That is true and Itopata was a bum but not being a real duelist and still wanting to be the main duelist of your team is a problem. It's a difficult thing to deal with and clearly Lev couldn't deal with it and the problem objectively comes from his agent pool

Yeah and he's still alright, hasn't had great teams lately and is definitely not one of the best anymore but I think he'd be okay if he was still in T1 nowadays, Kamo tier or smth

D3ffo is still doing alright, Shazam went from dominating to retiring in a few years

He was, not because of his gameplay but because of the player he is

The two good Brazilian teams weren't here, what did you expect?

It means that it has BO1 opening matches, that one of the favorite teams lack their best player, that the coaches were allowed to cheat during the qualifiers and that the APAC format didn't make sense

True too

Just re-watched the SEN NRG game to qualify to Madrid and thought that we really need Tenz back, this guy's playstyle on Omen is the most unique and entertaining ever

5 is literally middle of the table

I genuinely think the real problem is the coaching staff, when I look at the directions they take in between events and games I can't think that it's not the coaching staff's fault for making such bad decisions

Molsi too good for that to happen, unironicaly a top 3 support player in emea

It's the same everywhere but getting he job is still hard asf for some reason

G2 without Leaf AND Tejo is barely middle.of the table team in Americas

Just trying to bait the famous Less fan who was talking earlier

Less couldn't 1V5 Kyedae's team sorry

They did but it was a while back iirc, saw a tutorial on how to do it again despite the changes on Twitter, don't have the link tho sorry

Pretty sure it's spring

Lmao

A baiter's alt account

I know what you are...

Wrong account buddy

Didn't you have a FPX flair like 2 days ago?

Numbers pbb don't mean anything otherwise they'd have N4RRATE out, Reduxx has been their 6th man for the whole year

???bro's just spitting nonsense

Everything is fine except for FPX

Used to be a dot only guy, but I now I use a very thin plus cross hair and it works better

Yeah that's what I'm saying, someone is 100% paying the buyout

The point in question is very poor

Tejo fucked their roles bc of Boostio's breach fetish, and they were never bad, in fact the only reason they couldn't make it to Toronto was because of a bug

Tejo fucked them hard to be fair, their roles were a mess because of that and they ended up playing weirdly on some maps. It particularly gave Zander an even harder time than he would otherwise have had. And Boostio's calling wasn't good at several moments. They seemed to have found something that was working during EWC tho. And remember that the only reason they didn't make Toronto was because of a bug

Does that make Aspas a bad player and one who should take the blame despite hard carrying his team to top 3 in Americas?

True Eeiu had a really bad start of the year for his standards and Zander hasn't been anywhere near what Bang was doing for them

Not his fault if Boostio's been fraudulent for 365 days

?I'm not talking about performance

Jett+Yoru+Iso+Chamber+Astra+Brimstone+Omen(meh)+Cypher (potentially) is a good enough agent pool for a guy who shits on the server regardless of the agent he's playing

Ain't heard you calling Aspas a jett onetrick when he was still playing jett on split in the big of 2025

GenG probably won't be able to afford the buyout

?is it supposed to be surprising?

Someone is paying Slowly's buyout before next season 100%

To me it has to be Tokyo Alfajer, having over 1.6 kd across an entire international event is the greatest performance of all time imo

Suggest>D4v4i? Just asking ✋️😐🤚

Suggest has a 0% over the last 3 years

I don't think it's interesting. Everyone has biases and it's alright, otherwise everyone would have the same top 10 and it would be boring

Going off of points to judge the quality of a team🤡

AMERICA:
G2
SEN
100T
NRG

EMEA:
FNC
LIQUID
BBL
KCORP

APAC:
PRX
GENG
T1
BOOM

CHINA:
EDG
WOLVES
XLG
NOVA

3rd and 4rth spots in Americas is extremely open, Kru or loud could go on a run at any moment, Lev theorically has what it takes to make it to champs but I don't expect them to do so. I'm going off of EWC results cuz that's the only tangible thing we have, and I wanna had that the end of the Tejo meta will show that MIBR's macro was always bad so they won't make it (also Cortezia isn't allat unfortunately)

In EMEA I'm just a TH hater, and BBL and Kcorp absolutely have what it take, KC doesn't need much explanation; the end of tejo is a blessing for them, Avez looked like he was finding his footing during EWC so the trio of him, Marteen and Suy could be disgusting. All they need is for Saadhak to lock in and it should be fine (don't even need Elite to pop off). BBL have been slightly behind Liquid for the whole year, and Sociablee on sova will push them one step further. Lewn will also have more reasons to play Jett now that tejo is dead (debuff to yoru).

In Apac I'm a T0rmi hater and I'll think T1 will pull off a SEN 2024, and big Boom believer. RRQ will crumble cuz the lack of tejo will show the world that Crazyguy was never a good igl, Jemkin and Kushy won't be able to solo carry all the deadweight they have. I hope Boom get past their C9 syndrome cuz they have what it takes imo. If DRX get Flashback (cuz some rumors say so) back they make champs.

In China EDG and Wolves should be guaranteed, I have good hope that XLG makes it, Noman will be enough and Rarga, Happywei and Viva will carry. Nova won't fuck up in playoffs an GuanG will dominate Chichoo

God forbid Rito designed a site correctly. Surely you can tolerate the fact that a site isn't a single square in the middle of a bigger square no?

Also I'm curious to know, where would Zekken and Mako be outside of that top 10?

It's doesn't matter to me. You don't need to be dropping 1.30 to be in the goat convo. I watch the games and it's enough for me to know what to think of someone (not that stats don't matter but I would never do a top list off of stats)

You realised that because all you value is stats when that doesn't make sense

Btw aspas' all time rating at internationals (excluding Shanghai cuz no rating) is 1.03 something...
