100t ban Bind. My theory is that this is NV's real comp. The reyna pick is to have flashes to entry with as they have no skye. The only thing I don't understand is not playing skye/picking cypher over her. Could be FNS choice, could be Crashies not being comfortable, could be the coach wanting to utilize cypher on arguably his best map.

They are not a good split team anymore. Split is Envy's perma ban now from what used to be icebox. Also my guess is this is their comp. The only thing I don't understand is cypher over skye. Cypher over skye is why they have to go Reyna over jett as reyna has flashes to make up for cypher not having any. That being said split is cyphers best map, maybe FNS just prefers a strong defense to make up for the lack luster attack?

Crashies was a cypher 1 trick back on T1. Obviously this is well over 8 months ago but not his first time.

I mean having an org and not having an org is a big difference even if it is still the same 5

100% agree

This makes zero sense, to send death threats to people after a loss is just sickening. Especially over something as trivial as esports. Like you literally know that there will be multiple other chances, and ultimately it is just a game, these players have lives outside of it. Like really? This is the level that you stoop to? It just doesn't make any sense to me :(

Props to you. I thought maybe they make the change for LCQ if they didn't qual with the roster for berlin in finals but they felt ready now.

Tangent to the tangent but I'm so glad someone said it 100T not playing sage on icebox will hurt them the further they go imo. Granted their icebox is already really really good as is so good that SEN bans it against them but it could be even better with sage over kj imo.

wrong flair :)

Wardell is still a bit too high for me and I think Vic could go ahead of both corey and leaf. Ultimately I think what every list has lacked, yours included is the importance of team success as good as a lot of these guys are the team success should be something to discern the good from the great. In sports like basketball, the top 10 are usually all comparable in skill but one thing that sets them apart is how they impact their teams in terms of winning. I think it should be the same in Val. Outside of Tenz and somewhat Asuna to a certain extent, the top 10 are very comparable. I mean are we really gonna objectively decided who is better between people like yay and corey or Victor and Sick? But what we can do is see that a team like Faze has seen a bit more success during VCTs in comparison to ABX and we can adjust the rankings accordingly. IMO at least
