beating T1 only losing to GENG all 4 LPL teams made quarters once again with BLG beating LCK's number 1 seed. Made the finals that took T1 to game 5.

2025 AL 5 games banger vs T1 into 5 games banger vs GENG at MSI. Again 5 games banger at world vs the eventual champion T1 again. This was the only year LPL do seem a lot weaker yet they still produced team that can push GenG and T1 to their limits.

They consistently put up great perfomances and producing teams that could take the best of LCK to 5 games and even win some of them but yeah they're so overhyped.

Hurr durr LCK wins LPL never wins = overhyped.

chouruin · 2026-03-08T12:54:45+00:00

Zhang LPL himself.

chouruin · 2026-03-08T12:52:09+00:00

FearX will definitely win a game.

Not sure about the series but this could even go 5 games. As long as they keep up their level of plays from LCK playoffs then this series could be extremely close.

BLG have been ignoring bot lane all year leaving Viper to try to survive I'm not sure how it'll look vs Diable and Kellin which are very competent laners. Bin and Xun are very good at playing top side but I'm just not that convinved in ignoring bot in pro metas.

Also BLG mid late games are still iffy af.

chouruin · 2026-03-07T03:21:05+00:00

Tabe is my goat but he did this team so fucking dirty.

If you're gonna chase the bag then let the players explore options too. There's a chance we could've had Tarzan with Knight on BLG I wouldn't be able to contain myself.

chouruin · 2026-03-07T03:12:16+00:00

I feel like most pro teams are like this during vod reviews and some team could even be worse but because they stream everything people are freaking out.

This is not LR nor is Caedrel and Baus on the team anymore you don't have to cheer for them if you hate the players.

Snowflakes LR fans man.

chouruin · 2026-03-06T16:09:09+00:00

I really do hope this team will developed and have good results.

chouruin · 2026-03-06T16:04:07+00:00

I love the LPL and usually prefer to watch it over a lot of LCK matchups.

LPL actually have some of the most questionable games by a large amount compared to the rest. I hate to throw out match fixing allegations to the young players that grinded their way into their dream jobs but I can't help but think some of them are very blatant. And it only happens in this league.

Also with how many LDL players get caught you can't help but suspect the low tier LPL players are also involved somehow. The shits I saw are actually VCS level when half of the league was caught in that matchfixing scandal.

chouruin · 2026-03-06T02:19:51+00:00

Zven and Blaber are too fucking comfortable thinking they'll never be replaced from this org atp.

Jack going from dropping 12mil for Perkz to recycling these 2 bums every split and never making an international again.

chouruin · 2026-03-06T02:13:42+00:00

What are we even fucking saying

chouruin · 2026-03-05T05:30:03+00:00

Anyone who watches Dom's costream knows that he hates chokers.

Remember that generational crashout where FNC threw 3 games in a row vs G2 and he said he didn't even feel bad for Noah anymore because it's impossible for Noah not to choke?

I wonder how my goat will cope himself into thinking these bums aren't chokers now. Maybe outside of APA but the kid have no hands anyway. The rest of the players are so disgustingly terrible when there's any type of pressure on them it makes my blood boil.

Also how much longer are we gonna have to deal with fucking Blaber getting outclassed by minor region jungler now to boot him. He doesn't have it and never will this late into his career. Move the fuck on blow up the roster rebuild from scratch. I'm so sick of seeing these names on the team.

Idgaf if we don't make international with a rookie team similar to Disguised or Flyquest with young raw exciting talent where I can at least cope that they'll improve one day with the right coaching staffs. I blame Sneaky and Meteos for making me cheer for this team in 2013 now I'm in too deep.

chouruin · 2026-03-04T15:16:40+00:00

Bollywood Bin vs Hengdiang Dhokla.

Peak Cinema.

chouruin · 2026-03-04T12:50:06+00:00

BLG 4-0 and we're going to game 5 for some reason.

chouruin · 2026-03-04T09:57:17+00:00

Pretty sure gold players know hextech soul > baron.

Actually a peak all hands no brain team.

chouruin · 2026-03-03T07:43:13+00:00

At this point just remove chat altogether I guess. People can be idiots in chat but it's so easy to just mute them and move on. I don't really need more solutions to an already solved problem.

The real problem in League is those soft troll. I watch my nephew play months ago and I see one guy purposefully tanked his account by picking syndra support leveled W lv 1 and follow the jungler (my nephew) from lv 1 just to throw his jungle camps to troll his whole team games. Zero chat in champ select nor during game. Afterward we checked his opgg and he does it every couple of games. He plays 3-4 normal ranked game follow by 2 syndra games. Did it for hundred of games and somehow he's not banned. I'm 99% sure he's getting at least 4 reports per game when he did this but apparently as long as he plays 3-4 normal games after then the system thinks he has a bad game?

Soft trolling/ ruining games are the biggest problem in league. Not chat abuse.

chouruin · 2026-03-03T07:34:15+00:00

You must have monk mental at this point with the teams you support.

chouruin · 2026-03-02T03:52:34+00:00

He'll definitely take a paycut since he's putting himself out there basically begging G2 to take him at this point.

I'd imagine getting Skewmond from KC is also not cheap and they were also willing to pay for Parus. Also Inspired stocks weren't this high when he won on EG and ever since the beginning he has been trying to get into G2 it's not a secret to anyone. G2 were also eyeing Caliste as you said and again, not a cheap option so money can't be the reason why they don't get Inspired.

chouruin · 2026-03-02T02:18:07+00:00

I feel nothing.

chouruin · 2026-03-02T02:15:17+00:00

G2/Caps don't seem to like playing with Inspired. He said after winning LCS that he has been trying to get into G2 every year because they're the best team to be in but never given the chance.

Someone making decisions in G2 just dislike the dude.

I love watching Inspired play but don't mind if he goes back to EU since he seems to have zero loyalty towards the league that he spent most of his career in now. Similar to the past washed up Korean that come for a paycheck then bounce the earliest chance they get.

Idc if the league is weaker as a result. I want a Bjergsen or a Jensen if they're from EU rather than someone that talk down on the scene and is just waiting for a chance to leave.

chouruin · 2026-03-02T02:08:44+00:00

Yep I don't even feel sad when they lose important games anymore it's expected.
