Lose the next?

Allez KC

Why would you want that?
You're gonna get that so many times anyways in Americas

Yeah I said it could only be a 2-0 KC or 2-1 Prx no other scoreline possible

I hope they both run the Prx comp with Harbor

If Paper Rex wins both pistols again it's GG

Paper Rex v Paper Rex 2.0

These guys own emea on pistols

Life game against Fnatic 💔

Let him learn tho

Pistol should win them this game but even without they should still win so please win at least 1 pistol on map 3

Monyet is French bro chill

KC please win a pistol

yeah we don't win those

well not even that

Paper Rex obvious thrifty win to close it out

Even out of form they would read Paper Rex like a book and stomp them

even arrived at the venue yet?

Loud chill out

Can Loud beat them?
Good Sunset, decent on Jett maps and good Bind so I think they for sure can

Honestly both matches can go either way

I fear they won't deliver if they do it's gonna be Gambit 2.0 type beat

We will never know but of course EG looked a lot better than Fnatic but match-ups matter and it was gonna be a BO5 where individuals could've made the difference on the day

you indeed sound braindead my friend but that has nothing to do about my point.

facts when it's a straight up lie good one

Loud is another one of those teams that would've beaten our teams based on experience

???????????????????????????????
Now you're just lying

It's pure facts what are you on brother?

Have you lived under a rock?

There's way too many examples of the best team in the world not being able to win an event because they lack experience in the big moments as I mentioned above

I only went for 6 but yeah Giantx also look better than them

Prx 2-1 KC

(Winner of KC v PRX)

Nah TL isn't even top 6 in EMEA anymore

KC
TH
Fnc
Fut
Navi
Vitality

EMEA: Fnatic, KC and Heretics (Vitality dark horse to make it)

Americas: NRG, Lev, Loud (Sen will make champs and play at their best again but will fail to make Shangai could be Loud as well)

China: EDG, FPX and BLG (BLG coming for NRG specifically)

Pacific: Gen.G, PRX, aaah don't know Drx or T1 i'll go Drx fuck it they get back to the international stage.

name checks out

Didn't even try to read

Nah international events are a whole new stage (some of the best of all time have crumbled there because of experience diff (Loud v Optic masters grand finals for example, Acend/Gambit v 100T, EG v Fnatic etc.)
Yeah Karon is a demon but Miniboo and Riens also played like demons but they just weren't on the winning team unfortunately

Madrid would get called mickey mouse anyways if EMEA wins

I mean I'm gonna be pissed asf if Fnatic doesn't change their comps and the way they play like I really don't mind them not making Madrid as long as they can show their best for the rest of the year now

Time time time but Fnatic ain't using it seems

Some of the most experienced cores lost in every single region
Optic core
Drx core
JDG (RA core)
Fnatic
NAVI

need the individuals to step up
I've never been Marteen mess up his util so badly as against Sen
Never seen N4rrate make a 0iq play like against Sen
Never seen a worse performance out of Tomaszy
Shin was his clutch self
Magnum inconsistent but understandable as the IGL

Wow they lost a single BO3 my shock

but win champs
fair trade

It's not over yet brother

KC about to be Gambit 2.0 (Hopium)
Their individuals have not been the same I can't lie hope they turn it on or else Prx are gonna knock them out

Gets overlooked so badly

All 3 of our world champions experienced a loss at the hands of a more experienced team to then bounce back for Champs and win it

Acend crumbled literally crumbled against 100T with their CS veterans and then got their shit together and won champs (no more cNed and friends)

Loud had 2 map bans in their finals against Optic but in the rounds that mattered they failed and lost 3-0 -> Masters a big ass failure -> Champions winner against the team that beat them 3-0 and this time they won those rounds that won them the maps. (Pancada and Less looked like different players)

EG got straight up outclassed by Fnatic once their Fracture was removed -> back to the drawing board got their shit together (their map pool) and won champions avoiding the reverse sweep from Loud and overcoming two map bans from a team that beat them earlier in the tournament in Paper Rex (Their players unlocked a different form at champions that wasn't possible with that experience)

Wo0t not be shocked if a team like Heretics does something similar this year not at all

Experience gets so overlooked man it's insane

Fucking Loud the so called best roster of all time got 3-0'd by Optic while having 2 map bans because their players crumbled under the light whereas Optic had been under those lights as Envy (3-0 loss v Gambit).
Once Loud gained that experience and got reality checked the next masters they got back up to win Champions over that same team that 3-0 them and in 2 of those maps that hey won came in that grand final it came down to inches (the maps that they would've lost at masters because they lacked the experience)

Acend crumbled against 100T at masters a team with far more experience than them then came back in champions after some controversy to win the first champions.

EG got reality checked by Fnatic in Tokyo and with that experience under their belt they came into Champions prepared for anything and they damn won it.

Would not be surprised if a team like Heretics wins an international trophy this year

it didn't make them worse they just didn't have the experience on it and definitely not compared to teams like Sen and Prx that have insane amounts of experience.

Heretics could've won both of the series they played in 2-0 fashion but they crumbled in the high pressure situations if they can learn from this they will be a force in the future

Heretics didn't + play with a sub + play with Riens on his own.

Heretics is gonna become even better with Wo0t

Take the wins while you can

They've got that experience in the bag now + Wo0t is coming in so they're gonna own in the future

Hope 4 x 1 would be nice

Prx time to shine?

Lol do you want us to call Madrid a mickey mouse tournament like you guys do when we win?
It's not a mickey mouse tournament and the Americas teams at the tournament have the edge over our teams in terms of experience and mid-rounding i will give you that but overall EMEA has definitely become a contender for Americas this year not only Fnatic

need to win a trophy first

We'll never know but you guys were definitely our kryptonite

Now or never

Let's see if they can be Gambit 2.0

I genuinely felt like I was the only one that saw it
