No but like, for real, what do you see in them? first of all, it's a full Turkish team, it never worked internationally, they have literally 0 experience, they beat a FNATIC that hasn't adapted to the meta and beat M8 that also has no experience and was terribe last year.
I don't understand the hype.
"terrible last year" bro we changed whole coaching staff and 4 players ???? but ur right BBL is mad overrated
They lowkey did. Ethan and s0m were veterans and mada/brawk were teammates in T2 for a long time.
Aside from Marteen, not a lot of solid t1 experience and none played with each other prior to my knowledge. Btw what I mean by solid is success in t1
Starxo 3rd year in T1, marteen as well, minny second like there are 2 rookies and they look pretty confident, when NRG won champs they were looking really mid before it and they got 3 rookies, s0m with only failures at internationals and ethan really bad year in 2024, + except TL, G2, PRX, T1 and EDG nobody got experience, 7/12 teams are pretty new to internationals, shouldn't be an excuse + they have all beaten their experienced regional team
"it never worked internationally"
Doesnt mean it'll stay the same + They looked resilient with the comebacks they had
i agree on international suffer part they play on emea but not other region so it would be hard to adapt against cn apac or americas
But for once a team of clear good turkish talent has been brought up witba dedicated IGL who can shoot back which turkey lacks. It's just a phenomenal team. This is turkeys version of nv
M8 is not terrible anymore
Fnatic is always above avarage
Even s0m said they played about 100 times with your team and BBL was smashing them on praccs (and many other champs paris team too so they improved)
They have mega ego and it's working with them
why do people bring up last year to a competely differetn roster????? where they kept their best player
I've never been a BBL fan but you have to be downright dumb if you don't see the game they're able to put.
they will make a deep run
they went from premier to fuckin masters bro
This roster has been together for long time already. In tier 2, but the best in there and no doubt scrimmed VCT teams for whole time. Its not like its just new team even if they don't have tier 1 official experience. Also M8 are not bad and insane to compare last years to current on. They adapted to the meta and have players who can play it and who can also frag individually. Fnatic also looked better each game so calling them weak is kinda crazy as well. This current meta just fits BBL well and isn't as tied to experience like we've seen with all of the 1st seeds pretty much.
