Casters too are so biased against Bonkers.

HBD ciro

So do you make jokes for everyone to cry or what?

??

Your words "they seem so lost in comparison to the rest of NA" makes no sense here. They are not a team struggling for wins atm. They are losing to teams better than them. V1 and Optic are obviously top teams and losing to them wouldn't be considered a big deal for other teams. But when Sentinels loses to either of them they are called trash, Zombs, Tenz should retire, Sentinels are washed etc.

Yes they are not used to losing, but they aren't bad or lost atm.

OOF...

Congratulations, you made the 1000th thread about how and why Sentinels suck at the moment.

8/8

Ya I know. TBH, SEN shouldn't qualify. If they qualify and fail to win against a BR or SEA team its a big embarrassment for the NA scene as a whole. They can be s**t in NA but I definitely don't want them to lose to a BR team ever.

Genuine but unfortunate for SEN who will return better in stage 2. By that time they would've gotten a coach who will correct their mistakes and make a bit of changes in terms of roles.

I believe in SEN and FPX. Copium?

TGRD win 2-1 and SEN go to the lower bracket where they garner two wins until they finally face optic in the lower finals and go home.

Let's go! All we wanted is that Gambit somehow participate in the tourney. Hopefully they qualify after all they have been through!

My man Derke is the best LAN player in the world. he struggled a bit last year but ever since Braveaf was added he has eliminated that 1 weakness too.

Let's just pray that Gambit will be back once again. It's hard to imagine Iceland without them, but qualifying for Masters 2 or Champions isn't going to be much of an issue for such a high calibre team. Let's just hope Riot makes the right call on Gambit's situation and compensate them if they won't be able to play.

Kekw, I don't see G2 beating Liquid, Gambit and FPX anytime soon.
First of all even NAVI would seem tough for them. Group B and A are equally tough in terms of top teams.

Good luck buddy!

Fnatic have been an absolute beast of a team in the group stage and their biggest test comes in the form of Guild. A team that was mid-tier post Iceland actually did much better in Champs and now have become even better. The reason why they have improved so much is because of one roster change.

Fnatic replaced Doma with Braveaf this year and have been unstoppable smashing the likes of Acend and G2. Doma was a really great flex player, but the problem with Fnatic is that they never had a good Sova player. A good Sova compliments Jett plays which is why Derke is even more consistent nowadays. Boaster was a mid tier Sova, Mistic and Derke too sometimes played Sova for them but somehow it never worked for them. Braveaf has slotted into Sova really well and brings a huge improvement in terms of firepower. This allows Boaster to be their flex player and that has improved his overall performance in terms of fragging. The flex role suits Boaster very well as he can IGL much better. The biggest problem of playing Sova while being an IGL is that you are the primary info gathering agent. That means you have to relay info and also make calls at the same time. Mistic now plays primary smoker for the team and that has hugely impacted his fragging too. Overall Fnatic seems to be in a much better position due to the role swaps they have done and I expect them to make it to Iceland and redeem themselves for last year's failure against Sentinels.

NA - I think C9 and V1 will qualify as per current form.(Although I want SEN to qualify instead)
EMEA- FPX, Gambit, Guild/Fnatic
KR - DRX
JP - ZETA
SEA - XERXIA, PRX( Even Bleed have a good chance)
BR - Loud
LAT - KRU
BR/LAT - VK

VLR bugged

TL struggled before stage 3 masters and that ended up badly for them too.

TBH Fpx looked too good today. Please qualify for Masters pls...

The only agent he plays atm is Chamber and Jett. Nice flexibility indeed.

I recognise him...
Looks like he is the best player in another game.

defense sided map gg go next fpx.

going for the 9-3 curse.

FPX can win but losing Ange1 in such a crucial game could make it difficult for them.

To be fair either of 100t or EG will actually win a match.

yes you're right. They are also getting paid to their job while our job is our duty.

great point

Any thread against Shahzam: 100+ replies as to why he sucks. This is just lame VLR users. Can you stop hating on him and Sentinels for once?

There's nothing positive about what they've done so far. if you think beating Knights, NRG or Rise is positive then you're braindead. It's SEN man. Look at their frickin standards. They rarely lose in NA. They 2-0 everybody. Why aren't they tea bagging anybody now? It's because they themselves accept they aren't the best. Even if they lost they made it look close. Against Optic they looked like a bunch of headless chickens. This isn't the SEN we know. If they win against V1 yes, but until then keep your mouth shut and watch the game.

Truth is harsh to accept, but as a matter of fact they suck at the moment. I want them to win too. They aren't changing up things and they deserve what they are now.

And I don't hate them, it's called constructive criticism.

A lot of people give him so much hate that he now has forgotten the difference between hate and sarcasm.

Why are you trying to back Shahzam for everything; looks like he pays you for every comment you make against SEN haters.

As of now, everyone in the playoffs is a contender for masters.

They aren't playing well like they used to so they aren't rated very highly rated. Also people are excited to see new teams like TGRD, V1 popping off so many people are on their hype train.

Regardless, VCT is VCT after all whether it was tier 3 team or not.

there's nothing not to agree about this. Those who win the playoffs and qualify for masters will be considered no.1 and no.2 . Until then C9 are no.1 in NA.

Like you said, it's only "some" Indians. Similarly it is only some people who are racist against the Indian community but they act or represent the whole community since the 'good' people remain silent. I encounter these type of people in Plat/Diamond lobbies too and its annoying.

It's the same as hating all Indians are spamming about Skrossi in twitch streamers' chat when only "some" people do it.

For that they have to play GE right?

agreed

You're asking for GE Kappa, aren't you?

They actually played against the best team in the world and made it close. At least Japanese fans don't have a pea brain and such a big ego like yours.

What makes you think your opinion is relevant?

He is not good on Breach too, a lot of times he gets caught off guard with util in hand.

I feel happy that they didn't give us a direct masters slot. Embarrassment when whole world watching would be horrific for us.

At least the team I support has actually won something internationally.

Ya they won 1 match against DWG last year and you guys hype them like they're gods.
