it all depends on aspas. if he gets back to his stage 1 and kickoff form things will go well. if not mibr is gonna stay trash

GOATEZIA 🐐

your logic is inconsistent.

when asked why EMEA was above PAC in 2024 your answer was:

"Madrid: PAC >= AMER > EMEA > CN - trophy: AMER
Shanghai: EMEA > AMER > PAC > CN - trophy: PAC
Champs 24: AMER > EMEA > CN > PAC - trophy: CN"

but if we use that exact same logic for 2025:

Bangkok: PAC > AMER > EMEA > CN
Toronto: PAC > AMER > CN > EMEA

so PAC consistently outperformed AMER and EMEA. EMEA placed 3rd and 4th. AMER was 2nd both times.

so how exactly is EMEA above AMER in 2025? is it because of the mickey mouse EWC or what?

he legit threw all 4 rounds they lost

bro just say aspas

because teams like 100T love renewing asuna's contract for the 1000th time instead of taking a risk on anyone outside NA

i was not talking about you specifically i was referring to the EU audience in general

people leaving Raphinha out of the top 5 is wild. some are even saying Mbappe had a better season. man was la liga MVP and easily Barça’s top performer in the UCL. the level of disrespect is unreal.

fact is: LOUD and LEV were garbage after he left and LEV and MIBR were garbage before he got there

Aspas

their map 2 was good only map 3 was terrible

You fools are clueless about the game. Robbie Burger King best IGL in Americas after Valyn. Calling masterclass. Lukxo best talent in the region. Virtyy top 3 duelist.

Sideshow you bald fucking fraud put this team in 11th when they are top 4 in the region ya GOOF

i am pretty sure that both LEV and LOUD are comms in english

sato must have a crazy FK rate

he is right. skuba completely changed NRG, TL looked awful without nats and G2 without leaf was a disaster

what i am saying is: one player does make a difference

that being said i have zero hope for FUR.

saying "for some reason" like we don't all know why by now is just crazy

kickoff they played with 5 na players

stage 1 they had to pick up pryze cause they could not sign basic due to visa

now stage 2 and basic and the entire coaching staff can’t get in. they are literally playing with adverso rn

ah, so they inherited the naming skills

USA is honestly the worst country name out there. if you think about it, it’s not even a real name, it’s just a description. it literally means a bunch of states that are united in America. that is like naming a person ‘United Organs of the Human Body.’

he deserves the ballon dor this year way more than Rodri did last year

ASPAS CHEIO DE FACAS, A JETT ESTAS CONVOSCO, BENDITA SMOKE ENTRE OS PRO PLAYERS E BENDITO E O ACE DO VOSSO REI ASPAS. ASPAS MARIA FILHO DE SAADHAK, JOGAI POR NOS BRASILEIROS AGORA E NA HORA DE NOSSA VITORIA , AMEM!!!

🗣️ I'M GONNA SAY IT. ASPAS 😤 I DON'T THINK HE'S A BAD PLAYER 🧍‍♂️ JUST OVERRATED 📈❌ HE'S NOT THAT GOOD 🤷 I THINK HE'S JUST A BAITER 🐭 U KNOW 🧠

why does your comment instantly get 4 upvotes?

you are seriously telling lev to only pick up neon from their academy?

like bro, that might be the best tier 2 team in the world right now

"past his prime" that was aspas in the matches where he got knocked out:

https://www.vlr.gg/475908/mibr-vs-g2-esports-champions-tour-2025-americas-stage-1-lbf

fifa just wants more money and global attention. the current club world cup is short, barely anyone outside of south america and brazil cares. they are trying to turn it into some elite level, “worldwide champions league” type event so they can sell more tv rights, get bigger sponsors, pull in more viewers, etc.

at the end of the day it’s just about the money. always has been.

they never handled pressure well always underperforming in big matches, and with less, aspas, and saadhak gone all that pressure landed squarely on them

i would have loved to see how loud 22 would match up against fnc 23

sadly sentinels took that possibility away from us forever

is your entire analysis just based on the ewc? where did you even get that "low defensive win rate" stat for mibr? and btw, they literally only got stomped by one team in their region(sentinels).

Calma, a mibr tinha uma desvantagem óbvia nesse ewc, tanto que das 4 terceiras seeds do Masters, apenas uma ainda pode se classificar.

Na minha opinião, tem que esperar o Masters pra ver o real nível da mibr.

this pearl was 100% comp diff

masters 2 is when the game actually starts. teams have developed synergy, comps are refined, the trash gets filtered out in league play, and the raw individual level goes way up.

it’s been like 7 years since i last played chess, but back then i was around 1600 rating

ok, i don’t think it held me back back then, but i’m not gonna pretend my personal experience somehow defines reality.

yeah, like this: https://youtu.be/q0DRqiGW81c?si=IphArexgIy4MTpET

back when i used to play chess that helped me a lot. of course, there was a narrator explaining the idea behind each move, not sure if it’s the same for you guys.

this part is boring af but basically just studying. got books and youtube vids that teach you

champions has the highest prize pool, the highest viewership, the highest pressure, and the highest level of play. it's literally where the best of the best show up after grinding all year

learn the fundamentals(super important), watch games from GMs(Carlsen, Caruana, etc), and solve puzzles daily

i would put blowz instead of c0m, mazino instead of demon1, shyy instead of Tex, and kingg instead of rossy

it is actually rare for non brazilians to even know who garrincha is. for me he’s easily top 10 all time.

if you understood portuguese, you’d be shocked by how many people are calling her dumb for making one of the most logical choices

i’d never have the guts to run forward

check this vid: https://youtube.com/shorts/S-SyDRgRxRg?si=zdfA_Tk2nQHm7ogO

everyone in the comments flaming the girl saying she was dumb for not running forward. like bro how was she supposed to know the tire would change direction?

am i the only one who thinks she actually reacted correctly? stayed calm, backed off slowly, kept her eyes on it

he hasn’t been like that in years. like around 10 years

is there any team with a single nationality that actually made it somewhere? I can only think of edg

he might be the most talented player ever but his mentality didn’t match his talent

still I wouldn’t call his career a flop, it was actually really good.

we pretty much have the same list: https://www.vlr.gg/492012/top-5-greatest-football-players/#17

I can easily see Messi at 1 but I still think Pelé's achievements were harder and had a bigger impact on football than Messi, but it's debatable.

why are you getting downvoted?

for football, Pelé is greater than CR7(no doubt) and only with Messi there's even a debate
