mada is a system player and wouldnt be as good as other top duelists on a diff team
hot take envy will make 2 changes for stage two and somehow qualify for champs
- Asuna has more impact that Cryo on average.
- Artzin was the best player in MIBR
- Brawk should only odin when he's on scan initiator, not Vyse.
- Paincakes was the worst player on EG Academy
- ENVY would be top 5 teams if -P0ppin +Boaster
yes no no no no
it goes both ways, they tend to lose when he is bad and win when he is good.
artzin for most of 2025 was the worst player on mibr by a long shot. he improved a lot between this year and last
NRG were the best lotus team by a mile at the end of last year, and that was primarily off the back of his vyse and putting up carry performances nearly every game
the jakee in question:
his micromanagement style does not work for a team who plays best when they just run it down. fnatic have been a slow team since the inception of the roster and envy looked their worst when playing more tactically
- LEWN will do great even with the neon nerfs
- KC is underrated
- We go to Paris and Shanghai
Lewn does has tons of potential tbf, I just am tired of believing in kc just to dissapoint every time man
GE are fraudulent bums and will be worse than even CN, patmen might be the most overrated player of all time
-
100T would be a good representative for London if they make it
-
FNC benching Milan was somewhat justified
-
MIBR did not deserve to make Champions Paris. C9 deserved it more
-
Tex is the least of MIBR’s problems despite everyone scapegoating him
I find it funny people want to scapegoat him like they wouldn't have taken the offer themselves
Though I guess this also means he should have been aware people were going to flame him if something happened
He 100% was aware that'd he'd get flame. In a lot of the losing interviews, he's always like "I know you probably hate me" and stuff, it's honestly really sad to watch those interviews
I feel like some subregions go through this cycle of:
- guy gets picked up for looking good
- underpeforms or has difficulties
- players from this subregion are not picked up for a while
Rinse and repeat I think a lot of them are incredibly underrated
2nd take that kind of goes along with this is that it doesn't take as much as you'd think to be "tier 1 ready" franchising makes it seem far more exclusive than it actually is
And for a player take I think demon1 is underrated because coaches have some ego that prevents them from forcing him to play jett chamber astra only and fucking up/not planning their rosters accordingly (which I don't think is even that hard tbh)
Jampii will always be a choker and won’t ever win anything bigger than a regional
- Envy would be top 5 in the region if they stuck to their original playstyle and didnt play into the meta so much
-mibr should drop fr0d and statpas pick up smoke (primary duelist) and any other coach (idk coaches icl)
-C9 should drop everyone and just keep jackk note and oxy as a core (idk if this is a hot take)
zekken is really good at flex and i feel its kinda hard to find another as good player + smoke is uprising talent i feel recycling talent is a detriment to lots of teams (c9 cough)
zekken on flex is such a waste when he’s been better than aspas all year lmao
smoke fits a weak role on mibr as a sentinel which is already his best role
Leviatán wins playoffs and London = GG for Americas. No other team is touching them for a long time. Mark my words. 😈
A major part of the reason EMEA hasn't won a trophy in a long time is neglecting/refusing to pick up tier 2 talent in their OWN region. Idk if it's because of contracts or what? But there are many tier 2 players in emea that are better than current tier 1 players.
