Heretics is a long term thing.
Acend is crazy when Cned is popping off... but I feel like they need an all around team to beat a team like sentinels
G2 is too new to tell but they did beat fnatic.... but fnatic had literally nothing to anti strat on so I think it was a fluke and fnatic will come back stronger

Today I learned that 6 BO3s in 3 days are "literally nothing to anti strat on". Thanks for informing me.

Who cares if they were an open qualifier? They were all streamed.

teams will not use proper tier 1 strats in open qualifiers round of 256, 128, etc.

there is still something to learn/study, but much less

Even if you want to say they didnt show anything in the first 2 BO3s that still leaves 4 more that they played.

But Acend is not only cNed. I would say they are one of the EMEA teams with the best firepower overall

well we haven't seen enough of heretics in the games we saw they just played like a pug team. Felt like they didn't practice. G2 has one of those rosters that needs to click together to win even though I wouldn't bet on them they are pretty neat. Still not convinced by acend tho feel like it's all NBS the coacha nd Cned popping off TBH

g2 + acend qualify for berlin

heretics is possible, they always lose qual 1, but i dont think pati's playstyle will work for them

You cant compare G2 with TH in the same thread. G2 got the TH best players and TH got the G2 worst players. We have seen the difference in the first qualy with these rosters. Patitek is trolling with the first deads like always, Ardiis is not in form. Nukkye and Avova were the more consistent players of TH and they are showing now in G2.

G2 got AvovA from TH, wich is a huge improvement from Patitek since it's seems that pati cant work on fixing his own flaws (dying to much as a smoke player, taking first duels on rounds). AvovA is basically EU best smoker.
The keloqz-nukkye transfer and mixwell switch role looked risky af but will only improve over time. Mixwell's Viper looked amazing and mixwell still needs to learn a lot of KJ/Cypher set-ups (maybe Pyth could help him with that?). Mixwell is a reliability too, he's intelligent and talented. Also nukkye is a huge reliability on duelist role from G2, huge transfer as well. Keloqz is a young talented player and he is already showing huge potential. He still needs time within the team tho.
Then we got the koldamenta-ardiis switch on Sova wich might be controversial but I think G2 gained a lot obtaining a proper IGL, a thing that they lacked so much.

So G2 def. improved massively from last roster iteration.

Acend released his previous IGL, koldamenta, but bonecold is able to take that role and on the other hand they can bring even more firepower to their roster with the addition of zeek.
So huge improvement from Acend as well (#1 EU team for me right now).

Team Heretics on the other hand... they still need a lot of time to improve. Monster and alorante are talented but young to the competitive scene. They have huge potential tho. Lowel is a great IGL and a huge Sage but it seems he is not confident with any other agent in the game, wich is sad because his agent pool is minimal. Patitek is a good player but he has huge flaws as I said above. Ardiis is irregular af, he has flaws that need to be fixed as well.
So, in the short term, TH lost by a mile. We will see in the future tho. Maybe they can recover from this.
