what was the thing you were seein for then?

eh maybe current DRX in ewc but also ewc isn't on LAN so lol

cane full of it as usual

I mean they're neat but they didnt turn up to masters 1 so

NO 👏

FINALLY SOMETHING TO AGREE ON 🤝

cant force people

consent is important

flair

forgot lock//in

pacific overall still obviously

emea and cn looking solidly competitive going into champs too, though they don't have a region of like 8+ contenders like APAC, just 4-5.

brother

you are an NRG fan

you CANNOT be talking about 2 years ago 😭

m0drid KEK

yes as in back when they won trophies at their peak and still are the closest the game has come to a dynasty

lights aren't on in there are they

we've got the absolute peak of FNC bro we ain't goin hungry, typical American mindset not content with what you have

it's certainly not b0nji, b00 or r0ins

we were just being kind, we actually care about fixing poverty over here unlike the USA

Imo CN stage 2 form is looking better going into champs than America's.

I'd agree pre-bangkok

mentally boomed

Miniboo is their only real player right now and he was never exactly carry material despite being decent

congratulations you'll never guess who wins Bangkok

internet explorer looking ass

like 80% of people in this community refused to let him be criticized at all while he was "up", what do you expect? Nobody's been able to have the conversation, and even now your narrative is about giving him a break while other players who've retired are fair game.

who isn't understanding game mechanics now? Haunt nearly always gets shot. Yeah that's still some value from crosshair displacement but still not as much as most other util when there's so few mixup options.

Prowler IS good but it's not the only ability in the game capable of clearing the lurking Viper. Nullify is also WAY too strong of a word here. Multiple sentinels have options to contest the same space, some even more passively. Prowlers can only chase Viper out of the space so many times per round, while a Cypher cam, Vyse flash or even Deadlock net and wall apply more pressure to the Viper in the whole duration of the round.

How about instead of calling people names while parroting very standard ideas about the game literally everyone knows as if they're gospel you sit down and think for yourself about the various details of the game and how those intricacies interact with each other? It's much more interesting than just being a grumpy sod all day.

wtf does "get nullify" mean

and do you do anything but post passive aggressive nonsense?

thats fair actually I also forgot they cut it from the pool for stage 2 so by the time we see it again we'll probably have Skye and Tejo back at usable levels (probably with recharges again)

wtf do you run here right now

flash initiator is dead right now, fade haunts don't really get value, Tejo and Skye have no refreshable util and burn out fast

do you just ditch it and run like, double senti double controller? Deadlock, Vyse and maybe even Chamber at least have valuable rechargeables.

probably overcooking but

thoughts?

we're pretending losing to master's finalists makes you a one-team region now?

I mean yes that's how the upper bracket works

should've prepped better for their weak maps or not lost to G0nG with munchtilt at the start of playoffs.

wouldn't even have been that hard if they leaned into their Vyse/Chamber comps on Sunset and Pearl so Alfa and Chron could take over.

But they still have only themselves to blame.

most of the money is in the advertising and social media campaigns, rather than the prize pool.

The point of it at the end of the day after all isn't actually a prestigious high-end tournament. It's just sportswashing.

People forget that means a shite tournament with no passion too, and not just political upset.

Crazy the amount of mouthbreathers ive had insisting the orgs are going to take the event seriously and it magically not be a mickey because of the prize pool

only for this to be how it goes

id be laughing if it weren't so ridiculous

what the fuck are these results then little bro

MISINFORMATION ON THE INTERNET

money does not make an event not a mickey

holy NS sneak

so blatant I don't even think it's called a sneak anymore

ITS ONLINE TOO HOLY SHIT LMAO JUST WHEN YOU THINK SURELY IT CAN'T BE MORE MICKEY

Best player is heavily debatable but yes, losing Leaf is impactful.

KC just ate G2 alive...

so TH getting cut in franchising changes, cool

It's a mickey but a mickey doesn't magically make the Stage 1 Amer 2nd seed lose to EMEA 4th, Amer is just a shite 1 team region that could only farm CN, and they'll bomb champs now they cant do that either.

no just JohnQT and Kaplan

Probably but we're still a weaker region overall

Flash initiator pretty weak right now but that means you put your flash init player on Vyse double senti stuff not solo sentinel lol

lol

sorry forgot seeding is technically different for mickey EWC

also not even true KC is in lol

1 team region and fluke China farming Toronto run allegations not beaten AT ALL 😭

S0ntluls is back gentlemen

looking at the stat page munching food going i told you so as usual

So we're pretending the bracket isn't known about in hindsight again, awesome.

arguably KC too

bro thinks BLG is good

typical NRG cope i suppose

it's icebox... omen is more likely to be alone doing a mid split than KJ...

LMAO S0N WHAT ARE YOU DOING

THERE IS 0 EVIDENCE A SENTINEL IGL CAN'T WIN.

MOST RECENT NA WINS WERE SENTINEL IGL, EVEN. IN FACT, YOU WERE LITERALLY ONE OF THEM.

what are they doing bro

Rating of their bait post (bad)
