i highly doubt him being an analyst is his full time job lol. he might be paid in cookies and bredcrumbs or putin body pillows or any number of worthless things

Saadhak is indistinguishably the best player in the world. He does the role of Coach and Player in the year of 2024 while also having very good aim

also apoth with the 59% kast lmao

i don't think he only does lineups but thats probably a huge part of his role, if you look at his twitter a bunch of his posts are videos for lineups

ok im comfortable putting M8 above koi on my list now lol, I still think they'd lose to KRU

vladkor aint a yes men he's just a lineup larry

bro im ngl i read what u put wrong

i think there is a tier gap between 20 and 21 on your list(g2 would roll GiantX for instance), KRU played really well vs G2 the first time(idfk what happened the 2nd time ngl), and i think they'd beat M8 because that team lacks the experience against a team like KRU to know how to beat them(fast paced SA team). I meant to say KRU beats 2 of those teams not 3, they'll beat 1 of Liquid and KOI but those 2 games are really 50-50s
Lev looks incohesive as fuck on some maps, sean or sliggy highlighted it when watching them. I'd pick LEV to beat those teams today, in 2 weeks potter, ziks, and boostio will improve their teams past Lev's growth which i think will be very slow. I'd also put LEV above FUT because again the cohesion is too low and FUT being a turkish team could easily breakthrough the fragile wall of Lev on maps and just win off of that
also u haven't mentioned the navi part yet

stop calling him kermit lmfgoaofaofo i can't

before this ethan had no real experience as an igl in matches (vs C9 and Furia don't count those teams suck) so this should be a wakeup call that he can improve from a lot

in the first game, they played similar
I whole heartedly believe in wyatt's law and picked M8 to win the 2nd matchup, so to me this is just M8 couldn't capitalize on wyatt's law more than anything

have a good day dude

GenG down
PRX up (note this is in 2 weeks for madrid, monyet(the weak link) should be comfortable by then
Lev down
26-33 is fine
22-25 needs reshuffling kru would beat 3 of those teams
15-20 no problems
1-5 no problems
Navi down a lot too they played koi and liquid, both bottom 10 teams

they lost to a team with a sub 4-1 over 2 series lol, you also only have them 4 spots higher which isn't "WAY HIGHER"

they've shown nothing besides losing to a team with a sub twice, they are definitely worse than koi who is 2 spots above them. I could definitely see them above talon thoguh

i have faith in ethan to step up his sub-par igling, and 100T is a relatively new team these 2 weeks mean more to them than most teams

he had the best debut series not debut event lol. N4rrate and marteen had way better debut events than him.... which is a fact

i am literally not a demon1 fan at all lol

ur just trying to make others seem dumb by "falling for the bait" its really dumb and i only reply with bait to other bait

the old japanese rosters have tons,
H1ber
a lot of players from Lock\in but we prob excludng that right

yall really don't got faith in ethan huh

what does this mean the only Brit who has done anything in val is boaster

boo already stopped performing in the grand finals though lol .79 rating

if anybody can tear kc's comps apart its saadhak

its definitely not the least competititve because of lock\in, but early on tournaments will generally be the least competitive bc most teams are new

maybe

3 rookies in EMEA alone had a better rating in kickoff than keiko... he had 1 amazing map lol

but his igling seems to be the biggest issue imo

narrate

sure buddy

i have faith in ethan, he is new to full igling and his improvement will be incredible imo
also SEN are 2nd to LOUD only in split

saying EMEA will win the event is pretty delusional both teams are too young

they looked very good vs Lev and SEN in their 2 games and they've had way less prep than a lot of other teams since boostio was only let out of jail at the start of the year.

no its not liquid did not look that good lol

RRQ looked very good vs GenG who won pacific lol. you cannot say my take on RRQ is bad there isn't enough to go on to prove that, different sure, bad no

out of top 8 teams it is definitely the weakest though, FPX would go 0-2 in the 12 team format

you realize there is a thing called DOUBLE CONTROLLLER right? on sunset and bind if demon1 brim, put marved on viper

his astra is fine his brim was great on fracture though lol

bind- demon1 Brim
Sunset- demon1 brim
Split- Demon1 Chamber
lotus- demon1 chamber
what other raze maps in da game rn
ps im not crying i've never been an NRG fan lol

1. KangKang
2. Narrate
3. Something
4. Marteen
5. Texture
6. Zekken
7. QCK (he's not better than miniboo but he is utilized better)
8. miniboo
9. Life

i also just trust ethan a lot

this would give America average of 14th, EMEA 16th, and Pacific 20th

how do they create role issues? Vic can flex to initiator and demon1 can flex to brim

those 3 will be pretty close together imo so thats fine

they are behind KC, Heretics, PRX, SEN rn but in 2 weeks i'd take them over those 4 teams

today i do aswell, madrid doesn't start for 2 weeks

crashies was regarded as the best sova in the world before, he has the pedigree to remain world class for longer. Vic sure you can say he's not world class anymore but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt

for where i think they'll be at the start of madrid

1. LOUD
2. SEN
3. KC
4. NRG
5. Paper Rex
6. Heretics
7. FNC
8. GenG

10. T1
11. EG
12. FUT
13. Navi
14. LEV
15. Vitality
16. DRX

24. KOI
25. Talon
26. M8
27. C9
28. Zeta
29. Bleed(im being more lenient bc they getting a new igl, in reality they'd be 32 because of it)
30. BBL
31. Furia
32. GE
33. DFM
    edit: moved NRG 4 because yall don't got faith in ethan

"World class players and coaches go to internationals." Via your own logic, yes

more americans on KC than Brits but the UK won EMEA kickoff somehow
