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

I'll believe it when I see it

that's just the 2022 PRX Breeze comp but with Harbor instead of Astra

Leaf, iZu, runi, xeppa, Boostio

GenG might be the only team consistent enough to not give G2 a comeback

ok

G2 permabans Sunset tho

they just need a better structure & IGL, because individually they're all solid

jawgemo (duelist)
kiNgg (flex/IGL)
Less (sentinel)
mindfreak (controller)
nzr (initiator)

something
cryo
natank

also why is jonahp f0rsaken victor there, they're flexible players

Agh I forgot, VCT CN only allows 1 import instead of 2 like in LPL

go to TEC with Rb? JDG with stew?

nah he'd get benched like pancada for zellsis because they need flex player

mentally better than you since he's not flaming people for burnout

given his background from T3/T2 plus scrimming in EG reserve, he's only gonna get better since those first matches in Stage 1

one word: hopeful

their peaks are so high and they've shown it since The Guard in 2022, they were always Tier 1 and only got screwed by franchising, they picked up leaf who's such a consistent fragger, and valyn is now fragging as well

why anyone would doubt this team rn is ludicrous to me

he's always insane, just unlucky with not making to international LANs

Fnatic lost to NA in MSI, and they'll do it again in Masters

choke was spent on first map lmao

me, because plat chat curse

oh I'll be watching alright

even I wasn't expecting such a definitive win from G2. Depite KRU losing to G2 twice in Kickoff, they look legit this time. But somehow G2 ended up even more legit

in your heart of hearts, if you can choose who will go to Shanghai besides PRX & GenG, who would you pick

and who is in your top 5 Americas besides LEV & 100T

nah, leaf and valyn can shoot back, OXY's gonna need help
