I wasn't able to catch the Guard match. What's the problem rn? I see some role changes.. Jonah on main duelist, Saya on Chamber and net on breach. Anyone know why or if it worked at all?

top 3 igl world but yeah he must be shit

i wouldnt say hes super arrogant but hes confident and talks the big talk like cadian not afraid to call people out

FNS maybe?

?

^ jk ab the title. But watching the PGL Major yesterday was fucking nuts. IDK if it was the crowd or the production w the cameras and all but Ik absolutely nothing about CS and it was still insane to watch. Masters was still dope but they need a crowd it j makes it sm better

See for me idk if thats true. I honestly think some of the CS teams could take a map on Val.

2-1s or 2-0s tho... like for example if M3C had to 2-1 in Val but NaVi 2-0 in CS, then NaVi wins the matchup

One Bo3 of each game

M3C vs NaVi
OpTic vs FaZe
FPX vs ENCE
Loud vs C9 CS
DRX vs G2 CS

What would happen? Would the Val teams make it closer in CS matches or would the CS teams make it closer in the Val matches?

Edit: each team is given 2 weeks to bootcamp the opposite game.

wow. that kinda sucks man. sadge, i loved watching them as a group, but they are still good friends i believe so no hard feelings.

at least get zander if your gonna make a mid season change? flyuh??? what does he offer over poach?

This format would be kind of dope for VCT no? Idk if BO1s would be good tho with 13 round wins but the swiss group stage is dope IMO and better than the GSL that Riot runs for VCT. And there would be more teams (24 instead of 12/16). Thoughts?

let me clear things up for you. If we're comparing off no international information, we look at domestic information. Loud has never dropped a map in brazil. multiple teams have beaten both guard and optic, and NA has had multiple representatives have good showings. other NA teams like NRG's perfromance vs OpTic/Guard/C9/SEN are much closer than other Brazil teams vs Loud. By that metric, NA teams are better, considering OpTic beat Loud. Understand?

American league* sorry

Maybe but Furia and Pain are so shit lmao and NiP is actually decent

Sure, NiP may be better than Kru, but NiP looked lost internationally so that doesn't mean much to me. They still don't hold a candle to OpTic/Loud/C9
V1 would beat every Latam team outside of Kru and would beat VK, could 2-1 NiP. They looked bad in OQ2 because they had no time to practice because of issues with wippie's visa.
I never said NRG is a top tier team, but VK/Leviatan/Fusion/NiP haven't done shit internationally either, so it comes down to who's better, and I'm going with NRG/
Guard lost to the champions and a top 4 team without any warm up matches on LAN, and their all super young and inexperienced. Their iceland performance doesn't mean shit to me, and they will figure out their problems in groups.
C9 beat DRX (VS at the time), lost to Liquid by like 5 rounds. NiP got slaughtered by DRX by like 20 rounds.

At the end of the day, your argument doesn't make sense because you're putting emphasis on "no international results" but Brazil never made it out of the group stage before Loud and Loud is their only internationally successful team. LATAM had 1 instance of international success.

Let's say hypothetically the teams were
BR: Loud, NiP, VK
LATAM: KRU, Fusion, Leviatan
NA: OpTic, Guard, C9, XSET, V1, NRG

Top 2: Loud + OpTic
3-5: C9 + Guard + KRU
6-10: NRG + NiP + V1 + Fusion + XSET
11-12: VK + Leviatan

3/top 5 = NA

Brazil is the most unserious, uncompetetive region in all of VCT. Nobody can touch loud, it's not even close. Add VK/MIBR if you want more Brazilian teams, but Brazil is quite literally the definition of a top heavy, 1 team region.

LATAM has done nothing on LAN outside of champs run (fluke?) Add Leviatan if you want but they got wiped by NiP, and NiP bombed out on LAN.

NA is so much more competitive, both domestically and internationally. NA has outperformed both BR and LATAM in every international event and has the 2nd best results behind EMEA. There is also way more depth - NA's top 10 destroys BR/LATAM top 10 (minus loud)

Brazil:
Loud, NiP

LATAM N:
Fusion

LATAM S:
KRU

NA:
OpTic, C9, Guard, SEN, 100T, NRG, TSM, XSET

Thoughts?

Any unbiased, smart viewers. I wasn't able to watch the TSM match but the scorelines looked close. Did TSM look good today vs NRG? Chance for playoffs?

I hope T1 blows this project up and rebuilds, I wanna see Xeta succeed I love that guy. Get pwny off the team and look for options for Thwifo but stick with him if nothing comes up. Dynamic is good and Steel is a good IGL so keep them I guess

T1 taking Autumn and Xeta (2 korean natives) from C9 and staying in NA??? What???
C9 trading Xeta for Curry???? Hello????

this comp is bonkers lmao

TRUST IN BOASTER HE AINT GOING AWAY

Yeah…that’s why you never make up random assumptions LMAO

that is a horrific idea

This sentinels bind comp is fucking shit holy. Jett, Omen, Sova

Sen and EG aren't in 100T's group

TSM will make it through trust

oh mb sen won 2-1 the other time but it wasn't very convincing

sentinels lost twice to akrew they can lose to anyone

my fault i forgot to take that out, 100T beat ghost and ghost's only win is vs XSET

George Geddes announced

so they're good only on haven?

still angry? im sorry my question hurt ur feelings that bad, i hope u feel better. prayers up, much love. hope u manage to figure out ur excessive cursing doesn't make u sound any less cornier. glgl

looked thru ur messages, u seem to have an affinity for using slurs and generally being lost in life. i hope u figure it out, would hate to see a fellow human struggle to find peace in his mind

LMFAO asking a question about a very public situation considering her last 100 tweets are about it is prying and deranged? thats interesting

true, mb. just was wondering.

i mean when someone has been subtweeting for a month it seems like a valid question to be raised. but the reaction is different when there are threads tearing him down for his "ego"?

not sure if u struggle with reading comprehension. not once did i call him out for anything, simply asking a question about a situation that someone has tweeted about for the last 2 months

not starting rumors, she's been tweeting about it

There's been a few threads about BabyJ being a bad person character wise etc and I was wondering if he cheated on his gf catlyn? She's been tweeting a lot about her shit relationship and shitty ex but maybe that's something different if anyone knows.

1. that happened at 1 masters and it's not a thing anymore nor was it a thing at 2021 reykjavik, so that argument doesn't make sense.
2. yeah NA is definitely gonna get rekt man! 2 masters wins and a 2nd place but yes!

this major minor shit is so fucking funny because they're all the same format w like $200k more prize pool lmao theres no difference between winning champions and masters

i mean kat is on smokes lol

true although to that point i feel like only mel kat and jazzy hold their own against male teams. no hate, just an observation. obviously alexis and annie could be util gods but idk i dont watch the open qualis

Group A (Group of death):
FPX
Acend
Fnatic
G2
OG LDN UTD
FOKUS

Group B:
M3C
Guild
Navi
Liquid
BIG
BBL

Who would win this matchup? Both teams dominate their respective regions and are probably top 2 female teams in the world. C9W has close matches with their challenger SR but destroyed them last GF and G2G doesn't drop maps. What do you guys think?

this has to be a troll right? they enter every tournament, there are no restrictions against them playing and they have the best female roster. considering they are an all-female roster, there's nothing else to invest in unless you mean bootcamp. i support c9w and i think they have insane players but saying they don't have the same opportunities/resources makes no sense.

I think mada can be argued as a top 3 raze NA. Thoughts?
