wait so if any of the top 3 teams by champs points win regionals, does the second place team then qualify? or 4th by champs points?

i honestly think they got cocky like vs vitality, but werent able to recover enough to not throw

with the way they played against VIT and EDG, they threw so many rounds and looks far worse than when they played their first match

whichever does better in gf lwk

yeah plus all the times the cores have faced its like yin and yang i wouldnt be surprised if gf is a rematch of this

yo edg is the team with the best chance against PRX, because the run it down aim diff strats are more 50/50 than against other teams iykwim
prx have been playing better overall td but tbf edg hasnt been all 5 locked like usual

last time they picked based on what would make the fans most excited, so prolly nrg/vit

considering its so close itll prob come down to who pops off the most during gf

tbf its cuz pati played kayo which is by far the easiest agent to get assists on, and patmen doesnt play kayo. compare their fade assist stats and its much more even because pati isnt on THE assist farmer

i mean tbf prx's identity for a while has been hero plays

honestly a lot of times it feels like zekken is the team, if he doesnt excel the team doesnt do well

nah i saw he was lwk heating up

had ONE bad map and ppl start talking like hes urango or some shit (100t also fucking won the map too)

s0muel clears neg diff

i think if riot does a NA/SA split it would do WONDERS for the competitive scene, visa problems solved, more franchised SA teams, more competitiveness and incentive to succeed

idk about 2nd best but theyre def up there, they suffered mostly cuz of the internal issues we saw during the doc and are still a rly good team (id put them top 5 apac)

oh i forgot abt them lowkey

wait but if talon lose they get to potentially sit DRX down again

champs gf up 2-0 12-1 about to win... then lose a 1v5 clutch and get reverse swept

i love mtv been supporting them from when dsg apac first started

i think the problem is their current roster is better than most (if not all) T2 teams, but not good enough to be competitive in T1, so the question is do they risk making a roster change that goes wrong now, or wait to win ascension again before making changes

aw man thats fucked i hope hes ok

does anyone know what happened with avez?

my fault im lowkey slow 😭

IF zeta beat boom 2-0 and IF dfm beat t1 2-0, zeta and t1 have the same record and zeta wins due to map diff i think (unless its h2h first)

nvm im learning its h2h first my bad guys

bump

combined have 3 less kills, double the deaths, and 6 less assists than kamyk alone

ge ive not seen but yeah also srg can compete in t2 (doesnt matter cuz everyone gets washed by envy but for next year)

tbh i dont rly watch streamers but maybe its something related to his util usage/game sense or how he is on a team? idk if his mechanics r good then those wld b the only things

start digging in your butt twin

sdiybt 🥀

its up to what they want. if they are satisfied with being top 3 (probably top 2) in NA then they dont need to change. if they want more than that they need minimum role changes, but most likely some roster moves.

i will say, even though they appear to see no problem with roles and stuff, prx was the same way before tweaking roles a bit (after patmen addition) and it led them to a trophy. i understand if they dont change roles tho cuz they're a top 3 team in NA regardless

i think the role issues are the only thing they should focus on for now, johnqt and zellsis look uncomfortable on their roles and thats the biggest part for their struggles. zekken can be their star player but he needs more setting up rather than taking dry fights (which fixing roles would help). also the yoru stuff doesnt matter as much because yoru is starting to shift out of meta a little (additionally zekken is an insane yoru so his yoru is on par with the best itw)

ahhh ok tyty

if he gets a better team then he probably has hella potential right

i didnt catch the match but he looks goated from the stats, is he actually insane?

yeah thats literally what i said both of the maps you mentioned were PIVOTAL maps, and him underperforming was a big reason of why they lost the map (and series). also during pearl v prx he went -10, clearly underperforming. against th he was performing well the first 2 maps, but not nearly as well the next 3. keep yapping and proving my point bozo

he is the solution, but sometimes cant perform at the level needed to carry fnc

honestly i just think kaajak needs some more experience, he underperforms in pivotal maps in the GF (map 3 and 5 against TH, the whole series against PRX except icebox he looked off)

i cld b wrong but i think ppl call it offseason since its not a part of the vct circuit (kickoff, stage 1, stage 2, masters, champs)

its fine cuz prx wins champs

why are ppl shitting on him after 1 bad series? he is THE reason they even qualified to and won masters

PRX WIN

i dont think all of g2 are the best, valyns calling has been subpar recently, jaw has a trophy, leaf and trent deserve, jonahp underperforming recently (tho they should have won bangkok, at this moment they arent the best to not win)

c9 is terrible so oxy will never play internationally, talon is also terrible

my reasoning for primmie and oxy was raw mechanical skill, verno was shooting at toronto so i think it was recency bias from me

+32 on 5 diff agents against rrq he is HIM

will f0rsaken be the best trophyless player?
-other names that come to mind: trent, leaf, davai, mf, siufat, s0m, kaajak, th roster, mako, ash
took out verno (recency bias from me) oxy and primmie (havent proved internationally)

i dont think officially, but he takes over most of the macro stuff, prx v th alecks said "let jason call", today desk was comparing igls and put f0rsaken against siufat, so in every way except name hes igl
