All EMEA teams bring shame. That’s why you’re on your 3rd year without a trophy
G2 carries the stink of EMEA too — it’s why they choke so hard. Fan of the TGRD players, not the org.
They got wrecked by the schedule. They’re an anti-strat heavy team that had to go through lowers to qualify with barely a week to prep for London. They’ll look much better at Champs (if they qualify).
Yea, they were in lowers but they also only had to play bad/mid teams there and the prep time was not an issue for LEV, evidently.
That’s because LEV doesn’t try to directly counter their opponents. It’s not a back-and-forth conversation trading map control and pressure.
LEV just try to take control of the pace of the game from the start and lean more heavily on set plays than macro-level antistrat. It’s a stylistic difference where the former requires more prep time but the latter can be highly dependent on form.
Stylistic difference can be a factor, yes, but at the end of the day: If your style prevents you from winning, change your style. NRG won Champs, surely they can rely on their form. Nobody will remember that NRG or G2 lost London because of their style but because they didn't deserve the W.
imo
the ones that eliminated both NA teams and lost to themselves in EDG game
they had 0 match points against EDG and got 13-4'd in the decisive map
Their game against VIT was not close at all 7-13, 2-13
so if a team doesnt have match point its not a choke? Pearl was literally a choke.... no discussion about it at all, it should have been a 2-0 but they tossed
their lead on Pearl was a good first half 8-4 and then a 10-8 on second half, EDG even got to 12 first -> 12-10
you could make an argument if their game against VIT was close, but it wasnt
in a discussion about it being a throw you are using stats instead of actually watching the game how the fuck am i supposed to take you seriously? yea bud the stats also say profek played worse than chronicle on Lotus today but in reality that Chronicle map is literally the worst individual performance ive ever witnessed in an international tournament in my life, you need to use eye test sometimes
they wouldnt do what Vitality just did and that i can promise you.... its not just about Vitality losing, its how they lost
Nats and Liquid are literally the personification of whats wrong with EMEA.... teams that lifegame on home soil just to bring shame upon the region internationally
