Kangkang lowflowstatekirkenuinely goes +18 but it's not enough to drag edg to a win 😔🥀
MASTERS 1/2 AND CHAMPS WINNER 2-0 EDWARD IS NOT GAMING WITH KINGK0NG AND TCHOUCHOU
this will be battle between kk and marteen
Gentle Mates 2-1 EDG ( although edg has the experience the but m8's form and firepower is superior at the moment this game could only go wring if m8 takes pressure as it often is factor of win or loss and edg looks shaky )
marteen terrorizes EDG, breaks their mental strength for the rest of the tournament
EDG bring out the harbor with CHICHOO running over them like a train. EDG 2-0 M8 (M8 still go 2-1 in swiss, while EDG double upset to go 2-0)

m8 2-0 squidward gaming
the moment Marteen falls off this M8 roster goes full on shit mode he's literally carrying them on his shoulder
Why are so many people sleeping on EDG? EDG should be the biggest dark horse here. Am I one of the few people that thinks that EDG will destroy M8?

don't think they would destroy, but edg has a good chance of winning against m8

beat my team with f0rsaken being the worst player on his team
Current record holder Marteen vs Former record holder kangkang. Banger match.
EDG 2 - 1 M8
JawXG [#3]Kangkang lowflowstatekirkenuinely goes +18 but it's not enough to drag edg to a win 😔🥀
that's bc cb goes +19 to drga edg to a win

minny will perform better now
Red2TPower [#34]Why are so many people sleeping on EDG? EDG should be the biggest dark horse here. Am I one of the few people that thinks that EDG will destroy M8?
prolly bc autama bin laden

why would m8 ban bind ?
Efa-_- [#58]why would m8 ban bind ?
Just guessing based off of what they'd ban against EDG. Maybe Corrode?
EDG 2-1 M8
loses first map close 11-13
wins the next 2 comfortably 13-7 13-8
CB MVP +21

😭
swEEsh2M [#68]Edg 2-1, are people forgetting they won a champs…
And yet they barely qualified, so did NRG... you need to stop living in the past and start seeing teams how they are looking in the present
Current kills record holder vs the former- but both teams tend to get carried through tough halfs
Gentle Mates reverse sweep of FNATIC was more impressive than all of EDG's performances to get to masters. EDG just hasn't looked as dominant in China and I doubt they beat M8's
Punish3rlp [#32]the moment Marteen falls off this M8 roster goes full on shit mode he's literally carrying them on his shoulder
Marteen was very good only after the 2 first match were he was not good and m8 still 2-0 both match.
teuzadur [#35]same for prx with forsaken btw
I don't doubt it I agree with you
faloxxl [#4]MASTERS 1/2 AND CHAMPS WINNER 2-0 EDWARD IS NOT GAMING WITH KINGK0NG AND TCHOUCHOU
tchouchou
how tf r u making slsnder names so effortlessly
Akhmyed [#66]not g2 vs prx as an opening match? hmmm chinese viewers time i guess
chinese views time except its 1:30 am
edggdhnbvnb [#89]chinese views time except its 1:30 am
not bad, just think why rito put this as an opening match
EDG looked quite bad qualifying while M8 actually looked like they could have been first seed
I did not realise we're nearing the first match already this fast, looking forward to this masters coz the team lineup are pre cool for this one
This is a 50/50 anything could happen.
Could be a stomp in either direction.
I feel like there is a chance that m8 doesn’t win a map this tournament.

Nah i think M8 will ban breeze and corrode. and edg will ban split and bind. abyss map3 but its gonna be 2/0.

I like your take. We'll see which is which. 🤝🏾
Philip_saja [#76]love kangkang but edg will lose coz coach autumn is a spy
U guys do dirty to autumn 😭 😂

Yo bro are you kidding me? KangKang dropped 111 kills in a champs gf while m0rt00n has been farming 0m00

You may not realize it, but the only reason M8 is here is because of Marteen. However, you cant win in this tournament with individual performances. All the teams are top tier. Even though EDG isnt in their prime, I think it will be a close match. It will go to the 3rd map.

EG literally won Champions because Demon1 was lifegaming, wdym you cant win with individual performances there?

Yeah the new schedule is rly nice for viewers
Might be not so good for players but idk
2NaCl [#148]Yeah the new schedule is rly nice for viewers

Yeah but I was more referring to the team lineup. So many new faces on the international stage it's gonna be cinema
Daymmmm I'm gonna miss this banger bc I'm working ! I pray for an M8 Masterclass !
M8 2-1 EDG or 2-0 maybe (so amazing)
Honestly... even though marteen is awesome, I doubt they win this and the betting rates are crazy. I think it will be EMEA's worst year and I think it could be Americas best year... they have so many strong teams.
But we will see...
I think this could be a 2:1 for EDG.
*Edit: Okay, I was absolutely wrong. GGs

Going 3 maps imo, I feel m8 have a bit better form and close out 2-1. EDG at these odds isnt a horrible bet tho

kk and smoggy are gonna wake up and put m8 in their place
It is rare to see a new team at Masters do well especially against international trophy holders, but man m8 firepower was out of the world during kickoff. If they adapt to the atmosphere quick, I think they have a very high chance of winning against EDG.
rg999l [#101]Nah i think M8 will ban breeze and corrode. and edg will ban split and bind. abyss map3 but its gonna be 2/0.
Okay you were right. Well played.
SudokuDude [#166]Okay you were right. Well played.
don’t worry you are the goat of that but i’m m8 fan. i think the team philosophy is to ban breeze first even if the other team don’t play it.
rg999l [#169]don’t worry you are the goat of that but i’m m8 fan. i think the team philosophy is to ban breeze first even if the other team don’t play it.
you're more goated. I forgot EDG isn't too scared of Abyss. Only thing I'm happy about is that M8's and BBL are the only teams not scared of playing Pearl. Well, TL too lowkey.
beaturnuts [#172]who tf is m8 did they fluke their way here
Put some respect on Champions winner starxo
Kangkang can go sit down and focus on shooting for next map. All that standing up choked his oxygen intake leading to his brain damage actions on the last rounds of map 1
kekW_gaming [#187]Kangkang can go sit down and focus on shooting for next map. All that standing up choked his oxygen intake leading to his brain damage actions on the last rounds of map 1
I know what you mean, but I like when players are respectful towards each other but can still hype up the people and their team. His performance was great this match... not his fault, tbh. And he had only good words to say about marteen f.e.
Dunno... I like KangKang. He is a legend. But marteens clutch was crazy against Kangkangs Tour de Force.
kekW_gaming [#187]Kangkang can go sit down and focus on shooting for next map. All that standing up choked his oxygen intake leading to his brain damage actions on the last rounds of map 1
He's just hyping you imbecile
hinahinaa [#188]fluke champs winners btw
They had s1mon, no s1mon no win fir edg, well deserved
yes kangkang bomb is planted it’s 1v1 all you have to do is hide and play on time, really high china iq to literally slide in this situation and fight hahaha
Meiii [#192]He's just hyping you imbecile
and just completely blanked out on the last rounds. all the overhype did nothing in the end
J_Hehe [#147]lol that's the whole world, some countries just hide it better
At least there aren't 1.2 cameras for 1 citizen
your team is on a 3v5 2v5 but it's against EDG so it's EZ win. China bots speed running in going home again KEKW All that standing up as practice for their Airport queues, B01 way flights KEKW
not even close,smoggy and nobody are too weak now.chichoo is rotate and clutch for whole game because teammate die so fast
sayjin [#197]yes kangkang bomb is planted it’s 1v1 all you have to do is hide and play on time, really high china iq to literally slide in this situation and fight hahaha
Duelist ego
EDG is just too bad.It's quite obvious that this comp doesn't suit them on Pearl, but they just won't change it.
would've been 2-0 for EDG if they didn't lose every 5v3, insane how they lost every advantage they had
yooh0uu [#222]NAH dont send anyone promising there
Fr bro anyone that goes to Secret is gonna have their talent wasted
Sho191 [#160]kk and smoggy are gonna wake up and put m8 in their place
seems like they didn't wake up at all 😂 ! M8win
Autumn did u even taught them basics?? They repeated all that mistakes which they did in 2025... Radiant lobbies have more brain ngl
KangKangGlazer [#227]Autumn did u even taught them basics?? They repeated all that mistakes which they did in 2025... Radiant lobbies have more brain ngl
