Genuinely look a tier below even EG and C9

The lag ruined that clutch

honestly the clip of fl1pzjder running with his knife out on pistol round sums up that entire match

i thought he was 25

no way you watched that match and thought t3xture was one of the immediate issues

TLN > EDG

I expected 100T and VIT to be better than they were today to be honest but I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. EDG was impressive, FUT were slightly impressive since we all expected them to be bad. GES I have mixed feeling about and RRQ need to be banned from all tournaments, especially fl1pzjder. All in all, not a bad day.

saadhak >>>

100T lucked out on this one

Bilibili are going to be that team

DRX, stax

ye, FUT look better than expected and have some nice ideas

It’s hard to tell when they are playing against 5 silvers running Reyna in 2023

8. GE
9. DFM
10. RRQ

nah don't let them cook

DK deadass just didn't want to sell him to GENG I'm pretty sure lmfao. they were mad about the franchise slot maybe

THATS MY GE LETS FUCKING GO

LETS GO GE. MONYET, T3XTURE, AND SKROSSI ARE ALL WARMED UP NOW

LETS GO GE

It’s a best of 3 for a reason #GEFIGHTING

VIT got beat 26-6 by C9 bro

7.888B

Okay but at least make them go through a Chinese qualifier this time instead of just inviting two of them. I’d rather see whz who’s now on Bilibili play than whatever the fuck that FPX team was.

thank god they didn’t choke Haven, that timeout saved them

Dplus actually about to fumble an 11-3 lead ffs

Pacific 2-1 EMEA
EMEA 1-4 Americas
Americas 3-3 Pacific
EMEA 1-0 CN

Skrossi and t3xture about to be the best duo of the tournament

Perc30FishFillet needs to return

I don’t know, it just pisses me off watching them allow LEV to pick Ascent into them. Like I know ZETA are probably bad at Icebox and that’s why they banned it, but a non-practiced Icebox has got to be better than having to go up against LEV’s Ascent. Like did they even bother to VOD review the other team?

It looked like Zeta wanted to lose that last round

I don’t know cause the script writer has Zeta winning

who would’ve guessed that the best teams end up being the top 4 cores from Champions. maybe we need to stop hyping up new teams as much

him fumbling the awp shot is what literally lost NRG the game

There’s a 3rd region?

no but TL are playing about as good as a GC team would at the moment

maybe they think it’s TL female

It’s okay, remember 99% of gamblers quit before they win big.

I don’t expect them to beat Furia at all but I also think people are overestimating how bad they are off of the Ludwig x Tarik event.
I don’t know if it’s a hot take but I feel like a solid 1/3 of franchised teams at least would’ve also got exposed similarly by TGrd/TSM too had they attended that event.

Thread should be about why are tierlists wrongfully underestimating Loud specifically, not all Brazilian teams. If anything, channels like Plat Chat gave a team like MIBR way too much credit. As for Furia, I may personally think they are the dark horse of the event but their is no evidence that they will be anything past a B tier team at the moment, so I wouldn't say they are even being underestimated yet.

ban is still better than will though

I think so. It would either be scrim all teams including KR teams or not scrimming any Pacific franchise teams at all, so my guess would be they’re doing the former*

Edit: they also scrimmed Talon before so nearly 100% sure they scrim Gen.G too now

Definitely! And DRX vs LOUD is a win-win scenario too honestly, cause either I get to see DRX finally make a GF or LOUD play with a packed crowd. Obviously I’d still rather see DRX win and maybe get another slot for Pacific but it will be a great match regardless of the result.

W Saadhak respecting other teams. I wonder how true DRX’s word is about Gen.G or if they were just hyping up the homies for their debut

GGs Talon, let's see if DRX can make the Pacific region proud

Natus Vincere

1. LOUD
2. 100T
3. NRG
4. LEV
5. C9
6. SEN
7. EG
8. FUR
9. MIBR
10. KRU

I agree

bros lost it
