China is going to become unstoppable by 2027

idk man thats like comparing the US to Egypt. China is a lot richer than people think

MVP 🐐🐐🐐🐐

chichoo for the whole tournament
kk for this game
so it depends on what the MVP is for

imagine how many people from CN will get into the game, winning the most important tournament in their first year of franchising.
gives sen winning masters 2 vibes, but amplified like 1000x

I COULD NOT PREDICT SHIT TO SAVE MY LIFE
WP FROM EDG DESERVED

hopefully they keep them selves composed for next year, I am excited for their future

honestly pls, we need this. After this tournament with trace and EDG I want to know more about china

WWW KANGSHEN

feels bad for heretics though

KK or CHICHOO
I would've confidently said chichoo around map 2, but KK had a record breaking series, I might have to favour him

BANGER SERIES TO END THE YEAR

only fitting end is thrifty 1v5 sheriff ace at 12-11

AS A BIASED FNATIC FAN THIS IS SECOND
BUT IF I WAS NEUTRAL I THINK THIS MIGHT JUST TAKE THE CAKE

I think this timeout helps heretics a lot too

COME ON 5 MORE

bro i dont even dislike them but they have they have to be the pair of most memable names 😭😭😭

win pistol, this series deserves to go to OT on map 5🙏

this series is a treat

BENJAMIN FISH

I think its 105, he needs 14 kills to break the record

to the last round of bind

lmfao

but you cant lie this is entertaining as hell.
at the end of the day esports is an entertainment product

100%

fr man the people who were saying this is the worst grand final after map 1 were so wrong

WHAT A WAY TO END THE MAP

mental boom

they got 2nd place in the last tournament with a sub
benjyfishy was huge in fortnite, now he's at the top of tier 1
th is a huge org too
2 rookies picked up from tier 2
boo was one of the worst players (stats wise at least) last year, so the glowup is insane

thank you

pls

PLEASE stop edging map 5 heretics

that was crazy, if he swung and lost thats the round gone

I don't mind who wins I just want this game to go on 🙏😭😭

fr man I will be happy no matter who wins but I'll also be sad no matter who wins

they will have an nrg moment trust
(I just want it to go to map 5)

I think it's not entirely a fair comparison, EDG were invited to all the events before this year, and people were constantly shitting on them for 'wasting' a slot.

But yeah as the other guy said EG winning champs was like mibr winning champs, so they probably take the cake

I absolutely shit the bed I was like at 60% but predicting 1 match correctly put me in top 5% 😭😭😭

I wonder who had the better underdog story, EG or EDG what do you think?

lmfao

top 10 clutch oat

I agree, but I also want EDG to win to have people finally put some respect on China. But Benjy dominating 2 games is something I wanna see too

https://strawpoll.com/w4nWWWOjYnA

with china

kangkang is amazing, but honestly what chichoo is doing on his role puts him ahead for me

chichoo mvp almost no room for debate right?

honestly? yeah

yeah, tbf they had the sub situation, but the thing was they were considered favourites to win in most of the tournaments (like for example back then expectations were to be on the calibre of LOUD and OPTC but they didn't really come that close)

2022 fnatic
2023 sen
2024 nrg
off the top of my head

nah

if it were a bo3 maybe, but I think it's not the end of the world since it's a bo5
