80% right pred by Ai is actually so damn good

I saw and I remember his masters Reykjavik 2022 form which was insane, but from what I have seen of Karon I feel like he has a higher skill ceiling than Mako

Even though Mako has been the most consistent controller itw for a long time, I think it's safe to say now that Karon has surpassed him (at least he is far better right now)

Geng believer here :)
(though I think Loud will bounce back)

🏎️🏎️🏎️

KC also have an old goat (engh)

Watch KC marteen destroy your favorite team...

100t flair 🤣🤣🤣

Sry I couldn't restrain myself

Most polite, humble and friendliest user of this site for sure

Have a nice break and keep focus on yourself

XD

Yeah I agree

In LoL Worlds they draw the matchups live

Swiss stage is honestly very interesting

Even though I would have preferred much more a double elim or if not possible a Bo5 semis, I think rn the qualified teams are also the strongest ones

I really want them to win Champs this year after last year's disaster

Unless you're referring to the 2 Chinese teams, every other team is more than worthy of their spot

That would be a banger

I'd prefer LOUD vs KC though (since we had SEN-PRX 2 times already in AVL during the OFF//SEASON)

Indeed but they are also the BEST TEAMS ITW, so the gameplay's quality is going to be very high

Too bad FNS is a streamer and not a pro player anymore.

Hope he finds a team next season though

Le couleur est BLEUUUUU

Even though I'm a FNC fan, I will support KC for Madrid, as they won fair & square

• GENG defeat DRX to become the new kings of Korea and PRX to end their dynasty in Pacific

• FNC's reign of terror in EMEA is no more. KC proved they can be defeated and that in dominant fashion, on their way of transformimg from "melons" to champions. TH did the same with the allegedly 2nd best Emea team, NAVI.
  That means the 2 worst teams of last year's regular season won against the 2 best teams of EMEA' s history

• SEN become the superstars of NA after winning against NRG and the best team in AMERICAS after defeating LOUD, thus qualifying for an international tournament after 2 years of struggling. TenZ regains his old form too, and that on a completely different role

• FUN FACT: Apart from CHINA, in every other region the KICK//OFF champion was a play-in team that took revenge against the team that sent them to play-in (SEN vs LOUD, KC vs TH, GENG vs PRX)

THE RIOT SCRIPTWRITERS ARE GOING CRAZYYYYY

Most clouted orgs (SEN - LOUD - KC and the most popular Chinese teams) participating, so viewership is gonna be insane. Also Spain has a very good timezone for almost all regions viewers

A team (TH) representing the host country (unlike last year's Masters Tokyo where ZETA didn't manage to qualify), so home crowd buff incoming

First event in years without FNC, DRX, NRG (as OPTIC core) and NAVI (as FPX core) participating

All 5 players of last year's Champions winning team EG didn't manage to qualify with their new teams

Very promising rookies emerging (Karon, marteen, N4RRATE, MiniBoo, JohnQT, Autumn), but also old legends returning (TenZ, Engh)

Are you excited for MASTERS MADRID?

They also lost to LOUD at Champs 22 twice, both Upper Finals and GF...

BRO HAD THE SCRIPT

They had to nerf him by moving him off duelist cuz he is way too strong 🥶🥶🥶

Vo0kashu MVP but FPX wins

It will be an entertaining match for sure

Just let Yay instalock Chamber every map

This would be the funniest shit ever

Jokes aside, even though I like underdogs winning, both FNC and NAVI look absolutely insane rn. But I could see a chance TH upset NAVI

TE look scary rn so I could see this happen, but EDG is always a very strong opponent

I honestly believe they rigged playoffs so the best 2 teams from each region were supposed to qual for Madrid:
Amer - LOUD & NRG
Emea - FNC & NAVI
Pac - PRX & DRX (didn't work out cuz GENG goated)
Cn - EDG & FPX
Do you think upsets will happen to other regions like what we saw in Pacific?

I personally think SEN, HERETICS and DRG have a measurable chance of upsetting their hypothetically better opponents.

He is cooking in TEC

DRX should have never let him go...

Loud vs nrg
El clásico

Humans

Aged like fine wine

Group A #2

yeah but with a totally diff roster

I would put G2 B-tier

val >>> cs in terms of brain
cs > val in terms of aim

Funny how the OP forgot about 100T

Tzatziki enjoyers 💪💪💪

Tzatziki >>>

Yaeh that was an ass decision

He was talking about FUR

I agree. The only other team I have hope on succeeding with rookies is KC

runneR and Kicks are probably the best young players they could possibly find

Very glad to see them dominating after they decided to take the risk and invest in new talents instead of recycling old ones

#EDGWIN

They will prob just buy another roster that doesn't make it in

Yeah WTF did he do

GE flair talking 🤣🤣🤣

VS EDG:
Haven 13-9 (Masters Tokyo) vs 13-5 (AfreecaTV)
Lotus 13-11 vs 13-3

Even though EDG are kinda burned out, Liquid's new roster seems clearly better than their old one

Boostio I guess?
