Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Every Western GM has been EXPOSED
Q: Best current roster with zero international titles, as in none of these players have won an international title, let's get them a trophy.
The hosts discuss a proposed roster featuring Shiwu, Tarzan, BDD, Smash, and Kayle, suggesting alternatives including Breathe, Inspired, and several LPL players. They consider it capable of winning Worlds but not a favorite.
Every Western GM has been EXPOSED
Q: How badly have Western GMs been exposed by the success of their Tier 2 teams at international tournaments?
The hosts say the results exposed weak scouting, the loss of academy teams, and a tendency to overlook proven ERL players. They argue that international competition gives organizations useful evidence for evaluating prospects.
The Worst Individual Series Ever Played
Q: Which players do you wish you could have watched at Worlds this year?
The hosts name players including Kaze, BDD, Raptor, and Monkey, and also discuss historical missed opportunities such as Kakao in 2014 and OMG in 2023.
The Worst Individual Series Ever Played
Q: What are examples of players who single-handedly lost a game or series for their team?
The hosts cite Kuro against Cloud9 at Worlds 2018, Burdol against LNG in 2021, TheShy in the 2023 Worlds final, and other cases, while noting that draft, coaching, and team context can complicate assigning blame.
