the only bias bald man has is with xlg because he wants that team to win if you read anymore into it you needa watch the game and focus less on him

-narrate +derrek overwatch

youre evil for this one LMFAO

damn bro without the flair too

fair enuf

why is bro agreeing to his own post-

leaving out prx is crazy

ah yes the kid whos graduated while playing esports will go to college again GENIUS BAIT

prolly high thats prolly why

its been this way for a while bro , ive had a duo throwing my ranked because we asked them to drop guns while theyre max on economy its horrid. They fed the enemy team comms and planted spike for them to defuse

truly

yeahhhhhh just want them to win and not get 2nd place again for like the 4th time

well FNC's Priority was getting reps in to improve their map pool while trying new stuff as said by them in multiple interviews and by their ex coach mini , TH Had a good regular season while playing dominantly but bombed out in playoffs similar to how C9 always misses out champs . Liquid is still flawless and hasnt lost a game yet. You can say it doesnt excuse bad performances but its valorant every result is random no team can be consistently winning all the time whether it be my team or your team no matter which region. If we think a team is doomed from a recent game its just recency bias kicking in like PRX has lost to ZETA and bounced back from it , FNC was rough in kick off and bounced back to make 2 finals back to back so be it one was a mickey mouse one , EG makes Internationals by mibr winning against 100T

alright ill just say this here cus that thread is just regions flaming each other . EMEA is not that bad as you make it seem like TH dropped a stinker sure and FNC dont look like their usual form but nothing crazy to the point where fnc can fix their stuff i cant say the same for TH cus i dont know how to judge their team cus they are very moementum based . Navi and BBL are amazing teams which have had amazing calling and amazing individual talent they are actively improving by every match . There is also GX who are like a dark horse like it or not theyve played well this split and they have some nice map control and play very proactive.

tier 2 orgs have more fans and money hence they keep their talented players , DFM and ZETA scout off of unsuccessful japanese teams who want to make changes

nothing can save 100T from themselves

Am i the crazy one or everyone glossed over mini saying during plat chat EMEA segment , FNC is trying to improve their map pool and testing out new stuff before champs rather than focusing on seeding since they qaulified

they kept rekkles in contract jail

its never about which current team clears who you want a sustainable org which has put in dedication into the scene you take shopify anyday not teams like C9 and 100T who are very volatile atm with 100T already pulling out of many esports and C9 due to financial reasons

id kick C9/100T for shopify

YINSU CHILL STOP KICKING HIM MORE HE'S ALREADY DEAD

invy does look really good

I know people are gonna immediately gonna go TS fix or like Jessievash sucks and all that buttttttttt im liking their little macro and micro adjustments theyre doing despite the scoreline I feel like RRQ is just shooting very well rn but the calling from TS is looking nice imo

noooooooooo

Their roster is gone- only coach there-

wait what happened to them i havnt kept up

I want ScarZ or Riddle to make it in APAC

Yep

Average M8's fan coping

Same thing with Apeks they only lost 2 players and got in additional help from MXS coach oderus on top of that too who managed to get MXS to like 3RD place in challengers always they just fell short of Gaurd and M80 a little everytime , My point being G2 was still good while losing those 2 players

solution is simple the org should sign players who are actually good and talented , because i want to rip my eyes out after seeing batu's deadlock , Look at teams like XLG , DRG , Nongshim and G2 they all picked up good players when they entered tier 1 and kept being good

edit:- Nongshim not so much but theyre still decent in mid tier

riot rules are only 2 are allowed to sit there , fnatic had their assistant coaches , performance and manager there in the same room but they couldnt go onto the camera

it really depends on how dominant DFM's win against T1 its not on how talon or prx perform

dfm beat your flair and your flair beat T1 do the math

DFM might get First seed over you guys if anything

unfortunate

isnt there a head to head if T1 lose and Zeta win next week

this could be very well be their last year in tier 1 as players might as well try showing they are good players individually to maybe have hope that in a different system the team would be better , i dont blame them for trying despite a shit year

had to defend my goat poolchan and woaster

they all have more wins than furia's entire franchising career

22 champs winner and god forbid was one of the best viper players up until early 2024 and you call him a cypher merchant

wild

where are they being held if you know?

Did they tell us which locations theyll be held in for 2026 season

ig hes finding it hard with the accents

damn china least fraudulent

each tier break represents their missing igl and coach

id argue they atleast looked like they were in the same page back then even if it was bad now they look lost

double tier break lmfao

the verno igl effect
