Eh, saying Leaf is a better duelist is debatable. Leaf is certainly more flexible.

People thought he was the least crucial part bc they assumed G2 could slot in another cracked duelist player since the market for cracked duelists is oversaturated. Realistically, I think it was extremely dumb to kick out a guy who really stepped up during Ascension and had over a year of chemistry with the team.

I haven't seen that much hype on him. I think the idea is that he is a solid player who can support the rest of the team. He performed well in superdome, so people are using that as a data point I guess.

TBH I don't know where the Tex hate came from. Tex was the reason Guard won ascension (just look at all the stats), and I was really surprised when Tex was kicked. He isn't proven at the Tier 1 level yet, but he should do fine.

fuck XDDD

I personally have mibr beating Furia and C9 to make play-in for my pickems.

eh, these buffs are pretty inconsequential tbh. The ult buff is good, but you still need to get 8 ult points via kills, death, etc. Give him his second trip back and I think chamber will be in a good place.

I still believe in el diablo's return as a flash initiator.

yay

I don't understand why everyone is so hyped about Leviatan. I think that Leviatan is overrated and is going to flop during the season.

Leviatian is exactly like SEN last year.

Everyone is hyping up c0m and kiNgg, but the reality is that c0m and kiNgg are washed and fraudulent paycheck stealers.

Leviatan doesn't have anyone who can properly fufill the responsibilities of a mid-round caller and will fail because of this.

Leviatan fans are delusional and will be crying when Leviatan loses to Mibr.

I don't understand why everyone is so hyped about [Your Team]. I think that [Your Team] is overrated and is going to flop during the season.

[Your Team] is exactly like [Team which performed poorly last year].

Everyone is hyping up [Player 1 on Your Team] and [Player 2 on Your Team], but the reality is that [Player 1 on Your Team] and [Player 2 on Your Team] are washed and fraudulent paycheck stealers.

[Your Team] doesn't have anyone who can properly fufill the responsibilities of a [role/agent class] and will fail because of this.

[Your Team] fans are delusional and will be crying when [Your Team] loses to [Team which did super bad last year].

100T 2-1 Loud

Bruh 80% of this thread is Brimstan and his alts. Anyone can reply to themselves a bunch of times.

Also,

Also,

100T 2-1 Loud

IDK, but someone please tell him that it's super easy to pick up Gekko's util. Other than that, yeah he clicks heads.

1. 100T will suprise. They beat Lev bc Lev will let two maps through where Cryo plays chamber. Then the confidence of beating Lev will lead them to beating Loud + Boostio has the experience of beating Saadhak twice, in a BO3 and BO5.

2. Jawgemo + the other players on this roster are underated and hungry.

pretty reasonable, but not much cooking

Let me cook

I can tell you how it will happen. Lev will let 2 maps through on which cryo can play chamber.

Thank you Asuna_Yuuki

They probably don't get to Madrid. But they will suprise and get to playoffs

Coach Frod & Bzka reunited + C9 overly cocky and crumbing.

Am I cooking too hard?

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/7da49158

Nah, it makes tube a lot more useful for attack + allows for defense to get picks from mid.

The games are finally for APAC listed but pickems aren't available :(

Personally, I think the hardest games to predict are T1 vs Bleed (should be a good, close game) and RRQ vs GenG (I have no clue about either of these teams). My hot take is that whoever wins the first time between Bleed and T1 will lose in a rematch in playoffs. RIP DRX having to beat PRX to make it to Madrid.

I ran into Boostio on the street yesterday. I walked up to him, I’m a pretty big fan of 100T but I didn’t want to be a jerk or interrupt him or anything, but I asked him for a quick photo. Instead of responding, he grabbed me by the hips and turned me upside down. He shook me up and down until all of my spare change fell out of my pants pockets, grabbed the coins off the ground, then dropped me headfirst onto the asphalt and ran into a nearby McDonald’s. He walked out five minutes later eating a ten piece McNuggets, and when I confronted him, he kept pretending he didn’t speak English. Not a conventional meet and greet but it was fun.

yep

If ya say so...

Not really. SR just won map 2, but it was 14-12 in overtime. TBH PP should have won the map, but oh well. Looking forward to a banger for map 3.

pp

Let's go PP! You can do this!

https://www.vlr.gg/296620/passion-project-vs-shopify-rebellion-game-changers-2024-north-america-series-1-sf

Honey wake up, SR GC just got smurfed on by a Reyna.

Really hoping that PP can close it out and that Misu's qts beat Flyquest so that we can get a match between ex-members of DSG GC

Keep doubting misu's qts

No, I've seen no updates anywhere

The open qual games aren't allowed to be streamed live :(

But we won game 1!!!!

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to pray for times like these

WTF is going on here. They played 1 map, there was a huge pause, they played the 2nd map, and now the whole game is moved to tomorrow?

The game in which Misu's qts are supposed to play the winner of this game got postponed 3 times before being put to tomorrow.

Something is sus

NOOOOOOOOO

:(

Anyone know when we get more info on the MY/SG qualifiers? It says they start today but there's no info on matches :(

I want to watch DSG win (or settle for watching Toast mald)

It's not upsetting. I was just making sure you weren't misinformed. All good.

? I'm all for calling out actual pedos like pancc, but if someone didn't actually do something it's dumb to make jokes about them

Agree, he justs needs to be a bit more consistent. But he has a crazy high ceiling.

You do realize that those allegations were all proven fake right?

ScreaM to DFM lets fucking goooo

????

Instructions unclear. I now need to wash my pants.

You could do sage, but it isn't necessary imo. Personally I think everyone is sleeping on geko. With double wall + cove + wingman plant + flashing and aggressive taking of space, you should get very high plant success rate on icebox. PRX already showed they are willing to use gekko on sunset. + gekko flash is very good at revealing positions/handing tight space since u yeet it into the sky and it has wide visibility.

so maybe harbor viper kayo gekko and phoenix. imo movement duelists arent as important on icebox as other maps. so basically triple flash with kayo gekko and phoenix gekko ultimate flash combos.

or yoru, who also has strong flashes. Like i said, that 5th slot provides many posibilities.

Harbor + viper pretty much a must.

then depending on personal preference, you have 2 init + 1 duelists (no senti), 1 senti + 1 init + 1 duelist, or 1 senti + 2 init with 0 duelist (or maybe 2 duelist + 1 init if you're paper rex)

Personally, I think Harbor viper + kayo, sova and any one of jett/reyna/raze is good.

I'm very excited for what PRX will play. I think they should stick with their harbor viper reyna + flash init template that sections off sites/map area and then double flash through. 5th slot is open to whatever they want, and has so many possibilities.
