Fearless Covenant is such a intense name lol

fair lol

is it just me or are the turkish teams just cycling players?

damn calypso carried NA

Nah it was a warm up map for DRX BuZz (syfi)

Roster should def make it deep into ascension. They have good players but winning ascension is going to be tough. I do like the Hazed pickup tho cause he is a great igl.

LFT clan is eternal. G2 simply loaned Oxy from LFT clan

Parla is impressing me more and more

Damn the full squad couldnt show up. FInals week man :(

Much needed change to add some diversity. I'm not a fan of completely nerfing chamber till hes out of the meta but allowing other sentinels a chance is very good for the game

I don think its going to be the end for him. He did play flex pretty well before he took the chamber.

Banger match. Its going to be weird knowing one of these teams will go to lowers so early :(

hopefully he will prove himself cause EMEA has a lot of upcoming talent

This roster change will fix their igl issue fs. I am very interested in the role distribution for this team.

Banger match

Complexity might win this but I’m rooting for my IMT queens

gg lower bracket we go

lessgo IMT

Despite it being a repeat of Iceland, these two are def the best looking teams so very excited to watch

yes I agree that he must be held to those standards since he is a pro. I feel tho there is an obvious trend where the igl bottom frags. I think he gets kills but i agree that he often leaves the team in a 4v5 scenario. Maybe im delusional in approaching this game through old lens where i should be saying that the better team will be the one with their support line stepping up. If so, my bad but I thought Ange1 did some great work leading the team.

While I agree ange1 underperformed this game, sayinng he should be removed is disrespectful to the whole team. They (and the org) chose to keep him because he provides so much value than just kills. He is a great igl that is forward thinking and always innovating the game. I thought FPX had a great year and there is always room for improvement. Besides if there are people who have the right to take banter personally its really the pros

FPX 2-1. They made a lower bracket run before

This is the meme of the tournament lmaooo

Huge W for the scene. Right now this looks better than the Overwatch league and League of Legends. Based on viewership this year, it is Riot's best interest to not screw this up lol

Aside from XSET making great results at champs, I think people underate Dephh as an igl. Just from prior interviews he comes off as a guy who is really passionate and constantly thinks about the game in new ways. He is also a good fragger and doesnt give me the cringe streamer NA pro vibe.

2-1 DRX. They are in great form but it all comes down to if they can still ride on the momentum and hype.

unforunate end for TL but they had some great wins against Edward and PRX so they earned the top 8 finish. They are still one of the top teams of EMEA so they def should be proud of this year.

I’m not a huge fan of FPX but I love it when a support player like suygetsu pops off in high stake games like this

EMEA with their VRL will def cultivate better talent than NA. While the NA scene have their NSG lans and small tourneys the quality of teams there are mostly pug teams with a degree of tier 2 signed teams. Despite Riot announcing how tier 2 is going to work in all the regions i still like the organization and system presented by VRL.

i wouldnt be suprised that TL makes a sizable lower bracket run

Insane firepower on both sides hopefully this goes to 3 maps!

Both teams have cracked players but I feel like EDG are more in form and are all mechanically cracked at the game. The only players that seem to step for TL has been Jamppi and scream so I really hope the rest of the team really shows up cause we have seen how good they are when they hit their shots. 2-1 EDG cause I know they are really confident and hungry to prove themselves on the world stage.

shame Zellsis cant stay in SEN but I can see V1 attending 3rd party tournaments rather than SEN so zellsis will def look fresh and ready for franchised teams

And it was a2guapo out of all people lol

didnt team flor win map 1?

o7

fair point but isnt Bleed in APAC tho?

Riot please do something about Tier 2 val. The orgs need it. The players need it. THE COMMUNITY NEEDS IT.

Come on jc i believe

ban icebox FPX just ban it. I dont care if you have a game plan you dont want them to have map 1

Possibly another FPX vs Fnatic series....

wp Kru yet again another reminder on how good this team really is.

i want IMT to qualify but this is not ok

C9 will prob win this but I believe IMT could potentially put up a decent showing. Lower bracket run we go smodge

Exactly what I want to see

2-1 Lum. This should be a fun series as both teams have similar map pools. I think this comes down to bdog challenging dicey. I know Bdog has the skill to disrupt Dicey's consistent awping and mada has that star potential to smeag back on Babybay. Playstyle wise, Faze is more characteristic than Luminosity so I'm hoping for something extra from them to move from being a good team to a great team. I'm really excited for a possible rematch on fracture and I think a great showing will do them wonders for these players to be picked up by a new org!

Reading her twit longer, its respectable. This is a mutual parting of ways rather than an org cutting a player. I've heard she joined the content creation for C9 so hopefully that works out for her. Excited to see what this new C9 can do.

2-1 Ghost.

2-1 100T. Map pool wise both teams are really solid. Both teams have established roles and meta comps that work. The only variables that should be the difference maker are the strats. While I think babybay and Dicey are a nasty duo and I think they have a solid support line to enable that duo, the coaching staff from 100T and the igling from Stellar should come up with an anti-strat to punish Faze's retake style on defense or the deny any early picks on attack. I think this is going to be banger match of two orgs with relatively new rosters making a big statements in playoffs.

oh my bad lol my brain wasn't working
