it’s funny because he played worse than boaster at champs 23 aka their best year ever especially in the loud matches and yet somehow aspas should be flamed more for being team diffed by everyone else at toronto

envy will

of all examples scream is possibly the worst one you could think of

they had like one week of practice i heard, not a bad showing even though they got rolled on lotus

i need teams to run neon phoenix on breeze, fnatic would have won more cleanly with him over iso

lovers rock and boo aren’t playing

even worse, did you see his flashes vs TL in kickoff? he flashed his entire team that one round

they play fade on haven too, you might have mistaken it for their pearl where they do play sova

sylvan peaked in bangkok and had very good smokes util usage, stax also had a good tournament

suygetsu and shao had to not represent russia if they wanted a spot on navi

they both have an international trophy

no way bro after your shit got wiped you only got 30 second cooldown??

how much cooldown do you have now

engh wants to play the info game

waylay and neon are so much better duelists though, they’re able to capitalize off of fade and tejo util unlike jett

have you even watched them play in toronto and onwards?

oat? yes

i liked their attack side ideas on breeze, very well executed and i could see some of the value they got out of the iso, could’ve had a much better defense though that shit was very messy

they’re trying their best to adapt to the double duelist fast paced meta and it showed on bind when they ran some fast rounds, some hiccups but fnc will get there.

overall not a bad showing for their first game in stage 1, they can always get better

Vitality let boaster go 12/1 at some point

don’t manifest it

FNC and EMEA has done nothing at internationals since 2023 we should abolish the region and give more slots to pacific and americas

tell thosw teams to stop being mediocre and step up then

it helps that emea is transitioning into the double duelist aggressive meta which is fun to watch against teams who still like to play slower

who’s “they”?

8-4 is not that crazy of a lead, 9-3 sure it depends on how they lose out

prx vs g2 on haven in santiago

they’ll probably have a TH like year

I approve of this

mix of both

china lacks good coaches

americas is playing on the new patch so i’d assume the other regions will have it in week 2

Alfa neon makes saadhaks neon look competent in comparison

watch alfa play on neon in his previous matches and you’ll change your mind

unsurprisingly their comp is good on attack and EF is playing cypher in the big 2026

lol

reverse swept twice 😭

slow start + ef map pick

if that’s surprising then wait til you realize who the best emea team was in 2024

femboyhater is a known RRQ hater

i would be more confident in a comeback if they had phoenix over iso

I have yet to see an impressive performance out of Derke on Neon and/or Waylay which Kaajak had multiple good performances on

TH is ranked #24 in platchat btw, other teams that placed 6th in kickoff were placed higher except for china just to add on to your point

oh yeah that I agree with, one way I could somewhat justify it is that they placed 4th in kickoff which is the best placement you can get while not qualifying

I have a bad feeling that fnc will make a comeback

wouldn’t be surprised if that happened, fnc’s comp is better on attack + they are the best team when it comes to making a comeback

boaster harbor vs heretics in stage 1 groups

teams should be playing more vyse and kj if they want to play sentis imo

2/3 international winners in 2025 won while playing little to no cypher , he also doesn’t provide as much value as pre-nerf vyse (actually come to think about it, vyse now is better) or even KJ

no yinsu at santiago either, that event was cooked without her icl
