fair, he's brought enough upheaval and controversy to the team

shit, you might be onto smth

watching LOUD these days just makes me sad

yes, especially when she spends time doing that while missing the actual moment worth hyping

G2 ran a similar no-sentinel comp, thats not the problem

aspas
sacy
saadhak
less
pancada

coach: bzka

f0rsaken duelist
d4v4i initiator
patmen flex
jingg senti/2nd duelist
something smokes

mindfreak to coaching/motivator

"But these guys always had the best possible teams and players"

yeah because top players will flock to good IGLs

how about no, I'm stressing out just watching

not saying everyone else is wrong, but Riot has a habit of suddenly changing Ascension rules so...

T1 beat EDG and Vitality with this, y'know

forgot where I heard this from (PlatChat?) but supposedly G2 branched to NA for money: the advertising market there is insane compared to EU, more potential for sponsorships

last year scan initiators were done by Sacy & flashes were done by Zellsis

this year the former's split between johnqt & n4rrate, and the latter's split between Zellsis & n4rrate

you wanna blame role issues, that's what I see right there

should've kept pre-franchising Challengers, but Riot scrapped it for this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

no. some of the colors look really off from the actual teams

i know teams should pick him up on flex roles but tbh i miss his Raze the most

👍

he's gonna get EG out of franchising... from the inside

if you look at their match history, you'll see they played in promotions for Challengers DACH this year, and lost to a team that eventually qualified

what does that say about their skill level? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

aren't the brazillians on bluesky and not threads

wow just saw it from your flair, it SUCKS

i was fine with Challengers playoffs in a mall, there's a certain charm to it, but we can't have that for internationals 😭

ojo Taman Anggrek oi, malu2in negara aja. btw kenapa link nya sama semua

guy with EU org flair trashes EU, lmao

You're not a G2 fan, real G2 fans always worry about our boys choking

icy & G2's system around him has to be studied for future generations

a duelist who goes to internationals while botfragging

check boostio's twitter

LOUD situation was partly because of the org tho, 100T doesn't seem to have that problem rn

i miss him on duelist so much

putting him on flex was a loss for EMEA

come watch LoL, Worlds is on october

is this the source??? https://x.com/iZuvlrt/status/1811241488992596089

but saya's gonna be 26, might be time for military service

especially since the org is hot potato now. demon1 & boostio thanked the gods for being able to leave EG

no, apparently Stage 2 uses head-to-head instead of map diff like in Stage 1

so if 100T & EG are 5-5 in series wins, 100T gets placed higher because they won their head-to-head match vs EG today

no, but maybe he's not the solution either?

I know Victor would fit icy's current role in G2 like a glove

2024 is 51.75% complete. [176 days remaining]

i just hope they don't collapse like in Stage 1 playoffs

new assistant coach, now new performance coach

seems alecks is finally satisfied (as he could be) with the roster that PRX is getting more staff instead

no idea, ban was playing Cypher on Sunset before

maybe there's a reason, maybe it's just vibes

tuyz can, but i think it's been decided that he'll play more supportive roles?

besides, saadhak used to play Raze alongside aspas' Jett, he can play the role decently

other duelist IGLs I know are Abo in TEC and Juliano in 2022 G2 Gozen

teams that made changes coming into Stage 2, have shown potential, but need more time and can only realize it next year

Americas:
LOUD (pancada is back, saadhak duelist)
NRG (FNS is back)

EMEA:
-

Pacific:
DRX (Mako new IGL)
GE (benkai helping with calling)
T1 (stax)

CN:
JDG (new coach Anaks, ex-DRX Prospects)
Wolves (new IGL SiuFatBB, ex-NIP)

what do you guys think?

nothing certain is this world except death, taxes, and G2 choking

so no

Karon

I'd put MaKo and Valyn as well if accounting for them IGLing

League of Legends is still the most popular esport in KR

and from there the hype for KR Valorant got absorbed by the big orgs in franchising (DRX/VS, T1, GenG)

prolly just as a guest analyst, nothing biggie

for a team with a new IGL, the only loss being 11-13 and the wins being stomps are a great result

I had GenG vs G2 in Grand Finals

coaching staff diff, GenG put Meteor instead of t3xture on KJ and it worked out lmao

well the scrims are gonna be 6-man, but when they find the right mix of 5 players, someone's getting benched

he's also old enough that he has to start thinking about conscription
