True, but she's not the best coach because they won, she's the best coach because of how she developed her team, which then won.

Please seek help

Prx do make troll comps work though. I mean look at their ascent comp. Don't knock the iso comp yet, maybe it's actually good lol.

So coaches can't improve lmao? Like, bruh, the past is kinda irrelevant if you can win in the present.

Tbf that is true, prx like to mess around a lot, but if they don't troll, that first match between them will be tough for sen.

5th player is almost certainly Marved, which would line up with roles similar to those.

Yeah subbing in Demon1 helped, but it's not like he was the sole reason they won Champs. They placed second at Tokyo without him playing that well.

Potter literally took a team that should've missed out on regional playoffs, to a Champs win. Idc who's on your team, that's an insane accomplishment.

lmao chill, he could be good, he's just inexperienced. But yeah, Ethan would he a good backup at igl or a secondary caller.

It really comes down to how Marved can igl since I'd assume he'd be the igl on this team.

I think the first match prx wins convincingly, but if they rematch it'll be a lot closer, and maybe sen even win.

I will not tolerate any potter slander, she was easily the best coach this year, it's not even close.

It's really not about the story as cool as it is, it's simply just that to improve that much in that time span, is honestly ridiculous. Like are you biased or just dumb? FNC was dominant don't get me wrong, but IMO it's more impressive to make that leap from where EG was, to be not just a contending team, but a winning team. FNC was just good from the get-go, and honestly, they choked when it mattered most anyway, but you know who didn't choke, EG.

Bro what? They went from barely getting into regional playoffs to winning Champs and placing second at a masters event. That's a crazy turnaround, no matter who's on that team.

Excuse my goat Shahz just has the eye to find only the best talent itw. Shahz > Saadhak

TenZ - finally switching to flex, and after time he could be one of the best flexes itw.
OXY - Dude has obvious talent and if C9 can support him properly he'll emerge as one of the best duelists in Americas

idk really know EMEA that well but maybe

trexx - was held down by koi being bad last year, but he's really good and hopefully will get a chance to show how good he is
yetujey - Idk he just seems like he doing well in RBHG and he has some really good aim. Also fut being one of the better teams in EMEA, he has a real shot to prove himself against the best itw

Xeta - Just in his igling though, he's always been able to frag, but after getting a year under his belt of igling, he should be much better next year
hiroronn - Ik it was a small sample size, but bro was cooking in the RBHG, he seems like he has potential

CN - I'm ngl I have no idea, lmk some good players that could make a leap next year.

FNC was the best team this year fs, but IMO what EG did was more impressive.

qw1 is better but dgzin is very underrated, could be on a franchised team fs.

Yeah sure he hasn't been at the highest level that long, but what he did is crazy. He igled a team that was never supposed to make even the regional playoffs, to a champions win. If that doesn't scream world class idk what does.

They won that map and the series though, but yeah bro has an insane op for a non-duelist player.

Sayf
ScreaM
nAts
Shao
Nivera (Omen OP goes crazy)

She tryna steal steel

Idk where you get that vibe, Omen can by nature play more aggressive and quicker than Astra. Whereas Astra is more versatile and gives you the ability to recall abilities to use them later.

Not really because astra has a delay after she places her stars. They're probably about the same amount of time if you know how to use both agents.

Just practice getting used to how the map looks in his smokes form, then learn the good smokes spots on the maps ur playing him on, then learn some one ways.

After you get his smokes down practice using his blind so that you don't blind ur team.

The tp's are a little harder to figure out hard to use effectively, but an easy use is just to tp out of a bad situation or across a choke point/line of vision.

His ult is not that useful but it can be used to grab spike, rotate fast, or get information. You can also try to use it to flank, but it's risky to do that.

Boom, after all that you have Omen down somewhat. Tbh Omen really isn't that hard once you get used to the map in is smoke form.

Hot take: this roster isn't that bad. Obviously a step down from their Champs winning roster, but this is better than C9's roster, on paper.

Nah they'll definitely place top 3 in at least one event, but they fs aren't winning two trophies again.

Ngl signing Derrek when you have C0M is crazy

Bro wanted kaplan and johnqt, but got rawkus and Shroud instead. Then after SEN dropped him, they went and got both of the people Shahz wanted. He got legit fucked over let's be real, but people still blame him for SEN being bad in 2022.

All time it's FNS clears, but I'd rather have Boostio. Man igled a champions winning team and can frag.

EG Shahz goes kinda hard

If Sen genuinely wanted zellsis to start they would've dropped pancada, and signed zellsis to the starting roster. All of this started because pancada was sick one week, and then they continued to play without him for the Sen inv. There's absolutely zero reason to drop or bench him; the season hasn't even started yet lol.

I swear I saw something that said they were continuing with zellsis for afreeca but maybe I saw wrong.

Sen is weird idk, or maybe they just zellsis to get chem with the team.

Bro don't ask me, I'm not the one deciding sentinels roster moves and changes. I just don't see why they would bench pancada before the season even started.

Nah threads should stay up, but I think they should add title changing.

People gotta chill, zellsis is just in for the afreeca TV tournament. They should really play pancada though, but he's not getting benched or dropped lol.

Not saying FNC won't be insane, but let's be real, dominating EMEA isn't that crazy. I mean they couldn't produce one other good team aside from FNC all year.

Cool story bro

I was judging depth based on teams not on players, because judging the overall talent of an entire region is extremely difficult. However, you can look at the results of teams in a given region, and specifically the players on those teams to help determine the depth of a region based on how many competitive teams it can produce.

If we're going based on depth as of now, which is how we should be going, it's: Americas >> EMEA > Pacific > CN (Pacific is close to catching EMEA tbh though)

Their whole org is as big as their val team was this year lmao

Tbh, I think Jinggg just felt a lot of pressure. Like no matter how much you try to suppress the pressure, with it being your last match for at least 2 years, it's going to be hard to shake the thought of losing. He definitely wanted to win too much to the point where he was always trying to make a play and he was over-peaking a lot. EG was playing pretty well though let's be real, but if Jinggg wasn't leaving, everyone on PRX (especially Jinggg) probably would have played better.

Congrats Krü on winning Champions 2024!

As a full time shit I can confirm this is true

I'm just curious what their plan is at IGL. Like is Marved their IGL now or do they have a player in mind to fill that role?

It's not the teams fault the fans and media propped them up as being untouchable. I'm sure the have high standards, but I'm pretty sure they also don't underestimate their opponents. FNC is just a really good team that's hard to beat, but other really good teams can do it.

Tbh I'd argue that while Viper is not OP, she's too good on too many maps. That's why we have double controller so much. It's kinda boring though because you get less big site executes, and teams play a lot slower it feels like.

EMEA not even close

The depth of EMEA:

I gotta be real, I was one of those people, and I might be wrong fr. Vanity pulling a masterclass against FNC rn. Shahz is underrated though.
