This whole NWPO thing is dumb. I totally get Rule One not wanting to associate with him anymore after this. That’s fine. If it’s not part of an RLCS event, they should not get involved. I don’t support him being racist, but at the same time, people need to grow a backbone and chill out a little bit. Epic is handling this just fine
It shouldn't be a perma ban as he is young after all and probably doesn't fully understand why it is a big deal, but definitely a ban. Ban him for the rest of the season, that's like 3 months technically, but meaningful enough as he can still make Worlds.
On the subject of Nwpo, I know the internet loves to cancel people for all eternity and don't believe in growth and change, but he's literally a kid. Ban him for the rest of the season and all of the first split next season, so it's a 9 or 10 month ban, but don't permaban him. We want people to be better, and casting them out forever won't achieve that. We need to encourage them to improve themselves.
@@jaydenijtsma1134 yes, you should only be banned for actions within the jurisdiction of the game/tournament, you should not have a corporation policing every aspect of your life. it’s up to the teams and players to decide how to deal with this stuff internally to protect their image or whatever other reason, which I believe properly happened in this case
I honestly really like the idea of this season’s qualifier, I like how cutthroat it is and it gives many players/teams to have a real opportunity to play in the main event, but it can definitely be improved upon. Top 8 teams should not be playing every day of qualifiers cause of what has happened to SR, Dig, KC and others, but I do think they should be playing to qualify still. And a swiss qualifier wouldn’t do justice imo cause it takes too long and it’ll be a closed qualifier essentially like last season’s
Hard disagree. The top 8 teams are already making the event 99% of the time. The result of the top teams being in the qualifier means the teams they are seeded against in the upper bracket get knocked down to lowers far more often than not and then have to win 4 series in a row. That is much much harder than if top 8 auto qual and then a Swiss without the teams in it is used to qualify lower teams.
@@GrantGorman-wg4oe I do understand the hardship of that, but what I see is more and faster regional growth from lower tier or bubble teams having much harder adversaries. I do want for the top teams to have an easier way to guarantee themselves into main events, cause it’s honestly better for them I do admit, although I do like how cutthroat it is, and it is a shame that SR and KC have missed a regional this season. I do hope Psyonix learns from this season and find a middle ground for the next, if not I wouldn’t be mad if they just go back to the old closed qualifier format.
Can’t believe it’s episode 80! I’ve been following since 2047 and took a Time Machine back here to tell you guys CHEESE ends up winning 30 straight world champs
While i don't like the idea of auto qualifying because i feel the open qualifier makes teams be consistent, a potential solution could be that the top X teams auto qualify to like the top 32 or top 64 to avoid the burnout of having to play so many matches every qualifier. Then, the best performing teams will be able to rest more and also play less series, so losing would be much more their own responsibility.
You completely miss the point of why the format is bad then. Do you understand the pressure differences in that lower bracket elim match? One match to ruin a team's whole season for a major and therefore worlds qual is horrendous for the esport. Like CJ said, making the best teams play 5000 matches against SSLs is pointless because they will lose to a nobody bubble team who literally get NOTHING out of the win but KC lose everything. And we the fans lose the experience of watching the actual best teams instead of a crap team that peaked at the right time because of 0 pressure
@MadJack122 I mean KC losing twice not once by bubble teams is unacceptable. If they manage to lose 6 games from top16 teams at best they do not deserve to go to the major. It's like saying because Manchester City won the champion's league they should be placed straight to top 8. Of course not
@@konstantinoskyriopoulos2854 KC has no one to blame but themselves, but your argument doesn't even make sense, City loses sometimes, but it doesn't cost them the season. Its more like saying even thought city won the premiere they have to go through division 2 again. They don't deserve major? sure, but it can also cost them their worlds spot despite a near perfect split, where is the reward? Thats why this format is shit.
I don't get the hand holding of multiple LAN and Major winners to teams who can barely qualify. The glazing of "top teams" is wild. People want to give these teams as many chances as possible when on the other hand these teams who are approaching this format knowing they have a small chance to beat a team like freaking KC are actually doing the work and winning. Yes KC are better than those two other teams they lost to but they showed up on the day. Not getting paid, not having a place to boot camp, not having the backing of the org and won. Let's celebrate those teams and stop diminishing their accomplishments because the fan favorite didn't make it.
No one wants to watch them, they dont even care because they have 0 chance to make worlds or even a major. When this has happened the last 4 times the teams that beat the top 8 teams ended up 0-3 in swiss. EVERY. TIME. No im not celebrating braindead bubble teams who get lucky 1 time against a top team and are single handedly ruining the esport. Let tyem fight each other in quals and if they are goodenough they can play in top 16 for a chance to beat a main team IN SWISS. Beating a top team one time in a single elim in bo5 is not impressive and insane to think that is good for anything.
Its not hand holding, they earnt their slot by being better on average like CJ explained (listen to the actual pod before commenting idiot) making any team play 5000 matches in a row does not prove anything it just makes everyone burn out and teams start losing to each other randomly because its now more about whos less tired and who has less pressure, not actually about who is the better team. Making the whole thing pointless.
For Nwpo, the people on the call with him were instigating, provoking him on purpose. Basically trying to get him to say something out of line to get him cancelled and banned. Imo, this behaviour is even worse then what Nwpo said. I don't agree nor condone what Nwpo said. However, he's literally a teenager and this is literally his job, of course he's prideful and won't take any bullshit from others. Also have to take into account what is regarded as acceptable remarks in Saudi Arabia (I've never been to the Middle East, just trying to put myself in his shoes to judge the situation fairly.). I did read online that in the Middle East, there are issues with "Problem kids", that might be a bad influence for him at school or just straight up his family is racist could be the case as well. I agree with Rule One for wanting to dissociate with Nwpo and release the roster. As an org you definitely do not want the ones representing your name to be racist, sexist, etc. What needed to be done was to simply leave the call when you're starting to get annoyed and frustrated by them. Of course they would've teased Nwpo to no end because he got mad at their "tomfoolery". "It was just a prank bro.". But it would've been a better outcome for sure. As for his future, everyone makes mistakes. What matters is how you respond to these mistakes. Will you crumble into a shadow of your potential or will you fight to never make that same mistake ever again. Will Nwpo have what it takes? Find out next week on Dragon Ball Z. ❤
Caving into saying things like that isn’t acceptable. He’s a public figure and he’s getting paid to be one. It shows a lack of discipline and integrity when a couple of people in a call can make you act like an idiot. He needs to learn from this and trying to blame it on those who who provoked him into doing it makes him no better than them.
@@Bradley700 Thanks for letting me know you didn't understand a single thing I wrote. I literally said I do not condone what Nwpo did. Yes it is a lack of maturity, but so it is from the people in the call with him. Emotional manipulation in order to ruin someone is imo worse than exploding in a fit of rage. That's all I said. Also, I literally said that best thing would've been to ignore them. That's what I would've done. But I guess you didn't read that part. Next time, try to understand what you're reading instead of writing a response with a fixed idea on the matter. Have a good day.
I think multiple layers of rules for players moving regions would work for example: 1. Rank the regions based on performance at lans, and you’re not allowed to move down a certain amount of ranks but you can move higher as much as you want 2. If the first rule is not respected then you apply 2/3rds rule Or a residency rule that doesn’t allow players to move to a region way below their rank if they haven’t lived there for a certain amount of time (this one is not as good as 2/3rds for second layer though)
pre-grated/shredded cheese is coated in preservatives and stuff that stops it from sticking together, it's why it's kinda dusty feeling. The more you know.
I really dont think Nwpo's career should be over because of this. Idk what he said or the severity of it, but if Joe Biden can be openly racist during his early political years, and still become president. Then Nwpo should be able to play rocket league while being represented by an org.
I dont even like Nwpo and I think this situation is so dumb. There is no reason why he should be banned. These are kids with a magnifying glass on them.
@@undeadunluck He said the n word and talked about owning slaves and he's also Arab. Maybe if he was a "minority" group, he'd get away with it. Arabs were forced upon the reputation of being a racist and incredible sexist group of people, it was mostly their fault but society has basically classified Arabs as racist, and uncaring shells of human beings. A lot of people say the n-word and talk about owning slaves all the time, I hear it openly at High school. What makes it difference is that Nwpo got recorded. Nwpo should be put into a sub position, and if he gets recorded saying some wild sh--, they should just drop him entirely.
people just assume RLCS is a fixture that will always exist like the NFL or something. It's wild to see people actually tell complaining orgs to shut up or leave. If orgs don't buy into RLCS, the esport ends. Like, it will actually be over, it exists in the first place because orgs put money into it. I cannot stress enough how IMPERMANENT RLCS is and how "good for the esport" is a genuinely really important thing. This isn't a massive institution like the NBA or NFL, this shit WILL die if the private investors putting money into it stop doing that
G2, GenG, Vitality, BDS, Mates, etc all win and make Swiss everytime. No excuses for KC. Not a format problem when every other team that’s supposed to always make it always makes it. Then they’re going to cope and be like “well Shop and Dig missed a regional.” So you’re saying KC is on the same tier as SR and Dig? Make sure you accurately reflect that on your next power rankings then. But you won’t will you? Lmfao the cope is real
This comment is more than a Million% correct and accurate than whatever yapping was happening in that 10 minute segment. The season qualifier is very good format and no team must bypass that whatever rank you are.
Epic is terrified of anything resembling a stable league with consistent orgs and it is infuriating. Quals are fun and all for getting new people in the league but at the same time it lowers the professionality of the scene
As a fan of cheese, this is correct. Colby Jack is Colby cheese with Monterey Jack. Pepper jack just has peppers in Monterey Jack. Monterey Jack tends to mix well with a lot of cheese. I was in future farmers of America and competed in dairy competitions where you had to guess what each cheese is, by taste, feel, texture and smell.
Having the final day be Swiss to get into the main event just makes things unnecessarily complicated. Because what if K Corp has that bad day on Friday or Saturday then they still miss out and everybody would complain about the format. I am a believer in the K Corp should win their games because let's stop pretending that they don't have at least two of the best players in the world on the same roster. CJCJ is right and it would also solve what Rizzo brought up about organization stability, just go back to last year and have the top eight in points auto qualify 🤷♂️
If Geng or G2 lost in open qualifier CJCJ and Johnny would still say the format sucks but would also drop them down out of the top 10 in the world. Bet they dont with KC. Expected this out of johnny but CJCJ is even worse lol. Forgot he swings on Rises sack. Vatira has dropped from best in the world to somewhere out of the top ten fs.
@@AliG-yu2bn ayyjayy went to Eu for a bootcamp and instantly got top 100. EU has harder ranked, but there is so much more skilled players playing which makes it easier to rank up.
OG beat them twice not just ones. SSG has a consistent mid lvl. OG has a great peak (which u don’t expect from a team with low mechs) and a low low floor
I’m sorry, I agree in the fact about the format being bad, and it should be Swiss stage, and kc was probably extremely nervous in the lower bracket. However, the fact that johnnyboi said that the 16-32 range of NA was way worse than EU is insanity, the teams in the final round of both regions are very comparable, and I watched the kc and top cougars series and Kc was absolutely abysmal, and top cougars really didn’t even play that well at all really. To say teams like young whipper snappers, incorrect, deleted XD are way worse than teams like suhh and top cougars is extreme coping for the EU region and is disgraceful, top cougars would be a 16-32 team in NA and you can’t prove me otherwise, the top 16 teams in NA r very solid, and so is EU, but Johnnyboi always gotta take shots cuz he mad that the EU one seed is out
@@willstephens9433 yeah but G2 have lost to BDS a better team sure but a team KC hasn't lost a single series against , so your point is kind of stupid, also At the major the only teams KC lost to were falcons and Gentle Mates who beat G2 in the finals and won anyway. Im 100% sure if the finals of major 1 were G2 vs KC, KC would've won. They were simply the better team of the 2.
Cant believe johnny is comparing KC to shopify, dignitas, and old moist lol they all should be top 8 power rankings then since they are on the same level. SMH just admit EU is not as strong as you think.
I think the ssa thing is helping that region improve way more than them making a major and getting destroyed does. The ssa region is finally playing solid eu teams, even though they have high ping. I don’t think it’s right but it could be for the better of the region if they can improve quicker considering they can’t q ranked that easily.
These people never talk about top eu teams failing but if an na team does the same they constantly harp about it. G2 have never not qualified or lost to teams that they should be beating every time. Kc have been constantly underperforming since regional 3 but apparently they're still a top 2 team with a top 8 and not qualifying for an open qual for major 2.
OCE players got banned for less by Epic than nwpos. It wasn't the word that was said, it's all of the statements. CJ talking about things not being okay now when they might have been 10 years ago, I hear his point but for what nwpo was saying to be okay you'd have to go back 60 years. Can't be calling someone a slave and talking about how they should be whipped. I can understand Epic not wanting to get involved with cases outside of RL but that should mean the former banned pros are unbanned as well.
Damn, Kep was saying all week that Rizzo was going to a baseball game that's why they brought in squishy for 1 regional. What a liar, what a snake. I can't believe his kicked Turbo and Rizzo out of a team that were just meme for content. To do it with 1 regional left in the season is so crazy too, he could've just waited till next year. His performance against V2 was the worst performanceof any player Turbo cheeks have played this season. Actual rat though, I hope he loses some support on his twitch.
Absolutely hate the idea of franchising! I think it's terrible for the esport and the orgs as well. Franchising often means barely anyone knows who the orgs actually are (you just have some name like Seoul Dynasty). It gives such minimal reason to follow an org rather than players, even more so than now. The promotion and relegation just means you have gate keeping which taints the notion of it being 'the best'. Overwatch did this and it turned out a heap of the best players were in that second league but were sitting there waiting for a top player to pick them. No need for franchising, just have 8 auto qual for main event, that is enough.
37:10 ummh no? fans are not gonna just blidnly kiss your feet, they don't owe you anything they're allowed to be angry because you represent them and you messed up and trolled the series. stay with me now
I don't buy into this "don't hate the player" take. These players from Europe etc. know that they are taking away opportunities from a region which has significantly less support and opportunities than in Europe. They know what they are doing and it says a lot about their character. The rules need to change to stop this, you could not do this in an international sporting event. Don't respect the players or the rules.
Lmfao Jhonny trying to cope so hard. If this was any NA team he would'nt even bat an eye. He is so dillusional for saying the format is alright before.
Well I'm from the United States and i 💯 believe in the 1st amendment. And right to free speech. Tho i dont agree with what was said. I believe everyone is allowed to say anything they want. So no i dont think he should be banned at all or anything
Not saying it’s okay for him to say racist stuff like that obviously not okay but the amount of things high schoolers say that they don’t actually think about is crazy so it’s really not surprising to see just he’s the only one that’s been recorded imo. Kids just say anything for a laugh
The copium in this video is a joke. Talking about how its hard for the #1 team (KC) to be consistent. Mean while G2 has been was more consistent than KC. They have not only qualified for every event and the first team to qualify for worlds, but also have made the Grand finals of every event. Yet highest they have rated them is top 5. What a joke of biased compium.
ssa ruined by spain? where was johnny when furia/complexity/gen g were taking na's spots at lan? he said it was fine then. just like he didnt care at the 100s of other teams that had 2 hard qual matches until it was kc. i been getting annoyed at just how bias this guy has been. literally last saturday he was calling g2 "failures" because "they were built to win lans" then the next day hes saying we need to change the format to accommodate kc. like shouldnt they just be "failures" because "they were built to win"?
NA is fine imo too, the difference being SSA is an undeveloped region who have many issues going against them like loadshedding for example. Going to SSA being from EU/NA is just punching down. not the same going from EU to NA - Rizzo
@@TheChalkedCast well ya obviously i understand it sucks for ssa, but my point is more its not surprising when you celebrate all the other import teams. eu players likely will continue filling all the regions at this rate at least ssa apac and na. i think more teams will stop playing 6 regionals where they might get like 12th place and instead fight to make all 3 lans in a place like ssa or apac.
That’s the thing I am saudi and growing up in school you can see all different skin colors and let me say why N word isn’t 1:1 translation to english version You never hear black ppl in the USA say the N word to someone white with the intention of insulting them as that does not make any sense right??… here in saudi this happens i’ve heard it countless times in mid/high public schools… the word get adopted to 13-15yo vocabulary at that age for a different context as a word that should insult you no matter what skin color you are! You hear it a lot when ppl fight at that age NO MATTER WHAT SKIN COLOR they both are and it mostly ppl use them when they are extremely triggered and it easily to trigger a saudi and make them rage insanely by cursing their parents and specifically mothers as mothers here are above everything even the Quran says “heaven is under mother’s feet” This is not justification but it highlights something EVERYBODY outside the country is not aware off and probably most won’t understand. In Australia I am sure the C word is common there even between their content creators however in the USA/UK someone can get cancelled for it and all of the 3 countries speak the same language!!
I don't like rules for some and not all. Certain words in the US are offensive but also used as common labels. At one point I was banned from rocket league repeatedly for nearly a year, I'd type a word in a lobby after everyone left and get auto-banned for harassment. As a protest. I would open a ticket and simply ask why am I banned WHO am I harassing... myself?!?! I lost a few friends in-game over my absolute refusal to let it go. It's dumb. It's against my American values and if you don't understand the importance of dying on that hill, you aren't paying attention to the world. I got banned for saying something like, "One of my favorite comedian's is Richard Pryor and one of his albums is called That N***er's Crazy" There is no offense. It's absolutely stupid to be banned. Sure nwpo used one in a worse context, but still it's just mouth noises. I now use many racial slurs with word replacements. Ninja please. My nickles. I hate all nickels. Think what you like about my insanity, I'd rather be right and alone than go along with everyone's utter nonsense. The answer is we should let people use slurs and when someone uses one in the worst way AT someone. That is the same as them screaming out loud I'm ignorant and letting everyone else know it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with knowing who these losers are. Let's see if CZcams even lets this post, lol.
I mean seriously, it's laughable. Calling someone a name, EVEN jokingly - banned or removed. But threatening someone's life, an actual legal crime in my country and all someone has to do is say what Johnny says here and it's fine, #saved. No censor, no apologies, no bans... These glaring contradictions in standards may be overlooked by many, but they stick out to me like a sore thumb 42:53 (I think it's fine, given context, but it realistically is SO MUCH WORSE to say something like what CJ says than any slur I've ever heard) I digress.

Next time, try to understand what you're reading instead of writing a response with a fixed idea on the matter.
Have a good day.
No way bro actually writes a book in the comments then part 2 as a reply 😂🤣😭☠️
This is rocket league.
Calling provoking someone to say racist things worse than actually being racist is stupid af.
I think multiple layers of rules for players moving regions would work for example:
1. Rank the regions based on performance at lans, and you’re not allowed to move down a certain amount of ranks but you can move higher as much as you want
2. If the first rule is not respected then you apply 2/3rds rule
Or a residency rule that doesn’t allow players to move to a region way below their rank if they haven’t lived there for a certain amount of time (this one is not as good as 2/3rds for second layer though)
pre-grated/shredded cheese is coated in preservatives and stuff that stops it from sticking together, it's why it's kinda dusty feeling. The more you know.
I really dont think Nwpo's career should be over because of this. Idk what he said or the severity of it, but if Joe Biden can be openly racist during his early political years, and still become president. Then Nwpo should be able to play rocket league while being represented by an org.
Nwpo is too good, he's near 1v3ing in RLCS, he's the Zen of ME if not better, people will disagree but nwpo is insane
If Daniel can still play, nwpo probably shouldn't be, but I haven't looked into it or know if it was targeted, etc
I dont even like Nwpo and I think this situation is so dumb. There is no reason why he should be banned. These are kids with a magnifying glass on them.
@@undeadunluck He said the n word and talked about owning slaves and he's also Arab. Maybe if he was a "minority" group, he'd get away with it. Arabs were forced upon the reputation of being a racist and incredible sexist group of people, it was mostly their fault but society has basically classified Arabs as racist, and uncaring shells of human beings. A lot of people say the n-word and talk about owning slaves all the time, I hear it openly at High school. What makes it difference is that Nwpo got recorded. Nwpo should be put into a sub position, and if he gets recorded saying some wild sh--, they should just drop him entirely.
people just assume RLCS is a fixture that will always exist like the NFL or something. It's wild to see people actually tell complaining orgs to shut up or leave. If orgs don't buy into RLCS, the esport ends. Like, it will actually be over, it exists in the first place because orgs put money into it. I cannot stress enough how IMPERMANENT RLCS is and how "good for the esport" is a genuinely really important thing. This isn't a massive institution like the NBA or NFL, this shit WILL die if the private investors putting money into it stop doing that
G2, GenG, Vitality, BDS, Mates, etc all win and make Swiss everytime. No excuses for KC. Not a format problem when every other team that’s supposed to always make it always makes it.
Then they’re going to cope and be like “well Shop and Dig missed a regional.” So you’re saying KC is on the same tier as SR and Dig? Make sure you accurately reflect that on your next power rankings then. But you won’t will you? Lmfao the cope is real
This comment is more than a Million% correct and accurate than whatever yapping was happening in that 10 minute segment. The season qualifier is very good format and no team must bypass that whatever rank you are.
Episode 80! If you count the patreon it could be like episode 160 i reckon
Shredded cheese has potato starch to keep them from sticking together.
That explains the difference in taste, always thought pre-shredded cheese was slightly more bitter but never knew why.
if anything official happened to nwpo with rlcs, it would be absolutely ridiculous
This is the best episode since the gold rush bans
Chalked cast should just make a team and call it Johnnybois buns
Can we just see Jonnys new top 5 in the world list? I'm quite intrigued as to how it would look.
Finally, been waitin on th is for almost two weeks
Turbo's Cheeks V3 - Rizzo, Turbo, CJCJ (high ping but the content bro) 🥅⚽🚗🔥🔥🔥
Grated cheese
Also, I'm for the change. The 2/3s rule isn't the solution though
Epic is terrified of anything resembling a stable league with consistent orgs and it is infuriating. Quals are fun and all for getting new people in the league but at the same time it lowers the professionality of the scene
In the SSA situation defence, I think limitless are getting better for it (eye test wise).
I'm devo'd to not see them at lan though
If #1 EU team lose in open qual its tough and we make excuses but if that happened to G2 NA would NEVER hear the end of it.
The reason they have jack is if its nixed eith Monterey jack cheese thats what i noticed workin at retail
As a fan of cheese, this is correct. Colby Jack is Colby cheese with Monterey Jack. Pepper jack just has peppers in Monterey Jack. Monterey Jack tends to mix well with a lot of cheese. I was in future farmers of America and competed in dairy competitions where you had to guess what each cheese is, by taste, feel, texture and smell.
Having the final day be Swiss to get into the main event just makes things unnecessarily complicated. Because what if K Corp has that bad day on Friday or Saturday then they still miss out and everybody would complain about the format. I am a believer in the K Corp should win their games because let's stop pretending that they don't have at least two of the best players in the world on the same roster. CJCJ is right and it would also solve what Rizzo brought up about organization stability, just go back to last year and have the top eight in points auto qualify 🤷♂️
If Geng or G2 lost in open qualifier CJCJ and Johnny would still say the format sucks but would also drop them down out of the top 10 in the world. Bet they dont with KC. Expected this out of johnny but CJCJ is even worse lol. Forgot he swings on Rises sack. Vatira has dropped from best in the world to somewhere out of the top ten fs.
Yes but qualifying in eu is different than qualifying in NA
@AliG-yu2bn it should be it's way bigger than NA more people ur going to have more good teams
YUP.
@@AliG-yu2bn ayyjayy went to Eu for a bootcamp and instantly got top 100. EU has harder ranked, but there is so much more skilled players playing which makes it easier to rank up.
@@NassRLSS ?
yeh exactly what I'm saying. aka qualifiers are more difficult. ANd tbh he should be getting top 100 in 2v2 given he is a top tier pro
It's because they have to coat the shredded cheese so it doesn't stick together. Not nearly as good.
OG beat them twice not just ones. SSG has a consistent mid lvl. OG has a great peak (which u don’t expect from a team with low mechs) and a low low floor
I’m sorry, I agree in the fact about the format being bad, and it should be Swiss stage, and kc was probably extremely nervous in the lower bracket. However, the fact that johnnyboi said that the 16-32 range of NA was way worse than EU is insanity, the teams in the final round of both regions are very comparable, and I watched the kc and top cougars series and Kc was absolutely abysmal, and top cougars really didn’t even play that well at all really. To say teams like young whipper snappers, incorrect, deleted XD are way worse than teams like suhh and top cougars is extreme coping for the EU region and is disgraceful, top cougars would be a 16-32 team in NA and you can’t prove me otherwise, the top 16 teams in NA r very solid, and so is EU, but Johnnyboi always gotta take shots cuz he mad that the EU one seed is out
Also I love you johnnboi, you just say some crazy stuff
Also kc got beat 3-1 but mikeboy, rizex, and TehQoz, g2 or gen g would never lose to them lololol
@@willstephens9433 yeah but G2 have lost to BDS a better team sure but a team KC hasn't lost a single series against , so your point is kind of stupid, also At the major the only teams KC lost to were falcons and Gentle Mates who beat G2 in the finals and won anyway. Im 100% sure if the finals of major 1 were G2 vs KC, KC would've won. They were simply the better team of the 2.
Also don't forget Turbos cheeks made it to top 32 in NA and got an RLCS point. Even Rizzo said there's no way that would ever happen in EU
Wait until everyone finds out what NWPO is short for
Was it trk who reported nwpo
"16-20 EU is in another class compared to NA" and the cope has been revealed.
36:24 Rizzo could still be pro if he stayed playing octane
Cant believe johnny is comparing KC to shopify, dignitas, and old moist lol they all should be top 8 power rankings then since they are on the same level. SMH just admit EU is not as strong as you think.
You're right, KC is a tier above
According to all recent LANs, they seem to be pretty darn strong.
I think the ssa thing is helping that region improve way more than them making a major and getting destroyed does. The ssa region is finally playing solid eu teams, even though they have high ping. I don’t think it’s right but it could be for the better of the region if they can improve quicker considering they can’t q ranked that easily.
Mena is shaddy af. 2nd time they tried to get NWPO banned. Shaddy or maybe scarred of him
Yeah the timing has seemed weird each time
Who’s scared of him? He’s honestly the 4th best in mena
@@adamlevin438nah he was by far the best carrying Okhalid and Ahmad nowadays to be competing with Falcons is insane
@@adamlevin438 na he definitely isn't.
@@omari8717 everyone on falcons is better than him
What a weird video. KC has been consistently playing worse and they’re just afraid to talk about it
These people never talk about top eu teams failing but if an na team does the same they constantly harp about it. G2 have never not qualified or lost to teams that they should be beating every time. Kc have been constantly underperforming since regional 3 but apparently they're still a top 2 team with a top 8 and not qualifying for an open qual for major 2.
@@messaldo1249 I think Rizzo being 2v3 makes it hard for him to defend the case. Pretty lame
OCE players got banned for less by Epic than nwpos. It wasn't the word that was said, it's all of the statements. CJ talking about things not being okay now when they might have been 10 years ago, I hear his point but for what nwpo was saying to be okay you'd have to go back 60 years. Can't be calling someone a slave and talking about how they should be whipped.
I can understand Epic not wanting to get involved with cases outside of RL but that should mean the former banned pros are unbanned as well.
Inb4 johnnyboi doesnt move kcorp from #2 in his global rankings 🤣🤣🤣
KEHVIN THE GOAT ❤❤❤
I feel like KC should have just won.
Damn, Kep was saying all week that Rizzo was going to a baseball game that's why they brought in squishy for 1 regional. What a liar, what a snake. I can't believe his kicked Turbo and Rizzo out of a team that were just meme for content. To do it with 1 regional left in the season is so crazy too, he could've just waited till next year. His performance against V2 was the worst performanceof any player Turbo cheeks have played this season. Actual rat though, I hope he loses some support on his twitch.
Absolutely hate the idea of franchising! I think it's terrible for the esport and the orgs as well.
Franchising often means barely anyone knows who the orgs actually are (you just have some name like Seoul Dynasty). It gives such minimal reason to follow an org rather than players, even more so than now.
The promotion and relegation just means you have gate keeping which taints the notion of it being 'the best'. Overwatch did this and it turned out a heap of the best players were in that second league but were sitting there waiting for a top player to pick them.
No need for franchising, just have 8 auto qual for main event, that is enough.
37:10 ummh no? fans are not gonna just blidnly kiss your feet, they don't owe you anything they're allowed to be angry because you represent them and you messed up and trolled the series. stay with me now
Episode 80 and M80 still can't win a Quarter Finals... LOL
literally an argument going on around 7:20 LMAO in the chat comments
I don't buy into this "don't hate the player" take. These players from Europe etc. know that they are taking away opportunities from a region which has significantly less support and opportunities than in Europe. They know what they are doing and it says a lot about their character. The rules need to change to stop this, you could not do this in an international sporting event. Don't respect the players or the rules.
What are they meant to do when eu has only 4 major spots. Its a joke for them as well.
this.
Lmfao Jhonny trying to cope so hard. If this was any NA team he would'nt even bat an eye. He is so dillusional for saying the format is alright before.
1/3
Bro this kingqoozy guy is so stupid in the chat 😹
Well I'm from the United States and i 💯 believe in the 1st amendment. And right to free speech. Tho i dont agree with what was said. I believe everyone is allowed to say anything they want. So no i dont think he should be banned at all or anything
Not saying it’s okay for him to say racist stuff like that obviously not okay but the amount of things high schoolers say that they don’t actually think about is crazy so it’s really not surprising to see just he’s the only one that’s been recorded imo. Kids just say anything for a laugh
The copium in this video is a joke. Talking about how its hard for the #1 team (KC) to be consistent. Mean while G2 has been was more consistent than KC. They have not only qualified for every event and the first team to qualify for worlds, but also have made the Grand finals of every event. Yet highest they have rated them is top 5. What a joke of biased compium.
Bro is not 26 at least pushing 28,29
Moist should go back to EU. This new team is ass pick up Jobless they seem to be doing much better
Also get rid of Noah he's lost his touch
@@Thylaesianelf this team made eevery top 8 prior to moistr
ssa ruined by spain? where was johnny when furia/complexity/gen g were taking na's spots at lan?
he said it was fine then.
just like he didnt care at the 100s of other teams that had 2 hard qual matches until it was kc.
i been getting annoyed at just how bias this guy has been.
literally last saturday he was calling g2 "failures" because "they were built to win lans"
then the next day hes saying we need to change the format to accommodate kc. like shouldnt they just be "failures" because "they were built to win"?
100% correct. EU bias has gone to another level.
NA is fine imo too, the difference being SSA is an undeveloped region who have many issues going against them like loadshedding for example. Going to SSA being from EU/NA is just punching down. not the same going from EU to NA - Rizzo
@@TheChalkedCast well ya obviously i understand it sucks for ssa, but my point is more its not surprising when you celebrate all the other import teams.
eu players likely will continue filling all the regions at this rate at least ssa apac and na.
i think more teams will stop playing 6 regionals where they might get like 12th place and instead fight to make all 3 lans in a place like ssa or apac.
words can't be racist, only intentions. Words are just sounds most of the time, hate is racist. racism is hate.
I'm sick of this sensitivity.
That’s the thing I am saudi and growing up in school you can see all different skin colors and let me say why N word isn’t 1:1 translation to english version
You never hear black ppl in the USA say the N word to someone white with the intention of insulting them as that does not make any sense right??… here in saudi this happens i’ve heard it countless times in mid/high public schools… the word get adopted to 13-15yo vocabulary at that age for a different context as a word that should insult you no matter what skin color you are! You hear it a lot when ppl fight at that age NO MATTER WHAT SKIN COLOR they both are and it mostly ppl use them when they are extremely triggered and it easily to trigger a saudi and make them rage insanely by cursing their parents and specifically mothers as mothers here are above everything even the Quran says “heaven is under mother’s feet”
This is not justification but it highlights something EVERYBODY outside the country is not aware off and probably most won’t understand.
In Australia I am sure the C word is common there even between their content creators however in the USA/UK someone can get cancelled for it and all of the 3 countries speak the same language!!
I don't like rules for some and not all. Certain words in the US are offensive but also used as common labels.
At one point I was banned from rocket league repeatedly for nearly a year, I'd type a word in a lobby after everyone left and get auto-banned for harassment.
As a protest. I would open a ticket and simply ask why am I banned WHO am I harassing... myself?!?!
I lost a few friends in-game over my absolute refusal to let it go. It's dumb. It's against my American values and if you don't understand the importance of dying on that hill, you aren't paying attention to the world.
I got banned for saying something like, "One of my favorite comedian's is Richard Pryor and one of his albums is called That N***er's Crazy"
There is no offense. It's absolutely stupid to be banned.
Sure nwpo used one in a worse context, but still it's just mouth noises.
I now use many racial slurs with word replacements.
Ninja please.
My nickles.
I hate all nickels.
Think what you like about my insanity, I'd rather be right and alone than go along with everyone's utter nonsense.
The answer is we should let people use slurs and when someone uses one in the worst way AT someone. That is the same as them screaming out loud I'm ignorant and letting everyone else know it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with knowing who these losers are. Let's see if CZcams even lets this post, lol.
I mean seriously, it's laughable. Calling someone a name, EVEN jokingly - banned or removed.
But threatening someone's life, an actual legal crime in my country and all someone has to do is say what Johnny says here and it's fine, #saved.
No censor, no apologies, no bans...
These glaring contradictions in standards may be overlooked by many, but they stick out to me like a sore thumb 42:53
(I think it's fine, given context, but it realistically is SO MUCH WORSE to say something like what CJ says than any slur I've ever heard)
I digress.
