So.... you just said that America is 2 team region?

Probably 45-50%

Close game vs DRX, choke again

Back to back vs Gen.G & PRX who destroy MIBR & TH
Could be 4th or 5th best team in Pacific

PRX vs BLG: PRX win easy
PRX vs TL/MIBR: PRX aim diffing MIBR as a whole team. TL withiut MIBR doesn't stand a chance, with Nats probably set more tricky trap but PRX still win

Gen.G pick Ascent, it has more chance to win rather than Sunset

Good part of this match:
1 pacific will qualify
Better meet here rather than in 1-1 (although both are better than BLG)
Whoever lose, no rematch against previous opponent (TH for PRX and MIBR for Gen.G)

Sen has the easiest path to playoff, literally free win

All 3 pacific teams are probably in top 6 below Fnatic and G2 and on par with Sen

Because america think anything outside NA are alien countries

map 1: TH shit
map 2: PRX good (throw 3 rounds, but okay)

But PRX perma ban is Haven, just forget that map and pick Ascent

Mindfreak is also lurking but his main goal is giving info from enemy rear because he play more safe rather than get 1 timing kill like patmen

"on paper"

TL lose to BLG, if TL vs TH, it's gg, no Nats in Toronto
TH is kinda surprising, the W gaming of EMEA lose to W gaming of APAC 13-1 start in defender side with defender agent comp

APAC is more balance while America and EMEA only have Fnatic, G2, and SEN

CGRS is ex proplayer from CS, his team vs Boom (F0rsaken as a child, Mindfreak as emo teenager, and 6Finger the current Boom coach was the IGL)

1 America have the best team in the world (G2)
2 Pacific have the hardest competition with so many A tier to B tied teams but no S tier team
3 EMEA have Fnatic (yeah, that's it)
4 China have EDG (but fail to qualify)

Something is russian

"Thought you guys were gonna win the event?"

How tf did you think they are gonna win? All Grandfinal 100% lose rate

Pathetic people always search any scapegoat

Better than Heretic?

Well, Heretic is trophy courier

Most people from asia are already sleep, gonna will watch the vod later

Well, PRX have ez stage 2 group without Gen.G DRX RRQ

Best map for long range, good for jett & chamber OP
Worst map for one trick shot gun, also G2 strat to use stinger when force buy will fail

Their attackers side is amazing, probably one of the best Breeze attacker. But their defender..... simply awful

sometimes, historical achievement is obsolete, especially for 2+ years achievement

Outside Fnatic and Heretic, EMEA isn't that strong
America and Pacific have better mid tier teams

Initator: Tejo
Duelist: Raze, Jett, and Neon
Controller: Omen and Astra
Sentinel: Chamber

1. FMAB (best conclusion)
2. Fate/Zero (greek tragedy)
3. HunterxHunter (make sense power system)
4. Mushoku Tensei (i love both light novel and anime)
5. Frieren (Heal my mind)

A fragging proper IGL, he should be one of the best IGL

Aspas > Karon = Verno = T3xture > Foxy9 = Munckin > Cortezia = Xenom > Ash = Artzin

better than a team who cant even win a match at all

PRX vs 100T Icebox, they throw 2-3 post plants, they should've won

Sen vs Liquid in Bind

Mushoku Mc only gooner for his wives, it is normal to glance another woman, but just a glance, not crossing the line

we are talking about individual skill, even if RRQ lose but he carry the team, Jemkin is still Jemkin

good for RRQ that they also have #1 Sova in Pacific (Kushy)

better than estrella as igl and comms

Aimwise, i would say top 5 duelist (not sure to put him in 1st or 5th but definitely top 5)
What makes him that good is his gameplay is more calm and not over aggresive like Something

Already 5G, sorry 2G

If the schedule stick like regular Americas matches, Asia viewers are better sleep that watch

BLG might have an upset in Swiss stage, but playoff? no no no

Current Toronto schedule start at:
11pm SEA
12pm CN
1am JP/KR
Most people in Asia will skip match 2

If Toronto play 3 hours later than current schedule (adjusted for Toronto and east part of US)
2am SEA
3am CN
4am JP/KR
Most people from JP/KR will skip match 1 in weekend and didn't watch live at all in weekday (work and school). SEA and CN will skip the live and go to sleep

Don't forget that viewership is important, especially for international event where countries with large populations (Indonesia, China, Japan, and India) need to be prioritized without sacrificing the host country. Champion Paris would be the same as Toronto

TH vs PRX absolute chokers
PRX lose to thrifty and half buy
TH lose 4vs2 and 3vs5

We are talking about Liquid at Toronto
But alright, let's use your game once: T1 > TS

Farming money more than tier 2

All GC are boring

If you compare them to G2 TH Fnatic Sen and probably trio APAC, MIBR is a bit below them but still far superior than chinese team + TL without Nats
Either PRX or MIBR will be eliminated in swiss stage. Gen.G Sen and Heretic look solid
I want to say that PRX is better than MIBR but we dont know if Patmen finish his Visa and how many days for them to scrim with him again
