Im so jobless replying immediately lol but I think you mentioned about putting QCK on viper since Loud runs viper on every map so I was just referencing that

I think FPX could have at least won breeze if autumn was awake

I just dont think its worth removing in form tuyz and less in their roles for QCK to have a chance at a better performance, not right now at least, maybe before split 1 its worth a shot

QCK on viper is aids icl and tuyz is such a good controller than removing him from omen sounds insane. And you are right about lacking individual prowess, that is also why they avoid running him on agents needing that, like jett and raze. That being said, I think he might fit neon pretty well since it will force him to be aggressive and he can really put other teams in an uncomfortable spot, which should give him an edge. The roles cannot be changed imo, just need QCK to lock in really hard.

Honestly speaking, a big factor behind prx winning is the individual form, and rn they look a little worse than last year. They still create the chaos, they just don't thrive in it as much anymore. Not excusing monyet though, but I do think prx will figure it out as they already stated in the interviews that they don't care about winning here as much, and pacific looks considerably more free than other regions except China

Pearl instead PLEASE NO FRACTURE

have something on breach and double stun T_T

Play monyet on neon every map and have him stun every.single.fight and then boom

only zekken for what? Also prx last year had everyone shooting well, especially d4v41

Nah you dont get me either, but its cool have a nice day

why dont you rep fut anymore :(

Ah yes the highest peak for a duelist is not the duelist player with the highest recorded acs in an international tournament

edit: not a nice list :(

vetoes weren't bad at all, both sen and kc have nearly identical maps where they excel at. Kc bans ascent, Sen bans Breeze and everything else is somewhat equal

could have passed to be a fan if he spent more time shitting on the other fans than on the players instead lol

this guys been waffling about how he used to be a sen fan and took his flair off because of the fans lmao

any run compared to sen 21 is gonna fall flat, winning the first masters ever without dropping a single map is ridiculous

simply based on roles, sen is more often to lose a round without tenz than without zekken because omen smokes and he can still entry if zekken is not there

Its mostly baiters, dont worry about it sacy is the goat

alexa play seasons by wave to earth

Except each teams don't have the same odds, and by such each groups don't either. Champs 2023, group d had 4 teams Navi, liquid (maybe not as much), Loud and DRX, and all 4 were good enough to get through, but because of their groups they didn't qualify over other teams like EDG, Fut, Billi Billi. Now this on paper sounds harder, but is also extremely unfair to the good teams getting grouped with other good teams.

And since we are statistically talking about odds here, then again because the wider the group catalogs get, the worse teams get because usually there are only 2 teams that can hang with each other in a region. Now it doesn't look like that, but in the past it has. Americas last year was Loud and EG; EMEA was just FNC, Pacific was just PRX. So when you add worse teams, you basically get freebies in the system that give an advantage to any top tier team that ends up facing them. So when you do your odds calculation, it is not a simple even odds case, some teams will have higher odds, and others with lower, which will be treated as a free +1

I think your point would be more valid had fpx faced any team except the clear favorites for madrid

You are lowkey really harsh on fpx, they may not have looked strategically deep but individually they are a good team. Really unlucky to have faced KC and compared to the freebies in masters and champs before, they are better imo

heavy cypher meta and Loud hates sentinels too and avoid it as much as possible. If you build your team around what the meta is, and not what the best fit for the team is then you won't go far. Yoru and Neon are not any more meta than last year, jett and raze have not been nerfed, kj's nerf was only the turret mainly and cypher is really strong, but the yoru comps aren't just a way to beat it, otherwise youd see a lot of sovas too. Plus, neon on sunset is such a troll pick on paper but TH make it look like the best comp. These comps rely on individuals thriving and being dominant on a comfort agent, and if for paper rex its 3 duelists no ini, then thats it.

I may not think 3 duelist is the best comp, but that is irrespective of the players themselves. Their phoenix on pearl was also questionable, reyna on ascent and bind, yoru on bind, many comps have been questionable. As long as they as a team think theyre fine balling out with it, I'd much rather see them play well on an off meta team than get smacked around trying too hard to fit the meta imo

when it works its genius, when it doesn't work its stupid, thats just the way it

they didn't look their best, and I'd know that well....as my flair.........

patitek when it mattered was crazy bro needs to be picked up on a t1 team after he gets benched

Patitiek is the stand in

Best game so far?

he plays professor p's role, and as a player is not better than him. But, he will be good for mid-rounding and opping. It would be better to drop leaf instead, but shahz will also need to play raze then, overall nah imo

oml we are good family shaming T_TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

he is lowkey like the soulcas of americas, incredible mechanically but inconsistent

who plays kayo on ascent?

The only way is have to tenz play an aggressive role again, which means you need to find a suitable replacement for lets say kayo, who can flash, but also get away in case of danger. And then on ascent, not much can be done, zekkinho just needs to be more consistence with the op

-

more so its just that the usual double dive with tenz and zekken cannot happen anymore because tenz has to play back as a kay o

they landed in madrid like 3ish hours ago lmao and prx landed 7 hours ago

I wanted steel and/or BabyBay ngl they were so good

they didnt wanna reveal yay yoru bro

tbh man, being social is key, but also what matters is the type of person you wanna be social with. Like, if you randomly try to be friends with a person who isn't very social then it wont be reciprocated, maybe theyre academic oriented, so youre gonna wanna use academics as a way to get close first. You gotta know your destination, before you can start your journey yk

bro this one girl would constantly ask me to come to her house so she could braid my hair (had long hair for a while) and she could make some bubble tea and we'd drink together and I completely dismissed it every damn time, partially because at the start I didn't catch on, but by the time I thought something was up, I was already good friends with her ex who had told me he wanted her back

both neymar and pancada got me moving different mghmhmhh

icl you MIGHT be the goat for this

bro this is like the tenz situation all over again, I feel like a fortune teller for predicting this back in 2022

Saadhak lives for these moments, if only prx can run 3 duelist all maps and then we will be fine

While I think sens decision is correct, I really do just miss watching pancada play, 2022 Loud champs is my favorite team, only par with tokyo 23 prx so I am just biased but pancada is too good to not be starting for any other team

Back to Loud after qck leaves and tuyz swaps to duelist. I love qck tho he is a cool player.

I miss pancada man
