My guess is:

GENG ban Sunset
GENG ban Lotus
GENG pick Breeze
SEN pick Bind
GENG pick Icebox
SEN pick Split
Decider Ascent

And either way, EMEA didn't even get close to winning.

It's kinda true though, they wanted it a little too much. Everyone just kept trying to make a play that would change the game.

Idk, SEN's split is kind of different. If PRX do win, it'll probably be close, but I still think SEN takes that map.

Yeah I know, but I was just listening to the PRX post match interview, and Alecks says that Sunset is their only good map. He seems to think that SEN might ban it, so if it's there I bet they pick it over Ascent. Ascent is probably the smarter pick though.

My guess is:

PRX ban Icebox
SEN ban Breeze
PRX pick Sunset
SEN pick Split
PRX pick Ascent
SEN pick Lotus
Bind Remains

Bro can we talk about KR for a sec, like damn. Is KR the most underrated region? GEN.G, DRX, and T1 all look good.

Idk, the crowd being disappointing is an opinion, therefore it can always be argued either way.

Well yeah, but they peeked him though. He clearly knows he's good, like that clip vs 100t where he says something like, "it's fine I'll literally just kill them."

It's not even being toxic, he's just confident af right now.

Least reactionary VLR post

He's just a little inconsistent but he's got that ability to just take over a game. He's underrated for that reason, imo.

It's not really the absence of jinggg, it's just they are in need of some time to figure things out. Both Forsaken and Alecks don't think they're in good form rn.

I gotta be real, being hungry is good and all, but some teams are just going to be better. I'm not saying TH can't stay this good, but other teams are going to be coming with their hunger too.

Yeah, but SEN, GEN.G, KC, and TH made massive improvements. The is probably the most competitive it's been, which has less to with teams getting worse, and more so with teams getting better.

Well let's be real, SEN are making it, but that still leaves one slot open.

I know Wo0t is supposed to be insane, but unless EMEA is wildly different, FUT, NAVI and or FNC can all turn up during the season. TH have been playing lights out, but it's difficult to keep up that level of form.

Naw a strawman is misrepresenting an argument so that it favors your point of view.

That's an outrageous jump to make lmao. These teams are clearly better, minus EDG.

That's great for them, but for some reason, I'm not convinced they can keep up this level of play.

Bro a kid who plays val is not going to care about Clove being non-binary unless you tell them to care. In the end, games are games, and fun is fun.

The thing about PRX is, they might have down periods, but when they hit their stride they're incredibly hard to beat. They might be on that path now after last night's win.

Bro, in what way is FNC more interesting than either of those teams? FNC is boring af imo.

I disagree, SEN to me has a slight edge, in that if this game is a 3 map series which it's likely to be, they recently have been doing very well in that 3rd map. We'll see though, it's a banger match.

SEN just has better mental, they've won all their games going the distance. TH played well though, they have a really good shot in the lowers.

Just any EMEA team last year, to ban Lotus against FNC. Like, EMEA really let FNC keep picking Lotus into them and just going down 1-0 in every game.

Same could be said for EG's fracture to some extent.

Kohaibi purely because of how high her sens is. Like she can igl and frag at that sens, it's crazy.

Idk if they'd be better, but Shahz is still good ofc. I know he's sick watching this rn lol.

It's crazy how Shahz wanted both kaplan and johnqt, but got shroud and rawkus instead lmao. Deadass they coulda basically this team just with Shahz instead of Sacy.

SEN has played Split a lot, there's a lot of tape on them there. They probably feel like they can anti-strat them on Split.

And this post is bookmarked by someone, lol.

SEN fans used to be worse, but at least SEN has now proved they can be good. RN NRG has only beaten FURIA and C9, which is really not that impressive. Maybe NRG wins against SEN, but NRG fans need to pipe down until this team actually does something of worth.

Bro, Monyet literally just joined the team. PRX's problem is that they're committed to playing how they want to play, even at the cost of winning. I mean fair enough I guess, do your thing, but they maybe do a little too much at times. Also, jinggg leaving definitely fucked their mental. You could see in the game against EG. They just wanted to win too much, that they just kept trying to make plays and getting punished for it, even more so than earlier in the year. PRX clearly have enough talent to win it all, but they might never win. I'll still be there no matter what though.

Ok good for you, I guess.

That's just how he his is, players like him are going to be cocky, and tbh, even if EDG gets rolled in Madrid, it's entertaining anyway.

I saw Shahz's name and thought he was back smh. Still can't believe C9 chose vanity over him.

Like for example, last year during champs EDG had Smoggy on Raze and Kang Kang on jett, but for whatever reason on Split they swapped, and KK was on Raze, and Smoggy on Jett.

ngl Derke on fraud watch now. He's not there yet, but he's kinda overrated rn.

Teams do this all the time, sometimes it's due to players' agent flexibility, but it could also just be the map or that it gives something new for players to play. Playing the same agent for so long is bound to get boring.

My guess is:

SEN ban Icebox
NRG ban Bind
SEN pick Sunset
NRG pick Ascent
SEN ban Breeze
NRG ban Split
Map 3 is Lotus

I think you mean joined, not joint.

SEN because they deserve it way more

Tbf they did get shafted with that group. They'll be fine during the season.

It's just giving you the backstory for when Demon1 shits on zellsis in the SEN vs NRG game.

I think some EMEA teams did improve but I don't see one winning a masters or champs. Americas is just too good, and Gen.G actually look good as well.

aproto's back? Big W

Bro what? TF did mini do? They had all that time to cook for champs and ended up getting hard read by LOUD after they barely changed anything. FNC were just giga-overrated, simple as that.

See know SEN are going to lose just because of this which is a shame because they are contender to win fs.
