I think C9
Sorry but this c9 teams not done anything internacional sure they are doing good but in tokyo is going to be a different ball game.
C9 are still in underdog mode
runi hasnt been tested as an IGL at the top level where everyone is studying their game
too early to compare we will see once they get International exp
I agree lets not make C9 a Guard 2.0 and overhype then too much without being tested in internacional territory.
ngl I expect nothing from DRX. The region has no competition compared to america and emea. While teams in these 2 regions get better and better with every match played, DRX are stuck at the same progress from lock in
drx always had "weak" competition but still performed well internationally
Never top 1, that's the problem. They need eu bootcamp and all the players need to q on Frankfurt servers to improve their mental. If they can handle pressure on Frankfurt servers then they would never tilt in a pro match.
How do u have more pressure in a ranked game with nothing to lose vs an international match where everything is at stake?
Frankfurt servers teach you how to never tilt. Toxicity and braindead players make your mental unbreakable.
Why would pros tilt over ranked games though? Don't they have more important stuff to worry about?
Tenz and Shahz tilted in EU ranked when they were in Berlin, EU ranked is a different beast
This is eu imm3+ frankfurt, they gonna listen to this on a daily basis.
DRX have a habit of choking at intl but have gotten better so Id take DRX but I think most likely it'd be close, could easily be choked though. DRXs to lose
Choke ?? DRX was top 3 in champion and semifinals in lock in they are doing good do not compared them this untested C9 team.
ive seen the same narrative pre-champs with other na team before drx slam those mfs 2-0 :D
That why i trust teams like NRG that already showed good results at lan are likely too do it again.
Pre franchising league DRX 2-1 C9 ( With role overlaps and yay washed)
This time the better version of c9 >>> Lock//in c9 can 2-0 DRX anyday
C9 is just hits diff against Vision Striker ( DRX )
depends on what roster drx fields. foxy9 has performed pretty well but we dont know how he would perform internationally
