take a break for a day or two. Only play when u feel confident. If u are losing aim duels, play passively, prioritize util, and make sure that you are only taking duels that are advantageous for you; and prioritise your life. You are playing ranked, its okay to a bait and get trades.

if u forget the fragging capability i think finesse used to be really clever with viper usage apart from the obvious choices of nats less suygetsu and others

nothin fam. was up witchu sugar

yeah. i know. part of my job is to help them with social media toxicity so I lurk in the territory to know whats up with the scene.

31 ( serious answer) got into esports cus I had multiple clients who were esports players.

Solo obviously. He has already played big tournaments like masters reykavjik with nuturn and was decently good.

Probably the biggest gamble that could be taken is Skrossi for B1azeking. Nothing more than that.

GE dont need changes. Right now, their strongest point is their team chem. At maximum, maybe adding people to support staff could work. Like analyst or secondary coach

Aspas Less Sacy Pancada Saadhak.

They really should have won more trophies.

If my granny had wheels, she would have been a bike.

oh. love it how I got it right.

haha. lmao

c9 is a russian roulette basically.

It's simple really. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Tier 1 don't make as many mistake as tier 2. Also, in tier 2 u play against nismo vs aspas in tier 1.

Noooooooooooo

no one could have actually anticipated this. what is the devil is this witchcraft?

haha. thanks for that. Im an idiot for not thinking of it before. completely forgot u play the game in portuguese.

oh. im dumb. thanks for that. haha

I have seen lots of brazilian pros having their account name in riot official games as eu. What does it mean? any significance?

ex: less, cauanzin, saadhak ( I know he is from Argentina), aspas and someone from furia today don't know exactly who.

He's a shadow of what he was on Optic and goes missing in a lot of games; he has some really good rounds but very far and between. He plays well only in the games the team is winning. Generally, a filler player. You can replace him with any other t2 smokes and u wont notice much difference. Also, have considered that his performance on sentinels was not really good.

I actually thought this over for some good time, and I genuinely think I have a good answer.

MARVED.

even though his stats say otherwise for this event. But considering the team he has right now, they should easily be top 2 or 3. and he is probably the least valuable / easily replacable player for his team.

Mostly valid.

Don't like the ult changes or undercut. Even now the ult is usable under right circumstances. A better fix could be 100 v 150 hp. Agree with double tap and also the wall should be stoppable whenever.

bit basic. almond crunch with caramel

They couldn't play with the same team. Insider news from the team: the guy who carried them in open qualifiers couldn't play as he is not 16, and the pickups they did definitely were better, and some of the other existing players didn't want to play with the newer pick-ups, which ended up everyone from the first team leaving.

I agree that ge definitely lacks in firepower compared to other teams. I genuinely think only polvi has really top-tier aim following russ and lf, and benkai and blazeking definitely lack a bit in that department.
However, I don't agree that you need more than 2-3 absolute ballers on a team. Even with our current resources, this definitely is not the peak of this team.
Benkai makes some of it up by him helping out the team in other aspects. For blaze, I really am unsure on what to critic on.

Yes.
Also, if you watched the comms video, even when jitboys got the first kill, it took too long for polvi to call out that he is close, and by the time he called out it was too late.

Highly unlikely we get champs, but even if we have a solid year, we definitely have good opportunities to build on it in the next year as we wouldn't need full team to disband and can improve over time.

Also, I forgot to mention that rounds after timeouts have not looked good. Maybe the coaching instructions imbalanced them a bit, and/or there were no set calls or exec following timeouts.

dont care if he reads. tbh the post is only meant for people who can read and have an attention span of over 2 minutes even that might be an overkill for most, but all g

Even though we didnt qualify let's be real GE could've easily been 3-3 (more than ample opportunities to close out against talon) or even possibly 4-2 as we could've won against zeta too (considering the laz 4k turned out to be the swing round which crushed the attacking half completely and we easily would be 8-2 up with eco round and GE having 3 to 6 big ults on the following buy round). We have been completely shat on only two games vs PRX and DRX.

Good Things:
1.We are good on comms and team chem. Sometimes we do go overboard, but overall good.

2. Benkai switch to secondary caller looking good.
3. LF and Russ have looked the most stable over the course.
4. Pistol rounds and Anti-eco have looked really good. (We lost one on Icebox, but won the next round against RRQ)
5. Icebox looks pretty solid.
6. Polvi finding form on rifle.

Bad Things:

1. Weak in fundamentals. We don't check corners :( Lost two big rounds against talon and zeta due to that.
2. Weak Map pool. opponent pick and third map seems to be a big problem. Also lost 2-0 both times when opponent banned icebox.
3. Polvi OP crunching has not looked as good as it should. Lost of misses even when there was good opportunities given and other times had to take too much risk to find impact. Scaling when polvi has op has looked shaky on attack side, with inefficient trading.
4. It definitely looked like nerves played a big part in lot of the results.

Genuine Advice:
Expand Map Pool. Everyone knows by now that Icebox is perma-pick, and u look strong on it. Teams surely will start to ban it on Split 2. So, need to have a new perma pick and a better secondary pick.
We have horrendous buy round conversion considering we have highest pistol and anti-eco win rate.
Control pacing of the round better. We played to their style in both DRX and PRX games. (especially PRX)

Even though some might feel this team is a downgrade from last year, trust me, it isn't. Team chem will nearly always impact more than cracked individuals. Last year the language barrier and some other reasons impacted team chem. This year we definitely have 2 very good callers in benkai and russ, and team looks very well gelled. Hopefully, only better things to look for in split 2.

this kids insane. never expected team heretics had another fragger like him. jesus

Isnt that tweet from last year? I don't see how it makes any sense now in last 2 weeks.

why tf did I read these two texts in chambers voice. ahahahaha

nope. he was always a more solid player. rossi only looks good cus he played flashy and opd a lot. all his good games are on op.

quite possibly. They couldve put monyet on raze and texture on jett and lf on smokes

Even last year, LF was always the better pick. Rossi was being played only due to PR reasons

Only russ calling all by himself as much I could see. Nothing was announced officially.

Wow. Hope I am not gonna jinx it, but global looks so much better today.

I dont think they had a dedicated secondary before this or if it was indeed blazeking, it could be the reason why his performance was impacted so heavily.

They really should've done this much earlier. I am surprised that they weren't using benkai as a second caller from the beginning as it makes sense that benkai should be a signing for his calling rather than his mechanics.

.

hmmm. interesting take for sure. just let me say this for that event.
f0rsaken 0.98 rating on chamber and dive duelists
benkai 0.96 rating with igl.
So, definitely, he didn't get hard carried to the finals.

I was here when y0y became y1y

yeah. thats why i said unpopular xD. I know people wouldn't understand it, but people forgot they reached finals of a masters with benkai also. If they keep him and evolve with a bit more structure they win an event by now. they throw too many rounds to have consistent results in a b05.

unpopular opinion but PRX could have won a trophy with Benkai by now. Even though something is a much better player, his signing made sure that PRX will always lack structure and stability, and they keep throwing rounds because of it.
