No

Monyet doesn’t even clear an iron player. The others do tho

1. Gen.G (really good aim and fundamentals, even tho they threw against Less on the last rounds Icebox and Breeze looked mid)
2. KC (can't really tell bc they had the easiest enemy, still only team to win 2-0)
3. SEN (looked more dominant in kickoff, still very good team)
4. LOUD (qck should prac yoru more, looked mid on ascent)
5. EDG (lost to many clutches, great ecos and some good reads too)
6. TH (crowd buff and still throwing)
7. PRX (not enough practice with monyet, triple duelist is throw)
8. FPX (worst fundamentals and strats of everyone)

not you again, all you do is waffling about stupid shit 💀

Never cook again please

But the value of the cam is big too and attackers can’t deny the information without peeking out of main

NAVI flair checks out + it was chamber meta and everyone was playing him, not only yay so they didn’t get an advantage over the other teams

Jonhqt said SEN didn’t want to leak any stats for playoffs and that it’s probably hard to focus when they already made playoffs.

Even tho he is double agent, I‘m happy for him

bo3*

yea true that was really funny XD

They are winning against BLG who isn’t a top tier CN team (compared to teams like EDG, FPX, TE, TEC (if they perform as good as today) or JDG (if they play as good as last season and stop trolling). Don’t make up a conclusion before they habe to play good CN teams like EDG if they win against BLG.

Got dropped, they got B3ar who is now igl

If this would’ve the setup they wouldn’t have to change anything. They only changed it because of this rule where teams from the same group can’t play against each other in playoffs. Correct me if I’m wrong though! Just the only way where it makes any sense that they changed it

The bracket would’ve been PRX vs play-in winner but I think riot didn’t want PRX to play GenG again because they already played against each other in groups. But the rest was random I guess. In theory PRX could’ve played DRX, just unlucky for T1.

Tag me when C9 qualifies to Madrid

The teammates that set up the duelist are equally important to the potential of a player. Also how good the players match. Only time will tell how good they’ll be, but don’t count him out yet. (I say this while Im not even a Loud fan, but you should give everybody a chance imo)

GE W! Some orgs should do similar things

Flair checks out. Navi will get grouped anyways

Oh, so C9 was at Masters Tokyo and Champions?? EDG played tournament after tournament while your team was at home

No they won’t. And they aren’t playing down to their competition, they just aren’t as good as you think.

Vanity is going to dismantle himself. Close series against mibr, they didn’t look as good as NRG

C9 buying every time after losing pistol is not effective anymore because every team reads it…

What do you mean exactly? Yes it’s insane that two world champions are playing together. Especially if they got the title in different teams at different tournaments. But „world champion“ and „world class“ is not the same thing. Yes starxo is a „world champion“ but it’s debatable if he is „world class“ right now because of his recent performance.

The money from the Ausbildung could be enough if it's okay for you to live in a "WG", where you'll live with other people and pay less rent. They are usually found in cities or right outside them. Renting an apartment on your own may be too expensive in those cities but please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, it’s an „Off Topic“ discussion and so we can talk about cs too! If you don’t want to see it, just go to another thread.

No I don’t know.

We love sdy 🐐

oh okay that would be a good solution too

Then you haven´t watched alot of CS:GO/CS2 in the past. They had alot of known players on their roster in the past (e.g s1ren, w0nderful, sdy and degster). They were a dark horse because of them rebuilding their roster and picking up up donk, zont1x and sh1ro. As a team they hadn´t played on a international stage before and had mixed results in the other tournaments they played online. (@saikko)

I don´t understand what you mean. I just gave advice for someone to feel better and remebering the good times of your childhood by looking at photos is a good thing, isn´t it?

Look at photos from your childhood.

Them not being able to win against other CN teams who have less experience (e.g. TEC, DRG). Also they picked up a new 5th player (B3ar) who‘s now igling. People don’t know if it’s goona work the way BLG expects it to

Even if BLG looked strong vs NRG, they aren´t likely to win against teams like JDG, TEC, EDG, FPX or TE in my opinion. Could still happen but I doubt it.

So there is BLG knight in League and Val, also FPX Life in League and Val. Same names playing for the same orgs lol

zellsis is a floor raiser, pancada is a ceiling raiser
team has way higher potential if they stuck with pancada, not an opinion, a fact.

There is a concept of the "hypeman". Zellsis brings up the teams vibes, a team with 5 superstars and no hype will fail, you could see that in SEN last year even. Pancada is really really good, but you cant use the potential you talk about when the team is not vibing...

why are you making 100 threads / day about it tho... chill

Also english is not my first language so excuse any language mismakes.

From your perspective that’s completely true! That’s why I put „>=„ instead of „=„. I never thought Demon1 is only as good as Zekken on Jett, but I took the other Duelist Agents into consideration and comparison. If you only compare them on Jett, which I thought wouldn’t be right, Demon1 wins. But because they play in different variety of Duelists I put „=„ (didn’t find „≈“ on the keyboard lol) to show that you can’t really exactly compare them. If this lead to misunderstandings, I apologise.

Zekken looks good too tho! The only reason why I think they’re somehow equal is because Zekken can especially play Raze and can dive the bombsites in a way Demon1 couldn’t with Jett. I know Demon1 can also play Brimstone/ Astra in some occasions but those aren’t the aggressive roles that you try to compare. (That’s why NRG need Demon1 and Victor or EG needed Demon1 and Jawgemo, Zekken can play both Jett and Raze really good)

NRG need to prove themselves and Sentinels already showed how good they can be

Thats what I meant, you're right!

Demon1 >= Zekken
(Different playstyle but both are really great)

Ethan (aim, gamesense) > Johnqt (aim, gamesense)

Ethan (igl) < Johnqt (igl)

Marved > TenZ

Crashies > Sacy

Victor >= Zellsis
(Victor can flex + play Duelist really good (Neon or Jett in the past, Raze)

==> both teams look good on paper (NRG slightly better imo), but NRG need to prove themselves and Sentinels already showed how good they can be

ofc did they prac, they even said that they got owned by sen in scrims (which doesnt mean anything but that means they even pracced against sen before the afreeca tournament), Yea the comps where weird tho

Zekken clears forsaken in every way

Haodong is up there imo (not top 5 but up there), EDG was able to compete and win in the CN scene the whole year and was able to reach 5th-6th place at an international tournament. For a scene thats really in the beginning (compared to other regions), he is a pioneer still when it comes to new ideas. I think EDG will just get better and he is a big part of it. Also his aim is really crisp for an igl imo

advancing and elim matches were bo3, the other ones bo1

I think they pick up marved and maybe someone like runi, could actually be kinda fire

the "og", one of the owners, not the cs player

Furia showing a performance rn haha

-nobody cares
-foxy9 wasnt there
-they still qualify playoffs
-all good
