yeah aside from FNC/LOUD, everyone else is interchangeable. honestly just depends what region you cheer for because Pacific fans put DRX #3, NA fans put NRG #3, and EMEA fans put NAVI #3 lol

LOUD vs FNC (4)
LOUD vs DRX (6)
NRG vs LOUD (10)
NAVI vs FNC (13)

Number on the right is round differential. If we look at it that way, DRX did better against LOUD then NRG and NAVI are the furthest from the other 4 teams, although they did play the best one.
Round differential isn't everything though, so I'm not going to act like this 100% proves anything, just my take.

Gutssz and hating drx, nothing new

agreed

i said the region(s)

the regions are so top heavy that it feels like whoever gets that slot is getting shit on

too late

DRX had better round differential but it's really close

depending on how this map ends, DRX might've been the team to give LOUD the best fight

cry is free

should've been nrg in quarterfinals instead of navi too

crowned themselves the #2 best team before the end of the match lmfao

he's calling himself a dog lol

SEN was not that bad but I also better not see people try to justify SEN as top 10 still since they also didn't look particularly good

2022 FPX got 4-0'd by DRX

they're gonna have to pull out some crazy shit to win

didn't DRX just beat Loud on the next two maps they're playing?

NRG was put over drx beacuse their performance against world champions were better than drx

better performance? NRG went -10 against Loud while DRX only went -6. I swear people forget NRG got destroyed on Map 1

1. LOUD/FNC
2. LOUD/FNC
3. DRX
4. NAVI
5. NRG

Reasonable?

TS looked good but I'm not confident they'll do well in the Pacific region since I think they'd honestly rather play against EMEA play styles rather than Pacific ones based on their track record.

Well I’m assuming that they’re definitely playing Foxy9 in the Pacific League for starters since they’ve been scrimming with him a lot even in BR. Secondly, may be copium but playing in Tokyo could help them a lot too since it’ll be the first time they don’t have the crowd cheering against them.

Furia is better than Leviatan. Leviatan just got fortunate that nobody exposed their weak map pool before NAVI.

If they don’t make a grand finals this year, absolutely. They are currently 0/4 on semifinal matches now and I think the team may be reaching their ceiling, which is why they got Foxy.

I thought I was about to see some actual character development

one day 🥲

true, even Turkey was less biased. I just want to see a crowd that actually cheers for Drx man

T1 3-0 RNG
DRX 3-2 EDG
T1 3-1 JDG

Cope

The fuck you mean league, where do you think DRX and T1 are from

They’ll finally have a big crowd to cheer for them

DRX aim was the worse I’ve ever seen it on that last map :(

If he had confidence he would’ve won that Lakia peek, but he second guessed himself

DRX only got 5 rounds on CT side, this game is a wrap :/

It’s going to lose them the game playing too safe

And DRX are down 0-2, what happened? Can someone give me a summary

finally a sane take

hard disagree

You should name it after the phrase “I came, I saw, I conquered” but then like translate it back to Latin so it looks fancier: Veni Vidi Vici. Then you could maybe abbreviate it to 3V Esports cause the phrase is too long.

TL yay

So us Koreans can just say that 2/3 of our teams were new cores, GENG managed to push the world champions to overtime, and T1 are just the black sheep.
Meanwhile our one pre-existing core managed to make playoffs while NA had 4 who didn’t. So in other words, KR > NA?

Hopefully we get an amazing match from both teams 💙💚
I’m on that DRX hopium

I respect the effort but I'm confused why you would choose K/D to assess the best player when rating, ACS, and even KAST would've all been better statistics to go off of in my opinion. Nonetheless, good work.
