enjoy the moment while it lasts

champs sure shanghai they got team diffed

this is a group stage game

he doesn’t even play the agent anymore

benjys harbor util was insane too tbf, probably the only other harbor player i’ve been impressed with so far asides from valyn of course

did they?

why did they even replay it

L riot

TH as a collective only fall off in playoffs

if this mf hesitates again they might need you in there to save them

they didn’t have enough prac time for kickoff because of riens military + comeback english

obvious with enough time they’ll have a better showing than a team who changed IGLs and players

you really picked NAVI over TH?

zynx played senti in tier 2 plenty before, ash was originally a duelist main before switching to scan

she’s worse than fade and sova on this map but still not bad

most obvious TH win

no exit no win ✌️

boot foxy9 for zynx and just move ash to flex

why would they not be their own region? they have a dedicated fanbase + they got into franchising a year later as well as the game officially releasing in 2023

the idea of the move makes sense (get an IGL so k1ra can frag out more and compliment by second calling) but the replacement is not it

the core of fayde, spring and siufatbb have been inconsistent since 2025 kickoff so it’s not unreasonable to call their toronto run a fluke especially if they can’t even make playoffs in regionals

if they decided to drop everything then that’s their problem

they made a roster move which changes how their calling structure works and got a major firepower downgrade, not that au1 was insane or anything but septem7 is a skirmish merchant only

can you elaborate on that?

benjy wasn’t the only one shooting in that game + he had a good event in kickoff overall

ruxic hiro and chloric are good but filu is bad and kolosha is just a stand-in. TH are not losing either way

we need to stop acting like NAVI are leagues better than TH when they got dismantled by them in kickoff + that team had their fair share of problems

nah that’s not true hiro was pretty inconsistent in 2025

septem7 diff

TH 2-0 NAVI
BBL 2-0 PCF

heretics lit shit on them in kickoff idk where the disbelief in them is coming from + exit is not playing

i thought it would be way closer but GE played very well and GENG collapsed

wait that’s actually crazy to think about, the only team/org to have won a trophy out of all the franchise teams in EMEA is FNATIC

he was the least of their problems today tbf

you lived in quebec but you have the france flag,.??? make it make sense i guess

ascension is still important is it not?

They really aren’t

what if those guys are shooting bodies first? t1 players are not one to shoot bodies usually

he wasn’t that bad, if anything he was probably better in that event than he was in stage 2 albeit with a lower sample size to go off of

why are we acting like kaajak was horrible in emea kickoff

he’s been trash lol this has been his only good game in a while, the criticism is justified

oh i thought you were talking bout t1 comp

NS made playoffs twice in 2025, GE was the only org in pacific cursed to win 1 game per split

chill bro GE never made a playoffs let alone an international let’s start from there

it’s a fine comp though?

is he though?

way more is an exaggeration - PRX played yoru on majority of their maps except for bind which they saw no success on anyways and corrode

How did Trace look with the agent? I wasn’t able to watch it but I genuinely can’t tell if it was just delb having an insane game or if he actually got value out of his veto util

Laughing but you know damn well TH clears Evil Frauds any day

s1mon has gotta the most overrated player

he was the worst player on their champs winning roster alongside nobody and he was a very mid fragger at best, sure his support util was good but util agents now are generally worthless

Also another question, do you predict we’ll see any yoru in this game? So far he’s been replaced by phoenix on maps like haven and pearl and has not been picked in any region yet

From GE: xavi
From GENG: zynx

Agreed, it would very well fit the team and everyone is on their comfort roles now, Karon seemed a little uncomfortable in kickoff but I heard that the coaches wanted to experiment with Karon on senti for a long time, so I’m not sure if he’ll change roles or anything

Fr0st hinted that GENG made a roster change in his podcast

Also he’s in the thumbnail here so you can only assume he’ll be back
