Madrid is Americas to lose

#1

Dokka

With loud and NRG/Sen

Facing off against
3 new hotshot unexpected teams
A weakened paper Rex
And a Chinese region that still doesn’t look caught up

No matter who wins next I’d say Americas are the heavy favorites

Gonna be interesting to see how these teams stack up

highkey KC is looking scary, bluds are on a 58-scrim win and haven't dropped a map in a month according to their coach. Just won all of EMEA too

If one thing I can say is that LOUD is really good against EMEA teams, Saadhak knows their play style and I bet they will adapt to play Masters as playing in Americas are a totally different thing (way more aggressive for example).

See this is the problem, KC is stomping EMEA cuz they don't play the typical EMEA style
Have you peeped their split? Yoru, Raze, Omen, Astra, Fade
Their playstyle is disruptive af

i have liked what i've seen from them a LOT but i'm also worried it's just a heater and the moment they drop a map/series then they immediately crash out.

as an example of what i mean, MxM looked unstoppable during the latter half of NA Challengers, then they lost 0-2 and 0-3 to crash out of the entire thing after going 2-0 2-0 in the bracket

Very valid and I’m having similar feelings

But what does give me hope is that they got absolutely destroyed by heretics and then they ran it back and won the whole thing

Everything I’ve seen from the players and coaching staff makes he believe it’s not gonna be the case

Navi were in a dog group so all of them besides Fut looked bad imo

Don't underestimate this next generation tho since they're shooters

no way loud look anti-stratable and TH are goats of it but prep time will be a issue but still you can't underrate KC and PRX and LOUD look weak on weird comps.
