you're missing the point entirely Faze's entire gameplan and the way they play the map was counter strated hard by 100T that whole game, if it wasn't then Faze wouldn't have won in the Upper bracket.

The same thing happens with teams like Loud vs Optic during masters 1

And the same thing happened with Nth vs Zeta in the GF.

Teams learn a lot more from a loss than they do from crushing everything. Which is why Nth came in with a really good gameplan on Zeta's strong maps to counter them.

Thats why I said a rematch, rematches against a team you just played a day or two before is always hard to win. For example Faze and 100t during LCQ in the past like 4 days.

S - FPX, Optic, PRX, DRX
A - FNATIC, LOUD, ZETA, EDG
B - XSET, KRU, 100T, Leviatan, TL
C - FURIA, BOOM, XERXIA

Edit: People like to discredit Zeta a lot, but as soon as they came out of Masters 1 they only lost one series in the Grand finals which was a rematch, also they've been bootcamping in Poland in preparation for Champs.

The only thing that really could hurt them is the loss of TENNN but he still has the ability to recover in time, Zeta, EDG, and DRX are all scrim partners so I see them all doing good.
I could also see 100t or Leviatan doing better.

TENNN still has a chance to play in champs as he is recovering fast, however I don't believe he is currently at the bootcamp with them in Poland

Sure the guy is a great analyst but I think you're looking at it the wrong way. When tier one teams go into mickey mouses they don't participate in them to solely win, they go in with a gameplan to test things out or fix things that can be ironed out easily. When a tier one team in this game loses a mickey mouse it means nothing as they're not even aiming for the win.

For example before this tournament Jonah was never main op on some maps, now he is, role swaps and different comps are a common thing to test.

awesome they get to disband now

holy fuck this is weird, had a competitive series and wants do something he enjoys after a loss and people still try to perpetuate this shitty ass narrative. this shit is dead

leave a bad team to win a major... are you drunk?

holy shit mwzera is buns, a month of hyping it up just for them to get 2-0ed come on now

Everyone used to op on sova and think jett was bad

glad they kept shanks as a content creator, he wouldve singlehandedly run the team into the ground

i think you're forgetting the whole thing about winning a major but stay weird ig.

thats literally what bandwagoning means kid

so far its not too crazy

Nth 2-0 meteor will be smurfing this game

eventually every team will be in need of new talent no team can keep recycling the same players in the scene over and over and expect it to work

Riot needs to implement some changes to the tournament economy throughout the year and the system itself:

1. Make larger 3rd party tournaments or LANs throughout the rest of the year after champs (or starting now)

2. While the idea of franchising means that there are no promotions, teams that are good enough to compete shouldn't have to wait for a roster change just to compete on the main stage. Keeping the idea of open brackets and new talent entering keeps the scene alive for longer.

No new talent being filtered through a lack of a healthy tier 2 scene means the sport will die fast, that's why esports like CSGO have lasted so long (not including Louvre agreement).

Thoughts?

TenZ????

NA= Sentinels
EMEA= M3C
APAC= TS
SA= KRÜ
EA= NTH

If PRX has million number of fans i am one of them. if PRX has ten fans i am one of them. If PRX has only one fan and that is me. if PRX has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth

*you're

The heavy default style by FPX and just contacting and prodding for information is a complete stylistic difference from PRX, their default is so well put together to counter the aggression that It's catching PRX off guard since they're not used to this slow of a style.

What PRX could do to counter it.
Instead of full committing on rolling over the whole team, they should focus on getting man advantage by 1 or 2 kills and backing up and playing passive.

That seems to be their only true flaw on their defensive rounds when playing against a style like FPX.

Other than that usually their trading and offensive rounds and post plants are strong.

Edit: also they should be trying to delay them more on time as they usually get a plant down with 20-30 seconds or less into the round.

he has said he would

Plus they still have the yoru comp to play with and they get all map bans

not the liquid fan....

good he was xenophobic and had no remorse, no place for that here

all of the teams have already been decided for champs through circuit points, the only slots left are through the respective LCQ tournaments

it was tarik's soundboard...

respect

we shall see

what u doing if they lose?

I want to see a close series between these two teams, because they are my favorite two teams to watch right now.

I'd honestly be glad if PRX or Optic win copenhagen.

the G2 flair makes this even funnier

fake fan

Going by the current script we have this masters, this last map on facture should be a banger (HOPEFULLY)

what if I like both teams man fck

well you'll always have your ult account

you do realize turkey as a country is secular right?

all time classic

what do you know about being a 'good human' and what gives you the right to judge, maybe steel and the rest of his team shouldnt have match fixed in the first place dimwit

unlucky fam, we'll see at the end of this week what happens

"optic will never win a map against optic"

"fnatic gonna stomp prx"

good evening anyone up there? knock knock

I played COD semi professionally until right before cold war release, I'm waiting till another decent game comes out from them to try competing again

(I did also play and watch CS)

You do realize neither of your teams will be winning the event right

the UK cant relate to that

I actually enjoy it a lot, split to me is just so boring and default heavy, and a map so defender sided needs to be reworked more.

Some of the players on the Na and Eu teams have LAN experience in front of a crowd, the only one I'm not entirely sure if they do or not is Paper Rex

SugarZer0's ace against liquid to win the game on split

To bring Cypher more in line instead of just nerfing chamber into oblivion because riot like to over nerf agents.

Some proposed ideas:

1. Add back the slow to cages/ make cages last longer
2. Remove the cypher ping and make it more like sova's for his ult and cam. (maybe 2 pings like drone)
3. Make the stun effect on the trip pop faster (allows kill trips to be more effective and catches entries like jett or neon easier)
4. Allow the trip to catch more than one person at a time.

I don't even know what they should do for killjoy tbh since every piece of utility in the game seems to counter her.
