a neon comp or even say swapping to the newer meta of a Raze/Cypher is more likely than them running Jett Fade

its just the truth

was a really strong showing from mad lions to be fair

yes, ive played all gens up to gen 8 and 9 but i enjoy pretty much all gens.

25% avg, G2

SQ 2-1, LB run buff

its both meaningless and meaningful, because the winner gets an extra masters tokyo slot which could be huge for any of the 3 regions. But at the same time the tourney is more of an exhibition with it being single elims, as 16 of the 32 teams will have only played a single bo3 to show themselves off before going into their own leagues.

raze
fade
kj
omen/astra
kayo/breach

tl;dr

there is no NA anymore just americas europe and pacific

Xerxia has Alert listed twice

honestly I love the map, just take time to learn it and you'll be fine. It beats half the maps in the game already.

s0m has chemistry with FNS already and has smokes experience from early NRG. Yes he isn't as good as Marved but Marved chose not to play. Yes on paper keeping the full core and swapping yay for ardiis would be alot closer but I trust in FNS and Chets ability to bring out S0m as a better player much like how they have with many other players before. So I think it'll be okay for NRG in the long run.

That and by the sounds of it the teams chemistry is already pretty much there despite not having any matches yet, Ardiis included.

top 8 likely, them vs loud is a toss up as then its basically loud v optic 7 with slightly worse rosters overall.

Would love to see them go all the way but realistically speaking its unlikely.

i mean if the scene all of a sudden turns up they should get a league either with china or their own

LEV 3-2 LOUD first try
DRX 3-0 NAVI 2nd try

1. Mako
2. Pancada
3. Sugarzero
   HM: Mindfreak, Bang, Marved and Sscary if they were still in tier1.

Everyone agrees the matchmaking and format are shit

KJ
Raze/Neon
Omen/Astra
Fade/Breach
KAYO/Sova

Depends on the teams playstyles but these feel like the best 1-2 agents, you can go a 1-1 on a recon and flash initiator or do 2 on breach kayo as the layout of lotus needs some decent lineups for haunt and recon dart

Ardiis and s0m clear koi no cap

huge respect, common poised w

3 hardest
4 easiest

one of these 2 making over prx c9 sen and fnc is criminal

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/e52688d2
c9 prx and sen fnc hurt to predict

This is pitiful from riot. W waited FOUR FUCKING MONTHS to only be greeted by possibly the worst format for a 32 team tournament in all of esports.
I dont know who the fuck organized this but I dont know why theyre acting as if they dont have any time throughout the year so they decided on this format. If this goes through then Riot has single handedly killed ALL the hype for this tournament before its even begun.
Riot youve been spreading out Ls all over the place recently, please dont throw out a bigger one

this and c9 prx are gonna be the most heartbreaking openers

This along with sen fnc are gonna be the most painful opener matches

NRG 2-1

NA: NRG, 100T
rest of americas: LEV, LOUD
all of them are gonna be in the top 10 global enough said, C9 and SEN yeah dont look their best but every regions got its good lookin and bad lookin teams.

i like him personally, dont rlly watch his streams often but he plays with other streamers i watch.

Plus I think he's helped alot with the lineup scene (this isnt me sayin he's the ONLY one so dont mistake that) but i found other good sova lineup people thru him

Astra Omen feels like the way to go, idk if it'll be a double smoke comp though as meta. Maybe a niche portion of comps will be like with Pearl not always being double controller.

A: Pearl Fracture
B: Bind Lotus
C: Ascent Icebox Split Breeze
D: Haven
F:

ex ghost faze bums to u?

what org finna pick up the winner of this real talk

this year no, next year yes

girl kissers return

I like how it was pretty much a given what 6 teams got auto inserted to challengers

mid team, scream go carry essentially, I think they will be anywhere from like 5-8 in EU, top 15 ceiling in lock in

Sucks because he's leaving even after being a mid protagonist for 25 years, but his story is finally complete and came full circle, so its bittersweet.

Huge W for Japan and Asia as a whole. Time might be a BIT scuffed but I'm sure Riot will work it out so the rest of the world isn't watching at 4am.

Crowds will be lit

g2 but dont play ranked very much

this one right here is amazing story wise, but even better cus of booba no cap

KOI GE LEV T1 VIT

just go in with zero expectations and you'll never be let down.

Fnatic historically have choked. Thats just factual, whether it changes this year will be a wait n see like all 29 other teams in the league.

S tier: FaZe, SR, TGRD, M80
A tier: TSM, G2, OXG
B tier: Soniqs, DR, ex-Soar, City Boys,

• Tex, JoshRT for The Guard should be huge
  Mitch finding a home in OXG is good

do not disrespect Jamalesh "Hazed" Cobbanath like that. #2s take was pretty accurate.

northwood michigan pride

1. TGRD
2. FAZE
3. SR
4. M80
5. G2

Shownu, as an NRG fan I don't wanna disagree but kindly don't try to start more regional argument bullshit please and ty

1 NRG/100T
2 NRG/100T

3. SEN
4. LOUD
5. C9
6. LEV
7. EG
8. FURIA
9. KRU
10. MIBR

The gap between the top 3 is minimal because well, we havent seen SEN or NRG play yet but on paper and previously Optic > 100T so
