Wouldn’t you say Ethan is quite a weak goat though? He doesn’t have any trophies other than the champs wins, so the moment another player has two champs wins he’s no longer the goat?

There’s quite a few champs winners on good teams though, such as Aspas and jawgemo and the nrg boys. I wouldn’t be shocked to see mibr win champs for an example.

Your looking good man give it some time and you’ll rank up

Let’s say you have two people with the same number of champs wins. What then?

Seen a lot more people including Ethan now in the goat convo

I’m curious, what is your criteria for GOAT?

Kinda funny, I feel a lot of people select a goat and then change their standards to justify their goat, rather than create standards and then pick a player that satisfies them.

Masterclass in not wasting info utility too
Can’t tell you have many tier1 pros drone something then dart immediately after, or kayo knife immediately after a sova dart, or skye dog see people and info flash for no reason

Ethan don’t waste his util

Interesting because tenz has only been to 5 internationals ever, and he gets critiqued for being inconsistent but 4/5 internationals he made he played well at
He’s only really had shaky domestic tournaments

He’s by far the goat support player too, especially when you consider he’s calling

He’s not the goat, but relevant for a third of 2021 + 2025, and 2/3 of 2023, that’s nearly 1.5 years

Alfajer Toronto > tenz Reykjavik, the difference in competition is monumental

I’d say Nats Berlin > tenz Reykjavik

We will see, this my prediction for kickoff, not for the whole year

Eggster will take a lil to acclimate to tier1 imo

100t will let him perma chamber and he’ll fry

Exactly, mibr were round from beating drx, fnc, and nrg, so they played very well at champions

C9 also were a solid team and were very overhated

Ty my goat

Couple round from beating both sen and nrg this year too, so a couple rounds from making champs

Xeppaa played a lot of sova and fade, I think that’s a non factor
The biggest question mark to me will be zellsis’s calling

Wasn’t that among their first ever games as a roster together?

How are c9 even in these discussions bro
They were literally top 4 in Americas and made a sidegrade

Istg people watching Val with their eyes closed

I think he’ll be really good tbh, I also think tejo is still viable in a few maps and g2 is one of the teams that’s very aware of that

Ok wtf check that game where he went 30-12, one of his opponents was in immortal but is now gold?????
wtf

No idea why it translated to Portuguese tbh

Tier list on how well I think the Americas players will be at kickoff
This is based on what my predicted form for these guys will be, so I have some rookies very high

Babybay did not clear him, they literally played together and Jonah was clearly better
0/8

People talking about how xeppaa is on a team and demon1 isn’t, but Jonah is a firepower and flexibility upgrade over xeppaa, while demon1 would prolly mess with their roles a bit

People talking about demon1 and yay but how is jonahp not on a team? Actually crazy

Come on now you can do a little bit better

Nah his name is sam it’s ok

I love you all unless your name Samuel

Aspas > Chron internationally (this will really get him going)

Summoning sentinelmain, let’s see if it works

Nah that was actually my 4th alt? Get ur facts straight

Never really see him in top 10 players in americas discussion, or global discussions when zekken is often in them, but john while calling has been putting up similar numbers

He’s very underrated as a player no? Was a top tier player in every single split of americas this year, on top of calling
Often popped off in all of the bo5s/big games even if his teammates were playing poorly

Even as far back as Madrid, you could argue he was actually the MVP, put up tenz/Zekken level fragging and was calling well

He’s so underrated as a player

LMFAO

For the record I am not a flordiddy glazer tho, the cases is actually remarkably similar to sinatraa’s

Why am I a “flordiddy” glazer

Didn’t they use to have him play vyse on this map? I agree then he should be the kj not the viper

It’s less that babybay is a bad sentinel and more leaf was a very good sentinel last year
I’d rather if they did drop Jonah that they picked up a flex instead

I have a soft spot for leaf tbh, was it worth forcing off sentinel for babybay of all players

I hope it never happens because it’s objectively impressive to be the best team in the world by winning a masters. Champs is not much harder to win than a masters, it shouldn’t be the only event that matters

The champs winner has rarely ever been the best team that year

Agreed.

Oxy has very high peaks before, just like meiy did last split
But because meiy had a better split more recently, people will pretend that meiy is better

If you compare their entire careers in tier 1 they are at a similar level

People will say meiy clears easily but in reality they are pretty much even, it’s just recency bias

EG are horrible management, shit vs piss debate

Forget that, people hate Saudi for how they treat LGBTQ and women but the US army can kill a million Iraqi men, women, children, LGBTQ and straight people searching for “WMDs” and get away with it

Elite hater
I don’t really support now that they don’t have som tbh

I find it hilarious people that virtue signal about china and EWC have no problem with nrg
I personally don’t care but hypocrisy is funny

Sponsored by the US military? Now that they been bought out I mean

Yeah he’s right that it’s not the only reason, but this is the first tacfps with a sizable amount of female player base as well

No fps culture or video games culture for women comparatively

I love you eStos
I hope furia get their shit together, just sad seeing them after watching cs

Got to be Stalin thread as bait
I think skrrt might genuinely believe in the nonsense leaving his mouth
