this is the first clip that i was like oh that felt good.

Who’s real and who’s not in NA. I’ve never seen teams be more up and down. Feels like all 8 teams are legit love to get top 3 and qual

Shopify legit trolling in a final. Not a serious team.

You must win or your out. Sen and NRG have head to head vs you and they play each other.

I think it’s a good weapon skin, don’t care for the melee much, player card is dope but I’m not a fan of the weapon shooting or kill sound personally.

Welp G2 vs T1 means I can’t go 4/4 on Pickens. Unlucky 😔 yall Pickens still live for going perfect?

Guess it’s not just ranked where clove’s are thanos

I think waylay is fine they should just nerf the size of the slow bubble a little. And she needs to maybe need a bit longer delay in being able to pull out her gun after double dashing so shotgun refracting isn’t soooo easy.

It’s true brother Kaplan apparently didn’t want zekken back or johnqt to IGL

Which BO5 was your fav this week, felt like a ton of bangers. My fav was the M8 win over fanatic. Reverse sweep bunch of OT’s and marteen just going nuclear.

Two of these guys aren’t making it to Santiago, one of G2/MIBR will make it, but somebody with high expectations is getting left out. Dunno who it would look worse for the “super team” or the reigning champs winners to miss out. Or both if 100T pulls off some upsets obv.

Ion how are we -30 on duelist while being on 9 ping bs everyone else on like 40 ping. Just might be a team build issue/coaching but these roles just won’t workout vs the better constructed teams.

He seem so good now, a 20 second smoke and you wait 10 seconds after for another 20 second smoke. Wall is improved, info piece of utility that nearsights. And his ult can now be used to flush in or wall off for like a spike defuse. Kinda nutty

Glad they bounced back under the circumstances instead of crumbling. Very respectable play from them after what felt like a disastrous series vs vitality and start today.

There def gonna leave the scene again after one split aren’t they 💀

Damn M80 bros might be washed

Any reason poor performing teams shouldn’t make roster changes to fix role issues or swap out a poor performer after kickoff? Is there any instances of teams who started the year bad, changed nothing and improved a significant amount?

I guess if you have a very young roster and it’s more about the talent but there seems to be an excess of really good players in tier 2 and even some tier 1 guys just not on a team.

I would say my favs are in this order

Doombringer
White oni phantom
Primordium
Teal soveirgn
Champs 2024

Muddy 12 First bloods on map 1 is wild

I just don’t see them flopping, don’t know if they win a lan this year but flopping…I just think bonkar is to good of a coach for this team to have any sort of fall off.

I will go with Verno

NFL: chiefs
MLB: royals
Soccer: just team USA or England during the World Cup
College sports: Penn State
NBA: no team but I live in LA so for now the lakers

Zelda breath of the wild/tears of the kingdom
Dark souls 1 and 3
Sekiro
Elden ring
God of war 2018
Lies of P
Minecraft but modded

Was hoping for a little different stuff. I gotta play him but would have liked to see him have two smokes but the ability to use his second smoke to turn his first one into a cove or use it as a smoke instead so he’s a more viable solo smoker. Not really sure if this rework does much for him overall but I could be wrong.

What would it matter TSM is losing there coach IGL and duelist to 100T reportedly. Both teams are cooked regardless.

I feel like the only team would be 100T unless G2 dropped jawg for zekken and idk if I see that happening.

Gaia
Prelude
Prime
Primordium
Valiant hero

I used to deathmatch a lot and def faced pro’s in DM. At the start of this year I would get s0m and FNS in death matches at like 10-11pm at night

No I didn’t but I was with the Air Force and worked with Lockheed Martin on F-22 supply chain operations

I work for the space force as a defense contractor

Looks like everyone is going to be set to inactive and will probably have to go through trialing to get back on 100T or be fully released once a team is built. Wonder what coach there gonna target.

Wow they are actually like hard resetting. You think there going the EG route and just going to bargain shop and save money?

Haven
Ascent

1)Rank - gold 1

2)Crosshair
Normal cyan crosshair (not dot)

3)top 5 agents played this act
Sova, raze, cypher, deadlock, clove

4)Fav pro(VCT I dont watch GC that much)
Jawgemo

5)U like tapping or sprraying
Spray mostly

Sova, raze, and it’s prob a tie between cypher/deadlock at 3 although I prefer deadlock if it’s a good map. I try to avoid smokes at all cost.

Gold 1 although i don’t really play ranked much. Got like 15 career ranked games

Yea, I’m not sure if other regions are Odin users to the extent NA is since I don’t get to watch them often. But it is a bit concerning seeing more and more Odin play lately especially on lotus and corrode

Is lotus just the best overall pro play map? Feel like it’s the most balanced map I’ve seen and teams seem to be allowed a decent amount of comp diversity.

Imagine prx lose the final tonight and the group is like liquid prx Sen and the 4th seed from china. I mean somebody is gonna have a death group.

How would you order the importance of building your team from most important to least important:

Star duelist who can play multiple agents
Elite coaching staff (head coach/assistant coach)
Best flex player
Top IGL who can shoot back
Sentinel with great timings/setup understanding
Controller but he’s famous and brings views/money to the team
Cracked initiator who never flashes his own team
Other/your own priorities

Fun series, hoping for an oxy pop off but would just love some good series this weekend lol

Where does canezerra rank vs past tier 2 or under 18 prospects all time before we knew how good they would be in tier 1. Would you put him number 1, or behind guys like oxy and zekken when they were prospects.
