EDG 2-1 PRX

Either EDG or PRX. Those teams are mechanically ahead of pretty much everyone except FNC and while a lot of people say PRX just runs it down, they do have strategic depth. EDG has pretty good strategic depth and you can say that Giants made EDG seem not as strong as many anticipated, that game was also a hard antistrat.

Unless Buzz completely turns it up for DRX or EG players play career level games and are on top, its hard to say. I think any of those teams mentioned here have a chance.

idk, if you paid attention to the scrim rumors and they way EDG played in Tokyo versus how DRX played in Tokyo, it seems quite obvious. Right now though? Hard to say since DRX look really good and EDG got completely anti-stratted and it was up to mid rounding basically on their end.

Hard to say because it seemed like the coach really prepped Giants to win this one right off the bat with how their approach were.

dude's the biggest navi troll, just let him be dude. His team was in the dumpsters for like 3 months straight

just look at split and bind dude. On split, their util was so focused on forcing people off of positions. On bind, they only hit B because hitting A was where Kang Kang was.

idk, this stage thing was mostly to live up to the audience's expectations. During an interview conducted without an audience, he did say that they were going to focus on their own game and be humble.

Also, Giants tried anti-stratting the crap outta EDG but failed when it came to duels so

EDG 加油！

also, its jia you!

Giants did their homework here, similar to BLG vs NRG (though that might also be a playstyle diff). EDG were completely caught off guard on split.

something completely aim diffing kru?

KRU is losing to PRX rn?

it all comes back to mechanics and gun game. No need for 20 page strat book prep

this is a complete skill diff, no play style advantage will allow KRU to keep up imo.

Im just hoping that blg can somehow manage to put up a fight

I don't think you will be there for EDG's downfall since...it isn't happening. Though, on the other hand, we are all here for Loud's downfall right now.

Kang Kang diffed Whzy during qualifiers both times so...Kang Kang.

idk how true the laz - boaster thing was but its kinda hard to hate Boaster. He's a winning IGL that respects everyone and a chill dude overall.

The difference between him and Zombs is that Zombs was a world champion and his ego was not only justified, but it was developed over-time in the community between the Sen and TSM rivarly. EG here came outta no where and now are on the world stage.

Map 1, NRG got strat diffed in the midround and end game. They won 21 first bloods compared to BLG with 5 first bloods and were 5-0 up. One time out from BLG changed the midrounding approach and NRG basically were fighting against a team that could play the mid rounds to their advantage.

Map 2 was a complete skill diff. Whzy raze judge basically screwed over NRG mental + strat calling from biank + knight. By the second half pistol, it was basically a GG.

I mean, if you're an NRG fan, that was probably the most depressing game to watch of all time, especially on Lotus since Split was just a complete diff while Lotus was a combination of throwing and mid-round diff.

Nah, guard could potentially make a deep run internationally. Honestly, if the players weren't super sentimental with one another, they could keep the core and acquire more fragging power to be an NA super team.

nah, Lotus was a showcase of FNS being completely outclassed in strats. NRG had 21 first bloods compared to BLG's 5 first bloods and they won both pistols.

Split, I'll say that FNS couldn't handle BLG's secret weapon (whzy judge and switch up to AR to close up split) but yeah.

I mean, choking or not, still are super consistent at making a rather deep run.

What's funny is that the translator during that segment actually made knight seem more polite than it actually was for the non-chinese speaking viewers.

no.2 at Masters 2 (2021), top 8 champions 2021, top 4 at masters copenhagen, top 6 champions 2022?

My guy, boaster is the best igl in the world, idc what fragging power boostio has (went -10 against CN 3rd seed), I'd take boaster over boostio any day

Nats is top 3 sentinel maybe but he is not the best player in the world.

Check on twitch for valo2asia

LMAO, man said that if EG swapped Boostio for Boaster, they would win

If people start putting value in the fact that BLG were sort of keeping up against EDG, maybe this wouldn't have seem as surprising (still surprising asf regardless but the blow would have felt less surprising).

yeah but that was on split, only half of the series. PLUS, Whzy's rifles are what closed split out.

Dude, BLG were not aggressive at all on Lotus. They have 5 first bloods compared to NRG's 21

stocks in chinese teams weren't strong so people are going to start rethinking their decisions

At least 3x better than BLG so, champion contenders hopefully / probably.

They were aggressive on split maybe, Lotus they were quite slow and calculated.

he is also implying that EG is inferior to EDG with that type of logic (which, is probably true in my opinion)

nah its not shit, just not 'fluid' enough to be a proper translator

nah

60-75% of the game. His judge was insane but his rifle rounds are what closed split out.

She can speak it like a second gen Asian but from what I heard in prior interviews and speaking, she is still quite limited and a translator would work 10x better.

My name is Wang Hao "whzy" Zhe. I’m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of FRAUDMERICAS, where all the favellas are, and I am am married to smoking the NRG pack. I work as an employee for the North American AIRPORT ARRIVAL stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest, because I don't have to wait for NA teams to get eliminated. I don’t smoke, but I occasionally smoke the opposition. I’m in bed by 11 PM and I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. This is easy to do because I don't have to wait long for NA to lose their matches. After having a glass of warm milk and doing demon0's girlfriend for about twenty minutes before bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up feeling free, just like the entire region of NA.

I was told there that I was sick at my last check-up, because my gameplay is out of this world. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with nearest airport, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn’t lose to anyone, especially these noobs named "cumrag1" and "boosted".

Team that has never played internationally before no diffs (split specifically) top 2 NA team (all time, top 1 consistently).

CN top 2 > Americas top 3?

NRG is like a 2 man roster. If crashies or s0m die, the team needs to rely completely on pop off (this game specifically)

to be fair to anyone calling Whzy a judge one trick, his rifle rounds were also insane

This team is carried by s0m, yay wouldnt do shit

no.2 china vs no.2 na LMAO

They are winning off of s0m completely.

not for edward

I think Dallas would be much more feasible as much as I would like NYC.
