Xi Lai, please, China needs you to win this! PLEASE

... well fuck

I predicted this would be the group of death. So far it seems I'm pretty accurate

Less than 24 hours... I hope XLG is able to get at least one map or is able to push PRX at least a little. I don't think they're winning, way too big a gap in skill, but I want people to stop looking down on XLG

I'm pretty sure PRX is gonna win, but I fully believe XLG is gonna push them and give a good showing

At least, BBL has fallen. Long live the Giants!

Put an end to these frauds GX!!!

O7 Babybay, the end of an era

Welcome to VCT Americas, this is the only game that matters out of the next four.

I'm sorry to say this because it feels so mean but... Akeman needs to get whipped into shape or be fired. He has been dragging this team down the entirety of Stage 2, almost always at or near the bottom of the board, and unlike Nicc he isn't the IGL so he has no excuse. He has potential, Map 1 showed that potential, but he just can't stop feeding, can't stop whiffing, and it's hurting the entire team. He has to get consistent. He HAS to. That or he needs to be replaced.

I'm sorry... WHAT?!

Well, that was certainly... a match.

This is, uh, gonna be... mm... well it's gonna be... something...

HOW?!?!

instructions unclear, hired 5 new players /j

And with this W, DRG is officially in Champions 2025. Tyloo and AG are both eliminated, nobody can knock them from their spot now. GG everybody!

Third time's the charm!

Take them down, DRG! Go to the finals! You got this!

So, can XLG fans (and I say this as a fellow XLG fan even if I like DRG more) finally admit that DRG didn't win against them previously in a fluke? DRG and XLG, for whatever reason, seem to counter each other really well, and we see that again here. XLG definitely took their last fight with DRG seriously, they just don't diff DRG the way people seem to think

I don't want to see people bad talking NoMan, he might not have had many kills, but as far as my eyes were concerned, he got a lot of value with his abilities, those walls as Deadlock blocked off DRG SO many times! It's not all about the stats you can see!

It is now less than 24 hours until the match to end all matches. Prepare everyone.

Imagine if Leaf is still not back and they take Babybay all the way through the playoffs and win Stage 2 with him

Oh dear god this is gonna be... hoo boy if it isn't a one sided stomp, it's gonna be the most tense game in a WHILE. Might legit be more interesting than the grand final if both teams are on their A-games

I hope Babybay plays this game! Let Leaf keep resting!

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. What were they doing??? They just kept feeding! WHY?!

and DESERVEDLY so! I don't know how they fell off so badly, but they do not belong in Champs if THAT is how they are gonna play

I am so sorry XLG, I love you, but I love DRG more and they already beat you once, so you know who I gotta rep here

I love all the talon spam, really classy, not at all annoying it being so hard to find legit conversation here

Honestly, just surprised they managed to win a single map this match

I have faith! If they can beat XLG then they can beat EDG! Do it for me DRG!

I meant in group stage of T2, not the earlier ones. In this one they were 4-0 with no map losses. Also, you can see how upset XLG and their coach especially are about losing this, they are clearly not having a good time, they look like they want to win and are trying hard to but keep getting stopped. I'm not saying DRG is better, they objectively aren't, but XLG definitely wanted this W so they could be 5-0

My boys in DRG did it! Yes! This is absolutely insane! XLG's first loss to a Chinese team in the group stage and their first 2 map losses in the group stage! XLG's mental is going to be shook moving forward after this

Look at the faces of XLG as things go sideways for them, they are taking it serious, they are trying, yet they failed. This is cope of the highest caliber. Besides, they didn't need to win their fourth match either, but they took it seriously and won there, 2-0, so what makes this so different? Nothing.
