Look at the run of this guy his story is so incredible how can you not support him.

M80 lose 2x in Ascension finals. Farms 2 seasons but underrated always cuz of the roster around him

Goes to NAVI and couldn’t mesh well.. plays mediocre

Goes to Furia —> beats his ex teammates on SEN who got to T1 before him and gets revenge on G2 for beating him 2023 Guard.

This guy genuinely is the kindest pro I’ve ever seen AND HE HAS A DAUGHTER FARMING THESE TEAMS!

Best OP in NA and maybe even the world and I hope he keeps this up.

On stream he showed private YouTube videos of him destroying Danteh, Killaruh Smqcked etc in red rover. Truly inspirational.

Please Koalanoob lead Furia to victory again today

Koalanoob replied to a person saying basic is arriving in a few day to LA. Does this mean someone is gonna get subbed out or basic will come in depending the map? Everyone hypes him up but I haven’t seen enough of him to really know how good he is.

Koalanoob and I’ll fight the guy that said he’s investing early

So then this list literally shouldn’t exist?

Ya because why would you look historically when we are talking about right now? Koalanoob looks years ahead of some of the duelists ahead of him. If this was a ranking pre season sure but you can’t deny what he’s doing right now is insane

Koalanoob 9 after these performances is criminal this guys OP is top 1/2 Americas with Aspas

You make it sound like the players on Furia are tiers skill wise below G2 which isn’t the case. I’m not saying koala oping is gonna be the reason Furia have a chance although I do think it’ll be a factor. But you’re making it sound like Furia have 0 game plan outside of that. We both don’t have the answer to that as we haven’t seen enough of them yet. It’s more my bias towards Furia that makes me believe they got a lot more but you have every right to believe G2 should win can’t disagree there

Sen were bad of course but furia also dismantled them felt like they had the reads every round and on breeze were down 4-0 and lost both pistols yet still won

I feel like they have a pretty good identity. Get koala an OP and everyone play around that + with each other. When you see the other side where koala isn’t they seem so work super solid together and I hope it’s like that on the other maps we haven’t seen yet

Oh 100%! Valyn for sure has overall always been better this is pure 2026 watching kickoff.

Trent is better than eeiu for sure but it’s not that big of a gap. Koala >> babybay is the big 2 tier gap and you’re saying Trent is like that to eeiu? I agree he’s better but it’s not by as much as you’re stating

We’ll see man but they really looked like a top team in that SEN match

Eeiu is way closer to Trent than art is to valyn I think. I just mean current level. Historically 100% Trent and valyn clear them

What makes you say that? I feel like Fur looked levels above SEN and actually had incredible team play. Skill wise it’s close and I really think it’s gonna be a lot closer than a stomp 2-0. Even if it is 2-0, I see it being very close maps

Historically of course Trent and valyn > eeiu and art. But currently they are playing at a similar level. I’m not that dense and I also won’t disagree with anyone who says eeiu < trent and valyn > art

I hope so he’s been alright at best and I feel like if they would make changes it’d be him at the moment. Would like to see a pop off game of this caliber also

I have a feeling that this match is way more even than people think.

If Furia keeps up this team play I can really see them beating G2 or pushing them to their limits in a close series.

Skill wise this roster is close or better than G2s depending how you view it

Alym =< Jaw
Koala >> Babybay
Eeiu = Trent
Art = Valyn
Nerve << Leaf

80/20 seems way too favourable in my opinion. I think 70/30 or 65/35 is more accurate

You think if they pull out the miracle win vs G2 they make it? Can be upper middle or lower bracket.

I like the guy I’m a huge koala fan and him and nerve get along really well but end of the day I think nerve might struggle long term and I really wanna see this team shine

Koala has also said eeiu is pretty quiet and just plays his game so I think there’s a bit of misunderstanding there. If I had to guess koala and art are the big talkers while the rest just sit there and listen/adapt

Koala said on stream Alym is more of a pretty quiet duelist so yeah this list seems accurate

Koala seems to be playing smokes now when he’s not duelist or chamber so basic could go flex and art back to viper however viper igl seems a little scary

I don’t think nerve is even the second caller. Koalanoob is known for being the biggest voice outside the igl. Bonkar said he thought he was igl on M80 in the midround when he heard the communication. If that’s the case, nerve being there really doesn’t make sense anymore.

Furia and 100T seem similar level but of course we’ll see when they play if they play assuming Furia loses

Yeah you said it perfectly

Defence should be fine I swear it could work.

Imagine Alym eeiu and demon1 3 top aimers and a top 1/2 op in koala this roster could be insane

Either of them for nerve on Furia is a huge upgrade to that team

Koala and Alym #1/2 for fkpr. Demon1 thrives when people are infront of him and those 2 will run it down. As long as he has time to aim he’ll always do well

Smokes/viper smokes we know it’s just viper

I’m not looking at stats I’m watching the games too. Definitely had impact don’t get me wrong but I think he may be too inconsistent right now from what we’ve seen. Demon1 just upgrade in every way more than a sidegrade

I kinda disagree. Yeah demon1 is insane on chamber but koala is a pure oper and will definitely take that role. Demon1 says he can play all roles now and I think him on viper will be just fine. Gets to take his timings and play around his stuff which is clearly what he seems comfortable in.

He is doing alright at best not gonna lie koala and art have been carrying this roster. Alym I believe will turn up soon and eeiu is eeiu. Demon1 to me is just pure upgrade but obviously if Furia keep doing good it won’t happen. Just saying if they lose out on kickoff here

Artzin is actually igling now. Nerve igling wasn’t working

Assuming Furia start to disappoint in kickoff/early split 1 doesn’t demon1 for nerve just instantly make them international level?

Demon1
Eeiu
Koalanoob
Alym
Artzin

This roster sounds crazy

If what Furia is doing is legit and stays consistent I don’t see him leaving but if this is just a little fluke run and they full slow down I feel like he’d take the SEN offer if they threw the bag

He ops but he’s not Koalanoob level.. koalas just a full upgrade over reduxx and chemistry from m80 will be there

So serious if Furia fall after these wins and SEN keep struggling you throw the bag at Koalanoob

-he does everything reduxx does but better and even more flexible
-you get a real OP player that SEN desperately need
-reunite with John and they clearly had success together on M80

Pro play AND Pro city bro it’s too funny

This guy would 30 bomb every pro city permanently first picked and OP’d on every agent and he just filled 50% of the time

Kang Kang is also a good shout but seriously go watch Koalanoob right now I think he has to be #1 right now. Excited to watch kangkang tho he’s a monster with the gun

Does anybody here watch his streams? It’s actually crazy the insane OP shots he just casually hits while fucking around with his chat and this is him just trolling. I’m being honest I don’t think we’ve seen an OP player like him since prime yay. Aspas is obviously very good with it and overall the best player itw but I actually think koala may be the best OPer itw right now

I will be so happy to see him at an international plz riot script work

Tbh koala just shit on them b2b2b rounds and that was it. I’m a koala glazer so I’m biased but reality is he played insane and they just had an off day more than an on day. It’s been 1 series for them and everybody is hating they have plenty more season to come. Give them time! They’ll be good.

I disagree on 2023 M80 I feel like that roster would make at least 1 international. 2024 on the other hand would be middle of pack imo. BcJ and neT probably wouldn’t be good enough to keep up in T1 and unless M80 2024 made changes they would’ve lost out

NA has more team play whereas EMEA is more individual highlights from ANY role.

Koalanoob has said this since returning to NA. He said he failed there because a disagreement on the meta and getting sent to his death every round vs Tejo breach while he only had fade every map. Initiators didn’t do much to set him up and he noticed that was a common trend in EMEA. He said in NA there are consistently more initiators that are way more selfless and tries to help setup the duelist well and get more info for the team.

This^^^ Shaw is literally the #1 koala hype man everytime Shaw gets to talk about him it’s just pure compliments. He was initially worried a little with koala having a daughter but no other doubts and koala instantly broke that doubt for him because now Shaw says he’s never seen a grinder like koala before and he’s so happy to be teammates with him and was a fan ever since they lost in ascension to M80

Go watch M80 vs OXG stage 2 to make finals before ascension that match says it all on the level difference and how koala just single handedly carried M80 to the finals on an insane comeback
