most teams will be overhauling their rosters. its really hard to tell right now
I wouldn't rate Vitality so high, so far they've been very underwhelming as a team. Sure they are decent individuals, but they are just not cohesing with each other at all.
their biggest accomplishment was beating Acend and knocking them out of masters 2 lmao, which i think was anti stratting idk can't remember
Yeah and then they lost to Megastitut in French Open, which I thought for Vitality shouldn't have been much of a challenge. They do have their moments of brilliance, but are hella incosistent imo
well, french open tour is really something else.
I mean they all know each others for years, ( for the top teams ) and can be counterstrat more easily.
That's pretty much why a team like BDS or vitality can be totally upset by "noname" in france, but would perform better on european stage.
you can not have an idea that easily when you talk about emea srs, there are so many cis&tr teams looking good and new eu rosters too .. so many people on this site mostly talks too early, my korean boys one of the best and latest example of that it's wrong ..
If I hadn't seen pAura's self-confidence and determination to be an igl, I would agree with you. I think pAura learnt European game style and tactics, making Blaze different from perfect aim 0 brain Turkish teams, while playing with lowel. pAura said that he is aware of the situation that Turks are playing to win instead of trying tactics in trainings. Even this is proof that he won't be like other Turkish igls. I'm not sure if they can participate in the main tournament, but I'm sure they will be better than the Turkish teams so far.
yeah, paura is clearly the difference with all the other turkish teams, hope they do good but they'll have to prove it
Liquid (with Nivera and ScreaM back to Reyna) , FPX , Guild
Chances - Acend , G2 (new roster) , Fnatic
Nivera will not join TL, according to Sliggy it was just a backup plan if Jamppi had switched back to CS which he didn't do.
Exactly they should get rid of kryptix and maybe soulcas. But even worse are their agent picks (brim,omen etc) and monotonous strats
I actually think the play is to make L1NK learn Astra, and if things don't work out in Berlin then start considering changes. However this is just my opinion, and I also understand people wanting to see changes now rather than later.
IMO
EMEA QUALS:
Fnatic ++++
G2/FPX +++
Acend/Gambit ++
SupMass Blaze (New Turkish team) or Liquid (if Nivera joins) +
i feel like on a good day they are the best team in the world but they just don't have those anymore
nobody can play Jett in FPX and even though all of them are pretty good they don't have someone with real carry potential. Just having the strats is not enough rn
