cope

Ok and? Any of those teams could pop off and win. PRX placed top 3 with a sub, and DRX placed third at last year's champs. Either of those teams could break through and win.

cap DRX, PRX, EDG. Try again lol

Nah, it's just loud is good lol.

These are some boring ass comps fr, this is why we need PRX to stay good smh.

The fracture hate is crazy, that map is underrated. It's something different, and it's fun to both watch and play.

I don't hate this move. The core is stacked with talent, and if Marved can improve as an IGL, SEN could be dangerous next year.

yeah, DRX just beat LOUD, and peak DRX is better than peak EG.

I never said 13-11 was the same as 13-1, I'm saying close maps don't mean that much if you can't win. You can play a ton of teams close but if you can't win games you lack the ability to finish games, which is what separates good teams from great teams.

LOUD all day, I just wanna see FNC lose and all those EMEA fans cope lol.

So what, TL and NAVI was close and TL couldn't even put up a fight against LOUD. ZETA has a close map against NRG, and EDG second map was close with PRX. But all those teams lost 2 - 0, and that's what matters. NAVI turned out to be a lot better than TL, NRG destroyed ZETA in the next map, and PRX was just better than EDG. Close maps don't mean much if you just can't win.

But this literally proved my point though. Americas has had the most teams in the top 8, making them the best region. And for EMEA they've sent more teams than any region and barely beat out the Pacific and couldn't beat out Americas. Yeah FNC is good but the rest of EMEA isn't and that's literally backed up by how teams have done this year.

They got 2-0'd by EG, wdym almost beat? FUT literally just had to beat T1, who were not playing that well. FUT is mid asf and that has always been the case.

If we get peak LOUD that game will be a gigabanger, but regardless it should be a really good game.

1. FNC
2. PRX
3. DRX
4. LOUD
5. EG
6. EDG
7. BLG
8. FUT

Mid team, T1 just played worse. They're gonna get rocked by PRX and one of FNC/LOUD.

If this is true it just comes down to how much Marved can improve as an IGL.

This isn't about a hypothetical player, this is about the average beginner player. And that player doesn't know how to aim, or can't aim very well, and has to play for a bit to unlock ranked.

Bro, they went from and 0-9 team to winning 5 games in a row and winning LCQ. And tbf to them, their group was kinda hard and they had less time coming from LCQ. They in no way choked IMO.

Why is KRU at 4? They legit did the opposite of choke, they clutched up their season and won LCQ.

But what player is going to practice just aim until their aim is decent enough, and then play? New players are just going to pick an agent and start playing probably long before they get a grasp on how to aim. Reyna is literally the smurf agent for a reason, because it's about how much better at aiming you are than the enemies. She's not good for someone new, because figuring out how to use utility to benefit your team is often times easier than learning how to aim well.

Reyna is like the worst for a beginning player because your aim needs to be good. If you're not fragging with Reyna she's basically useless.

They just choked smh. Like they did all the work of getting into playoffs and getting a good lcq seed, and all they had to do was win a couple of games when it mattered most.

Brim feels easy to me, but maybe it's because I'm a smokes main. Either him or Sage is probably a good stater agent.

C9 really had to choke so now we get this shit smh. 2 NA placed top 4 at Masters Tokyo but ig that's forgotten now.

I'd accept a swap between EMEA and Pacific, but if DRX is good again this is how I see it. Americas has been the best region this year and it's indisputable. At lock-in, while EMEA had two teams in the top 4 (FNC/NAVI), Americas had 4 in the top 8 (Loud, NRG, LEV, 100t). At Masters Tokyo, NRG and EG both made it out of groups and placed top 4, while the best an EMEA team could do besides FNC was TL, who won one game and then bombed out. Tbh idc how you wanna rank them, as long as Americas is number 1.

2022 champions winners and 2023 lockin finalists aren't contenders? okay buddy, sure

fair enough, I guess we'll have to see in playoffs.

Americas for sure has more depth than EMEA. FUT ain't doing shit in playoffs, they only qualified because the bad T1 showed up to champions. On the other hand, both EG and Loud could be considered contenders to win the event.

1. Americas
2. Pacific
3. EMEA
4. CN

As of now, this is basically the only answer, but if BLG is able to keep playing well maybe CN > EMEA.

FNC 2 - 1 LOUD (13 - 9, 7 - 13, 15 - 13)
PRX 2 - 0 FUT (13 - 4, 13 - 7)
DRX 2 - 0 BLG (13 - 10, 13 - 9)
EDG 2 - 1 EG (11 - 13, 13 - 8, 14 - 12)

idek, I've been so wrong thus far in my predictions for champs I doubt any of this is gonna be right.

So you mean FNC > Americas? Which could very well be the case, but Loud is heating up and EG almost beat them before, so you never know.

Nah it's Americas > Pacific > EMEA > CN (unless BLG can sustain success, then swap EMEA and CN).

In terms, of the story sure, but the best match overall is probably FNC vs PRX if they play.

There's a lot of back and forth about the best region, but this is fr good. The playoffs are gonna be so interesting this champs.

going out sad smh

It means having no pressure is OP af: EG, KRU, and now BLG. It's a mental diff fr.

The cope is unreal...anyway how's everyone's day so far?

Actual facts China's the best region fr.

EG and Loud? Like bruh c'mon Americas is the best region and it's not close.

I mean EMEA is still a 1 team region, but damn NA is going out sad rn. Tf happened lol?

What? TL got wrecked, NAVI couldn't qualify, and Giants just got rolled by EDG. Your point makes no sense lmao. Objectively, EMEA has done worse than any other region thus far.

Because for having the most teams represented at an international really only one team is competitive. And now with DRX playing well, it's possible that both the Pacific and Americas regions have more competitive teams than EMEA.

nobody was -1 against him, that's hardly getting dog-walked IMO. Also, all of your takes are irrelevant after NAVI got grouped lol.

🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😹🤣

T1 because Xeta, man is just a W.

Bro his team is trash smh. He has Redgar and Soulcas on his team, he's not going anywhere doesn't matter how well he plays.

It's because EG players don't give a fuck and people are mad that EG is just being themselves lol. Like bruh, let them rock they are having fun and being harmless smh.

It would be cool but neither team is letting go of their player, at least not anytime soon.
