they should break up EMEA into EU, CIS, Turkey and MENA

It would be better for the scene as EU and CIS rightfully deserve their own spots with the insane teams they produce (FNC, ACE, TL, G3, GLD, M3C and FPX), Turkey has the biggest playerbase and MENA could grow as a region the same way that JP did

imo it just doesn't make sense to keep them together

Aren't basically all of the best LATAM players from Chile?

I HECKING LOVE MWZERA

TenZ - Duelist
ShahZaM- igl/initiator
SicK- flex
dapr- sentinel
zombs- controller

tell me this team won't win everything

flexinja doesn't join a team because he knows that if he were to play in vct it would be a 26-0 every time and viewership would die

I just don't get why you would play a viperless comp on breeze, the only reason I could think of is that they could use the neon wall as a psuedo substitute, but that doesn't last nearly long enough to have the same impact and it forces you to play off site as now you don't have the viper wall to help hold site on post plant. Also idk why you wouldn't want to abuse the Operator with how open Breeze is, we've seen F0rsakeN play pretty well on chamber.

Charles Neddington on his way to the back to back champions wins

You could put xeta in over FNS, they play some similar roles, but the problem is now there's no igl

when he was with the old boomers 100T he always looked his best when he was on raze and reyna and never on jett, he just struggles as the primary entry and thrives much more as the secondary entry, and right now in a single/zero duelist meta there's no space for duelist Asuna, so he has to play initiator. Give him time and I bet he'll adapt

could happen if Optic buy out C9 lol

TenZ is a jett one trick we need more flexibility than that

what are your champs predictions bro

holy shit I forgot vanity existed lmaooo

If PRX didn't play a ranked solo queue comp on Breeze I think they could have won it

who's a better igl than FNS, we definitely have enough firepower on this team to compensate for FNS's shitty ACS

I put him at flex, FNS I would put at primary initiator bc he plays breach and KAY/0 and on maps FNS plays viper then Asuna would play KAY/0 or fade. IMO he's not suited to be the entry but we saw how good he was at Reyna, and Kay/0 is basically like Reyna but better. Putting him on a more self-sufficient initiator could work well

it's the TenZ effect lol orgs saw SEN buy him for millions and now they think their players are worth the same

IMO this is the best possible roster that we would be able to put up

Entry duelist- Zekken
flex- Asuna
Chamber/AWP-yay
controller- Marved
igl- FNS

NA talent is too spread out among the teams, that's why regionally they all look so competitive but once they get out internationally, teams like FNATIC, PRX, and FPX who are filled to the brim with their regions best just roll them, if we made NA superteams then I bet there would be multiple NA reps in top 4

PRX also lost Breeze so idk what your point is

I would rather have had TGRD than XSET guaranteed for champs, morel likeable and the problems for TGRD are just more fixable than XSET's

Bad bait Jimmy cmon you’re better than this

The IEM Cologne viewership includes the Play-Ins which had some residentsleeper matchups in it, this is just disingenuous

WOO

Shao cock is just huge imagine peeking into a showstopper and viper ult

SHAO IS FUCKING INSANEEEEEEEEEE

WOW FNATIC FINALLY WON A ROUND

rito sucks at making groups

(impossible)

What the fuck is group A

IMO KR is a one team region because VS/DRX is basically the only representative, and the competition they get never is consistent and is a revolving door of Nuturn, On Slayers, Damwon and Maru but never really at the same time. Also, when it comes to playoff time, they just absolutely run through the competition, face it by the time they played againg CNJ they were already basically a guarantee for playoffs and that match didn't really matter, and they still did win 2-0 though it was close. In 2022, their map record in playoffs was 14-1, with the only map they dropped being against WGS in Challengers 1.

your logic is actually astounding

the dickriding is insane

where's M3C? enjoying the matches from home ig

Even if FPX lose they're still top 4 retard

The lower semifinal right now begs to differ

There's at least 2 international level teams in LATAM and they're challenged sometimes by like Fusion and E Xolos

y'all have to chill with the 1 team region narratives, an actual 1 team region is Korea, where DRX literally doesn't drop a single map and isn't challenged a single time. It's not APAC where PRX is at minimum a top 2 team, Xerxia are a competitive team in groups, and they are consistently challenged domestically, or NA where Optic is a top 3 team in the world and literally anybody else in the region could possibly get in that 2nd masters spot, or EMEA where FNATIC, FPX, and Guild are all playoff level teams, and teams that look like they are able to compete internationally are eliminated in challengers. Shut up about 1 team regions other than Korea and Brazil because they actually deserve it

yeah he looked pretty good with CPH Flames, but I literally haven't seen FNATIC at a single major event this year lol

bruh I forgot FNATIC has a CS team lmao

I think 1 even bigger screen would be better

why don't they just put one big screen instead of like 5 of them

it's sad to see such a map with such iconic matches leave but I get why it's gone

ur actually deaf if you can't hear it

hey man at least we are actually hearing a crowd this time even if its biased

Crowd sounds much more into it than earlier today

With the intercontinental franchise leagues coming, does that mean that a team in the Americas can have a completely mixed team with a bunch of people from BR LATAM and NA or is there some type of restriction

Wtf is the crowd supposed to react to during downtime

I bet all 3 Soniqs fans in the world care

I feel like there's at least a thousand different Liquid CSGO moments you could put for this
