it didn't effect the end result so it's probably fine in the overall, but SEN not getting grouped and winning anything in playoffs at the dogshit level they were playing was ultra mickey fluke and you know it. Two teams that should've beaten them screwed over by subs.

its more mickey than l0ck/in bro not even a masters

you replied too late for them to have done so without it telling us.

can't spell so you resort to microaggressions seems reasonable

Autumn (the player not the fraud coach ofc)

yeah its diabolical ngl sack him so DRX can get their year+ of dominance as deserved

preferably wait for TL to win champs first but like

FNC sacked their shit coach and suddenly they're second at a masters again so

never happening, orgs are allergic to building superteams with IGLs

what like our favorites or someone else's and you'll name a person for it

if it's the latter, Apeks.

objective: bait

yeah why do you think they made him IGL lil bro, cuz he was already doing a lot of it

you provided fuckin stats. please look at his util usage, gameplans and timings and come back and tell me he isn't above like 90% of full time smokers in T1.

demon1 also ate shit constantly the rest of the time, F0rsaken's gameplay is consistently good outside of his damn VLR rating because VLR rating is not a real gauge of how good a player is. You want a stat that tells the whole story at least go find the rounds above replacement values.

k but this is unironically not true

That's great if you pretend we don't know what teams they match up against in groups. If BLG lose to TL because they have nAts, SEN loses to TL and is then grouped by PRX because they can't rematch WOL.

It's plenty possible (and has happened before, even to prior SEN) for one of the "four best teams in swiss" to get grouped because of matchups even if you think they're in that category (debatable, TH, MIBR and BLG being jokes doesn't guarantee anything, cuz this TH is absolutely not the one that was at regionals)

brother do you know what impact is

also, dude is doing this stuff while basically being (and now officially being) his team's IGL.

he is playing Omen better than SIGNED SMOKES PLAYERS. Ones AT THIS EVENT, even.

assuming the bracket is exactly as it would've been and the same picks are made (which tbf is not realistic, XLG is not picking TL like they did SEN), they at least make it as deep as SEN (cuz that far is free) and their PRX matchup likely gets them deeper.

The TL line is isn't even really about TL, it's about dunking on delusional SEN fans who think SEN not getting grouped is anything but a fluke. They didn't cook comps and are still trolling JohnQT on initiator, but "performed" because TWO TEAMS HAD TO FIELD SUBS, one team losing their star player and IGL and the other having to play with a guy who literally CAN'T SPEAK TO HIS DUELIST.

SURELY KC man cmon

so true bro a loss to the winner of the entire fucking tournament

how the fuck are you trying to spin that

so true bro nAts' personal performance was the issue in the game that mattered (the one he literally didnt get to play)

0 kills in the series clearly washed

remind me what his teams have won without his impact again

holy SEN sneak

bro did not select an agent and still got in DM what

sideshow has made multiple videos about why not, yes

community list is hype biased instead of properly performance based and the talent list is a miniscule sample size

yeah ofc it's gonna be dogshit

they said this? must've been such a shit take it didn't imprint on my brain cuz damn I do not remember this

spot the stats andy

Holy demon1 sneak

omen, notably also one of the most broken agents in the game, as we have been learning all the way from Astra meta until RIGHT NOW.

please stop requesting people come

"theory" literally exactly what he's doing

bro spends half the year trolling trying to find his perfect rookie IGL fckin the team at expense to do so then someone yells at him and suddenly the best roster he could build magically appears and still gets 5th because he boom their mental

either sack the guy or free the players already man. even fucking A0t0mn has won an event now, there's no excuse.

get T0rmi off the fucking team so they can start winning the next like 5 events in a row already

Well, we're half way there. If T0rmi gets gone too we'll have our first dynasty well on it's way.

maybe give emea champs first as back payment for all the other events gifted but big prospects DRX.

mako performance noticably worse as igl and also termi loves getting a new guy to igl

lol so unforgivable hes back on the team, what totally reasonable clowning this thread was

His TPs are absolutely good but they're the part of his identity that is most well liked and makes him fun to watch in pro. You could maybe improve clarity on them but otherwise I think it's best if TP is why you pick him.

Astra and a few other slot options can do similar rolling retreats in some spots with dissipate, so i think it should be alright overall on most maps. It's fine if Omen is still preferred on Lotus and Sunset specifically even because Astra can still take maps like Haven and Split from him, which is the main idea behind my paranoia nerf anyway, to weaken his stopping power on defense without committing to it a bit more, meaning he'll be TPing out more but not slowing hits as much.

Icebox is a very different beast entirely and I think very emblematic of the duelist-y style of play that people enjoy the most from him. The solution there is probably to look at Jett's balance and Icebox's map design, rather than Omen's personal balance, imo, although I also dont think he's particularly overperforming on Icebox so much as a good consideration to take 0.5 duelist and 2 controller on the least duelist heavy map with the most off angles in the game.

Paranoia getting traded for ults as often as it does is a big part of why I feel it needs nerfed too. Breach isn't a great example because he's very clearly underpowered himself, but having to reactively spend his 9 cost ult just to defend your team against a reclear because of one flash is fucking insane game balance and needs looked at.

as if my friends and oshi weren't already tempting me to pick it up fuckin VLR is also obsessed with the horse gatcha

guess it's only a matter of time now...

Omen TPs are in a good spot imo, Issue is paranoia and his smokes. Best ive come up with is a Breach windup on paranoia so you dont get full range or AoE reactively and smokes to 35s cooldown and old projectile speed so lower deploy time at range to not massively outclass everyone else in every stat but duration for no reason. Also not sure why we buffed him to not reveal his location on smoking at 15m, really stupid buff to his clutches.

Skye and Tejo need recharge. Anyone saying otherwise now that double senti is displacing them always on every map because of exactly that is coping hard because they don't like their abilities.

Tejo can have rocket recharge back since his other nerfs already massively neutered it. If post-plant continues to be an issue (it shouldn't with single rockets instead of double) you can increase the time between pulses to make the window to move larger.

Skye meanwhile would still be broken with flash, so you'd have to make dog recharging signature instead, and probably nerf it's hp while you're there to about ~40 down from 80.

we're fucking doomed then

look man fns already retired lay off

and not true once... almost impressive

social security diff... wow

tenz and derke too high

Breeze is so fixable with a real halls rework (put door in the middle of halls instead of from halls to site

They did probably have very little time, which is why it's ridiculous to overcook instead of just playing variants of your ascent comp...

probably still worse than Omen but theres at least a good amount of thought behind the leer + dizzy + high gear

?????

I too one day hope we can be rid of this meme

mostly by making it so people have j*bs

I will laugh in the meantime. To hide the tears

that sounded edgier than i meant but im bad at words so fck it oh well

yes and no?

They did prepare for sunset and pearl. They just prepared a dated Viper comp and a wrong double duelist respectively instead of like, playing Chamber/Vyse on both. Which given their ascent is now their best map? Is pretty troll in it's own right.

other countries need to get on simplifying stuff and cleaning up ghost listing on job websites as part of supporting economically inactive people back into work

but a lot of places the climate is never doing that. I hope we eventually get on top of it here, they're supposed to be.

lot of people applying for the same positions

back in day you'd be lucky to get like, 7-8 people see, and thatd be considered high demand

but nowadays thanks to internet everything gets like 30-50+ applications 🙃

heretics ez as shit

also good to know who will come 1st and 3rd in event
