THEY GOT THE HARDEST MATCHUP POSSIBLE IN ROUND 1???!?!??!?!?!??!?!? AHHHH ITS SO OVER
debatable asf. Trace look incredible, TL looks pretty equal to Sen, I would favour sen > TL
If TL keep up their form Id give liquid a 40-60 compared to Sen
I give trace a 65-35 compared to sen
you are out of your mind if you think Trace are looking good enough to beat sen and liquid.
Yes, theyre more impressive than they actually are cause the teams they go against are garbage. Just watch them be a mediocre ass team in Bangkok.
Liquid and SEN on their stride look like absolute world beaters my guy, Trace on the other hand not so much
SEN are not the best second seed by any means
Trace > Sentinels > T1 > Team liquid
SEN beats TL, trace and T1 easily. im sorry to say. they have more star power potential with zekken, narrate and zellsis (it feels wrong to include zellsis here but he can carry so...)
trace is either underestimated or over glazed
nothing wrong with being the worst team at the most stacked event of all time
trace are not the worst teams, unless u consider EDG one of the worst first seeds
just not how it works,
EDG has nothing to prove in regionals, theyve won the biggest trophy in the game, they dont need to cross a mental barrier and win their first trophy like trace, vitality, liquid or g2 do
Trace overall played a much better game than EDG did throughout the entirety of kickoff. Trace was even favoured in the grandfinals playing a cleaner game, imo EDG really just had individuals turn up at the right moments to win that Grandfinal.
I will say, I favour EDG to win any grandfinal over trace as they have a dogshit map pool
EDG literally won champs because of their individuals, its like you trace glazers are finally realizing just how fraudulent EDG are.
And yes I do think EDG are the worst first seed and if it wasnt for DRX id even say theyre BY FAR the worst first seed. Theyre extremely inconsistent with their fragging and thats why they fail to ever do anything at internationals past the trash teams
EDG won champs because their individuals AND good macro, its impossible to fucking havw 100% winrate on 3 maps if you didnt have the best macro on them. it goes to show you didnt watch champs with ur eyes open or your brain working. If aim was all edg needed then they shouldve been more dominant on more maps. Also you havent been able to fluke a champions win with just mechanics since 2023 arguably even earlier, teams just arent that bad anymore. also also they failed to do anything at internationals before was due to having an different team
big shock, changing ur team, changes how good they are
i wouldnt say lightwork but yeah that is the only hope for DRX here. and that fact that DRX in groups is unstoppable.
People HARD Glaze Sen. They have Firepower, sure, but its Inconsistent most of the time and John on Initiator has had some bad calls, DRX Take it.
I'm sorry but SEN were 3 rounds away from winning against G2 with a massive veto disadvantage and playing LF & GF back to back. They def look the scariest from the #2's
G2 didn't look up to there usual par against SEN in that series. G2 when they are feeling it look like they have Radar of the enemy team, they would have slapped SEN.
they already did that on fracture and mostly haven, sen just had a way better showing it is not hard to admit that
shut up
it was sen making g2 uncomfortable, you have no understanding of the game
stop garnering hate towards g2
G2 looked completely the same as the entirety of kickoff during that grandfinals dont even try lie to yourself. Even in the upper finals when sen played like straight dogshit G2 managed to lose and were close to losing so many crucial rounds however they just won off fragging cause sen couldnt hit a single shot or play a single clutch scenario.
G2 are not that good but that doesnt mean SEN arent the best second seed, especially considering how fast they improve historically, i dont doubt theyd be able to get into form and wash all the teams in this tourney
Quite the hype matchup but also a very nerve-racking matchup for me. Out of the 2nd seeds we could have gotten, we get SEN... I would be fine with any other 2nd seed team that isn't SEN.
But I believe in DRX to prove everyone wrong.
Doesn't matter, they eventually gotta beat everyone to win the tourney anyways
