I missed the game. Shouldnt the winner of group C be against the winner of play ins? So shouldnt it be EG vs Sen?

Why did they put EG vs Loud and Sen vs NRG?

Sen and EG werent in the same group

Invy is the best player in pacific basically

Nivera

GC doesnt pull anything close to VCT numbers, less profit = lower level production

Something already took that :)

But do they have Shroud???

EDG are playing awful tactically but Giants are just not hitting shots. Nukkye looks like he played 1 wave of easy bots in the range and said "good enough, let's go." Fitinho missing easy shots especially with the sniper.

Giants vs KRU was better

Do not insult Balla ever again bro

Pumpsyslayer spitting facts!

What happened? What did Alfajer say?

Scream - Rifling
KK - Oping

If Russia/Ukraine stuff hadn't happened, Gambit would go down as the best team in the world pre-franchise.

1. Sayf
2. Alfajer
3. Derke
4. Aspas
5. Mako
6. Less
7. Leo
8. Nats
9. Chronicle
10. Forsaken

Way to make a point COMPLETELY unrelated to the topic. Well done lil bro

"If Demon1 could go to Tokyo..."

But never heard anything from you when M3C couldn't attend, or when Fnatic had subs, or when FPX went trough groups with subs and still won Copenhagen.

Protagonist syndrome from Burger Land

EG beat your 3rd best team lmao

"pounded"

14-12
16-14
13-11

Title

Josh and Bren surely

So what are Edward Gaming? World champions?

Spike first Ace in the tournament, someone sign this dude!

EMEA is more stacked 100%. The VRLs just improved the talent in EMEA tier 2 like no other region had. You might not have heard of the tier 2 players in EMEA if you don't follow the VRLs but there are some insane players you will get to know in 2023. EMEA tier 2 scene is the healthiest of all the regions.

Scream
xMs
Nivera
Enzo
Kadavra

Jamppi
nAts
Redgar
Sayf
Nukkye/Zeek/soulcas (not sure if soulcas would leave)

They NEED to get Redgar. If Nats to TL I hope they get Redgar too. Nivera hasnt been performing that well, even though he is Scream's brother he might have to go if they pick up both Nats and Redgar

I live in the UK and my ping to London servers is usually between 10 and 15. Netherlands is not too far but 17 seems a bit low for Netherlands. Sounds like he is in the UK. Was his ping fluctuating higher than 17?

Sheydos is amazing but I think Leo is an upgrade (slightly). Obviously I cant take chemistry into account but i agree that Sheydos is an incredible player

Hence the "if" :)

Best team in the world on paper:

Yay
Chronicle
Redgar
Nats
Leo

This team with a good coaching staff would be DEADLY!

Hoping Redgar to Liquid, but that would be good too

Yay
Chronicle
SUYGETSU
Leo
Ange1

Yay is slightly better than Derke right now but there is no reason to disrupt team chemistry built over years just for a gamble. yay might not fit well in the Fnatic system, it's too much of a risk.

As for who replaces Mistic? I would LOVE to see Nats. What a team!

Derke
Alfajer
Boaster
Enzo
Nats

Crem

Viper
EU
Vandal

Watch them with their full roster and you will see. When they have subs they rely on joyous whimsy. When they had subs for Challengers 1 Ange1 was playing Jett and challenging every gunfight (and they still won), but with their full team I feel like they play coordinated and they are incredible at it.

Fnatic trialed him a while back but his English wasn't good enough. If he steps up his English, he has a bright career ahead of him

Scream better rifler, Yay better oper

After 5 days of back to back matches with no time to prep when their country is at war, stressing over Visa situations and with deffo suffering from health issues....

Best 2 teams not in the tournament (Gambit and FPX), the 3rd best played with 2 subs (Fnatic)

.

They could still just bench Hiko but keep him on the team and have BabyJ playing instead of him

Fnatic only has 1 CIS player
