Yes! and we can get sayf jett again. Fnatic let him coook!!

Depends on how you view it, if you're just talking about general player base then yes diamond and up is considered high elo. However that doesn't mean the average player baseline is "good", take every basketball player in the world for example, the average skill level is way below a highschool varsity level. So if you're better than the average that doesnt mean youre good if that makes sense.

When people say immortal up is considered high elo, they mean when you start actually getting good at the game. This probably just me yapping but I think the logic makes sense.

shiiii wasn't expecting that. FUT winning EMEA easy this year

I mean maybe take a risk, this team aint doing anything in split 2 either with the way its going

So freaking competitive

LOUD were worse than I thought theyd be

Those 3 are looking the strongest as of right now, maybe 100t instead of c9. but its looking close between those teams

.

melser is popping heads again

I was skeptical because they played the 3 "worst" teams in the groups but they genuinely look insane so well drilled. Its not just the keznit show anymore

Less was frying on that role too. Maybe because they have less firepower with aspas gone, they want less to have more freedom on viper? idk its so weird

Heat and shy were such good pickups for this roster

Theres a 2 win minimum to advance to playoffs, so if 100t and lev are only teams with 2 wins then the other group gets another slot

KRU to win right? because the odds of KRU falling out of playoffs is unlikely, which is 3 L's in a row. If LOUD lose then lose to sen and the rest of the teams in alpha lose their games, I think is more likely. EG loses to NRG? Not worried about furia or mibr.

Im heavy coping and shit, but maybe because they're guaranteed to make champs, they don't want to show anything new and hoping to rely on old strats to pull through split 1 and 2. This is heavy cope once again

thats true we chocked, but apoth and jaw had a hell of a game compared to their previous series

(2021) funny enough, I learned about val from a clip of kyedae. "Shes dating the best val player in the world" comment. Looked up tenz highlights and started supporting them.

Lev 2-1 G2
LOUD 0-2 KRU (I got a weird feeling that keznit will farm today)

sayf

We've seen it all

whats funny is that riot doesn't even promote game changers at all. I wouldnt know its happening unless the players posted about it

I think you let this split/masters go. The level of play has dropped too far, either due to burnout from playing nonstop since February or other teams figuring you out. Even if they make shanghai at this level, it wont be a far run. Retool for split 2 and champs (basically guaranteed from points). Thoughts?

:(

GG 2021 all over again :(

same, that was so sad.

although lotus is heavy atk sided, there is quite alot that goes into the macro of the map compared to icebox and breeze which is just straight site hits because it's impossible to hold

whyd he choose now to play well? he just said fck sen, idc about anyone else

This is like beating a dead horse, but aspas had a monster game to barely scrap by a sen who seemed like they're having an off day. Now I wouldn't put one ahead of the other until they play again but rn I would say they're atleast equal

C9 can do the funniest thing

surely not

OP isn't talking about who's better, just who won the H2H

100T have a bunch of potential, its just the consistency isn't there. Cryo's confidence is through the roof today.

GGGGGGGGGGGGG

Getting rolled on one map, that could be a fluke but on 2 maps in a row? I think that is just being purely outclassed

From what is known now, ascension winners are in for 2 years then removed. The only teams with a permanent spot are the teams initially picked for franchising. Dont quote me on this tho

Challengers has one for bottom tier teams, do it franchising too. Maybe more orgs would be willing to join the tier 2 scene if there was a way to get in outside of just winning ascension.

Lev, just because we haven't seen KRU play a "good" team yet, once they play loud it'll be easier to gauge

-demon1, -ethan
+s0mpai, +puchan

after this match? for sure by a mile

get this man off raze

Yall got mad

I feel like the overall game plans aren't bad, its so many rounds decided by pure aim diff (if you disregard some of the genuinely thrown rounds)

youre acting like he has the same roster behind him

Don't get me wrong KRU are looking great, but EG are looking sooo bad

umm... can we make it happen? I like lakia and all but after that performance from zest

allegedly they weren't even scrimming with him either, just threw him into matches

yeah makes sense. I was skeptical about the change because I heard they weren't scrimming with zest last year and placed well.

foxy9 is looking so clean rn

His timeouts have been really impactful, so I was just thinking does this current roster really have a higher ceiling than the old one

Is it true that last year Termi wouldn't call timeouts to let stax learn? And why is he suddenly getting involved again and not with old roster if true?
