me?

jabbing at emea is fine
but why are we just disregarding fnatic?

woah woah woah
allat
respect for the effort though

good on you... chunky 😁

LMFAO

done reading, I thought it was about the sentinels team. I am a bit disappointed

holy crap thats cooking

People write off a 4th place position as nothing. It's probably affected by the sheer number of SEN fans, but SEN gets way more hype for winning madrid and coming 4th, than FNC did for winning back to back then placing 4th

idk 4/6 players + coach on LEV aren't from NA
The FNC game was close, and there was no clear favourite beforehand. So you can't really say they are better (as a team, not talking about champs performance only)

Overall I think at the highest level NA and EMEA are similar, but NA's middle of the pack teams are probably better than EMEA's

we?

It's a scouting issue not really a talent issue. FNC have been so good because of their ability to scout players like Alfajer and hiro. Even derke back in the day. When EMEA scouting catches up, EMEA will catch up to AMER I think. Another great example is heretics this year, they benefitted so much from actually pulling from the t2 pool

probably money, and maybe VIT have secured bonkar

would be a glowup for sure

cool, opens up the opportunity for VIT bonkar

baby dont hurt me

good list from what I can see by skimming through

FNC from SUMN FC in first strike, they made a deep run and were one of the orgless teams no one would think could get anywhere
(I also supported liquid for a bit since they had scream)

maybe bonkar comes back to emea?

even a player would be a bit odd, that would be the kind of thing the org announces. If it's a player it has to be either sheydos (requires buyout) or deffo since he's played with them, but I'd still be sceptical.
I think it's more likely to be a giveaway or brand partnership

yeah 2021/2022 NV/OPTC vs 2023 FNC I would love to watch

he's signed until 2026 and I don't see liquid letting him go so it shouldn't be him announcing F/A

I think the yoru thing is a bug. But I think it's gonna be pretty good in ranked, as for pro play idk, I think the value will come from the damaging trips

I like scream as a player, but the thing is that after this year I would just prefer if teams got new talent from tier 2 instead of recycling older talent

yeah icl you're never escaping this 😭

nah this makes no sense

I'm kinda curious, do you think aspas is good enough to be in tier 1? the way you type makes it sound like he doesn't. Or do you mean he should be at like the bottom of tier 1?

Yes, I think the discussion we should be having instead is: Is KK the player with the highest peak?

far too early for KK to be considered for goat status
best player itw atm yes, but goat means that they're the best when you consider all 4 years of play. For someone to become 'the goat' in 1 tournament they would have to do something ridiculous like average 1000 acs (not even sure if thats possible)

is MOUZ a huge org? Im unfamiliar. I know apeks is a big org in CS atleast

oh, but still very cool

ascension is soon i guess

chronicle spray to kill 3 people whilst flashed to win the game and send g2 home, on his birthday, after getting the fade knife twice in the same game

how did bro manage to write allat about scream

Boaster is good, but honestly he needs to teach the others how to micromanage them selves and make sure they stick to the plan on their own, I think that would open the opportunity for him to carry a bit more weight in terms of frags.
If that doesn’t work maybe a coaching position would be best for him, look at what happened to Haodong and EDG. Hiro is also a once in an era player to come across, so it might be a massive waste to let him sit on the bench or let him go

Yup

o7

thats a very normal name relative to the thread we're talking in

damn, he was a great player. he was part of putting JP on the map globally, especially with his chamber in 2022

honestly your stuff is mostly fine, I think if you could eventually get a 120-144hz monitor you're chilling. the wooting is more of a luxury thing but it does help

also make sure you wash your mousepad, it can make it feel good as new

yeah sometimes, but also note that the scale on tracker is from 20 to 80 so its less smoothed out. but listen bro its not about being better, its just about how much time you put in. 'hard work can beat talent when talent doesnt work hard' are words to live by

0.3 800dpi
razer viper pro v2
artisan zero? not sure (I got the smallest size on accident)
wooting 60he
ryzen 9 7950x3d, gigabyte something 4090
alienware aw2725df (or aw2527df, I can't remember which way around the numbers are)

but trust me you dont need allat.
decent mouse, plus the wooting and constant 120hz is what you need max, I only got all this stuff kind of recently

I like to think trembo single headedly ruined aspas' perception lmao

yeah pretty much valid

if my current hs% is anything to go by, go for it

I think TH if you count regionals

I bought origin, it sounded so bad that it actually conditioned me to stop spraying and start tapping.

I think it was in the regional masters

goated lineup

need to make it a win win 😭
