They are going to say that SEN is still saving strats and that they will come back as always, because SEN always starts slow and win in the end.

They can't be bad, they are NA top performers.

Some NA fans are going to call that NV was always their first bet, since the beginning.

People will go mad at them and we will forget about this the day after tomorrow.

That's my bet on what happens if SEN loses tomorrow.

Bonus for EU: We will see a lot of people calling NA Bad out of nothing, just because they lost to TL, that is probably the best team in the world right now.

This are my rankings based only on games from champions:

S- TL, FNC, NV
A- GMB, VK, SEN,
B- C9, ACE, VS, VKS
C- FUR, X10C, KRU, TS
D- CR, FS

I tried to put in order, in a way that TL is top 1 and FS top 16.

Obviously we only have 1 bo3 for each team (except Fnatic and VS) so there are a lot of speculation, dont go crazy answering it.

I dont know, man...

gtn and frz are just not at the level of this game. They need at least one main duelist to play the game, otherwise it becomes too hard.

Sacy and saadhak are excelent support players, they would be a great addition to any brazilian team, but they need someone that plays better to be supported.

My heart is saying: VKS is going to win

My brain: they are going to lack an operator and entry fragger again.

You dream about a final that is EU vs EU? I want at least two different regions.

If I could completely choose the last two teams, it would be something like VK vs NV, cause i think it could mean the "minor" regions vs "major" region. Also, the jett duels would be insane.

Or Furia vs Gambit, as we could see a great sentinel from my country (Khalil) vs the best sentinel in the world (nats).

Remember also that heat was playing last tournament with a wrist injury =)

Where do you guys think C9 is compared to both teams?

I imagine:

NV > SEN > C9.

But i didnt watch the last NA tournament.

Come on, i think X10 is putting up a fight. Envy is a great team.

Its not like because we had several upsets, that we are going to have an upset in every single game.

I want to root for x10, but NV is too likeable to not root for them.

I think VS and SEN did not prove they deserve to be on this top 5.

SEN played a rough match agaisnt brazilian seed #3, VS played a worst match agaisnt fnatic than C9, for example. I would exclude both from top 5. Maybe include VK and C9.

At least if this are about the favorites from the showings in the group stage. If you think abou last tournaments though..

I think its not easy to find a top jett player, they are already in the top teams, and maybe they are playing like this because they dont have one.

Sometimes when you have a starplayer you just become too reliant on them.

But sure, if they can have both, they will improve a lot :)

Well, it doesnt matter, it was what happened in the last cases. Both teams lost the next map, if im not wrong.

They did not disqualify, the made a map loss.

I dont think most people are talking about this because of Brazil.

There are some salty people because brazil won, but most of the people just want equal treatment for everyone. That's fair.

I think that they have several people judging the game and people already flooded their message box. They probably know.

But it's sad, because its diminish keyd win and creates all this fuzz around one of the best matches that we have during first round of group stage, if not the best.

Thats the best way of summarizing this game haha

cNed is a crazy awper, but when he was not awping heat was doing better than him. Besides one round on breeze that cned flew up vipers wall and destroyed keyd haha

The region is called EMEA, isn't it?

I think EMEA is better than NA. But its close.

Yeah, i know if it was not allowed, they will do something, this is not CS where things go unpunished sometimes, i dont remember a single scandal from League of legends that was not adressed. Riot normally take does things seriously.

I'm saying that we can continue to enjoy the tournament, riot will take care of those things.

If i had to organize the EMEA power rankings for Champions i would put:

Liquid > Gambit > Acend > gap > Fnatic

I'm a fnatic fan since 2013 in all games, but i think that they are not on the same level of the other three teams.

Guys, we know that riot is going to look into it and see if it was an exploitation or not, and give it the proper treatment if it was.

If we can consider both tournaments having the same rule, they will not lose this map, they will star the next match with a loss (it was the Guild penalty, right?).

Can we just calm down?

We had a great game of Acend vs VK and VS vs FNC is going to start, do not start another "tech pause war" pls...

They only used once, if im not wrong. But, he should have the same treatment as those teams.

If i remember right, the next game is loss of one map.

I think keyd has a chance again all of these teams, and have the upperhand against fnatic.

we need to save Sacy too. Maybe Sacy and cNed together? haha

There is no problem, Envy is next.

Just dont let them pick Bind.

M W Zera, but everyone just calls him MW

I think jett is ok now, maybe really small nerfs. It seems like it is that impactful this game because we are seeing 2 of the top 5 jetts in the world agaisnt each other.

Sacy says that Brazil is not the great at fast adapting. He says that we dont adapt fast and that's what EU/NA has better than us. At least was what he said in one interview after iceland.

Are you still discussing this? Just enjoy the game, two great teams playing...

They swapped their sova player for him. Maybe he just joined to fill that position. It is said that maybe he plays duelist when they need a raze. Because, murizz as their flex player is not the best as raze and can play other initiators.

He is not playing bad, he is just not being the star of the team, as he normally is when playing duelists.

2 insane clutches from murizz already wtf... I was thinking it was a going to be a heat vs cned show, but looks like murizz is getting the spotlight for himself

Pistols is more about aim and isolating duels. There is no much more to do. We are kinda bad with the utilities, outside of pre determined executions.

Thats my guess at least.

Im in the middle of a finance class right, i dont even know what he is talking about. LETS GO VK! haha

Yeah... i dont know if we should be joking about physical abuse of women...

I think acend has the upperhand, but its supposed to be a close game.

I wouldnt bet on this game, unless the % is very high for one side.

For me the best part is that heat started treating his hand injury since the last tournament. He was complaining since before the tournament on streams and said it was worse during KRU game.

I see that patiphan has a injury too, thats sad, i hope that next championship he can be better :) its cool to see them try the best they can.
;

They have the same chance of being good at fracture as Acend. The last tournament that they played was masters berlin. We dont know anything about them.

We dont know anything about either teams fracture.

He clarified his twitter minutes later, saying that he was not flaming SEN, but asking for the same treatment about going to the bathroom. He was even going for a more funny way of speach, even using the clown emoji in this tweet that everybody is talking about.

He twitted: Por favor, não xinguem a Riot e nem outros times, eu só fiquei feliz que mudaram o procedimento, e nem sei se ele realmente foi no banheiro

Translation: Please, do not make hate comments against riot or the other teams, i was just happy that they changed the procedure, i dont even know if he was at the bathroom.

Than sent a @ to Tenz saying:

if that was it then I apologize, Im so sorry.

V1xen is a sweet young guy, dont hate him please. Seriously, its a common sense, at least when people talk about him in streams, social media and etc..

COME ON MANITOS, KRU CAN DO IT!

At least this map! Almost there!

Its the day ive been waiting for.

Its Jett day !!

wtf?

I think that Cod is a game that people only compete in NA, isnt it? It almost doesnt count. Its like saying America is the best at American Footbal, its a great sport, but only Americans really focus on it.

R6 is not big, but there are more countries playing it, like Brazil.

Aren't you guys good at Fortnite? I've never played it, or watched a championship, i might be very wrong.

They should, though. Its called real time marketing. Great companies does it.

Unfortonately SEN digital marketing is kinda bad.

They could have avoided that twitter flaming, it would help them get new fans.

Neymar is a huge CS fan, i dont think he will support valo.

Furia didnt start this shit and they were called into this "bantering", or fake rivalry that Sentinels is trying to create. If they answered like this, it would be fun. If you call someone to a fight, win the fight and than kick the person on the floor thats not cool, man.

From the positions they started, as massive underdog 3rd brazilian seed vs 1st NA seed, it looks more like bullying, not a rivalry. If they matched well, they could just say: "It was not a warm up, great fight Furia", this would make people like SEN more.

They look like 13 year old spoiled kid who won their first match ever.

I completely agree with you. I like more when the community is playing together. This has nothing to do with rivalry, you already won, you dont need to keep reminding than of this.

Actually SEN and FUR have 0 rivalry, this was their first match, its Furia first international event. I get SEN vs G2 rivalry for example, or if they wanted their champion position back from gambit, though.

For me it makes no sense at all.

BR, KRU and than depends on the matchup.

KRU always have been respectful with us and this is a rare thing to brazilians on the internet haha

LETS GO KRU! We can both get out of groups :D

I dont think its working. Some people love SEN even more for it, but they get a lot of hate out of this.

Normally they talk trash about Brazil, in general, actually.

They dont really hate NA, they have a problem with SEN in specific.

After their last tweet I have the same problem with them too, its their social media, he is an asshole.

I dont hate NA though, vanity and yay are one of my favorites players to watch.

I was thinking of riots directives towards E-sports in general. They like to create hype around NA. Probably going to call Bjergsen best midlaner in the world, or in the west again, after one year of retirement. While, he hasn't been a top 5 west midlaner for ages.
