in terms of being a dedicated anchor, I would say benjy is better though even if Alfa clears in every other way. I don't think there's any player that can delay a teams push better than Benjy. And I think that's what this team needs the most since it's already so stacked.

not that good is insane, he may not be playing as well as last split, but he's still easily a top sentinel itw

I just put Aspas + f0rsaken + Chronicle on the same team and went from there lol. Imo the firepower and flexibility those three provide together is unparalleled to any other trio.

I can see the point for d4v4i. Secondary calling is good and valuable, but I wouldn't say he frags way better. Also, D4v4i util is good, but Benjy is probably the best anchor in the world at his best compared to D4v4i at his best. D4v4i or Alfa would easily be my second pick.

benjy is more flexible on sentinel though as he's able to play cypher as well. Plus he has better util usage.

all good lol

I might have fucked up if the TH fan doesn't agree with me lmao

I probably wasn't clear, but I agree. For this team in particular I don't think so. In 90 percent of teams, Meteor firepower is more valuable than Benjy's better util, but this team is already so stacked that this is one of the few cases where I would favor Benjy instead. Unless you mean Meteor has better util, which in that case, I would disagree.

i mentioned in the op that this was under the assumption that they had perfect synergy with each other

+hiro stand in

In terms of fire power yea. But hear me out, this team already has more than enough firepower and Benjy imo has the best util usage when it comes to Sentinel agents. I was thinking about the sentinel role for a while, and while I do think he gets cleared by some in that role mechanically I believe his util usage makes him a more valuable asset in this specific team overall.

Assuming they have perfect synergy and no language barrier
Duelist - Aspas
Flex #1 - F0rsaken
Flex #2 - Chronicle
Sentinel - Benjyfishy
IGL/Smokes - Valyn

Y'all think I cooked or nah

That's completely fair, I guess only time will tell. I hope NA does perform internationally (especially Lev). Hope you have a great time viewing this years Champs (already know DRX bout to pop tf off).

As you said, I would put G2 in the convo as well. As for lose, I would say like it would be a 70 / 30 favoring teams like G2, Fnatic, and Gen G. I do think they are favored, but I believe the games would still be close and potentially result in an upset which I think would be fun to watch. There would be way more close games than one sided beat downs if you put any of those teams that you listed against G2, Fnatic, and Gen G.

Really? All those teams you listed there, in my opinion, have a chance to win Champs. VIT as well. To me, half the teams look extremely competitive while the other half sorta kind of fall off.

Chronicle and Aspas are the only players who should be in the discussion for greatest of all time at the moment

Really? I think it's a lot stronger. I'm a lot more hype for this one than last year.

His lack of consistency is worse than other players for sure. Compare him on Lotus and Ascent last game for example. This has problem forever for some reason. Could be the shaky aim or nerves honestly not quite sure.

better kayo is insane. I agree he clears overall, but I don't even remember the last time vic played kayo.

holy shit I must be tripping balls. Yeah I mean ethan lmao.

even tho drx barely beat prx right now I feel like prx will rank higher in Champs. We will see with time tho.

I would say they have the same peak with Asuna being WAY more inconsistent. Vic is a better flex overall than Asuna.

Oh shit then yeah seeding has very little value. Facing PRX as a first seed is probably not what I would consider to be easy at all lol.

Yes

Whenever he plays iso teams should quake in their boots

Doesn't first seed get a bye or am i tripping

wouldn't say NRG's situation is much better

Maybe EG then?

Oh shit, my b I thought he was just someone temporarily subbed in for Leo while he was sick. Didn't know he was a 6th man

Imo it's between him and patitek, but what do yall think

Edit: didn't realize they weren't subs. Who is the best 6th man/sub/stand in of all time?

Yeah, I think this is the most likely option. C9 def want someone to replace Xeppaa and N4RRATE is prob the best option.

living up to your name king

Can I suck on your toes while I'm at it? 2 for 1 special just for you bby.

Prime Vic was one of the best flex itw. Hopefully another team picks him up in the future.

probably this -100T since they already have EEIU

What team do you think he joins and who do you think he replaces?

Rip PRX, but DRX is my second fav APAC team hopefully they do wonders in Champs

maybe jawg? But even then it's a big if since icy has already been performing so well already

icy does his role perfectly. There's nothing to change.

don't forget to mention Apoth and Boostio as well, back then they were shooting like their life depended on it

not even close is an overstatement and a half

yeah all g. People don't see that he's a big impact player-; they look at the stat sheet, and wonder why he's not putting up the same numbers as other top tier duelists and then proceed to call him useless when what he does for G2 is invaluable.

yeah, true but even back then I would say only c0m wasn't the best aimer, so I can't say everyone was shooting heads. Not to say c0m didn't do well, his util usage on sova was the best itw and he played a big part in their success. It's just that I wouldn't exactly classify him as a player who shot heads well.

he's their weakest link partly because of the way G2 use him. He's a system player and plays a valuable role in getting G2 space even if he's the sacrificial pawn. I respect tf out of icy and he's a good player it's just that G2's other players play even better so it's hard to not to dictate him as the "weakest link". Not even hating brother chill tf out.

No one on the team needs to leave yet imo, especially not something lol

what classifies an aimer lol

Everyone on G2 can shoot well. Even their weakest link icy.

I wish Valyn would touch me in my sleep the way he touched Lev when they played

Unironically Jingg/Mindfreak is the weakest link right now. But they should wait for next split before making any changes imo.

h2h

really? I thought you would say Asuna. I feel like jawg could learn initiator and play raze on the maps asuna plays raze.

aint nothing wrong with that c0m's sova was a big reason why EG won Champs

Hi, I feel like someone from 100T will be replaced. If you had to replace someone on this team who would it be?
