they would ban split first i feel, they lost in a close match to mibr 11-13 and destroyed G2 13-4 who are a decent haven team

c9s pearl is very good and so is sens so yes it is 50/50, don’t let the loss to g2 fool you

is c9 supposed to be bad on every map?

Pearl: 50/50
Lotus: 50/50
Ascent: C9
Fracture: C9
Haven: SEN
Split: SEN
Icebox: 50/50

it’s easier to nitpick them than other teams that’s why

i have faith in boom to make it, they’re more stable than rrq imo

the team would need someone to speak english if bonkar is an option no?

they are “overrated” cause they still have a super strong core in munchkin t3xture and karon. they just lack chemistry

XLG

would it affect standings if RRQ won?

mix of both, i really enjoy watching liquids set plays and strats and cn teams just run in and go kill

there’s just more to like about the CN teams for me lol

they won both pistols

MIBR/G2/LOUD
TL/BBL/TH/KC
T1/BME/GENG/TLN/ZETA
TE/BLG/EDG/XLG/FPX/TEC

not necessarily my favs for some teams but the ones i like the most

izu still plays him wdym

No

he was the worst agent on release 💀

great post but i’m not sure meteor is the right person for reyna 🗿

team liquid are winning champs and nats will cement himself in the goat status

nova bombed out of playoffs while wolves are top 3

def not icy 💀

better way to phrase it is that his teammates help him unlock his true potential which can be said for duelists like kk who had s1mon to support him and zekken who had zellsis tenz sacy set him up. in his case it’s jonah

c9 should’ve won that map ngl, g2 isn’t that dominant on pearl anymore

FURIA, 100T, NRG, TS, TYGLUE, KOI

technically frOd is from NA, he has coached NA teams previously most notable being T1 when they were in NA

then they proceed to choke a 10-5 half and then get eliminated by the next team wanting revenge 😔

describe the kaplan realm of coaches

wait u might be right, if G2 and T1 rematch or TH and GENG rematch or something then i can see that happening 😭

some fucking how americas and emea comes alive to bite apac

team liquid

he wasn’t on the team in masters 2021

he gets recognition by the best initiator oat

vandal: forsaken vandal
phantom: prime phantom

BLG look like the best they’ve ever been, but EDG has a week to prepare for that match + they always own BLG. I’d give it 55/45 in favor of EDG

s1mon shot himself in the foot when he decided to leak his chats to the public

socials, even twitch. Also, SEN has stopped posting about him. Even when Ben Affleck was talking about him, Rob Moore was talking in a way that made it clear that they are not working with tenz in any capacity.

Can you elaborate more on this? I thought that he wanted batman to focus on the game

yes they need to beat BLG to make it to toronto

s1mon’s issues only really happened in bangkok after they lost in the upper final

patitek not the type of player that needs to be micro managed ngl

icebox is just hit A simulator, so many corners that reyna can play and dismiss out of there

maybe! depends on who the new coach is though

oh yeah true both teams are shit on that map, well it really depends on who shows up that day because i think both teams will have their issues sorted out when playoffs begin

nuh uh

talon/geng shouldn’t be hard for them, also bme are relatively stable unlike rrq who just lost to TS but maybe it’s because group omega is very competitive

if t1 doesn’t ban icebox then i think they will be fine

leak

stk is out btw

tejo is not good for him

zander hasn’t gone positive once unlike last year where everyone stood out especially bang and cryo

not at all but it shouldn’t have to be just exclusive to americas and china, pacific and emea teams will also struggle even despite their region ending 1-2 weeks later

wouldn’t say he’s necessarily a S tier player, for a flash initiator he’s definitely up there but overall an A- player imo
