I just realized that I'm going be travelling during the Spark's opening weekend and not able to watch any of the games live, gently caress

We're facing Dynasty/Dragons/Valiant, though, so maybe that's a blessing

shanghai looked pretty bad at the start of last season too, they got rolled in their first match against chengdu & didnt really return to their 2020 form until the first tournament, so i don't think this means too much on its own. we know they have the talent to pull things together. dallas also got rolled in their first game this year & now look much better

the zarya comps that apac (& dallas) prefer are unfortunately much less interesting to watch than the winston comps, everything slows down so much

you know it's weird, in esports I feel like individual bad performances are way more indicative of a team's overall quality than in other sports. Like, Week 1 of the 2003 season the New England Patriots got absolutely destroyed by the Buffalo Bills 31-0. loving 400-pound Sam Adams picked off Tom Brady for a touchdown. Embarrassing. The Patriots won the Super Bowl a few months later.

Haven't gotten to see the matches yet, but I can't believe Spark beat Seoul and apparently would've beaten Shanghai without some good ol' throwing. Much more promising than I'd expected!

Also: Glads about to get reverse swept again?

EDIT: OH MY GOD THEY DID

Even worse that they won the first control round, only to get reverse swept on THAT too, jesus christ, cue the sadiators song

lmao boston

striker is known to be a difficult personality which is part of why he took half of last season off so i'm sure being on a team as badly managed as boston has been so far this season has gone well for him

Had to jump on my flight home after seeing my boys get dunked on for the first map. Just got to watch the rest of the match, and goddamn, I thought we were hosed after the Dorado loss.

Shoutout to Bernar and Irony, neither of whom I believed in at all and both of whom have played very well. AlphaYi and Shy have been hard-carrying, and I haven't noticed Superich outside of the occasional kill, which is exactly what I want from a main support. I'm not sure if Guxue has been playing badly, or if he's just better on heroes/comps that are not as good right now, but it seems like we have a clear starting five that is communicating and coordinating well.

edit: I'm glad that Guxue is having a sense of humor about it: https://twitter.com/cdhuntersfacts/status/1528411040169574400

striker was intended to start over victoria this week but was suddenly benched, there was absolutely some major problem with him (& marve1?) recently

but that match was just bizarre, how did boston suddenly look so good, how did justice suddenly look so bad & what the hell was with boston's substitutions on circuit royale

So I know they sub Punk out for Istal sometimes 'cause maybe they like his monkey better, and then that necessitates a switch from Crimzo to MCD because Itsal's non-Korean comms aren't great

but honestly considering how good Punk and Crimzo have looked they should just punt on that idea entirely

it doesn't look like marve1 was a personality problem, at least according to this statement:
