g2 have a roster, if they let go of all their players then yes ascending m80 makes the most sense

they are facing wbg, so how does beating blg matter

team who?

you dont think t1 have a chance :(

trials for now, but he is a likely candidate

thanks for the info

I mean they made top 6 and one of the 2 teams that beat fnatic that year

is he good? idk him

I like the vote of confidence, but I would want to see them in tier 1 before I have any trust in them

JDG have a decent chance if they start the year off strong I think

they removed my favorite pacific player >:( i hope they bomb out every tournament. all jokes aside I think drx have a pretty good chance

I think fpx as a team will catch out a lot of good teams for their unfamiliar playstyle but wont have the ability to go very deep into tournaments.

but maybe a masters win in the early season is possible with less and less antistrating

someone who outcalled your flair :P

clearly not a somebody

if jinggg and something expand their agent pull, I see chance especially with split and pearl coming back.

but as of now, its not gonna happen till prx run a playable comp with players comfortable on said comp
2023 was so good because they had good maps, and raze was the best uncontested duelist

arent they one of the richest org in eu or something? management just seems to suck

can you explain what "vs his old comp." means

you saw that video too huh? well someone was arguing fiercely that suygetsu and nobody are unkown players

which chinese and pacific team will win their next title
excluding geng and edg
or do you think none of the current rosters would win a title in the future and it would have to be completely new talent

DUDE ITS 4AM, AND I SWEAR IM FUCKING CRAZY, I SWEAR IT SAID SUYGETSU 'EIFGOHWe;hiufuhweGFHU;Iwegohvwg[PwhgwehoFIwhof[FGOwehg[UFOHqe[fugqe'FGIUGfgv;qeGFIUeq;gFqeb;FUpfu'

start less
bench nats
sell alfa

his credible sources... duh

If i wanted to go by objectiveness probably

start less
bench nats
sell suygetsu

I hope we make an international next season at very least ^^

2023s roster looked like a super team?
sayf + nats + jamppi is a crazy combo

redgar and soulcas also had crazy peaks that you could see in a toptier roster at the time

well im bias so

start nats
bench suygetsu
sell less

if you didnt perform in the last game = shit player

or something along those lines

extremely reliable (this is the first time ive seen him)

ahhh thanks for the insight I was clueless about his CS days and only got a briefing from a friend who liked him a lot

I love the kr1stal pick up, and not lets make nats an igl take

can your opinion be wrong next year? would make me feel a lot better

I thought it was because he got banned from his friend cheating on his pc or something

is this good? not really
is this better than last year? yes
is this gonna win anything? no
is this the best they could do with the currently available talent? eh probably

is liquid gonna make a deep run?
i hope the fuck so

I wouldnt disagree that hiro is worse than nats, its just that if you have hiro you wouldnt buy nats because you already have a good enough sentinel player

huh????

eu besides turkey is kinda a dead region for new talent. I mean look at the ascension winner, filled with t1 pros who didnt make tier 1 this year. you have the occasional british or russian player talent pop up but as of right now not enough for 11 teams who wanna perform better

still won emea

you think envy vs gambit is an unfavoured match up? when one of envys favourite maps is a map that gambit has never practiced? Also steel calling was good but gambit just fumbled over for steel in icebox and couldnt mentally recover on split

S1Mon and nobody
I think keiko really has the potential to bloom
kr1stal as an igl
verno and oxy with the correct pieces

im sorry vitality HAVE WHAT????

I remember the good ol days where sentinels had 5 jett players

yeah if sayf had some crazy performances on flex, the decision might make sense but his flex is mediocre at best

just a waste for such a talent to have

his skye during 2023 was kinda crazy no? also jamppis breach isnt great, he performs well but his utility is eh.

HOWEVER dont forget about his AMAZING duelist play!!! :D

sayf just hates duelist

I originally despised liquid for getting rid of sayf but it makes sense, he wants to play every role but duelist

unless his contract expires, vo0kashu is never leaving

sayf is gonna go smokes for 3/4 of the year, realise his team is doing shit, go one duelist does a crazy emea run and then get eliminated in groups.

a title winner isnt even close to being the worst player

crazy statement since gambit massively underpreformed in that series and envy the best NA team at the time couldnt squeek one map past gambit

keloqz is a semi finalist, so he mustve been doing something right

agreed, his vibes and calls were acknowledged by his team and some the coaches even considered him the best igl as of right now. according to chichoo nobody micromanages every action his team does, and if you listen to some of his calls its incredibly detailed. One of the best igls for me without a doubt

pretty awful take

List of players to have if your team wouldnt pick up nAts:
Suygetsu
Alfa
Benjy
hiro

not counting liquid and the three non english teams, thats 4 teams who would buy nats
