Became the worst player in the region statistically, had no choice but to bench him

They're in counter strike finals they must be good

Wait, CS grand final sounds like cinema wtf

Levius was a temporary replacement for B3ar until they could find a new IGL. Nearly all the kills Levius got were after the rounds were done and dusted. His calling was also really bad. Lucky they managed two wins (beating TYLOO and JDG) so champs is possible.

You should invest your supports in Tenz, hopefully Riot does the right thing and ships him out to the Mercedes Benz Arena to salvage Shanghai

Not sad for FUT. They've overperformed. It's sad for Heretics because they threw an 11-2 lead on Ascent but I guess that's karma for drawing DRG.

It will be nephh who used to be a member of Bleed, replacing levius (who was quite literally playing like a bot in Split 1)

I think delb from All Gamers is also an import. BLG will be getting an import for their igl too.

NAVI vs EDG? It ain't Tokyo anymore bro EDG is washed. We need NAVI vs FPX for the ange1/berlin battle of the century.

I'm afraid TH's mental is shot after that loss to G2. This could go either way.

Karon easily. We've seen wo0t in Split 1. He's not a 'best in the world' controller/initiator. Jett on the other hand? He looks world-class but Karon is a world-class controller and it's VERY difficult to find that. Karon could have Mako status within a few years.

the return of fnatic was greatly exaggerated, 'fraid they're not winning anything

Underrated player tbh. I doubted him as well but his util is perfect and he's very clutch and capable of fragging. You don't need Lakia to popoff on the leaderboard when the team is as stacked as it is.

I can't believe I binged watched that entire show and loved it until they dragged out the final season like crazy and I just stopped giving a fuck

Heretics were completely shot on Lotus. I swear only Benjy was mentally still in it. Riens and wo0t completely checked out after that loss on Ascent. I don't blame them, I would've been upset too.

"but KC" kek you better move that goalpost

"chances are slim" lmao no they're not, dont doubt fucking anything this tournament. G2 could legit make the Grand Final at this point

no one cares about G2?

Vitality absolutely. Maybe TL would also be a good fit but I personally don't like their style of play. KOI or Giantx would be a death sentence for him.

This was the less interesting match of the night by far

Team 3
you can't be taking foxy9 off sentinel with how well he's been doing in that role

If FPX didn't choke against EDG in the CN Grand Final and were top seed who knows what would've happened

Meteor on Ascent is fucking Godly

"looking forward to the paper rex match in the upper finals" - zikz
"100t vs prx grand final gonna be crazy" - vlr
PRX 2-1

Sentinels just better KEK

GenG gotta take it, their run in China has just been amazing to watch and I want them to spite the Chinese fans lol. Their players would be so deserving of the win. What a year they've had.

headband buff

KEKW

send qck1 to china

stop the chron and boaster hate, hate on leo instead bro thought he could eat chinese food before an elimination match

I'd vote for Shion7 to go. Funny thing is TZH was easily the best member of DRG in both their Shanghai matches.

islam masterclass

'fraid so, paper rex is never winning an international

Ranking China, is All Gamers really the 5th best team? Kek

sen ti nels

Might've cooked

I've cried for yay

flair check

vlr nerds think men cant cry fr fr aint everyone a sociopath like you

They're mad that he called Madrid a mickey mouse clubhouse (which it was) KEK

If 100T lose to GenG, not sure so. We've only seen one 100T match.

he missing Wonyet

China Split 1 was such a disaster that a shitter team like NOVA made it into playoffs. With BLG making roster changes who knows what could happen.

1. Coaching staff is one of the most fraudulent out there. AfteR has been at the center of the backlash from Chinese fans and its well deserved. Too many changes in their playstyle, roles and comps. Team looked off in Madrid and they're somehow even worse now. They've been unable to find an identity post Tokyo.
2. Haodong IGL isn't working. You could also blame the coaching staff for this. Haodong is probably just reciting what the coaches say and trying to keep the team on that gameplan. Whatever the case is, his aim isn't there either.
3. They're readable, no map pressure, can't get reads on anything, always rushing into stacked sites, unable to sell a fake, midrounding awful
4. They've peaked as a team. KangKang is still crazy but his team can't support him or set him up anymore. Haodong and Nobody are likely on the chopping block.

EMEA Split 1 was the real mickey mouse

This is all on point.

Tokyo EDG were at least able to afford an op

honestly just send yay to china, whichever team picks him will win champs

This is actually true. JUSTICE FOR BOASTER.

You can 100% expect changes to EDG after this disaster. This felt like their last chance after that disaster in Madrid. Going out 0-2 on your home turf without getting a single map is just embarrassing for fans and the EDG roster. They looked mentally boomed. I swear AfteR is the elmapuddy of China, bro has been on fraudwatch for ages.
