Nah let Taco cook in latam

He is playing right now too, his team is 1st place in the league

I feel so bad for Spike, he'll be back later in the season to join a dismantled roster, all of his hard work during ascension destroyed to pieces

Wow great analysis, I wouldn't know the comms part bc I don't know portuguese but that makes a lot of sense, I think for example on KRÜ they've said that Adverso just makes the initial plan and Mazino/Keznit comm a lot on the mid round as the playmakers, so If Vinny is taking that much responsibility on pre round and mid round it's reasonable to expect such low performance.

And about the psychologist... It's so unfair we have such kind of issues just to play on NA, but that's like a whole different topic that Riot should address.

Do you think Loud will end up replacing Tuyz? I've seen quite a lot of people asking for -Tuyz +Luk_xo but also some of their calls have been questionable on Vinny's part.

IMO the players are fine and have a lot of firepower, but their mental seems fragile, for example after the round Shyy 4k on a low buy they were too nervous and ended up making a lot of mistakes (against Sentinels too)

Idk how they should address their issues at this point

Based list

Interesting that we have the same top 5 from kickoff after the first week of VCT

Let's see how the rankings change after week 2, specially with the results of KRU vs SEN and MIBR vs G2 (the top 4 teams)

Are you ok dude?

Furia has a chance...

2G throw was worse, EG is known for throwing advantages but 2G wasn't even able to get more than 7 rounds in VCT this year.

Having the opportunity to switch the game in their favour and getting caught on that trip is definitely a bigger throw

I'm so happy Zap came back to his Ascension tournament form, keeping the morale up and screaming at every round

This mf is gonna take MIBR to top 6 champs at minimum.

He plays any agent so his teammates can stay on their comfort picks
He uses the shittiest guns to surprise the enemy and is able to do the rattiest plays with no shame
You need a crossfire? Artzin gets on the unfavorable position
You need someone to get traded first? Artzin will come in jumping

AND HE IS ALSO IGLING while having good firepower
That's it thanks you for reading

He is the goat

I've been telling you guys since last year

ARTZIN IS THE TRUTH

Tranqui Panchito juega lo que sea

Good luck Furia and Heat!!!
I hope they give us a surprise

I was watching a stream from Atom (KRÜ HC) and he said it was the first time ever in Keznit's career that he had to learn lineups

They both lose bc C0m was flanking all the way from Bind and knifes them

Who has the worst map pick challenge

Nicomachine 87% KAST on his debut with the roster

OXÜ making a comeback in the league!!!

The fuck are you saying, they are not the same old boring team of 2024 this year they've showed us great maps and the most entertaining Grand finals in a long time

You were cooking until asuna bro

Askia is an interesting choice tho, we haven't seen especially good debuts from the BR players yet (dgzin doesn't count bc he was previously on franchise 2023)

DALE NICO LA MÁQUINA CUÁNTO TE EXTRAÑEEE

El jugador con más KAST% del ascension ta de voltaa

For Americas:
Aspas (Duelist)
Trent (Initiator)
Kingg (Flex/second caller)
Valyn (Smokes/IGL)
Shyy (Sentinel)

Aspas has to be with 2022-2023 mentality to make it work

EMEA:
Vitality xD

For APAC is basically T1:
Buzz (Duelist)
Stax (Initiator/IGL)
D4vai (Flex)
Karon (Smokes)
Meteor (Sentinel)

Maybe I'm trolling with this but I think so highly of Karon

They offer and the org decides to join or not

Vctscrims gives us content when there are no vct matches I like it

Tuyz is probably going to play a few matches, maybe the entire stage 1 and depending on his performance they could try Luk xo on the roster, that's the logical decision I think.

Ppl don't understand that 100T would be shit without Boostio

vamo liquiiid

The NA challengers send two teams to ascension
One of them is through winning stage 3
The other one is through VCL points

Each stage gives points depending on the standings
Stage 1 gives a maximum amount of 65, Stage 2 gives max 75, and Stage 3 80 points

Envy ended up 5-6th so they get 40 points

They are not out of reach yet

For detailed info check out liquipedia

Would be a nice script but I doubt it happens, either G2 or Vitality is NOT winning this year.

ION YOU HAD IT

hi

bump

Xolos vs Envy or M80 this year would be cinema

Nonsense, we should agree that 2G is really bad right now but they lost their best player so what would anyone expect.
Same thing with Apeks in EMEA, they ascend and immediately lost two players and they proceed to lose every game in kickoff.

It's unfortunate but it would've happened with most of the other 2024 ascension teams in Americas.
What if Galorys ascended? Sato and Luk xo were under 18 What if All knights ascended? DanteDeus (mvp of that tournament) is still under 18
Reta and TSM didn't even reach playoffs

My conclusion is that any ascension team from last year (except for m80) was gonna be shit this year bc they had underaged players.

It's very entertaining

EZ for Conir and Monch

It's Kaguya sama love is war

Horimiya is also good

Fruits Basket if you are female

Three controllers on the same team? I think you are cooked without an extra initiator

I love evori dreamwings too! I prefer the blue one tho, although my friends and even my gf tells me that it's too girly BUT I DON'T CARE.

Keep using the skins you like!!!

Probably Korea

He comes from NA and was a well known ranked demon over there, that's why the community still remembers him

DANTEDEUS

Team Liquid Brazil is looking really strong too

They hatin on both Emea and Americas 3rd best teams :(

Sadly Lev 2-0 Oxü
Unless a miracle happens and Oxü gets back on track

If NA sends Envy and M80
Brasil sends Corinthians and Red canids
Latam sends Shinden/9z and Xolos

Envy gets 3/4th
M80 plays Xolos and they choke third times in a row
Brasil wins next year ascension because the academies are insane

He almost never drops stinkers tho, and he drops life games once every 5/6 matches

Holy downgrade.
Sadly they didn't have many options either, it was between him, Nozwer or some NA player

2023 overall

VAMOS OKEANOS
