Xi lai gaming somehow win
honestly i havent seen enough of Xi lai so maybe u are onto something lowkey
Imma just say that Furia grew that much in lots of pressure during vct, so i think they will do fine. Other than furia tho, i think there will be some promising games with BBL and NS if the players are primed up, idk about AG tho
NS isn’t winning a series unless they play a Chinese team
M8 out 0-2
TL is going to place the farthest out of all EMEA teams
if NS arent primed up, i think they will for sure struggle, but u cant really tell cause as we keep seeing every year, good teams lose their momentum playing against other regions. it happens often
edg and xlg both will make playoffs, and atleast one will be in finals weekend (like wolves)
The 3rd seeds are better than the 2nd and 1st seeds, and NRG is at the bottom of the 3rds
Ngl bro I actually respect tf out of TL coming into Santiago but G2 would slam the fuck out of them. Prx and T1 are the only teams in the group stage giving G2 any issues
G2 wins 80% of the time, I'm betting on the 20%. It's always weird at the start of the year as we've seen in Kickoff, wouldn't be a hot take otherwise innit.
hard to debate this, we know what 3rds so maybe their experience carries despite their bad days in kickoff. But i think a lot of 1st seeds and 2nds can lock in just how EG locked in before. its not that easy to guess how the roasters behave
ngl i was gonna give it to u but it seems somehow xlg is smurfing every china tourney and then place ~8th in international. its like a cursed team
TL actually makes it to playoffs. Miniboo's curse has been lifted from Neilzinho's terrorism.
also doing ts w half a star is fucked bro is waiting an hour between each opiinion
G2 is looking solid, i think they might just lift the curse. Idk about T1 tho, its weird
nah i just have a feeling
i think g2 will go out early making the path for nrg easier
honestly if G2 goes out early its gotta be a curse LOL. they seem on a good form this year but who knows how much this changes in Santiago. either way very interesting team lineups this year
"nongshim might be the favourites" - mini literally just then on stream.
and FNS said furia have no chance of qualifying XD. we cant take anyones word lowkey
the four first seeds, none of whom have even been to an international before this, will take the top four places (AG, NS, FUR, BBL). final will be between furia and BBL. furia will win.
Smoke will become a substitute for G2 when BabyBay dies of old age. Boaster twerks on his corpse and dies moments after. Babybay and Boaster are buried together forever, bringing a tragic close to their closeted romance.
for m8 to be top3, they will need to all put in greater effort, most games rarely more than 3 players were having good games in kickoff. it wont be easy for marteen to carry if the other teams are on prime forms
did they make any significant changes this year? they seem better ngl
3/4 teams? i think most 1st seed teams are more hungry than most of the 2nd and 3rd, so potentially they dont fall apart like that
they are hungry but I think they will come out cold bc no games played and they are relatively new rosters
TL gonna place 3rd
G2 wins final 3-1 against NS and BABYBAY is Masters Santiago MVP
nrg and g2 are getting grouped
prx crumbles badly somewhere in the tournament
one of the underdog 1st seeds makes final. another one makes lbf
xlg and t1 round out the top 4
