That's true. I guess my thought process was just that this team worked very nicely in the beginning of the year because something clicked and they all worked together. Their retakes seemed unmatched and their chemistry ingame was very well coordinated.
I'm not sure they'd be able to replicate it again to this extent with a new 5th that is completely new in this environment.

Yeah I totally agree, I think they'll be able to get back to form, but if they don't I just don't think the problem would be solved with 1 player change.

Who would you replace this split?
Sacy? The guy with the worst stats throughout the year, but is the only that showed up in split1
Zellsis? The only guy that supposedly brought this team together and built team cohesion?
Zekken? Their previous win condition, but underperformer for the matches they lose?
JohnQT? Tenz?

Like this team works only in this form, I don't think you can choose and pick who to replace from this team, since they won't be able get back to that level.

I was under the impression that the level of play has gone down.
Maybe not since Lock-in since that was the very first invitational of franchising, but especially compared to Tokyo or Champs, the level atm across the board is weaker compared to last year.

I don't think replacing anyone on this team is a solution. They've played much better in the past. They've just been antistratted and played like dogshit since coming back from Madrid.

If they don't get back to old form in Split2 with this roster, they need more than just a -Sacy - Zellsis removal, they need to build a whole new team. Because the last few matches, they've all been playing like shit

Stop yapping so much. Before Madrid, you were all waffling about crazy Heretics, goat KC and then the got dismantled at Madrid.

If this region does well at Shanghai, then yeah it's a decent region, but this year, so far, they have barely proven themselves to be better than China.

The only significance is the championship point for Sen.

Nah, they banned Sinatraa and wanted to get involved in the investigation. Because he declined, they just perma banned him from competing.

I thought for sure your mouth would still be full of Turkish sausage, but I guess you're quick to swallow

Who's that? I swear only baby's can pick such stupid names.

For once I agree. Very excited for that match. 100T looks very nice atm .

Wtf kind of persian invasion is this?

I agree, even if they make it to playoffs, I'd rather see 100T or C9 in Shanghai than Sen at this point.

We've already seen them enough this year plus they'll be at champs. And the way they've been playing I think taking a break is good for them

Eventhough C9 just got dumpsters on, they've got the round farming games up, and even if Oxy plays with a blindfold they'll gain a large round diff from those games.
And I doubt SEN will be able to do the same vs Loud or EG really.

I think 100T > NRG, but that may be recency bias.
Also isn't Furia worse than MIBR? I mean they got dismantled by a team like G2.

Especially if cocktor and trashies are perfectly acceptable ways of spelling their names.

He's the two for one deal

It seems Y0y learned from the germans.
Have one great year and then fall off like a cliff.

You mean split 2? I don't think they'll make Shanghai tbh. C9 would win over the NRG we saw today.

So you're telling me the only thing stopping C9 from first seed is tether default?
This timeline is cooked.

2/15 FK/FD talk about an entry fragger

Wash your mouth after, it still smells

I have that image of the girl crying into her drink burned into my mind 😂

yeah less is more

It's the only match that could go either way.

Also DSG brought a lot of hype with tarik watching the games. There was just a lot more hype around it due to it being new and also being the first time the winner getting a slot in franchise.

Madrid was a great crowd for the event. Despite their home team being rolled and getting eliminated faster than China, they still showed up in all matches and cheered.
Good spectators, not ruining the game with sound cues, but still good ambience and noise for rounds!
They even stayed for the event winners.

And while some of the kids in the background of the post match interviews were 100% walking condom ads, they seem like passionate and respectful fans.

So thank you Madrid, thank you Spain. Would love to see another event hosted there.

thats literally what the post is about.

Please Ausam for the sake of your sanity, stop replying to this braindead troll.
I don't know why you put so much effort into arguing with a wall.

bro tried to sneak in ethan.

LOL! First time Korea is in a final and you guys already think of domination.
Get a grip

you really coudn't cook anything better for my boy sacy than bald ??
He's had a rough tournament but surely anything is better than just his shiny hairless smooth round cranium..

Now just dont look at the player comaprison during their last matchup...

Yeah thanks, right back at ya.
Not what I wrote. Maybe a bit slower for the people with a learning disablity:

"this is such a horrible way to rate a player"
---> Rating a player on KD alone and not on impac during a game is useless.
---> Just because d4v41 goes negative in most games doesn't mean he is useless and should be replaced.

Great that your buddy fenis said d4v41 is a great player. Last I heard he wasn't shitting on monyet so you'll have to find another streamer to make your opinion for you. All I heard him say is that the entire PRX team is dogshit and plays like ascendants in ranked. Don't really see how that is Monyets fault, they've been this bad since I started watching VCT.

Saying that as if Sen wouldn't win vs every single team apart from GenG.

this is such a horrible way to rate a player.

d4v41's stats:

Masters Madrid:
PRX vs Sen = -19
PRX vs Loud = -4
PRX vs GenG = +10
PRX vs KC = -1
PRX vs TH = -4
PRX vs EDG = -7

Nice only went positve on the match the got destroyed on.
-----------
Play Offs:
PRX vs GenG = -11
PRX vs T1 = -5

You wanna boot him off too? hE iS MiNuS -37 FoR the laST mAtChEs, get a grip buddy.
If you want this team to ever win something, kick off half the team and bring some order to their chaos, otherwise enjoy their W gaming and stop flaming certain players for no reason. Keep coping if you believe they would've made finals with jingg
