I think Optic beats DRX, but it depends how DRX comes up in the Loser's bracket.
His aim was atrocious. I don't think there was a single game where he had a 1 k/d. His calls were obviously fantastic, but his aim has maybe improved.........
He has had at least one game now with a 1 kd, lmao. Still averaging ~0.80 kd over last 60 days, and that's with more wins than losses.
Yeah. Both games are going to be great, but I'm really looking forward to Optic vs DRX
Honestly, so many mistakes from Fnatic on that clutch. The first pick, fine. The second pick the dude didn't even look his way until he was shot. The third pick the guy in hell had an advantage and squandered it. Gen guy didn't peek with hell guy, and decided to not play time like he could have.
Trash Fnatic team tbh
EMEA always send 3 teams to a top 8 tournament, and even last time they didn't make top 4 KEKW
To be fair, XSET has yet to go against a non-NA team this tournament...
This wouldn't be a sole ANGE1 decision. They're not going into this without practicing it and the team agreeing to it
How does EMEA try to pretend they're better when they couldn't even make it in the tournament to go against NA, who won the whole thing, lmao
Yup. Optic continues to adapt (not that they're the only ones to do this), but they're heavily consistent. I'm actually curious the last time they lost to the same team twice in a row
NA teams automatically eliminated round 1, wdym? lmfao
Riot bias:
I could see it being 2-1 in anyone's favor. I think it'll be a good matchup
Are you? PRX has to obliterate EMEA for EMEA to not make it to the finals. It's as simple as that. Can't wait for that to happen so EMEA makes excuses. Plus you have 38% of the slots in the tournament.
You mean when you had ZETA v G2, LOUD v TL, and if Fnatic won they would've been against PRX, all in the first round of the last tournament? Meanwhile TGRD and Optic went against each other first round? Please...
So you get handed Upper Finals unless PRX rolls your region, zzzzzzzz.
Riot's handing you guys at minimum making it to the finals this time on a platter, and your region will still mess it up.
NA bias but NA has 2 of 8 slots in the brackets and have to go against each other first round twice in a row? zzzzzzz
Why does it always have to be NA vs NA at the start? So stupid. Same thing with EMEA, but they have 3 slots so it's A LOT more likely
Why are we comparing an initiator to a controller? The fact that Marved has no util in clutch situations makes it difficult, but he still finds a way with insane reads and lurks
mako's definitely up there, but probably top 5 controller world
Vanity is garbage. I'd be fine with replacing Shahzam, but you had to bring up him? That's almost equivalent of adding Steel, lmao.
True. I remember this happening not too long ago:

Dude's a clown
Usually they're not little b*tches baiting their teammates, which is nice
I mean, yeah.... not much point in thinking anyone in Korea beats DRX.
Plus CNJ have lost their last 5 games (and of course DRX won their last 5, all 2-0)
I forget who it was, but I think it was someone on Optic (FNS?) who mentioned Ghost Gaming have been practicing like crazy and will likely be a top team in NA this split. Turns out they were right. This was said right after Iceland.
It's a Faze fan, they like some ratchet shit, probably thiccccccccc chicks that would bounce and break them
Valorant doesn't have as many crazy movement as Overwatch does, which makes tracking and flicking very difficult. It also requires constant precise gameplay as a team, unlike Valorant that requires aim placement with the occassional flicks and many slow plays. They all have skill in their own right, but Valorant requires a single head tap, OVerwatch requires constant headshots on a character that has better movement and is getting healed so if you miss one shot, they're back to full health.
Honestly, Sen have continued to pay him after the start of the accusations, following the failure to cooperate with Riot Game's investigation, etc. I can see him sticking with Sen because they're willing to pay him money, and the few times I've tuned into his stream, he talks about money and investing.
T1 is a cursed org, I've said it many times. So many players have left that org and dominated, like Victor, Crashies, Sayaplayer, seven. Realistically, their awful org in NA has caused so many could be greats leave Valorant too. I wish they left NA already, because there's clearly something going wrong.
"wannabe twistzz" with no explanation as to how. Winning a championship?
Japanese casters >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This happened to me once. The caster said false things and I've heard him do it multiple times, so I called it out in chat and said he's the worst caster. He was on the stream right after and was pissed at me and my comments. I somewhat felt bad, but come on, you should know what's going on in the game you're casting. This was Hearthstone.
Also fun fact, T1 own part of the Philadelphia Fusion (academy only?) and they were one of the teams to do this. There is a giant compound being built in Philly specifically for them and tournaments. They wound up playing in Korea last season, but I haven't kept up with it this year to know if they're back in NA. Again, they (T1) changed it to a FULL Korean roster. They've done it once in another game, they're a Korean org, and they can do it again.
Yeah, and some things leaked in the Overwatch League in 2021, the LA Valiant vehemently claimed on Twitter that they weren't selling the team or moving to China. A month later they dropped the whole roster and replaced it with full Chinese players and a Chinese coach, to play in the Asia region. This isn't the only time something like this has happened from orgs. The LA Valiant is owned by the Immortals organization.
On top of that, there are teams that played with players from all regions of the world, but decided to drop all NA/EU players and go full Korean roster for better communication. They still play in NA, but it's a full Korean roster.
With Faze it's up in the air. Babybay has insane games, or mediocre games, and the same goes for Dicey. Have both of them feeling it and it's gg.
I have a feeling that's the long term goal. There are plenty of amazing Korean dps players in Overwatch that could transition. Funny enough, T1 had both Sayaplayer and ANS (amazing Overwatch dps player who decided to go back to Overwatch).
Well yeah, the reason CSGO is known as one of the most competitive games is because there are no big changes. Everybody knows the strats, where and how to smoke, flash, molly, etc. It's so set in stone, you have to be well above the rest to stand out with micro play.
Valorant will never be like that, and might appear like that when a special strat comes out that becomes meta in pro play because it's broken, but that will always be temporary.
Literally any EU country outside of the United Kingdom can try and make a case for food. I've lived in the UK, the food was atrocious. There's argument for Michelin Stars, but those chefs have ALL been trained in France because UK chefs don't know how to cook. Plus that's the top end food, and NA > EU on average. Hell, food in Morocco on average was better than food in the UK, lmfao. Trash country.
NYFU is a solid team. It's owned by a big org and all of the players are from T1/T2. Don't underestimate them.
Depp's case and Sinatraa's don't begin to compare, whether Sinatraa's ex-gf is lying or not. Depp was abused
He's BR, you're delusional
Agreed with DRX, that's it. We saw their mental decline and fall off in their losses, otherwise very dominant. They're a super young team and hopefully can work on not being affected by pressure
This dude thinks he's the center of the universe, lmao
