MIBR played well today but it was honestly just the Aspas-Cortezia Show. Not a reliable way to say a whole team is looking good though.

Ignore my comment. Just checked stats and supamen hasn't even been close to the highest rated but for some reason I remember him being really good.

I like EG's roster but it doesn't feel like they have an X-factor that makes them stand out from the rest. Supamen might be the only consistently good player on the team.

Assuming G2 and SEN secure 1st and 2nd in playoffs?

He'll have to be more if they want Top 2. That's the only way 100T makes Champs, right?

Ty

Is qualification based on Champs points first and then the 2 best playoffs teams or the other way around?

No overloading the wagon until we're guaranteed Champs.

Only reason he MIGHT join 100T is if SEN "drops" him which is highly unlikely since he's arguably their best player and even one of the best in VCT Americas.

imagine its so bad that everyone on 100T goes -10 or something
might push me to the edge instantly and i'm very far from the edge

a risk worth taking cuz even if they somehow made it out of group stage with boostio, there was little to no chance they make it to champs. They still might not make it but atleast there's a chance if Kess fits in quickly, 100t can qualify.

not from the video exactly but i do remember from some comms videos that eeiu was mid-rounding more often than boostio so it probably won't be that big of a problem

also 13-0 which ended with dropping 2 new players after 2 games

As I replied to someone else, I'm not defending Asuna. He plays whatever role the team needs but he is an average player who pops off on a map once in a while. If they can find a good replacement, they should. But Boostio is a much bigger problem atp.

I'm not even defending Asuna. If they can get a better replacement for him, they should. But replacing Boostio is much needed.

I swear people just hate on Asuna because he hasn't won a trophy with 100T. If you just look at this roster like it is now, it's pretty clear Boostio is the standout problem. It's literally the NRG FNS problem and Boostio isn't even as good as FNS as an IGL and he can't shoot back. If they get a decent enough IGL who can shoot at par with the other pros, 100T might actually cause some damage.

And people will continue to blame Asuna for the team's shortcomings.

no hope on 100T? :(

If you're gonna point out that TL lost to KC, then MiBR also lost to NRG and 100T. I highly doubt MiBR wins Toronto.
Even G2 almost lost to 100T and "EG".

I only saw on the Liquipedia page that the Phase 2 will be streamed and nothing about Phase 1. But from the EWC site, it sends you to a FaceIT page. Maybe the games will be streamed there? I only know about FaceIT from watching ALGS so idk whats gonna happen.

Will Phase 1 qualifiers not be streamed? Or there just isn't any information yet?

They'll hopefully end up doing better now. We might see more of Boostio on sentinels (which is more comfortable for him) now that Tejo is gone. Zander started showing up near the end of the split. Cryo is Cryo. Asuna will always do what needs to be done. Really just depends if eeiu is back in form.

If they're good enough to beat G2, they're more than good enough to beat EG.

Clear as day bug with the Vyse ult at 11-8 and Riot ain't gonna take responsibility for a game changing moment. 100% scammed out of a 100T win.

Lost because of the Vyse ult bug at 11-8

give NRG time to drop him then we get FNS Toronto watch parties

We're about to witness peak performance Cryocells, 2024 Initiator of the Year eeiu, prodigy Asuna, M80 Zander and EG 2023 Boostio, the greatest piggy to have existed.
If not, G2 2-0 100T.

You wanna talk shit about other teams, talk your shit but NRG being Masters caliber team is a big no no

which one's poop tho?

its G2/SEN next so hold your horses

now we need eeiu to perform like Initiator of the Year and they might show some life in the next game

Kinda unfair if they have to restart. Atleast KC will have more time to prep the remaining 2 maps.

Sherlock (one of my all-time favourites)

will the games be played tomorrow now?

nah C9 is better than EG

Comps dont even feel like the issue anymore. Feels like someone (or more) has a rigid idea on how to approach the game (which isn't working) and is making everyone follow through with it. Whoever that is should be changed.
Also, the IGLing or mid-rounding is a big hit-or-miss.

Probably gets him out of T1 atleast

Bang had the potential to take over in a game and was a good anchor and equally good aggressor when he needed to be for the team. Zander so far hasn't been either.

Never underestimate 100T's ability to disappoint

Listed all the main problems. Coach goes, Boostio goes and maybe even Zander goes.

I'm pissed off but I hope 100T loses so they realize that they need a big change right tf now.

Zikz and Boostio mainly

i apologize

If they've been a mess for "years", this is the point to stop cutting slack. It's almost the same team as last year and they've only gotten worse. Changes are definitely needed.

they keep Cryo at the very least but if they dont make some moves after playoffs, there's no hope left

there's nothing constructive about this lol

The meta just doesn't suit him anymore

I always knew bang was the better player and he actually played on the same wavelength as the rest of 100T.

Boostio definitely should be replaced, Zander if he keeps underperforming and maybe even Zikz (or back to AC) coz idek what he's coaching them to do anymore.
