I always play for the redemption grand final it's disgusting. every pickem I have SEN losing in upper final then winning the grand final.

i dont give a fuck if this backfires on me we look in a DIFFERENT type of form, I'm a bit more nervous to play G2 but I 1000% think if we play MIBR we win 3-1 if we play G2 it's going to be most likely a 3-2/3-1 but we'll be getting at least 2 OT's which I will not be able to handle.

you skip groupstage in toronto and basically skip 2-3 weeks of playing so you can just prac, watch vod and anti strat

Literally, the only reason G2 vs SEN looked close was due to individual performances/clutches, SEN aren't going to be losing those 1v2's/1v3's anymore.

probably overslept a bit he was watching apac

Whoever wins this game is going to get smacked by SEN in the final really doesn't matter. SEN are in a way better form than everyone in Americas.

if they lose this series they are frauds

nah brother was dead serious too

100T are just shit i guess lol he was really just ready to win

Some idiot had G2, MIBR, C9 above SEN and said SEN are bad team merchants... making MIBR look like Furia 😹😹

he clears asspiss its that simple

Team is such a fucking joke, you go through 2 head coaches in the matter of a couple months

it's so sad too because the community is always going to be the community but Riot is notoriously bad at balancing agents and all of these metas shaped around one agent could've been prevented if they tested their game :)

it refreshes it 100% but shouldn't they test these agents before dropping them to us it's a rookie mistake to drop something so OP you don't do shit at all for months. LITERALLY all of this drama surronding the game could've been avoided if they simply tested their agents and diff agent combos

https://www.vlr.gg/481997/my-take-on-the-tejo-situation
Literally what I've been preaching since the news dropped they need to be better at this shit, it's literally going to be like he never even released and the game is just stale.

Can we fire the DEV team and completely reinvent how we release these new agents? I get you guys don't give a fuck about your community; we've known this for years now. Why are we not having Pro Players/Content Creators/Testers test these agents 2 weeks to a month in advance before release? There should be absolutely ZERO reason a character should be that broken out the gate.
I don't want to hear 'trial and error.' There are 28 agents in the game, trial and error was a good excuse back in 2022. If you cared about the community that much you genuinely need to give these testers/pros/ccs access to your new agents before release so they can figure out where the certain agents fit in the current meta and how strong the utility can potentially be when paired with other agents.Tejo is probably not going to be played in the pros and we the community, could've saved some brain cells playing versus Tejo in ranked.
This is just my take on the entire situation and how the DEV team could be better releasing these agents for the future

My issues with Riot- Why even do playtests if you don't listen to the people who review the new agents? I saw multiple posts before the agent was actually released to the public saying it was broken. Didn't Riot think to maybe nerf him before he was officially released? All of this could've been averted by a competent DEV team who actually took time out of their day to think about his utility combos with other agents and how he would fit in the meta. I don't understand why you would even release the agent; his pick pickrate is going to plummet, and essentially the game didn't add shit for the past 4 months since his release.

He needed a nerf, but if you’re going to just kill him why even add him?

I agree, but you cannot continue to push out broken agents then kill them and they’re phased out of the meta entirely like what was the point in even adding them to the game? It’s a major reason to why the game is stale.

They truly do not know how to balance agents at all without completely murdering them. I get Tejo is fucking busted, but shouldn’t you just make it so he gets one rocket back over a set amount of time now he has zero rechargeable utility similar to Skye and she is now completely phased out of the meta. This is why people believe the game is stale, you cannot continue to push out agents make them overpowered then just murder them because why would you even release them in the first place if they just get phased out of the meta?

look at 20, I agree though but Dembele shouldn't be looked past either still very impressive season for both :)

world not ready when he comes back

probably exaggerated by far better but he should 100% be in those convos with the both of them despite playing in Ligue 1

Raphinha in 51 appearances 55 G/A in 4,162 Min ~ Dembele in 45 appearances 45 G/A in 3,016 Min (IN CLUB/INTERNATIONAL PLAY) In 2025 ALONE, Raphinha only has 7 G/A in 877 minutes, and Dembele has 15 G/A in 761 minutes. Both insane but I think Dembele should be in those Raphinha/Salah convos

dembele has been far better than raphina this year

the buff isn't really all that Yoru is still the most dynamic duelist in the game no matter what, with nearly seamless entrying, insane flashes, and one of the highest skill ceilings out of most agents in the game.

PLEASE PLEASE DO IT!

jaw is a potter merchant we been knew this

G2 will just lose to teams who bust out new comps/maps; they rely on antistratting their opponents, and SEN has played Split a ton throughout Kickoff, Bangkok, and Stage 1. You can 100% say this for nearly every team but it's not a coincidence they lose to SEN on both of the maps SEN has barely shown. They're insane of course not trying to take away from the team at all, but you can push their limits 9/10 times if you change your playstyle or use surprise comps/maps.

if 100T win Map 3 I WILL CRY TEARS OF HAPPINESS ELIMINATE THIS SUPERTEAM PLEASE!

5v3 DO NOT LOSE THIS PLEASE

every single 100T, C9, and G2 fan lol fairs

You all said SEN are bad team merchants, 100T literally have not beat a good team all year, and their win vs MIBR in Kickoff is pointless when MIBR were a horseshit team last split.

thats an insane package lol, good on riot man.

.445 400DPI (need to switch off it ik)

I hope we're starting prac tommorow on the map the set plays with the breach tejo is going to be so nasty

breach tejo is going to be SO fucked on that map lol.

i'm pretty sure last year Kaplan fully changed our Split at the end of stage 2 we never showed it because the map got taken out of the map pool, Kaplan does some sneaky prep work need to see what he's cookin

our fracture SHOULD be good, I think we're prepping some shit on it because Kaplan loves to just surprise prep maps then use them randomly.

consistent until they reach that grandfinal

THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD!

it's pretty good to be fair. i'm not even going to count their attack side because they played C9's OP double stall comp but I think this should be good

HOLY FUCK EITHER WAY WE ARE MAKING TORONTO!

It's 2025 brother. Yay is a great player, but is he regarded as a top 10 player this split? He's not a star like Zekken, Aspas, Jawgemo etc.
