Good luck, we'll be rooting for you! (Please run the pearl comp 🙏)

EG 10 man roster pt 2

I would like to issue an apology to the queen bobsta I was not familiar with her game being like this

fr its so awkward 😭
normally I dont watch watchparties but no casters is def an exception

Mr. Funhaver is watchpartying his match, and subroza is watchpartying tsm, idk about this one tho

BOBSTA THE QUEENNN

let them in so canzera can do that again

yea im a fan on the top gen smoke, in the vod I was talking about bang threw it pistol round and i love using it whenever my hard entry dies. Do you still use it when your jett is alive tho?

hi primmiemuncher
Pretty w idea tho, reminds me of duolingo leaderboard or plants vs zombies 2 BattleZ

How often do y'all smoke heaven on a site ascent attack? (Perferably omen/astra mains, i know there's the double brim smoke heaven im not talking about that one). Ik the tree one is much more important to prioritize, so if you're working mid and use a smoke for that you won't have one for heaven, plus I've heard some people say its just not a good smoke. I was just re-watching a 100T vs SEN vod an it looked like they were tossing it about 33% of the time so I wanted to ask how often y'all throw it in ranked, and what scenarios you do.

Apparently I’ve heard his Spanish wasn’t the best so there were some comms issues with it, sucks for Krü tho cuz he is cracked

Stopped reading at “”
I can’t read

Idk what the projects about, but if you need some help here are some interesting flag facts:

1. If you notice every central american flag looks very similar, with blue on top and bottom with white in the middle with some symbol or stars or sthm, and this is because they all were based on the Federal Republic of Central America's flag, which was based on the Argentinian flag. When the country broke apart, this caused for there to be a ton of central american countries with similar flags
2. If you look at the flag of Romania and Chad, you'll notice that they are basically the exact same. There's a bunch of videos like this which talk about it but basically every country that used be a part of the eastern bloc (ussr version of nato, but more puppet states), took the emblem off their flag which represented communism, but chad's flag was already set in place so they have the same one now.
3. A lot of african countries use the sameish color scheme, because they were all based on the old flag of ethiopia. During colonization, almost all of africa was colonized except for ethiopia and liberia (liberia is debatable, was kinda under the US's protection), so a lot of the countries when they gain independence used inspiration from ethiopia.
4. Indonesia and monaco have very similar flags as well. This is because Monaco adopted their flag way before indonesia got independence from the dutch, but the indonesia flag was based on the "Majapahit Kingdom" which based theirs on the "Jayakatwang of Kadiri Kingdom", so when monaco asked indonesia refused to change it

I dont wanna do my research and form an educated opinion can u just tell me who's in the right and who's in the wrong pls! ^-^

This site is def not a good place to be, so if part of that is why then its a good thing, but don’t do it because the loud minority said some baits

So long CanadaMan, will miss seeing the DRG flair o7

i had no flair for a while but now I just use this because :3

Well well well

These are not random ahh tier 3s tho😭 trust in plug is blinn core which is pretty high T2, only T3 team is washed and probably would be T2 if ion was old enough and 2 of their players weren’t on rankers

Yea sen is my biggest one I'm unsure about (I'm even watching the platoon vid about it rn 😭). Some of this stuff with roles makes me believe it was kap who cooked up the deadlock and not drew, which worries me a bit, so sen is likely to be hit or miss. For upgrade though, it's important to remember what we're comparing them to. Sen was the 3rd best team in the world last year (imo, GenG and TH are 1-2 and edg 4), so to say it's an upgrade is a hugeeee bold statement to make

I think I wanna watch a couple unsensoreds if they posted them to see N4rrates calls, because it's also important to realize if they do him and zekken on the initiator/duelist swap he'll be calling less while on duelist, we gotta see how it goes tho, very hit or miss for sure

nono don't get me wrong he probably is, esp considering he wants to play in Tier 1 and EG wants him + no bleed buyout anymore, and he didnt play in groups in stage 3 with LS, I just mean it's not confirmed and there's no credible leaks like there are with many roster changes

lemonade stand, T2 NA team with cavern in it, but somebody just posted yay's tracker with him duoing with some EG people so it looks like EG yay could still happen

technically not confirmed, but basically so (from 99% true leaks)

YAYYYYYYYYY ^_^

shhhhh im trying not to jinx them

I ate them 😔I'm sorry

TW: ALLAT

Now that rostermania is pretty much over, here are my final results (not doing every team btw, I know a lot more about americas than everywhere else):
-----------------------------------AMERICAS-----------------------------------
NRG - WIN, mada and verno w pickups, looking like the top team or a top 2 team rn in americas, bonkar pretty w as well
G2 - WIN, even such a small change of duelist bumps them up a ton, def top team or top 2 team
SEN - Slight loss, this one I am so unsure about. We need to understand that this is still offseason, but idk what they are cooking. Bang and N4rrate are great, but this hasn't been looking good, for SEN and their players lets hope this is just offseason testing and they're not gonna stay like this. These events have really shown how much SEN lost when they lost tenz and sacy
Lev - LOSS, no hate to Demon1 but he hasn't played in like 6 months and hasn't played well since 2023, losing aspas hurt
100T - slight loss, Don't get me wrong, I am a huge zander fan but that's not why they're losing. I have them as a loss because they had a huge role problem last year which they did not fix, which is Asuna on raze. He is great on flex, but his raze was just not it, and picking up a player like jawg or monyet who can play smokes and raze would've been huge, as asuna could go to flex and Cryo and the new pick up can share duelist + smokes. It's only a slight loss because they maintained a core of 4 players which is huge, plus zander fits in with a lot of players already. Additionally zikz could be cooking some role changes like cryo off smokes or putting Asuna on neon so ima let them cook.
mibr - HUGE WIN, I don't need to explain this one, glad they finally spent money
C9 - Slight win, idk if this is a hot take or not, because they looked great at RBHG and trash at Sen city classic. I think V1c is a great player, but if you compare him to many Tier 1 smokes in NA he doesn't really clear any, plus they went for Rossy instead of Stellar so they have pretty big IGL problems probably. Even still, these players are great so they definetly improved but it's hard for me to see them winning anything
Krü - Loss, I'm gonna give them the pass on dropping heat because apparently his comms may have not been the best considering the language barrier, but the reason im giving them the loss is because THEY FUMBLED SAADHAK, like istg he wouldve been so huge for them and they fumbled so hard
EG - TBD, We still don't really know what's happening, I would've assumed they would keep yay because of his performance, but apparently there were rumors of him scrimming with LS? So idk, but probably a loss because of losing jawg, unless they can pull out another Demon1 or sthm
LOUD - LOSS, Again self explanatory, they lost Less and Saadhak
-----------------------------------EMEA-----------------------------------
VIT - WIN, Don't need to explain, but I think they are a bit overhyped considering the igl issue
TH - WIN, even though dropping miniboo would've been tempting, a core of 5 players is a win in my book
FNC - LOSS, idk what they're coooking, losing hiro derke and mini
KC - LOSS, even tho +saadhak is great, N4rrate was so good on them esp during madrid
TL - LOSS, even tho their changes look good, they could've done so much better considering all their options, way to fumble the bag (im sorry nats and pati)
NAVI - LOSS, same as TL, but I'm giving points for happy and I'm dropping those points again for koalanoob, good luck having a duelist who cant play raze or neon
KOI - LOSS, Same as last 2, could've done so much (what happened to KOI Demon1😭)
APEKS - LOSS, Not their fault, they lost their best players to teams with more money, flor is kinda a good pickup imo because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain so such a risky pickup is pretty good
-----------------------------------APAC-----------------------------------
T1 - WIN, WAY TO COOK T1, I believe in y'all, nice pickups
DRX - EVEN, just cuz Mako is no longer IGL, losing buzz and foxy9 is not good tho
GenG - LOSS, losing meteor HURTS, and I would've even been fine with keeping Lakia just because having a core of 5 players is great, but thats just not how it went
PRX - EVEN, normally I give points for keeping a core, but they have problems they need to fix like recon and senti and igl so I'm not giving points
TALON - EVEN, same as above, I would've given points for keeping core but Primmie is being held down and they didnt pick up sScary
DFM - WIN, tbh i dont even know what they did but its working 😭 glad meiy isnt being held down now
-----------------------------------CN-----------------------------------
EDG - WIN, im gonna give these struggles recently to just offseason events, glad a champs winning roster didnt implode finally
FPX - Loss I cant go into this too much because I'm not the best at CN, but from what I've heard and seen there were so many better changes to make, not #2 in CN anymore

Edit: Fixed typo in 100T

fr he's already #3

https://www.vlr.gg/416990/is-talon-s-duelist-a-cow

that match had 3 subs I don't think we an judge performance based off that (not saying losing their to players didnt hurt tho, they def do not look like a top half emea team (sorry flor))

yea definetly, plus the games are all in chinese (although we might be getting an English co-casting soon 🤞) and the timezones suck for non china viewers. I personally think I watched more china games in 2024 than apac and I still think I know more about apac than China 😭

Is left to right in order or is it just each tier?

for sure apac, with geng, drx, prx, t1, dfm, talon (I personally dont agree with talon but i've heard it from some people for some reason), and zeta all look like they could qualify to an international, the skill gap between the top teams in that region is very small, while other regions look like they have very clear winners at the top or a big gap between them

(not saying apac is better than other regions, just in terms of skill gap between top half teams)

no

that

LIFT

this post isnt about Riot Games's League Of Legends >:(

1.74 times thee density of lead, so pretty cool solid 8.5/10

i think he doesnt want to anymore

probably https://www.vlr.gg/player/452/erik

idk what a politcal thriller is but "The boys" is a pretty good politcal commentary and "How to become a tyrant" is a pretty good politcal docu-series

Once

Were the last ones for americas awards or vct awards? It sounds like VCT but based on the players listed in looks like Americas

OFFSEASON

nope you're the president now 🫡
