I mean I didn't put it like that cause I wanted it to be 54321 that's what I just thought would happen and I even explained some of them are tossups and will be really close games so it could go either way on some of them

I think it would be a lot closer than you think and if Sen is still shaky like they were in qualifiers it might be rough.

I meant 100T got better than they were before each time they played against each other.
Also, Ethan imo is better than android and has chemistry with hazed, also making them look way better than they used to look before as we can see from their results.

yeah its really either way for me

I just think they look strong right now but they can lose to Guard easily if they dont come strong enough

Group predictions

Group A
NRG:5-0(L vs )
Guard:4-1(L vs NRG)
Xset:3-2(L vs NRG,TGRD)
100T:2-3(L vs TGRD,Xset,NRG)
TSM:1-4(L vs NRG,100T,TGRD,Xset)
Ghost:0-5(L vs Xset,TGRD, NRG,TSM,100t)

NRG- Looking really strong right now. They haven't shown they can play against the best of the best as yet but so far I think they can 5-0 this group

Guard- Has been a great team with a good showing for a little while now. I think they will lose to NRG but will probably be a close game going map 3 with OT.

Xset- Has been a top 5 team for a while and just has fallen short against the top teams. Will do good enough to qualify.

100T- Still looked a little shaky on some maps. Hope that their boot camp is going to improve this and when bang reaches the boot camp they will do good. High potential of beating Xset.

TSM- Really good showing so far but I think the rest of the teams are just showing better performance but TSM will take make most of the teams fight till the end. I put 100t beating them because 100t has played them twice during qualifiers and 100t looked better each time they played.

Ghost - Great team but it sucks that they are kind of the weak link in this group but they have the potential to win against 100T or TSM but before I see them play against any of the teams in this group I think they might be taking an 0-5.

Group B
Optic Gaming5-0(L vs )
C9:4-1(L vs OPTC)
Faze:3-2(L vs OPTC,C9)
Sen:2-3(L vs OPTC,Faze,C9)
LG:1-4(L vs Sen,Faze,C9,OPTC)
EG:0-5(L vs C9,Sen,LG,OPTC,Faze)

Optic-Really good team looking too strong right now.

C9- Has been a great team and has the potential to beat Optic

Faze- Been showing really good improvement but we haven't seen them go against the top teams like C9 and Optic but will push them to their limits.

Sen-A little shaky right now but with rawkus back I think they can qualify here and be really strong going into playoffs. Will give Faze some competition and probably go map 3 and OT

LG- looking good but stronger teams will just take over. Might be able to beat Sen but if Sen comes with good strats they will probably lose.

EG- Good team but also the weak link of this group not sure if they can hold up against the top teams as yet. Could fight LG and Sen for wins but will be hard.

Just initial thoughts on the groups could honestly go any way cause a lot of these teams have restructured and are coming out strong this time. Lemme know your thoughts.

flair checks out

How are Sentinels looking good right now all they did was a lower bracket run against tier 3 teams except soar and akrew

this is my own

I dont think Ghost will qualify through upper bracket like V1 but i think they still qualify in lower bracket

They looked good against faze in knights monthly but I just cant see it. Will be close games tho.

SQ beating NRG and V1 is some hard COPIUM

Based on my pickem, I have V1, Sen, Ghost, and NRG qualifying.

yeah that's exactly what I mean

I definitely agree that Seven and Guimond are insane but I feel like the academy team is never suppose to be an actual team it is more for newer talent to show off themselves under a big org. TSM should take advantage of the players on the academy roster to build on them and shape them into even better players.

Instead of going for Seven and GMD why didn't they bring in Harmful and Dcop or Venture to replace Wardell and Aleko respectively. Even if these players are not better than seven and GMD it would be a good chance to build up these players instead of having their main roster change their comp completely to fit these players in.

makes sense

names?

I don't really see pros using the bulldog. I like it as a second round gun because its not super expensive and a headshot and bodyshot does 150. I really like the ADS too.
I see Jazzyk1ns using the bulldog in thee tournament rn. Just wanna see if anyone knows anyone else who uses it and your opinion on the gun.

That would be cool to see. Also nice to see another trini.

Seeding matches do matter but you don't get extra circuit points for placing higher if you already qualified for another event. You get the circuit points in that other event.

Happy Birthday

I agree the best pancake is better than the best waffle by a long shot.

Zombs on duelist would be fun to see actually. Also Yoru could be good with new patch.

I don't think sentinels is putting the right people on the right agents on fracture I feel like they could do better if they change up how they are doing it.

Right now:
Shahzam-Breach
Dapr-Chamber
Tenz-Jett
Zombs-Viper
Sick-Astra

What I think they could be:
Shahzam- Chamber
Dapr- Viper
Tenz- Jett
Zombs- Astra
Sick- Breach

Shahzam- moving to Chamber allows him to be able to op (which in my opinion he is a better oper than Tenz-) and be able to play a slow play style which will help with IGLing for the team.

Dapr- moving to Viper is good for Dapr as he plays viper on Bind anyway and I feel as he is comfortable playing that role so far.

Tenz- staying on Jett is fine for Tenz as everyone knows he is insane but better as a rifler than an oper. He should leave the hoping to Shahzam unless they decide to do a double op a round which is not bad.

Zombs- moving to Astra is fine for zombs as he plays Astra on most maps and is quite comfortable on her. Even though with the new patch we might see a Brim or Omen instead of Astra.

Sick- moving to Breach is much better for Sick as it fits more his play style of playing playing fast with lots of utility to work with. I always thought of Sick as a flex player being able to pick up any role but after seeing him play Astra I don't know if it is a good fit for him.

I really just started thinking of this cause I didn't think Sick was performing as he should and it would be better for the team if they took this approach. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Also this is my first Thread just want to see what you guys think.

Yeah I know that game but I feel like we could have that map as a back-up pick not a go to map pick

Does anyone know why 100T still picks split. Like we never do good on split. I cant remember the last time we won on Split.
