its bc they're "boring"

atleast its the phantom and close range.

shhhh... we don't talk about that game. lost in the ether

If they don't make it far in Toronto, they'll probably make a change, but rn it seems like john really only struggles to call against valyn

They understand john's calling too well. Bigg props to valyn/joshrt, their prep is crazy good

but the no 1 seeds, get an extra week of prep I believe, and the tejo nerf is before the event, so being the 1 seed is a huge advantage.

Plus sunset is coming back

g2, they got far asf with icy, which is the same as no duelist

This team is just too good. Unfortunate, but look forward to Toronto

I don't even watch him. It's just mad confusing why people care about other people's interest. Watch shanks, tarik, sliggy, or fns, just watch what you like and who cares about others

People like background noise? Not everyone sits there and analyzes the game
They've watched him from his cs days?
They genuinely like him?
Most watches him when you plays, so they watch him while vct games are on?

It doesn't matter, people watch who they like to watch and you watch who you watch. Just bc he's boring to you doesn't mean hes boring to everyone else

Am I tripping? Or are scrim leaks not that surprising? I'm sure this has happened in cs way before. Friends on opposite teams will always talk about other teams and discuss strats, this also happens in IRL sports, where teams would discuss gaps in other opponents.

There's probably alot more that I'm missing, right?

Tenz's playstyle is more flashy vs aspas is just more stable

That could be it, strat book is looking thin rn

Has kinda gotten alittle worse, no? Pressure getting to him? Fragging has gone down too. IMO they aren't playing as adaptive as they did in the beginning of the year and sorta full reverted back to the slow heavy default like 2024.

Maybe i'm reading too much into it

Young and Inexperienced. Sometimes a call is made that is meh, but a plan is better than no plan so they full send

it'll kinda fk'd if they change it for vct right before a master's, but it'll be kinda fun to see how teams adapt

After Toronto?

The fracture comp bc wtf was that. Just use the tejo/breach

by track

one still has a trophy

Being a Demon1 fan, I thought you'd have more trust in someone/some team rebounding LOL

Their strat book was running thin and with Tejo being nerfed, it'll lean more towards T1's playstyle. They have 2 months to cook

But in the mean time. PRX TRAIN!!!

supamen's lvl rn is too high to drop

SEN outplayed them in every way, not necessarily an off day for MIBR bc it felt like they didn't have a chance, gameplan/strat wise

Exactly

EG would be just another early exit at Toronto

This man just casually pulling a 10K watch party?? Retire and stream already

That can't work bc every agent is so limited in what util they have. This isn't cs, where everyone can have their own util like flashes, mollies and smokes. A sova with only 1 dart, and a fade with only 1 eye, a team just doesn't have enough flashes to reclear/clear everything and you'd have to do everything as a team. Also imagine breach with only 1 stun and it just kills controllers, you'd be forced to play double controller every map.

I can see it on like icebox, triple initiator, and just site exec, but other maps, its not possible imo

Don't get me wrong, I don't enjoy the Tejo meta. This is more about how riot handles changes, its overtuning or killing an agent, there seems to be no middle ground.

A smaller map range or smaller AOE. There are other ways to make the teams play "smarter" instead of just 2 rockets max

People are saying the changes are fine, but just like how the no cooldown killed skye, its gonna do the same to tejo

Astra, Chamber, skye, and now tejo. I know balancing is hard but whats the point of such drastic changes that'll dictate the meta like crazy? Teams most likely won't run tejo for awhile bc the changes drastically change the way the team will have to default. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the Tejo meta but this is basically killing the agent. Why not just try a longer cooldown as a small nerf and go from there??

He most likely wasn't as talkative bc he was joining a team of veterans. Being the "rookie", you usually take a step back and watch what they do, but now he's on a team of rookies outside of aspas and artizin is still fresh out of his first year. Now his comms "matter more"

GG'S

100T to Toronto

My honest take is that they'd be a similar level. Kaplan literally let tenz make the most outrageous plays out of instinct and I think that is a big part in activating a player. Zander would for sure be playing at a higher lvl then he currently is on 100T

100T out of ideas on map 1

give him the TRACE kai treatment?

They only care about champions, no other tournaments matter to them clearly

Was it nerves? Or heavy anti? I wasn't expecting that score line

teams aren't allowed to improve? sen look alot better from that kru game

NOT A DOUBT IN MY HEAD

I wasn't sweating bricks

I SECOND

not even bc we're losing but its so dumb that you point and click = stall

It just got worse :(

W jinx or no?

I knew it was gonna be a stomp from the beginning but yall said there was a chance :(

naw we just worse than g2 :(

TY YOU FNS

They might be the best team ITW in terms of aimers, all 5 are insane

Has ASPAS ever had a "duo" on a team? On LOUD, it was like sacy/pancada. aspas and verno seem like good friends outside of the server too
