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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.

"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.
and not true once... almost impressive
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
the TH ones dont count they're incapable of trying in Bo5 losers think their map pool can be half dogshit all year every year and coast off map pick and strong deciders even though there's 5 maps to play not 2
its more a joke about it being hard to get a job rn than it is people not wanting to im be real
that's great bro but can you entry the site already
Absolutely it's a good argument. You bang on about "if if if" as if these supposed "hypotheticals" aren't just the facts that
"TL played at a significantly higher level with nAts than without" (noway) - nearly beating PRX, who went on an undefeated uppers run from there
and
"SEN was playing at a much poorer level than expected" which was very apparent in their WOL game. They were making so many obviously exploitable mistakes, but WOL didn't pick up on them, and it was still close despite WOL not being even remotely in form yet.
It's not even cope, it's just analysis.
