For APAC, if seoul stop forcing hog I won't be surprised if they can get to the june joust, however, if they continue to run hog often shanghai seem very likely to qualify. While they beat nyxl with hog, imo the comp did not look good at all, their dps talent pulled them through when they were struggling to break through with the hog comp. Their double shield looked good, they even seemed to get the better of shanghai when running that comp.
It’s unlisted btw
Custa addressed it on his stream and said he shouldn't have called out the players and meant his frustration was really with the org. I bet he mentions it this weekend during the games
Heurix my man!! Wub is crazy good
was wondering if the 15+ ad breaks in the first hour was intentional? happy to support the show but a few less would be nice. i understand we transitioning and we miss uuuu john
