i love how TEs third best needs to be improved upon, really goes to show how they are 2 map merchants

mmmm, I actually have no clue, I just assumed it mb

GuanG is soooo gooood man
want him on fpx instead of yosemite but its aight

listen After is overcooking the roles a little even when he was on EDG but I take this over b1ack playing again. AC should be inti, abo senti and RB jett but its a lil better

we love haodong and after bringing us the edg anti eco classic

TEC after is already making good choices with snail coming in

playing a chinese game with kernel level access lol

vanity lost all his aura my dude

yeah I dont have high hopes either XD

they have an eye for good talent, just switch out players too much for the team to grow imo

GL in whatever you do AAK

Sacy had a very good year in 2022 I agree but thats practically it. in 23 he was just bad and 24 he was middle of the pack.

also trophies dont just depend on indiviudals, it requires good teams, having that as a basis and not having it be performance based is silly especially with how poor marved played in 23 and 24.

blg lost two of their best players - yosemite, biank and have just lost flexin a top controller player in china. im sorry BLG are cooked

my main problem is the lack of mako. nats hasnt made an international lately so picking alfa isnt that bad even if I disagree. but mako? cmon man no ways old man retired marved and rookie karon is better than one of the most consistent players ever. dude has been a beast his entire career. Sacy over leo is also diabolical

FGC and GES are starting soon and after that its RBHG???

T_T

what did this prove bro

what do you do with the other half

dont ask me, everyone says my music taste is shit

unlucky gang, hope everything works out for you

yeah im ethinically chinese and I just realised going purely off the scoville ratings it looks like im dogshit if all ive ever eaten in cayenne pepper T-T

surely liquid make one LAN this year...

not on the list

I can count this as a success <(^^)>

cant believe heretics haters exist

what sauces

just found out its like 30 000-50 000 scoville so its like nothing

AGREEEDDDDDD

its the only reason I havent starved to death

I eat spicy food, I have absolutely 0 clue what my spice level is tho because I am very picky

I can atleast eat cayenne pepper (ive never tried anything hotter than it) but I am below average in spice tolerance in my family.

agreed

Oh btw

Heybay - DL
Sheydos/jinggg - Sage

honestly I think AAAAY is a better aimer than anyone on EDG lol, just an incredible aimer, if his utility was any good I would consider AAAAY a top 15-10 player

Dont vibe with the munchkin pick but overall good list

there we go fixed it

HM West:
Tenz, Demon1, Derke, Trexx, Sheydos
HM East:
Life, nobody, Jinggg, BuZz, mako

West:
Suygetsu
Alfa
Aspas
zekken
less

East:
Zmjjkk
AAAAY
Karon
Meteor
Forsaken

Scream - most iconic phoenix moment, and was also known for playing unhinged duelist like phoenix/reyna (sick isnt bad either but scream has more longevity)
nAts - was known as the best for a long time, no access to site, long ass legacy and part a tiny pool of players who have been good every year
Mako - no explantation really needed, consistent asf also part a tiny pool of players who have been good every year
Mako - same as before, mako is a beast at brim, omen and astra
s0m - personal pick, he was imo americas best pure controller in 2023 and just an overall beast
leo - Leo things, I dont really need to explain
cauanzin - very iconic skye player to me, only in contention with d4v4i imo
Shao - Leo is a fine pick for fade but shaos fade hits different every time
stax - literally said he was breach, long ass legacy, known breach main, good placementd

yeah buddy you might need one that is a little more solid

ah I did...
prx are shit at that map too

cant believe I forgot the goat laz on chamber

fellow cryocells gang !!!!!

Agreed, im sick of reading this shit

MY GOAT, YOU WERE THE REASON XLG MADE ASCENSION.

WISH YOU THE BEST

saw what you did there :0

me when kk and cryo ;-;'

im sorry for being stupid simp4s0m :(

I just want another lock//in

FINALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO PLAY PRO PLAY

I want to the XiLaiGaming for signing me and I promise to do good

Id rather bet on boaster vs the entire fnatic roster than bet on a jigsaw trap

its still better than their haven and ascent

In order imo their map pool is:
------------------
sunset
Split
Pearl
fracture
-------------------
icebox
Bind
lotus
Breeze
---------------------
Ascent
haven

pearl and split coming in is good but prxs icebox and lotus werent awful. I expect prx to have a better map pool this year but for it to still be bad

we would have 27 maps by now if that was true, which is way too much
