A logical(?) take from a neutral fan

Gotta say, SMB are the real deal. They got even stronger ever since they added Tanizhq as a coach.

However, i will say this:

SMB >>> TR, but EU > SMB.

Maybe this is some insane ass COPIUM as a G2 watcher, but seeing how SMB matched up against G2 and FPX, G2 looking shaky. ACEND will most likely demolish SMB, or have a close and fun game tho.

Also, congrats for the Turkish fans, but please calm down.

I wouldn't bet on Acend demolishing SMB that easy man. I'm thinking more of a close game that can go either way.

i'd say they are the second best team in emea, eu>tr by a mile in general but smb is above eu except acend of course

Over Gambit too? I would likely say 3rd for SMB, and Gambit second

That's possible, and they deserve it if so.

That said Gambit have my full support against Liquid, would be sad to see their Champions hopes go to the gutter

Honestly g2 just had an off day, I doubt they would let smb destroy them like this again. They also got destroyed by FPX in Challengers 1 and then beat them the next day, I think they just have to work on their mental

They just smacked G2. They looked sharp and I’m glad a TR team qualified for Berlin.

This is great for the scene.

lmfao when ever a team loses against SMB you guys go like no this team wasn't in their best form. they were shaky lol even tho just before this match 95% of the people were saying G2 win this ez 2-0. bruh chill the fuck down. SMB is by far the best team in EMEA. acend won't do shit . it'll be a close game but SMB is winning it and we'll see. plz don't say that acend was saving strat or was looking shaky after they lose to SMB. 2-1 to SMB and 3-2 to SMB in the final

Well, I'm not agree with you. They already matched with 2 strong EU team and won both of them. You're forgetting that SMB created 60 days ago. And they're still dominating EMEA. No one ever thinking that SMB coulda win G2, but they dominated entire game. Just check Turko's kills, he keep solved G2's play style. (Like counterwall, rotates etc.)

i dont count FPX as a strong team anymore, but you have a point. SMB are probably best or second best team in EMEA

Well, if they qualified to EMEA, you have to. I'm not saying that SMB is best team in global or EU, no one ever can say that. But SMB's all players had csgo experience. That's why Turko & Izzy is keep countered G2's attacks. Their retakes in Bind was awesome.

Turko was so crispy. I had never watched SMB before today and if they can consistently play as well as they did today, they could make some serious waves in Berlin.

aim-wise any t1 turkish team will perform at this level at any time but it doesn't mean anything if they out position you in t1 valorant scene you cant flick your way out all the time. strategy-wise this was a first for us smb read g2 like book tbh hope they can keep it up.

I'm expecting SMB to be deadly with berlin 0 ping, with the players they have if they don't forget about the tactical side of the game I think they can be contenders for #1 world even. (we can't forget they are a new team also)

People thinks SMB cant perform well at LAN for some reason. It feels werid because TR and CİS has the highest ping's in the whole EMEA. I hope we do well toght.
