Bro that split comp from PRX was soooo bad

both apparently no?

Shahzam back in the first masters

well then

whatta performance by him and zekken too

you act as if some players aren't more interesting than others

How have you come to that conclusion?

You said they "destroy team vibes". Why you saying this like you knew what it was like?

How could you possibly judge someone's personalities from what you've seen online?

Isn't KC like hella clouted though?

I thought it was random except that teams won't get matched up with teams from the same group. If that's the case, we could get SEN v NRG and LOUD v EG no?

Possible, but it would come down to how fast the other team can adapt to EG's comps and non-meta plays

They play a different game on ascent

we will be watching

i think bros new to VLR

sigh chokers

At least you win the bilaterals

🤡🤡

just giving more time for daddy to call

Holy that last round was insane from NRG

wasnt bro gonna shave his head if EG won?

yeah, even Immi said on his stream they are very confident going into playoffs and I think he even tweeted about it after the game. but everything just fell apart.

I agree that him streaming is not a problem. I just tried to explain why people think it is

Most other players have stopped/rarely stream since the season started. Even bigger streamers like s0m didn't stream at all during Americas. I think people see that difference and try to point the stream as the reason why he/ the team is doing bad

Edit: I don't think him streaming is a problem, I'm trying to explain why others would see it as such

They said they've been working hard for playoffs, no clue what that hard work was for. They looked clueless in coordinating on the fly especially on defense and even set strats were messy.

tbh I gave up on g2 after split 2. but damn this was a differently level of ass

I've watched his Vod a couple of times and he just randomly ends the stream mid-series. I was so confused.

Bro went positive on all maps. Highest kills with 74 and +24 overall. He's insane.

yeah they needed him to live

I think they knew they couldn't counter the Furia comp with their usual Astra, Breach and Sova so they mirrored them.

yeah but as an org competing in international tournaments, I feel like EG should have made it a priority to make sure all the players including subs were eligible to travel right?

nah s0m has been doing really well. He's been pretty consistent in the past few games. This game was just the whole team playing poorly.

bro NRG look lost

According to Esports Charts, the final peaked at 1.2mil. Could still go up since game 2 just started

looking like melons out there

HEAVEN****

WHEN WE SPLIT B THROUGH HEAVEN WE NEED TO CLEAR B MAIN. WE KNOW THIS. SMH. THIS IS TEXTBOOK

So far so good by 100T

Yeah, I feel like it's one of those one-game wonders kinda thing. Same with G2 running double duelist with Jett and Neon on Haven - it was good for the first time since none of the teams were ready for the pacing, but it gets hard countered the next series.

Their Ascent comp is doggy no? So many gaps without a KJ and no one to cover for it

This is a weird situation IMO. Yes, they are saving, but the outcome isn't obvious since there was time to diffuse.

Why? Aspas even shot Marved a bit and ran down short? He could've stopped Marved? Even if Tuyz didn't DC who is to say he wouldn't have left the site already? The whole team was already out

man down, tried to get a trade by timing the ppl reloading behind the smoke

oh mb o7

there's no way you think ranked/streaming is as exhausting as a competitive bo3 elim

werid guy^

Sliggy actually analyses rounds - breaking down util and stuff while everyone else just comments on the obvious

its because he was the IGL and IGLs are "expected" to fix all team issues and have a flawless team in the mind of an average VLR user

Sliggy talks a lot about how good Verno is. But tbh, I feel like duelists always get more credit since they are on 'pop off' agents. Don't get me wrong, Verno is insane but being an initiator/support in the back lines helping the team doesn't give him much screen time IMO, hence the less hype. Every time he's in a clutch, he pops off and that's the only time we really get to see him.

oh wow

there is a role clash, there always was. When C9 picked Yay everyone was talking about the role clash, C9 said they would make it work and I think in one of their videos Vanity said they working around it. But apparently, not so true. They didn't do well at the Red Bull tourney and didn't do well at Lock In.
Pretty weird they drop 2022s top player over a role issue. Surely Yay is the last person you would want to drop.

Edit: Xeppa, Leaf and Vanity have been the C9 core for quite a while so I am assuming they didn't want to break that. Zellsis is flex so doesn't directly have a role clash with Yay.

Then again, it could be completely different and related to money. C9 lost quite a lot of sponsors last year I believe, they dropped their Apex roster too.
