I don’t think derke is as good as an entry/duelist as Aspas, especially on raze
Derke is a very good chamber though and comparable as a star player, but Aspas has better positioning so I think he’s a better duelist player

I was half joking
Derke is not a fraud, but I also don’t believe he is comparable to Aspas

If he proceeds to do nothing for all of 2024, sure
He did well in Americas league, well in Tokyo, incredible at champs, and only had one poor series in kickoff

Ik u are prolly baiting tho, so no point in discussing

Back in 2022 when Derrek mvped LCQ, people immediately made threads claiming he was the worlds best initiator or at least top 3
He then proceeded to do nothing special and get grouped and looked mediocre through all of 2023

People overreact way too much over one tourney, genuinely thinking demon1 is shit, Alfajer and Leo are washed, boaster should be kicked, navi are all frauds, mako is ass, etc

Reminder that at lock-in, EG couldn’t beat talon esports but went on to 2nd place Tokyo and win champs, let’s not lose our minds after like 5 matches

This is by default an unfair comparison
This is like comparing Karon and mako and saying Mako is better simply because he has been more consistent when mako has been playing for years in tier 1 longer

Another extremely reactionary post lol
He is still insane, his team was entirely differed by sentinels, and the blame is on the whole team and not on one single player
U are delusional if u think u can gauge how good he is after THREE matches, 2 of which he played fine in

Mfs be calling anything flukes

U are foul 😭

Every incredible map u have had has been on dot crosshair not the plus sign
You are insane on dot please main it 🙏

The number of sen fans have doubled in the last 2 weeks lol

He top 5 players in Americas and prolly the best smokes
Itw we gotta wait till Madrid but they are few good smokes players anymore so id put him top 3

Idk about prx < edg
Rest looks good to me

Teams can improve
Sacy had a horrible split performance as welll

Agreed
Qck just can’t compare with Zekken and tenz > tuyz
Everything else is roughly even with loud having better igling and sen with better map pool imo

Crashies victor and marved all look fine
Split was just a team diff and Ethan threw sunset

What we thinking? I think Sen 3-1 or 3-2 unless less turns into thanos

I won’t lie som clears marved
Marved is smarter and has better understanding of controller but som’s consistent fragging + clutch clears

Picking split was a big mistake, sen’s teamwork and coordination > antistratting
However regardless it’s clear that sen’s teamwork and set plays exceed NRG’s considerably, with only mechanical skill allowing for a even a map
Btw tenz looks unbelievable, top 5 Americas imo

Might be straight shit I ain’t gonna hold u 😭

No way Jeremy and especially invy are mid

He developed tuyz and cauanzin 🤷

I get downvoted every time I say this
He isn’t a bad player, but he is kinda mid

Can u blame me 😭

Because they don’t have saadhak as Igl

Ah I’m a moron u meant current EG roster
🤦

Really?
Boostio Jawgemo demon1 and Ethan are all excellent
Who would u consider mid?

I think he’s similar to soulcas, in that he crumbles under pressure
He is insane in 10 mans and ranked but painfully mid in matches

Agreed
I think maybe Xeppaa is slightly above mid tho

Agreed
He pops off enough not to get booted but is so mid

I’d argue both are just bad not mid
I can see ur angle

We have had frauds called out and top 10 lists before
Give me the MOST MID players in the world
Must be as mediocre as possible

Som harbor clears

One incident does not change that (cove)

Let saadhak cook

And Dgzin is not a good enough replacement imo

All 3 are good
No need to hate

Loud and optic love throwing maps so they can have pressure to win
Dw loud will push this to map 3 minimum

Potter 🤝 MCE developing tier 2 players into beasts

Com is a fraud
Everyone else on EG is incredibly good

Yeah mibr and g2 are better than loud and nrg that makes sense 🤡

On his way for sure

I think he will definitely commit to the OXG project for the next year and try and make it through ascension, unless he gets a really good offer mid season

Russia Brazil and USA would dominate prolly
Canada, South Korea, and Sweden prolly close behind

Trembo?

Thank god he got a good roster
He was such wasted potential on 2023 KC

Fnatic also not the greatest in team fights

Low key prolly correct
They don’t need a shooter IGLs with a stacked squad, and fns is one of the best pure IGLs ever

Bros tweaking
“Are you fuck you”

He’s the 4th best player on his own team
Not a single pro player thinks Aspas is worse than derke
42% of Derkes kills are Ecos (most in tier 1 Val)

He knew wtf

Derke? not good with raze

Derke has a 0.83 rating across all of kickoff
Never compare this fraud to Aspas ever again
