having a good team does make an individual player better, but aspas is undoubtedly better

aspas is jett diffing so hard rn holy

VAMOS

Another day another NA bad thread

at this point it's not even fun to banter back shit's just boring

mang0 clears

50 comments and not one says the guard

Americas is united lil bro keep coping

North SA and SA STICK TOGETHER!

coping before an event starts is a new emea low

oh wait, you guys did that with lock in too LMAO

classic emea fan can't read my words and see i never once mentioned mibr and kru because they're #9 and 10

any Americas and EMEA matchups (that didn't involve NRG, LOUD, Navi, and Fnatic):
EG 2-0 Heretics
100T 2-1 FUT
Leviatan 2-0 Vitality

what EMEA team besides Navi and Fnatic beat an Americas team?
Thus my point stands, #3-8 Americas CLEARS #3-8 EMEA

referring to her as a girl is being generous, cleo is just a clout goblin with zero morals

Leo has been insanely good since guild, he just got dragged down by 2 bots on his team

if fnatic wins lock in i think he's top 5 itw. i don't think it's a coincidence he gets better teammates and all of a sudden starts popping off on T1 talent

damn you were right, classic EMEA frogs downvoting common sense

my bad bro i was sleeping and didn't see them

i had my doubts on whether ardiis would be a good fit personality-wise with NRG, but this clip completely changed my mind LMAO this dude is hilarious

thanks for the input meyournightmare

people expect Zeta to perform? they havent performed since iceland

Shao and Leo are too equal to rank one over the other imo, they're both insanely cracked initiators

how many threads a day is this gonna come up LMAO

the only NA team expected to make top 4 was nrg, and they were 1 round away in a very close quad OT match.
the two EMEA teams expected to make it far were Navi and Fnatic, Navi was lucky enough to keep 4 from their core together from FPX (LAN winners) and Fnatic has literally the strongest team on paper. It would've been sad if they didn't make top 4.

but, I just don't think a region's strength is based off of its top teams. EMEA has 2 amazing teams but so does Americas. What does matter imo is that Americas #3-8 (100T, LEV, SEN, Furia, EG, C9) are the favorites to win over EMEA #3-8 any day and I'd rather have it that way than require 2 teams to carry the whole region.

nt tho buddy

+29?
17/3 FK/FD?
309 ACS?

did you search "BR hypocrite region" just to necro a year old post? come on bro

eh start 2-3 and work up to 4-5 after 2 weeks but i get what you meant

ACS for duelists + KAST% for every role is just undoubtedly the best metric, it shows how impactful you are throughout the game and gives a deeper insight than K/D

still a great list though, but K/D just favors those who play duelists and/or frag out, rather than show the importance of igls and people with insane utility usage

stop simping for women and instead focus on improving your life in a positive way

dick size, 4 stars = 4 inches

keyword "almost" :D

no roster changes this time babyyyy

nah some people are definitely way too serious about it

unlucky tbh should've been in the Alpha bracket

oh shit i got baited

i have less than 200 QI

what does it stand for? i assume if he's speaking in english that he would use the english abbreviation for it as well

Ana

i think you wrote it wrong

i think this list would be much better if the ground floor was an F (like DFM or RRQ) and the celing was an S+, it would put more into perspective where teams actually are

i think that was mainly a lack of education about Brazil and LATAM's T1 scene. at majors, most NA people only saw LOUD, Kru/Lev, and then no one else of importance. No one really watched Brazil or LATAM challengers, so they just assumed 1 team region and moved on. especially when champs rolled around and brazil and latam got grouped besides LOUD and LEV, it just justified those beliefs more. The 5-3-2 split was definitely the right decision hands down and I'm glad riot found enough orgs to fill those slots.

navi and fnatic are superteams because they don't have majorly exploitable issues. I think NRG has exploitable issues, but FNS compensates for that because he can counter-strat the enemy's exploitations. that's the difference between superteams and NRG

a team's ranking isn't based on how close they are to winning (unless it goes triple OT), it's about how cohesive and strategized their plays are. mibr kinda shit the bed against talon and looked incredibly lost. EG's strats just didn't work against them but they had good midround adaptations. plus i have faith in potter to make EG a better team, mibr has LOUD's ex-coach yet still took a bunch of 1v1s and looked like they had no answer to talon.

bro said QI

25 + 950 = 975
975 + 25 = 1000
25 dollars

you can't call a team a superteam if it has glaring issues. imo NRG isn't a superteam but it's 95% of the way there. once regular season rolls around i think they will be, ardiis just needs to get more acquainted with NA playstyle and victor needs to get out of his slump

SEN as C? they did better against fnatic than 100T, even with a new core and less practice. once the regular season rolls around it'll be easier to rate these teams, but it's genuinely a toss up as to who will beat who #3-8

i wasn't here in 2021 and now i've accepted my place as North SA for the foreseeable future

maybe, but i do know that they lost 2 of their best players, got a coach that hasn't been that impressive, and had terrible map picks against Navi

i do tbh, anything between 40-60% odds in either favor i consider to be on the same tier of each other, and EG is definitely 40% odds or higher

if ethan and boostio get activated it's kind of a toss up, maybe 55/45 in the other teams favor. it probably wont be a stomp which is my point

no point, a loss is a loss and laughing at c9 is basically laughing at prx, since i'm basically saying "how the fuck did they lose to them?"

(in no particular order)
1-2: LOUD, NRG
3-8: SEN, EG, Furia, 100T, LEV, C9
9-10: KRU, mibr

lets be honest, any team #3-8 could beat any other #3-8 team on any given day. its pretty much impossible to accurately rank Americas beyond this.

i'm just sayin bro there's a reason i don't talk badly about C9

https://www.vlr.gg/179671/americans-gonna-have-to-root-for-loud/#3
I've been on the LOUD train, North SA has 0 champs and is washed up

sorry, what region did Giants lose to?

NRG went toe-to-toe with LOUD and lost by a single round in Quintuple OT. LEV got decimated by Navi. If people say Navi and LOUD are relatively equal in skill, how is LEV magically better than NRG, a team with the core of the most consistent team in 2022?
