SideshowSouth American team? Maybe you've heard something I haven't, but I don't think there are any plans for that. EU/NA/AU/AP is quite enough!
From what i know there arent any plans atm. Even if we had plans i cant see any south american team competing with top teams.

Very hyped for this team at i58. With so much talent on the roster I think it'll be interesting to see how they match up to EU/NA teams.

Sam_Houstongnat[I think the team representing asia fortress is pretty set on going. Some of the Western Australian players have scrimmed some 6s matches against asia fortress in mix-teams. This included some of their players that intend to head to i58. They have a very different play style from any other region and some extremely talented players, so it will be exciting to see how they fare against the rest of the world.
Last time I watched a high level Asia Fortress cast the players seemed to have pretty solid DM and/but played super aggressively. It was a ton of fun to watch but I wonder how well that'd work against more cohesive teams. Does this stack up with what you've seen?
the asian players that have played in this games very good dm, especially the ones intending to go to i58. They definitely play aggressively, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes against people with similarly matched dm levels and cohesion but its definitely been troubling to play against when you lose coordination for a brief moment. The AU (perth/wa only) teams that we've thrown together to play these guys have only been mildly cohesive and varying dm levels (div1-2) rather than being able to straight up pick the best AU players/have jasmine scrim them.
this is largely because you're limited to players/countries who ping <100 to singapore servers.
ps, teejay has some of the best rocket aim I've seen in a while. not dissimilar to geoh and yuki in au - expect big things if he goes to i58.

yeah that sounds pretty accurate, i think teams will need to have strong teamplay to counter the big dm of the asia fortress players. Its really hard to say how they will perform against the other top teams because we have seen some super aggressive/super good dm teams do very well in the past and also some do not-so-well.

you guys are cute

are you a fucking moron? those aren't even remotely the same thing, everyone with a brain knew iM was at least decent, AU has a long history of fielding teams that are somewhat analogous to other top regions (Mad Dogz etc.)

I've watched a few casts and streams, as well as watching 150 ping AU pug teams smash people, I've seen enough
I don't think you guys know what the "eye test" is
AU teams play like real teams with strats and cohesion
asian teams (and brazilian teams) play like braindead pug teams

You cant judge just based on pugs and several cast, who knows they might have a top team manage to compete with the other contenders

Idk, I doubt they'll be able to compete closely with the other top teams but I'm not sure they'll get smashed, I reckon that playing at i58 might motivate them to work on their play, and if that wont then getting smashed at i58 will motivate them to improve for any i series in the future that they might attend.

im pretty sure asiafortress' highest level is the equivalent of high open here in NA (according to people that have played in their leagues that play in NA), but we'll see in a couple months if they can prove us wrong

i'm not sure where you heard that from cause even if i'm being very pessimistic about rating asiafortress players I'd say if we got together the best team we could right now, assuming they all try and care etc, I think they wouldn't go any lower than mid IM.
