today against LOUD: 9/2 FK/FD on fade and kayo, f0rsakeN is still the flex goat

i never said johnqt would be the 1st instance of this happening, i only said it would encourage orgs more to do this

• if PRX wins: my favorite team for 3 years finally wins an event after 2nd place Champs 2023 and Copenhagen, 3rd place Tokyo, and 4th place Reykjavik + Pacific gets a trophy
• if GenG wins: proves that a newly formed team with a ranked rookie (Karon) can end up winning an event + Pacific gets a trophy
• if SEN wins: the 1st ever intentional winners make their triumphant return 3 years later + incentivizes other orgs to pick up other good t2 NA talent (like johnqt) instead of recycling the same t1 talent

I really want all of these teams to win and it's hard to choose what storyline I like more

the french do NOT fuck w you 😭 ketamine poor fan talking

oh trust me i do, but at this point they have had so many top 4 finishes that i just assume it'll work itself out

yeah, they looked like the weakest team...

they haven't, but their map pool is bigger this year.

bind, sunset, and ascent are strong picks, split and lotus are getting there, and breeze and icebox are anyone's guess.

i don't wanna say they're favorites, but it would be crazy to say they don't have a chance, they just need a solid icebox since that's their perma ban

i think with time, monyet's flexability going to smokes will allow for each individual to be more comfortable playing what they're best at (which may or may not make up for Jinggg's departure).

2023 PRX hit a ceiling, but i think 2024 PRX's ceiling is higher and with better competition in Pacific we can see them shine

but they make it to top 3 nearly every time... why would people rate them lower?

sure, don't rate them #1, but why are they rated #7 even if they choke?

SEN vs. TH: 2-1
PRX vs. TH: 2-1

SEN vs. KC: 2-0
PRX vs. KC: 2-1

SEN vs. LOUD: 2-1
PRX vs. LOUD: 2-0

SEN keeps setting up PRX for kicking teams out of the tournament

then why does everyone rate them bottom of the barrel at every single event? the one singular time i saw people rating them top 3 was at Champs 2023. every other event, people doubt them.

they may have not won an event yet, but 5/7 of the past international events, PRX has placed top 4.

2nd at Champs 2023 and Copenhagen, 3rd at Tokyo, 4th at Reykjavik, and another confirmed Top 3 finish at Madrid.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO STOP DOUBTING THIS TEAM? Every single event they’ve been doubted HARD, and at every single event they outperform people’s expectations. Just admit they’re a good team.

this team may not have won an event yet, but they’ve had two 2nd place finishes, one 3rd, one 4th, and now another confirmed top 3 SINCE 2022.

5/7 of the last international events, they’ve placed top 4 (grouped Champs 2022 and lost LOCK//IN).

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO STOP DOUBTING??

YOU CAN NEVER COUNT THEM OUT.

lower finals is a regular bo5, no advantage for bans

capybara? capybara! coconut doggy!

Genetic Gap

Time to bow down to our new Pacific overlords, it was only a matter of time before Korea took over another Riot game

why is BabyJ there? i thought everyone hated him

GenG 27-25 SEN

i dont think cypher is a yoru counter

GenG is getting too excited rn, they gotta breathe if they wanna win this 2-0

this game decides who wins tbh

if SEN win then GenG is the only team that could beat them (map pool)
if GenG win then PRX is the most likely team to beat them (practice playing them/unpredictability/hero plays)

⚠️BAITER ALERT⚠️ DON'T RESPOND ⚠️

weren't people calling for his removal?

he always gets a round every map

why GENG will beat PRX

because PRX are dinosaurs "RAWR" and GENG has meteor and meteor killed dinosaurs millions of years ago

talking shit is funny when you have 0 trophies

like your opinion is really cool, you're admitting that PRX beat the EMEA teams and not making excuses which i think is cool

is it cockiness if they're winning?

most based EMEA fan holyyyyy

yeah Pacific is looking good tbh, if DRX isn't a representative then you know Pacific is in a good position

if geng wins this, i don't see a reality where any team beats them in GF

ironically PRX would have the best chance between SEN and LOUD based off of the map pool and play style

I've waited years to see the day that this becomes a possibility and we may be here soon

Sad it's not PRX but GenG is fucking insane, total props to them. SEN looked so lost and didn't know how to handle them on Split

speak for yourself

I probably will get a lot of hates and downvotes for this but the truth needs to be said

yeah, i think prx fans are incredibly sensitive when it comes to criticism about prx.

but i also think prx haters are misguided with some of their criticisms, to the point where they hate on the players of prx for seemingly 0 reason (like how can you do this? they’re all fun players gameplay and personality wise)

lowkey geng had the read on them every round, i felt pretty sad watching it

to be fair they are a pretty consistent team, even if they’re consistently throwers. there’s something to be said about how their accolades have stretched over 3 years

2022- 4th place masters, 2nd place masters
2023- 3rd place masters, 2nd place champs
2024- confirmed top 4 masters

#3

it was only a matter of time before PRX added another 4th place to their accolades

i believe in the moose pickup but potter as a coach is lowkey a cheat code, EG's roster looked halfway decent in the games they played

bro couldn't read the first fucking sentence of the post 💀

i don't agree with NRG, their perma ban is Bind and their Split was horrendous against SEN. Most of the best teams itw rn play Split, so they need to be better at that map if they want to even be considered #1

this is based off of 1st and 2nd seed + one of the 3rd place teams from each region:

1. SEN
2. LOUD/GenG
3. LOUD/GenG
4. KC/PRX
5. KC/PRX
6. Fnatic
7. TH
8. NRG/T1
9. NRG/T1
10. EDG
11. Trace
12. FPX

Notes:

• I know this seems pretty biased against China, but i really wasn't impressed by their showing at Madrid since their only win was against an overcooked PRX comp and EDG got dismantled by LOUD. FPX has promise if they get better coaches. The whole region needs better strats and can't just rely on a star duelist like KangKang
• If SEN win tomorrow, they will win the whole event, their Split, Lotus, and Sunset are incredibly strong and having 2 free map vetoes will make it hard for any team to win.
• I'm confident that T1 will be really strong going into Split 1, tbh T1 could've beat PRX and still made it to Madrid playoffs.
• It's very uncertain where NRG is because they beat pretty easy teams and got dismantled on Split by SEN, which seems to be a pretty popular map among the best teams (and their perma ban is currently Bind)

EG, T1, Navi, and DRG

source: i made it up

terrible name but W site, i’ll check it out more often then

i 2nd this

if it’s too much work for all the teams, at the very least do the NA VCL teams bc of how popular NA is in t2

god i sure hope people aren’t getting their info on Islam from Sneako, i’ve taken religion classes on Islam in college and the shit he says is pretty misguided. i hope he’s not cultivating a new generation of islamophobes

finally a toasty W 😭😭

but yeah, it’s crazy people are so adamant about fasting being easy, and it’s also crazy people are acting like johnqt did something unheard of. i did ramadan last year with my roommate and felt more exhausted than usual, but i still got through the day. it was much harder to think though, so i can’t imagine how it affects his igling

that’s cool and all but what the fuck is sheep esports

brick wall talking
