I hate fracture, any map promoting breach as a necessary agent is dogsh*t.

I don't get people calling initiators baiter, its not the job of the initiator to take duels and die, its utility and trades. Eeiu is one of the best in NA as scan.

americas have a different rule for tie breaker. Its h2h vs the team

I get GenG but TH aura ?? Have you looked at the team.

I don't know about giant x or navi rn but bbl can defo win against TL. For TL win they should try and ban Lewn jett maps, he has an insane jett but the other duelists are not on the same level

Ascent = BBL
Lotus = 60/40 TL unless BBL comeout with a new
Haven = BBL as TL didn't play this the entire split
Sunset = 60/40 TL
Corrode = 60/40 TL
Bind = 60/40 TL
Icebox = 70/30 BBL

Its so sad that both c9 and NRG can't qualify due to mibr champs points :( . There should be a last chance qualifier instead of this champs point bs.

NRG and c9 both have an equal chance of winning,

Bind = NRG would defo loose (please perma ban)
Corrode = NRG slightly favored 60-40
sunset = might be a trap from c9 as they did not play the entire split so far.
Haven = 50/50
Ascent = Please ban as the double senti from c9 is disgusting
Lotus = 60-40 NRG
Icebox = 50/50 if mada has an insane map.

Its already super hard to find igls in SA so he should stay unless they miraculously find an insane igl.

Keznit needs to work on his mental a bit, to me keznit tilt = kru loss otherwise he is one of the best duelist in NA. Mazino has consistency issues so if they wanna tryout some players from lev academy it would be cool

Well boostio's performance had dipped so much, I think they probably would have done worse. Kess was a recon main and making him flex on senti was a bad idea as he didn't look comfy at all. They should have looked for a senti main.

Well I agree with the take, but sato and oke have a good thing going on so I don't know about kicking him but lev academy is the best SA team so they would be the best pickups for the other SA teams if lev don't promote them.

I really don't want them at champs now given how much giant x and navi have improved. Hope bbl wipes the floor with TL and giant X/Navi beat TL in the lowers.

This was the 1st season for the core, so they should give them atleast another split. Then look to promote academy players.

NRG were the better team and lev had a bad day.

I started watching vct this year so I don't know much about keznit but to me it seemed keznit tilt = kru loss. If he works on his mental kru would be so much better.

If NRG don't ban bind they start 0-1, but its gonna be a close game.

Bro pulling some chet type shit lol

Genuine question what do you want initiator players to be like, just run it down and die first ? The only things that matters for initiator players is good util and good trades. Eeiu is one of the best scan players in NA.

Potter cannot be criticized for the failure of EG after champs, they have failed to give her a competitive roster since and expect her to magically make them win champs with players worse than T2 players.

What does NRG know about doing well ? When did you guys qualify for an international Lan again ?

Not aimed at you its aimed at the folks who downvoted.

Braindead apac fans and americas fans with no hope for trophy trying to call out teams doing well nothing new.

Sen fans need to be banned from vlr

What's the h2h rule for emea, I would say unless they make top 2 now they won't qualify.

Don't know man, I would not underestimate them.

BBL's progress throughout this year has been so amazing to watch. But lewn needs to step up on other duelists as well and then they will be dark horses for champs.

If BBL make finals its jover for the french teams, points wise vitality won't make it now that bbl is top 3. Also fnatic and th in lower bracket its so jover for the french teams :(

60-40 for the coaches, they have good pre-barier strats + taking down acomplished korean teams is hands down to prep and anti. But crazyguy is an underrated igl and jemkin is a beast, can solo win you games anytime.

Buzz over zekken espically after his performance this year is diabolical.

if they win today, they qualify right ?

Faster rotates, amazing on defense. What more can you ask for.

RRQ's success this year is a testament to the fact that they have great coaches. They come with great prep against opponents and anti. Even the rounds post timeout seem exceptional.

Good to see CN ascension teams doing well. XLG won stage 1 and DRG has the opportunity to do the same.

C9 has Immi for a coach who has shown no results in 3 years, 100T has ziks who is in the same league, Potter cannot get a decent roster since champs 2023, Loud has way too many problems, Lev is in rebuilding stage, Kru nowadays seem like keznit tilt = loss, sen cannot win a final in americas forget any international trophies. How are americas suppose to do well internationally.

G2 is gonna get there 3rd americas trophy. Nrg can come 2nd/3rd.

Jovi from Talon, Warbirds from RRQ.

They got false confidence from the match agains AG and they picked lotus. Edg has always been a good lotus team.

FNC has a major map pool problem. They will not beat Prx on sunset, bind, lotus or haven. One of there best map ascent has been heavily been antied well.

I honestly cannot think of a single team who have a chance against Prx. There bind, haven, sunset, lotus is disgusting to play against and they will get enough pracs on ascent, corrode and abyss before champs/

Zander
Cryo

I think asuna is overhated as well, given he is an entry duelist who takes space pretty well and it's his team which cannot trade him well.

Did you see why I edited it now before replying.

No they will never beat G2

Nope a top 4 finish will give them enough points also vitality not making top 4

They need both sen and g2 to be top 2 and kru not be top 3

G2 with babybay is the best americas team

Net and Immi need to go.

c9 has to be on top, 1/8 in playoffs is just disgusting atleast 100T won a stage last year.

Exactly my point.

Bruh the guard core can 4 V 5 most teams in americas, net doesn't change anything.
