wait wasn't it reported by multiple outlets during the franchising craze that it was supposed to be 6 NA? was it maybe cleared up later that it always was 5?

I remember the rumours being Leviatan, but either way DEFINITELY one of the South American orgs, not an NA org

Yeah thought so as well, def one of the LATAM/BR teams got the G2 slot

Not to forget that s1mple, even after countless AWP nerfs, is still the best. Consistently

They did say it though, just in a corpo way

and also the multiple viper's pits in OT lmao
well played from furia I was SCREAMING for fnatic to win it

what they cookin?

it changed back to what it was lmao what they cooking

the most factual statement I've read all week

And raze's ult is still broken in the it's-bad way
Shit doesn't kill unless you're shooting the rocket on their nose

Kek

Yeah but not in lock//in dummy

2

too true, it hurts

y'all be forgetting about the "part 1" part of the title + the last part of the article

why are you getting downvoted you are correct kek

they are putting him on main roster, in the sense that he will be playing the most, zest is sixth man now (as stax said in the video)

1070

I agree, even though the other teams are very capable, these 3 are just above the others in their side of the bracket I think

WWWW
Super nice to see!

Glenn the 🐐 winning XMG Off-Season with esports cologne

I actually have Lev in top 8, just losing to navi, but honestly they've been really good in the past I don't see why they couldn't make it to top 4

Big W for both, I was already wondering why it took so long to see him signed

Wait it says on screwface's twitter he's igling for EG
According to the vlr page, boostio is also igl is that correct?
I love this idea of a 10-man roster, get 2 teams, scrim each other, let the tier 2 players gain experience to become true tier 1 players.

Yeah think so too, but there might be a chance for one of the others to not have made it and there being gambit instead

Bro living in 2021 💀

NRG, DRX or Cloud9 from Alpha
Liquid, Navi or Fnatic from Omega
I'm just gonna say DRX and Navi just because they are the teams with the least changes, and I feel like Fnatic will need more prep to win.

I will be wrong for sure like pretty much everyone, anything can happen in single elim.

Watch it be BBL vs RRQ 🤣😭

W

they could've just done day one only upper bracket all BO3
day 2 all lowers BO3, showmatch BO1, finals BO3
not complaining to be clear I just think it's weird in general to have a BO3 for a showmatch

counter

weird to have a BO3 showmatch in the first place, and then the upper finals having been BO1?
still gonna be fun to watch though

W Hudson, just wanna point out that you missed poegi joining sector one, you only mentioned 4 players.

• Idk if you didn't include monsterrr in the acend one because he was already on the team, but beastmode is sixth player and monsterrr main roster.
  Thanks for the update love ya ❤️

Damn the SMB roster that went to Berlin went hard ngl

They mean won't be able to watch bc of time zone difference

Real thom???

Thanks, this should be in the article as without this info it doesn't seem to make any sense at all

apparently his contract with Acend still stands and KOI is waiting until it expires soon.
That's why they've announced 4 players not 5

He still has it, check his Twitter
It's G2 LFT OXY now

Factual statement

Isn't the whole point of the tournament that it boasts the "home ground" format for quarter/semi/grands?
As in if you are 2-0 up (so you won your and your opponents map pick ("home ground") you win, but if it's 1-1 it becomes a BO5?
That's at least how it was last year

Unfortunately Skye is doomed for EP 6 as they're taking away her two actual viable maps, bind and breeze

fair enough, thanks for clarifying!
I'd understand a fine or smth but suspended for the finals is just sad tbh :(

For anyone asking what he did, it's just a middle finger towards C9...
Literally what Derke, Boaster, Nukkye and so many others did before without any consequence

thanks everyone for the clarification :)

Can anyone tell me what "Godsquad" stands for with GE?
I saw it earlier in other tournaments too but never knew what it meant.
I guess it's to describe what players from the roster will play?
If so who is playing?

BCJ WWWWW

Interested to see how this roster meshes with the all-french speaking players!

Idk if the article got edited, but it literally says Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.
Also Team Spirit never has been punished like Virtus.Pro and Gambit have, idk why but there's probs a good reason for it. Anyways it would make sense for Spirit to join now with the 2023 season

they said they will get more staff in their announcement video, just hasn't been announced yet who that will be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhnP2b12pHQ&t=319s
