might be biased but loud-optic had two overtimes and a lot of generational clutches

goes to show how KD can be misleading

shameless edit i saw it + optic 22 and loud 23

been there brother :')

most deserved 2nd place since the last one lmao

bro jawgemo dropped 103

Stax and Buzz are honorary brazilians so this is an americas win

OVERTIME FINAL MAP WILL T1 WIN?????? WHAT A GREAT FINAL

W PRIORITIES

WHAT IS THIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

his choking genes are clocking it, wake up and lockin brother fight against that even stax is doing fine

bro he said with a hard R there's no way is that

the absolute silence after that

say what now

leaf choking genes are clocking in my god

LOOK AT THIS LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

what a fun final i tuned in these last few rounds and its so cinematic

I AM NOT MOVED BY HIS SATCHELS, AND NEITHER IS HE

you must've felt so funny typing this
and tbh you should this was funny i'il give you that

based on kickoff id say
americas furia and 2G
emea apeks and koi
idk about apac and china

the entire shinden should retire except snw and maybe david

there was never a map.. rotation was announced ages ago

idk why tho abyss is like 8 months old already

maybe they are slowing down and focusing on agents now (two agents in two months is crazy)

well im 22 i might be old to him so i should be careful

so thats what he meant by asking what sound brazilians do when we're hurt

thats... a very ambitious and weird thing to do for sure
i hope they left this idea behind

just started teaching portuguese and theres this guy in my class that goes for Verno does anyone knows him he seems a bit weird

i think last year less on loud was pretty much a mono viper until the neon buff where cypher became essential lmao

i wonder what he means by team system. natank didnt really felt out of place watching it from outside, neither he was playing badly. but of course im not gonna discredit the answer from the actual coach - just not the impression i got from outside

Viper is played as a pseudo sentinel since like 2022 tho

He's not playing Vyse to complete for his teammates roles since theres not a fixed controller
But he said there is plans for him to play it

https://youtu.be/9QYtt70tXbE?si=bI-RVmSmjw3DRGw9 (Tuyz 1v3 vs Kru - That weird grenade round)

heard a rumour fns is crashing the stage and pissing on the trophy so not mickey mouse anymore

not gonna watch the game tomorrow but this is a very hype and fun final i like it
im predicting a 3-1 G2 win
would be fun to have T1 winning tho

china had a second tournament before masters where the teams played there could be something like that for other regions

Of course, you're comparing the late-year version of the teams with the early-year version of the current ones. They will always look better because end-season always looks better than early-season

Lock-In top 4 was not really great compared to Champions of that year

Fair enough. I don't really know cause 2024 meta was too weird and idk how they would work out role wise, but they could, i just don't really see it. But being fair even if they individually fell off separated later they probably wouldn't if they kept the team and the momentum going. Too much what ifs but its what happens when the team is really special

just so you know my comment on that thread wasn't negative. even if they got perfect timing and luck like i said they still needed competence and talent to pull it off and they did because they were a great team. what i meant is that they were the perfect team for that situation and context and it likely wouldn't work on any other year/meta/team and that's not something bad because it just shows how good they were at the time

didnt get a team and is just chilling

lightning in a bottle team. very good system in a meta that suited them + lucky brackets and groups + the knife incident + individual performances peaked in champions and got maximized by the system. everything just went right for them, and they knew how to abuse that

champions fall off is when you dont immediately win the next international (it never happened before)

this would be the funniest outcome ngl

also there is a decent chance to an "upset" happening is not really locked on anyone winning

Honestly this might be a hot take but this is the most hype final to me since Champs 23

Two first time international finalists orgs and they are big esports-wise, Ascension team going on a run, Stax and Buzz comeback, someone losing the choker certificate, likeable teams, decent meta... Might be my 2024 hate bias but i like this more than any 2024 final

prob more reliable than crowd sound but still kinda fallible on a big venue

either that or mako and we know is not mako lol

stax and buzz getting out of DRX and getting a final on their first international championship since and DRX still don't have a international final... bros..

they can but its very difficult. they likely hear more from the teammate's microphone but is still muffled. prob not reliable enough so they dont take into account. i heard some val players talking about this already, thats why im saying

they do but there's also high white noise on the headphones its not only game sound

idk about cs but its very difficult to hear the crowd on val
