#2 is right, plus throwing a shock dart, molly or a slow orb in that smoke helps prevent that swing so you can focus on site

your pattern means one thing: that the good teams stay consistent over a year
and then there are some great teams like FNC, PRX and SEN who stay consistent over many years (probably due to their system)

but G2 haven't looked consistent (and in top form) since after the Tejo nerf
so all I'll say is we shall see how they recover in Stage 2 and Champs

The World Champion is back! Curious to see the role changes though

hope he does well on his new team!

man i jinxed it lmao

excited to see this team play, hope they figure out the roles properly

valid take

GENG vs PRX grand finals would be cinema

Thanos vs Thanos, i still believe but it's gonna be incredibly hard for GENG to win this

hmmm i've heard All Gamers needs one more

i think the paranoia can be nerfed slightly (but i don't know how), his tps are fine
but more importantly, just buff astra, brim, and clove

Waylay, in the current meta

recency bias, but how GENG lost against both WOL and G2 at Toronto

KC is a better contender for that I'll say

man how much money does this org have? T_T

wait, you're right, all this time i thought he was signed from a T2 team

you're right

o7 Sylvan, you're still a great rookie

fr, let's remember that under Boaster's leadership FNC has made it to 4 Int'l Grand Finals in 5 years of VCT
the most out of any team

they all seem very humble about their victory, determined to go ahead and win Champs too
i love that

W Post!
PRX were absolutely INSANE! Congrats to them
Boaster looked stressed the whole match, I haven't seen that stressed since the LOCK//IN timeout, you are right, it was a hard fought battle

CONGRATULATIONS PRX! THE TRAIN HAS ARRIVED!

PRX 3-2 FNC
incredibly hard match for both teams, both are very experienced and no strangers to the Grand Finals stage

incredibly hard matchup for both teams but i believe in PRX #PRXWin

W article! I couldn't watch the match but based on the writing I think FNC won convincingly

Only one stop remains for the PRX train win this event! CHOO CHOO!!!

nobody expected this upper finals match up
"PRX dinosaur devours Wolves, secures Grand Finals" would be insane title if it happens

GENG eliminated, PRX is my favourite now
jokes aside, they need to up their mental and munchkin needs to revisit the drawing board
see you at champs

^

win this GENG, we want you in this tourney

All the best KovaQ!

PRX train blasts through SEN City in a convincing fashion!

wolves played insanely well, they deserve it
munchkin got outcalled by fatbb

#6 is right but i don't know what they were trying with the map picks

XLG showing a lot of confidence by picking SEN, let's see how it plays out

both teams are really good, this has to be a hard fought 2-1 either way it goes

GEN 2-1 FNC
this is a certified BANGER

it was a good match, BLG still has a real chance to clinch playoffs

they might be back at Shanghai form and im all here for it

LOUD Leader is an insane name ngl

mini, potter, kaplan
honorable mention: solo

lmao, friendly fire

people have recency bias, they tend to overrate recent achievements
we need to know that every player on every team is human, and no one can just reproduce results/achievements in a highly competitive environment

let BLG cook, we already know they got crazy upset potential

Is the finals venue big as compared to Seoul/LA?

This is so bad for nAts and TL, especially since EMEA teams have lesser time to prepare in the first place
I hope they can put up a decent performance after the roll/comp changes

Hope they do well at Toronto, and I hope we see FNC vs GEN

i hope RRQ or XLG is a dark horse too
but then again im a bit biased towards asian teams lol

those were 2 of the events that he attended in person, and the event themselves were so entertaining too
i still think when he attends the event the watch party is pretty good, because we get to see him with other creators + fan interaction
the online ones need some spicing up for sure

you are right, i forgot, it was against TH
