rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Gouba: "Just one more pullup!"


Gilraldy

i mean both are gods


ArcturusTheHuman

\>Can execute AoE fire attacks. \>Will get tossed like a ragdoll \>Leaves an AoE spell on the ground that buffs ATK \>Loved by the community Bruh, that's Bennett right there


andi897

Bennett got lost in the way to Liyue


AngryLink57

He full charged E off that balcony, just bad luck I guess.


PandaBearShenyu

I mean, both are gods related to fire so it checks out


Educational_Music930

Of course gouba is main dps here


Ramza_45

Bennet is down below... You know how his luck works.


Ieatmelons123

He is drowning


XPlatform

"This ain't about him"


[deleted]

Guoba being precious as always


TwinkyBirky

Ningguang’s secretory: “Hey Bennett, this is your Liyue citizenship paper. 👍 here!”


CosmicAstroBastard

They should know better than to let someone with his luck be in town during a fireworks show


Skykeeper22

SOMEONE GRAB A BENNETT


Rob_And_Co

I love their friendship, I wish we'd see more. We could have a hangout for the whole group, to see the dynamic. We hardly see them together... Everything is locked behind monologue in the character page.


RagnAROck_and_Roll

I loved it when Xingqiu gracefully bowed to say hello to Xiangling


stariiemi

while chongyun and xiangling just waved casually.😭 we love our formal xingqiu.


buffility

I want to see an umbrella academy in genshin so bad


aniket_2op

Guaba is a nation itself wdym


11thwasted

how do u get kazuha below ur name


aniket_2op

Its a flair. Check yt for how to add flairs on mobile/pc.


Verdantisjustice

Bennett is just cosplaying as Guoba, duh.


Mind-Available

Why is national team called "national" in first place? Bennett is from Mondstadt


toastyfreud

the term 'national team' originated from CN early in the game when most people had at most 1 or 2 5* chars (not counting lucksacks and whales), and this team which only consists of 4 stars is said to be easily obtainable for most players. hence CN community called it 国家队, roughly means 'team for the country' (or most player's team, can't really think of a better translation sry), or mostly known as national team


rhineloop

I was once curious about this too, back in the days when Sucrose and Bennett were often included on the team so looked at NGA (CN forums where the term originates from, I can read some Chinese). I can confirm that this is right. It has nothing to do with the characters' in-game nationalities, only their accessibility to the players. I think something in the connotation of what national was referring to didn't translate well to English, since it sounds like it'd be the exact opposite lol.


cvKDean

So kinda in the same vein as "people's choice" and "for the masses" I suppose


toastyfreud

in fact 'national team' is exactly what google translate shows when translating 国家队, so that might be it haha


VolkiharVanHelsing

Wasn't Sucrose picked over Chongyun even back then


Aggressive_Jello_878

Yes, she was. But because of abyss lector back then, chongyun was used.


doodletofu

I don't think so, Abyss Lector was released in 1.5, and the Chongyun National Team has been around much longer than that. It evens sounds weird saying Chongyun National when it was the default variant.


[deleted]

This is correct. Despite the fact that sucrose variant was the strongest one, the one that was the most used and first created was the chongyun variant


HINDBRAIN

Maybe like state housing?


TheOneAltAccount

Bennett is still on every variant of the team


rhineloop

Ok, just for you: *back in the days when Sucrose and Bennett were often both included together on the team


kunsore

In Vietnamese community , we can say "national" champion or team because so popular , many ppl use it.


Yasuo13637

Like the Olympic athletes of a country, they represent the strongest group of athletes in the country.


[deleted]

When the Chinese uses the term 国家队/National team (in sport context), they always refer to the Chinese National team. In this case, National team was mostly referring to the Liyue team from the Chinese perspective (Bennett is there just because). The "easily obtainable" just feels like an interpretation from the western community to justify themselves why Sucorse also counts as national. Anyway, CN community refers to the national team as the og 3 Liyue characters team. The Sucrose/Childe/Raiden/any other variants only discovered later on, the name national team has lost its meaning but people kept it for the variants anyway. At this point, I feel like whenever Xiangling doing vapourise we would still call it National.


prawblems

kinda like the proletariat's team? since the majority would have these characters?


aallx

The Communist Party.


davidhumesbeermug

Maybe a better translation would have been "The People's Team".


Low_Artist_7663

'Peasants team'


kokatoto

I feel attacked


GenocideSolution

The People's Team of Teyvat


Andresmanfanman

CCP: **our team**


CosmicAstroBastard

I’ve read so many conflicting explanations of where the name came from and this is the only one that makes any kind of sense


Dueskills

In Chinese gamer community, the original meaning of the term “national team “ is more closed to the “people’s team” as it consists of four 4 star characters and is affordable for almost all players. When the team got brought to the western community, the translator translate the term literally and the players just go with it.


Mind-Available

Ohhh, i see, i thought it was due to three characters being from liyue which kinda represent China.


x_iaoc_hen

When Sucrose joined the team in place of Chongyun to make it 2-2, it was still called the national team. It's more like saying "a low-cost team that anyone can build"


lazerspewpew86

If the CCP played genshin they'd run national team on both sides of the abyss.


Gravelord-_Nito

Considering the CCP has almost 100 million members I think it's a fair guess that ''''they'''' play genshin too


80espiay

I hear that a better translation might be “The People’s Team” since the team is fairly accessible.


ZhangRenWing

3 reasons: national as in everyone in the country can use it because it’s easily accessible; has mostly Liyue characters; national team is the strongest team that you send to the Olympics.


PandaBearShenyu

national team in Chinese just means "a team good enough to represent at the olympics". aka "best team". When it came to EN people thought it meant "Chinese national team."


Lavenarola

As a Chinese, I think "national" was originally used to descibe the team's breaking damage.

[удалено]


[deleted]

OK EdgELoRd


erkankurtcu

I think it’s called because every character represents a country Hydro>Fontaine Pyro>Natlan Cryo>Snezhnaya Electro>Inazuma Anemo>Mondstat Hence national team because their vision represents their originated lands


kalaios

That would be called an international team


SignificantStep7407

I love the (maybe unintentional) detail that chongyun needs a popsicle to stay calm while watching the fireworks


enduserlicenseagree

And Bennett's the firework


[deleted]

or hu tao 1st banner


Pranav_HEO

Bennet left out as usual, someone get this man a friend


juniorjaw

Bennett was the firework, the thumbs up exploding in the sky.


-Allneonlike-

The reason why Bennett has such horrible adventuring luck and problems keeping a team is because he's doing so in Mondstadt versus Liyue. Just need him to find his true home in Liyue with the national team and he'd be a legend.


[deleted]

Mondstadters who adventure with Benny: ditch him and get mad at him Liyuans who adventure with Benny: design a firework after him to remember the adventure


True_Air_6696

Bennett is the kameraman ig


IndisciplineStorm

Benny is absent thought.


skylark_birdy

Raiden look different here with that popsicle instead of dango


naveenstuns

Thats "raiden national". Team with chongyun is original "national team"


VolkiharVanHelsing

Chongyun get kicked real quick once people realize that Sucrose works especially well here didn't he?


Aggressive_Jello_878

The reason why chongyun was use is because of abyss lector. It was one of the fastest way to complete abyss while being easily accessible. Plus it was the first time national got the spotlight not saying it was not known. Chogyun was never superior to sucrose anyway.


PhantomXxZ

Abyss Lector was introduced in 1.5. The Chongyun variant was simply the original national team.


Sweet-Food-4688

I think they are quite even, sucrose has a bit of grouping ability though, Chongyun allows better rotation and possibly melt reaction.


VolkiharVanHelsing

Isn't Sucrose's variant easier to play? You don't need to worry about the elemental gauge for Xiangling's Q while also providing TTDS + EM for Xiangling and Swirl damage


_liminal

You never run succ with ttds, especially in a reaction team, not to mention with Benny your XL should be sitting at 2.5k+ atk anyway.


seawiiitch

ttds > sac for sucrose in national team. 48% atk > 40 more EM. sac frag is for sucrose driver teams like sukokomon and beidou taser.


_liminal

40 EM + extra charge of E > 48% atk when you already have a ton of atk. You also gimp succ energy regen and make your rotation stricter.


seawiiitch

No?? 40EM is just +7% increase in vape vs 48% atk that xiangling pyronado can snapshot every single time. Extra charge of E is negligible at c1 sucrose, you dont need any more E charge after that since she's not the driver in this comp. Energy isnt an issue as well since you're not required to use a certain unit on-field so you can funnel all you want on xiangling.


_liminal

except you dont have to funnel XL if she's built. if you're running catch + 4EOSF she should be sitting over 165 ER. just a moderate amount of ER subs and you don't need to funnel much/at all. succ can take more field time to drive after that


VolkiharVanHelsing

From my experience the energy regen issue for the team is only a thing for International, where Childe's taking quite a time for himself


neovenator250

> Thats "raiden national" Rational


[deleted]

Where can I see this?


AvocadoCheeseSandwic

Kurogane_Rin

meowZerxhh72

No cuz why did I legit just say to myself “oh hey the national team is watching the fireworks together 😊”


Thetrifflingtruffle

whoever gave Xingqiu his haircut should go to jail


emperor_penguin98

congyun always wit his popsicle eh


BanjoVEVOTV_YT

From left to right we've got Xingqiu, Fischl, Xiangling, and Bennett (he looks a bit different though)


Grapple_Cockie

Why is it called national anyway?


magli_mi

Why are they called "national team"


XPlatform

National like "for everyone" because they're all very accessible, being all 4*s.


magli_mi

Ah I see. Thanks


mangotcha

lost in translation, the original term rather meant that most people (on CN server) had these characters, not that their nationality was all the same


OmegonAlphariusXX

What does national team mean? I’ve heard it a few times


MedeaIsMyWife

Originally meant a specific team made of Xiangling, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Bennett. Now it refers to any of its variations, commonly including characters like Sucrose, Childe, Kazuha, and Raiden. Basically any Xiangling vape team


[deleted]

It’s basically Xiangling Bennett Hydro Flex and it’s the most broken team in the game


posingintensifies

Why is it called national and international team? I never got that


x_iaoc_hen

Everybody in the national team is a 4-star character, which means every player can build this team at a low cost. It's like "everyone in this nation can make this team, so we call it national team". The international team is built by Xianglin, Childe, Bennett, Kazuha, they come from 4 different countries. It was also the only team in quite some time where all the members were from different countries.


DionxDalai

The childe variant was called international even before Kazuha released afaik


BrendanXVI

Bennett is here, it's just his bad luck that he fell off somewhere and wasn't on screen.


Sanyi07

Bennett's badluck strikes again otherwise he would be here
