Imagine if they’d gotten sato, cauanzin, pancada, luxko, saadhak

It’s just sad he left. I feel like the mibr and loud projects where more promising than the kc one given that avez wasn’t proven and elite and marteen looked kind of inconsistent

He’s played for br teams his whole life, speaks fluent Portuguese and I think is married to a Brazilian
Brazilian talent is also what made him relevant in both paladins and valorant

Been washed for a while brotha

Kinda cucked Brazil no?
Loud fell apart without him, if he’s gone to mibr they woulda been bonkers as well
Kinda sad low key, Brazil has Aimers but few callers so him leaving really hurts

He was still consistent throughout, but really shone during champs
Comparing his stats to chron is a bit misleading because he faced harder and beat better competition at champs and Shanghai and Madrid (which fnc missed)

Texture Karon and munchkin are pistol specialists, they always good for 1-2

After 1 map (his worst map of the tourney) is s tier dickriding tbh

He had a prettt shaky start to the year no? And was mid in stage 1 + Shanghai. Not top 10 over Zekken, tenz, Leo, riens, kk, chichoo, Aspas, Derke, texture, or meteor.

Sacy is both less accomplished and individually a worse player than chronicle

He’s not the goat, just the most accomplished player
Prolly top 5 all time tho

Yeah don’t let him comm either with his freaky ass

Historically havent first seeds always played worse/have a lower tourney win percentage?

Should riot just do away with first seeds? Maybe make them have a first round bye in group stage instead?

Put that boy on duelist and let him cook

Should changed before stage 1 then. Tejo was picked a lot in Bangkok

If you ignore trophies and look only at individual skill, the only potential candidates are Leo and derke.

Imo, after every lan the meta should change. This means each split (regional split + the associated international event that the regional split qualifies you for) is all one meta. The team that is the best in that meta should dominate regionally and internationally. After each lan you then change the meta. This is what makes the most sense for me.

Sen was NA’s best team before Tejo (think champs)
Geng was apac overall best team before tejo
Edg would likely be here without tejo

Therefore changing it after the qualification stage for the intl event is kinda annoying, means that the best teams at the meta for the lan event might not be the ones that made it through the qual stage.

If rito changes the meta every single time before a masters, then the exact order of the region top 3 is rarely ever accurate
I doubt g2 would have beaten 100t and EG without tejo (despite being better than them)
This is why the first seeds struggle; they are the best team of their region in the previous meta, not the current one.

I think rito should instead change after each intl event. That way the teams that play well would be the best in the current meta.

They’d almost certainly win lock-in and Americas league, and have a decent chance at winning champs too considering how close the EG match was and how prx loves to throw in finals.

I’d have leaf over valyn if you compare their careers on c9 v guard

Loud 2022 might be the BEST team OAT but fnatic have two lan wins and a similar overall number of deep tournament runs
Imo greatest =\ best

Crazy the shit he was doing
I’d also say champs yay, Americas League Aspas, and Berlin/champs cned

Would most people consider fnatic as the greatest team OAT still? Curious to see whether people’s opinions has changed
Who would be second? Sen or Loud?

1.16 (3 map banger, has two good maps and one slow map where geng gets stomped)

Sayf was fantastic on guild in 2022, tl in 2023, and vitality in 2024
It’s only this year he’s been shit

On yukky’s soul this game ends in a 2-0

We need a raze buff. The other duelists all seem pretty good.

Plays of their duos of aces (miniboo and woot) and (Aspas and Cortezia) is insane riens and verno erasure tbh

Isn’t prx 0-3 to sen?

The defense side on split especially was poor. G2 played very passive on the mains and heavy retake setups but without Tejo their retakes didn’t feel so effective. Prx basically got to get map control and site execs for free.

Can see this happening because jemkin was so unbelievably dominant I wonder what happens if he has a bad game

Still sucks that edg kicked Simon, they so unbelievably regionally dominant before

I mean they are rivals right….

Genuinely could happen with geng and especially sexture’s form rn

Is Emea a fraudulent region?
Except for fnc ofc ❤️
Is Americas a fraudulent region?
Except for sen ofc ❤️

Pacific is perfect tho 3/3

What did he say about kk?

What part of this is bait I’m saying sen deserves respect for beating wolves and blg

BLG and wolves are great teams
BLG beat tl, and wolves stomped th
Looks bad for fnc if the “overrated shitcan” team is beating them doesn’t it

Agreed. Another thing is that he doesn’t usually make mistakes and die for free which is very important when ur a sentinel and playing the weak side.

Idk; nats might prefer igling and staying in Europe, meteor isn’t confident in English, and leafs team has so far (until rn) looked to be the more consistent roster. It’s unlikely these 3 come to sen.

I mean he’s been with the core for many years now, likely is deeply involved with the team dynamic. Getting rid of him unless sen start tanking for a potential upgrade is stupid, we have seen this before with simon and Russ for an example.

Also what t2 sentinel stands out to replace him?

This is pretty important because I feel like players like narrate and bang can get in their heads when they tilt

Elite ball knowledge but aljo is big even for 145 it would be close

Fade is not his strongest agent comparatively so idk

I don’t think g2 is most boring team, they just don’t have a diehard fan base that glazes everything they do so they feel less exciting

Idk man, his rookie year, I didn’t see nearly as many random misplays in certain positions. Like he might throw occasionally, but it’s more likely his entire team fucked up a piece of util or overheated. Nowadays, he will hold a wide angle while solo anchoring a site, swing through a smoke with no util up numbers, etc. just bizarre at times.

Some of the angles he held or fights he took in their last series was baffling. It’s not a onetime occurrence either. He gets away with it because he’s way more mechanically skilled than other players who struggle with the same flaws.

I’ve always felt this, but he might have the worst decision making in tier 1. Perhaps I’m lowballing angel Berlin lysoar and asuna but they lack his mechanical skill and potential. Some of his decisions are absolutely bizarre.
