When XLG vs NRG is the most entertaining yk the matches have been dogshit
I mean anyone who actually watched all the regions knew Americas was going to be the strongest most likely, it's just PRX fans will tell you you don't watch Pacific if you say that, even if they don't watch Americas.
TH -> Theoretically their peak could challenge PRX, but the problem is they're unlikely to hit it. They'll probably end up somewhere in the 4th to 6th range
Vit -> Similar to TH, but their floor is way lower because their individuals are less consistent and they are worse at adapting mid match. If it all clicks they could win the whole thing but as it stands they might struggle to make it to playoffs.
Fut -> IDK, they are very reliant on s0pp smurfing on Neon, and without Neon idk where they'll land. They could theoretically make it out of swiss but their absolute peak is probably 5-6th.
TH 2-1 EDG, good try from EDG, but their run ends here.
XLG up 1 and EDG down 2 and it's my power rankings exactly, they just plagarized me
Ruxic, Alfa, Veqaj, Riens easy top 4. Below that it's a big gap. 5th is one of Sayo, MiniBoo, Jamppi, s0pp, SociablEE, Chronicle, or marteen.
EDIT : I counted secondary duelists (zekken, sato, etc.) as flex players, so they weren't considered. This is for teams primary duelists.
low ELO is whatever ELO is below me
I give them 75% odds. They're still fine for champs points, it's not like they need to make top 2 to qualify, and with Veqaj back they should be an easy top 4 EMEA. If they can't get Veqaj back it's rough though.
Could OOMR make a rock so big even he couldn't lift it?
depends on how he looks in the finals, but probably not unless he goes super mega
also no sign zekken instead of leaf tf not jaw
No one. There is no one in Americas that does his role better than him and also speaks english. You could maybe argue for mada but imo that's a sidegrade.
Chron all time, aspas close second
primmie right now, Neon close second
we need Sliggy or FNS to say Jawgemo is an entry duelist so his stats don't matter as much so vlr can shut up about him.
Navi has at least made multiple internationals in franchising.
wait zekken's not going fuck uhhh d4v41 instead
legitimately I don't even count 24 against him. he was unironically a top initiator in Americas, just jailed by his team.
It was actually just brilliant from Vit.
they know TH knows that Vit like to hold B for retake with Chron, so Vit stacks B and has Jamppi use a lot of util A to make it seem like they're stacking A to induce TH to go B and then TH walk into the stack and lose.
brilliant
unironically one of the smartest plays but it's not flashy so no one cares
imo 100T and Lev (though Vora is a bit behind the rest of his team and Neon a bit ahead)
who, brawk or Verno?
Either way the answer is no. Brawk was better than trent at the end of 2025, but trent was the best initiator in Americas for the first 2/3rds of 2025 so he was still better.
Verno isn't even top 5 initiators in Americas.
Decent shout but he's still pretty good. His stats do overate him but he's still a good player, just not crazy.
if you look at highlights sure but if you watch the games you realize for every round he solo wins with a crazy play he solo loses another one with a crazy play.
yes but people put him in conversations with brawk and trent when he belongs in conversations with JonahP and Jackk
I don't mean players that are bad, I mean players that are actually just okay but everyone thinks are the second coming of Jesus, like Verno and Echo
no fucking clue. This Americas lower bracket is gonna be crazy.
lowkey swap aspas/Alfa and it's fully reasonable.
keiko > valyn
otherwise yea
Not a tournament but this for a show match would be lit. It would be especially cool if it was like "revisit historical matches" and we had 2022 optic vs Loud or 2023 FNC vs EG
I mean the implication is that they'll have already cut p0ppin and Eggster
he's not that good anymore but he's actually playing fine rn, he's just in roster jail
As a lifelong fan I expected better form you. Going to unsubscribe from your onlyfans now
I know you're ragebaiting, but C9 with Demon1 beat Lev without Neon by a similar round differential that C9 with OXY would eventually do once Lev got Neon.
They also barely beat fucking ENVY.
Literally the fakest narrative ever. C9 looked worse with Demon1 than they did with OXY.
Hard to tell because C9 played with monitors off. But imo Loud looked better than they did with Bali but I'm not sure if it's gonna be enough.
