tbh fnatic has gotten A LOT of lucky rounds. They should not be up this much with how badly they have played in a lot of these rounds.

i find it funny when he says something sen should do and they do it and he gets all excited and shit

At his peak, this guy is world-class. sensational

I think 1 of those matchups is an upset.

the momentum was ruined. if Gen.g lose I will feel sad for APAC fans.

I agree with what you are saying overall. I just dont like when people (not you specifically) are now saying that its a disadvantage being 1st seed and are using that as an excuse for the loss. It's an overall advantage with its Cons but so many people online act like the cons outweigh the positives.

I hope XLG play more random cause G2 does great against standard play. Just disrepect their setups and play more aggro like PRX and you got a chance.

posted 2 weeks ago

i hope the chinese teams beat G2 or any other EMEA/Pacific team cause the irony in this easy route would be hilarious. Do i think they lucked out sure but which teams in the swiss do we think would have most def beat sen? Only 1 team I could see us being under dogs and thats against Gen.G. Against PRX its 50-50. Think we would be favoured against TL, TH and MIBR.

i dont understand this. They would arguably get more time to adjust to the meta cause 1. they skip the world cup qualifers and 2. get more time to prepare while teams have to qualifiy to playoffs. Also the meta pretty much went back a meta which is more similar to what was happening before tejo. Using it as an exuse for a loss its pathetic imo.

Is getting warm a benefit sure, but do you think TL would have chosen 1st seed or playing through groups. I think a majority of teams would have prefered going directly into the playoffs.

I think riot should have everyone enter group stages, but give the first seed a 1-0 advantage, so that they can still warm up during the groups while having to win fewer games to qualify.

Link to FNS talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzHUFMOeM78

So, would you remove splits and just have qualification-style playoffs? Assuming we get 5 events, with eithe 3 weeks per event, and 3 weeks to qualify for each event. You’d have to remove splits to still get about 1.5 months off after the year ends for teams to reset.

My issue is, logistically, how would this even work? Riot in League uses splits, so with splits we probably can’t have many events unless it’s instant playoffs, double elimination qualifications straight to the tournament.

What does everyone else think?

Here is what a general timeline would look like. I sorta used a rough ball park, :
-Qualification: 3 weeks
-Setup & arrival before event: 1.5 weeks
-Event duration: 3 weeks
-Break after event: 1.5 weeks

-Number of events: 5

Calculate total weeks per event cycle
Total per event cycle:
3 + 1.5 + 3 + 1.5 = 9 weeks

For 5 events
5 × 9 weeks = 45 weeks total

Weeks in a year
52 weeks

Remaining weeks after events
52 - 45 = 7 weeks off after the last event

Do you think the advantage teams gain by winning master qualifications is balanced? They get put into the playoffs which seems like a crazy advantage at an international comp? Isnt that too OP? They also get to pick their opponents, yes even if Sen won I would think the same thing. EU teams who went to the world cup + late qualifications basically get screwed unless they insta qual for playoffs like FNATIC.

I feel that the teams that qualify first should start 1-0 and need to win one game to enter the playoffs, because not playing any games until the playoffs seems like a crazy advantage.

i have been a fan since the start of val. I got an account from 2020. Been a fan through that sacy and tenz season where they shit the bed too, when they had deph, when they had kanpeki. Been here through the best and worst times.

posted 3 weeks ago

is he an import, and does that mean sen cant have anymore imports in the future? Sorta just asking cause I am not sure how it works.

posted 1 month ago

yeh i think they need to start playing more aggressive on defence some rounds. They legit only make risky plays on Eco but that's easy to read.

posted 1 month ago

I obvs dont know as much as pro's but dont you guys feel that Sen tend to paly realy passive when they are up a lot. To me it seems like they play not to lose instead of playing to win (yes there is a difference and if you play sports you know what I mean). They play sorta scared instead of taking risks which essentially lets them walk onto site most rounds and play post plant.

I think they give too much respect when they are up a lot.

i think most people thought he was good but a downgrade from tenz which at the time was a fair comment. He is playing out of his mind though.

Hello, I dont watch EMEA games. I watch APAC and NA exclusively but I hear people say EMEA is bad to watch. Is it cause of production or are the teams bad or playing boring? I feel like fnatic and TH are good and vitality should be good too right so whats the actual issue people have with EMEA. Say what you want about NA but at least its entertaining and the productions pretty good IMO. APAC games are so crazy now that idk what teams good or bad half the time.

Side note - is emea good but people are over reacting like always?

posted 2 months ago

If they make a lower bracket run and look good I will be happy but I dont see them beating any good team when FNS is playing this bad. Idk they looked to ass lately for it to magically work but I'm probs wrong.

posted 2 months ago

I think if you were to give players a poll on which team (besides their own) that they would wanna play for, and we can do this specifically for America, Sentintels would win by a landslide. That is my Sen meat riding opinion but I think its true. If a player could build a team on any org, Sen would be the 1st choice for most IMO. The only place this is not true is for brazil probs unless sen went full Brazilian.

posted 2 months ago

Does anyone have any big upsets happening in the Americas. I feel like every playoffs, the favourites get bounced. G2 not making it would be top 3 biggest plot twists ever but I dont see it happening.

So besides them I think mibr losing to 100T is my crazy prediction, and they lose out in the lowers. I got C9, Sen and G2.

Though I think Mibr, G2 and Sen/C9 is the most likely scenario.

i am only curious to see if their perma ban maps are actually bad or if they are decent enough to float them. Not playing those maps either is some sorta smoking gun play or they just dont prac those maps which would be bad.

posted 2 months ago

i dont understand how people talk about their map pool like its some horrible thing, Not seeing them play a map does not mean they are bad at it. They played fracture once (in kick off against a hot G2) and never again (not looking at off season). They have never played ascent since kick off and ice box is a 50/50 for both.

If they are bad then sure but we simply do not know what they are like so making these assumptions makes no sense to me.

posted 2 months ago

saving strats for toronto. They will stop peaking individually when they get there im assuming....

posted 2 months ago

Also just cause C9 scrims every map does not mean they are good on every map. They are not that much better in the map pool imo, also they are historic chokers in the playoffs so i got no worries. Sen probs loses and goes on their trade mark lower bracket run.

posted 2 months ago

I only looked at the stage 1 maps not including kickoff.

Ice box: sen and c9 both got rolled that map. Its 50/50 and they each only played it once.
Fracture: sen has not played it and C9 only played one game. sorta 60/40 in favour of C9. dont know how sen would look
split: probs in sens favour 70/30.
pearl: probably 55/45 in favour of Sen cause of how good they look recently but i am okay saying 50/50 cause C9 are 3:1
Ascent: cloud 9 played it and sen has not so probs like 60/40 in favour of C9. maybe even 70/30 cause we arent sure how good sen is on that map.
Haven: probs one of sens best maps now and C9 look okay. 70/30 in favour of Sen
Lotus: both are sorta bad on lotus but I guess C9 looks slightly better but id say its marginal. So its probs a 50/50

Overall:
Sen: Split, Haven
cloud9: Fracture, Ascent
50/50: Pearl, Ice box. Lotus

Even if you give C9 Lotus its not like they are some god tier team on every map. I think this probs goes 3 maps. What are your guys opinion.

and they keeping bonkar in contract jail while saying verno should be happy they let him go. Shameless, hypocrites.

posted 2 months ago

This is by far the worst series ive seen. I think furia and 2g are bad but holy shit 100T are terrible. how has this team making playoffs. I think kru is playing average at best but thats all that required when you play 100T.

im going Cancun soon, i probs see 100T on the flight with me. Bum ass team

the sad thing is, individually they are good but I think certain people cant win together. Think they need to restart.

posted 2 months ago

probs the system. Bang looks a lot better leaving that team, think they need to let zander play a little more free. He is by far their most disciplined player; he should just send it at this point.

posted 2 months ago

Bro am i high or did they play this game so badly. They made so many dumb plays through this game. 2v1 they single peak shy, luckily they win but wtf is that play. At the end, they give 3, 1v1 fights. What is this team doing, where is their discipline.

posted 2 months ago

I just think bang and zekken killed everyone before he saw anyone.

This guy is low key sorta funny, fun seeing him on the sen stream ngl. His son is funny too exposing his dads odin gameplay

posted 2 months ago

I watched sen back in 2020 when they first started playing with zombs, Sinatra, shaz, dizzy (before dapr) and sick. Was there from the start of the whole thing. When the OG t1 and OG TSM was there too. Was a fun time tbh. I like what the orgs done overall, some things I disagree with but ROB as an owner is pretty great.

posted 2 months ago

when you watch his co streams you can tell he knows a lot, and does a good job breaking down rounds. Always thought he would do better as a coach versus a player but he isnt bad, he is just having a bad split.

posted 2 months ago

what if he has a verno arc and somehow goes demon mode on another team. It would be funny tbh. He becomes more vocal like verno on a new team and plays outta his mind like verno.

posted 2 months ago

tbh his analysis is actually pretty good, his trolling is ironic now that he is shitting the bed. I think he should transition to coaching after he retires tbh.

posted 2 months ago

I am assuming they dont make toronto, what changes do you think NRG actually make for stage 2.
I dont see them dropping FNS or s0m, made obvs stays. Ethan probs stays so I only see a brawk change.

I assume the coach is gone too tbh.

posted 2 months ago

So if 100T beat Kru and Sen beat 2G do they use map differential or head-to-head to determine first? How does the first place work for this group? Also besides the byes that 1st get, how are the matches actually made for playoffs?, are the standings used or do they do it randomly?

posted 2 months ago

Assuming FNS retires this year, his actual reason to stay on NRG is sorta gone. I think his contract ends this season too so could you see him moving on from NRG to Sentinels. Bang is obviously great but if you have an opportunity to get s0m you would get s0m.

I also think reduxx probably switches out with zellsis and you get a team of johnqt, zekken, narrate, s0m and Reduxx. But this is just a hypothetical scenario which i think has a decent likelihood of happening.

Before anyways calls me crazy, I called narrate on sentnels at the start of last year while he was on KC. I see visions, and s0m on sentinels makes the most sense for him as well. Streaming-wise and career wise, you would want to play for an org that will pay you the most and has the fans as well. Also even if reduxx does not swap with zellsis, its still a strong team. If he wants to compete, staying on NRG makes no sense. The only team he could join other than sent would be 100T if they move on from zander.

I am sad cause I want to say sen but I also don't wanna be delulu. Therefore, sen 2-0 unfortunately.
