Azael made us an amazing commercial and is forever welcome on the podcast, even if he represents a lesser region.

Vedius putting G2 ahead of SKT cz this iteration of skt didn't prove anything internationally. I wonder what G2 ever did internationally to prove his point.

Pretty sure that's not what I said fam

That IS the only reason you gave.

"I think G2 are as good as we talk about" immediately followed by "SKT are not the same team as they are in the past, and should not be put on a pedestal before they have international success"

So if that's not your reasoning, what is?

So what you actually took was one of the takeaway points at the end of my talk with Drakos and Frosk. While arguably it could've been worded better, the main point I wanted to make was that I see a lot of comments putting SKT on a pedestal alongside the likes of IG, which I don't think they deserve based on their recent play, and I also see a number of comments believing G2 don't stand a chance against IG and SKT, which I strongly disagree with and believe they should be rated higher. If we were to use numbers out of 5, I would put IG at a 4 and SKT + G2 at a 3, some fans seem to put SKT at 4 and G2 at a 2. This was the logic I was attempting to challenge. Hopefully this makes more sense. (The numbers are arbitrary, please don't infer anything from them xD)

With regards to the matchup, which I will link here, I said in a bo1, I would give G2 an advantage because of their highly flexible drafting that makes them difficult to prep for.
