Normally, yes. However, these games decide 2/3 of NA's berlin teams so I definitely think they should be streamed separately to allow us to watch them both live.

They didn't watch their flanks and just died to flanks a ton

Ur baits are bad....

yeah but when Yay wasn't crushing at the beginning they spammed L diablo and then he crushed them. Just funny 2 me

Yeah, Envy are looking way more practiced and are playing well as a team. I'm disappointed in Tsm's preparation

Why did TSM fans jinx themselves like that LOL. In all honestly, the fact that NV is looking this well integrated with Yay makes me really excited to see them play Sen

RIP

This game is perfectly showing why Sen is so good, all 5 players can frag well and can each make their own pushes all over the map

C9B seem to be like Gambit (Really good in scrims, getting upset in some officials)

Sen are still looking dominant but Envy has assembled some serious fragging power w/ FNS as a strong IGL they could be very good, TSM is on the rise rn and they could be very competitive now that they have had some more time as a squad

The Astra Viper dominance due to the post-plant meta has ended. Teams run a wider variety of comps but Jett and Sova are still very powerful and are run in most comps. I think this meta is better and more interesting

I mean I am American.... just got Indian blood

Wow a Final that isn't GE vs Velocity. EZ for GE

BR was highly rated going into Iceland and the fans were also cocky but they have all calmed down and I don't see people rating Brazil highly anymore, IMO most overrated region rn has to be Turkey because of the fanbase and hype around SMB which seems a little unfounded

IDK, V1 and Liquid both highly rated VKS but Sen said that VKS got destroyed by them and VKS clearly struggled if they tried to adjust to meta. Was probably bait by Liquid just like the "NA is predictable" comment after being down 13-0 in a scrim vs Sen

Giants vs Liquid rematch, Liquid win it again 2-1

I mean the talent is pretty clearly there and I feel that given his ability to perform in t2(exemplified today vs Virtuoso), some teams should definitely take the chance

Yeah, he was a free agent for so long it just seems like NA orgs arent that good at talent scouting or they just don't care lol

Governor* But I really think some teams like LG could get way better w/ Governor and it is a waste for him to pursue content creation, unless he really prefers that...

Governer, the Jett main who most recently played for EZ5, is currently signed to BBG for content. This honestly feels like the same kind of waste as Tenz doing content for C9 given the kind of potential this man has shown( one of the top NA jetts): https://www.vlr.gg/player/3980/governor . Thoughts about this?

Last game for this roster, lets go out on a high note! EZ5 3-1 Good Guys Virtuoso #EZ4EZ5

The (official) match that pax arena stole from us is back!! EZ5 2-0

yeah, w/ the continued isolation of Australia, the OCE teams won't be able to travel to NA to compete from nearby so ping is gonna be a big issue. I believe ping to NA is like 150 which is unplayable so i'm interested to see what riot do...

I see the esport scene being a lot larger with the mobile gaming space being the biggest by far(outside of NA/EU). I think the number of esports might drop a bit cause of economic viability, but the strong ones like Valorant, League and COD will grow and be just as big revenue wise as leagues like the MLS

I think that Dcop said recently that he -for the first time- fully believed in the roster. I'm hoping they stay together because they have a lot of potential to be a top 10 squad and not just go for the individual deals.

1) This is beta ranking that is being reworked
2) NA below sentinels has been chaotic and it seems that the levels are pretty close

Best NA team to ever do it (Major winning C9 is good but they peaked for one tourney and then collapsed)

They are a f/a team not an org, though I hope that they are the next team to find an org

I agree w/ the region split. I would want ACE, G2, SMB, GAMBIT cause that way we get to have an even more international lan

Unfortunate that What's going on had to face such a good team so early on. #Ez4Ez5

EZ5 w/ the EZ cinderella run yall didnt see coming
Next stop: Berlin

#Justice4Dcop

If they wanted viewers they shouldn't have done my boy DCop dirty...

Here is the clip where he confirms it: https://clips.twitch.tv/KindPopularSandstormWow-w4hI2h-3fnBjD4Q7

completely agree

I mean the rules did say US + Canada but the fact that they let Dcop play till the ub-finals and then dqed him and his team is just complete mismanagement on the part of the to

Update: Virtuoso are an absolute class act and decided to forfeit as well due to the circumstances instead of just taking the free win so now we just have to see what the organizer decides to do.

For those who don't know, ez5 is having to forfeit the ub-final -and possibly the whole tourney- because Dcop is mexican
