demon1 is like another Yay to me, need a strong foundation with a supporting cast before he can rise up. He's not going to 1v5 everyone all the time. That's just how it goes, and that's why he was never 1st initiator / aggressive duelist. Hope he'll shine again one day so he doesn't fall into the depths of hell like Yay did.

It's cool, you're not going to convince people who are so blinded by their own beliefs. I for one also agree can't assume Tier 2 will match Tier 1 until we see some matches unfold. If he stays bottom and have low impact. You can come back in a few months and respond with an "I told you so"

I agree with that. I still want to see how it goes before going all in with optimism.

No offense but you sound like one of those florescent fans. Can't assume mada will do anything well until we see him play in legit Tier 1. This upcoming season will tell us if he can hang or not. None of the imaginary, "He did good in Tier 2 so he must be able to repeat the same in Tier 1" type stuff. Just saying. Wait and see.

Mada is mid to me. Hope he proves me wrong in this roster.

Same sentiments were had when Sacy and Pancada left Brazil. this notion of "betrayal"...It's just weird how people have such attachments like they can't go for better team or better money. lol. They're playing for their livelihood, whether it means staying in Brazil or leaving, they'll be smart enough to take the better offer no matter where it is.

He was only subbing in for the Red Bull event

yeah built different as in they're the only org that keeps bringing back people they let go, and switching their roster every second

I think maybe a motivator is that IMO, not finishing high school you'll have way more trouble finding work in the future unless you work extra hard. Plus, I think if you plan on going to college it's more enjoyable and you get to network with a bunch of folks. Maybe finishing to major in something you actually enjoy or are interested in will spark you finishing HS.

I met a ton of people who didn't finish school and more of them struggle than are successful. so i'd say finish that off at least then see what you wanna do after.

8K is insane for 2 years, you're right Lol. Bro got zero time away from vlr.

is he washed or is he finished?

Anyone will look good playing against plumbers. Until she proves herself in upper T2/T1 games, her high stats mean nothing

Should've been Kaplan instead

Also wanted to add. To me personally, it just sounds like Bob is being jealous/petty and trying to just throw rocks to try to sabotage Kat and Keznit's newly found relationship. lol. It's pretty lame tbh. Bob should just stand down and let bygones be bygones.

Bob just sounds jealous and trying to undermine Keznit now lol. It's petty.

raw dogging = sex without a condom

You got selective memory or must be dreaming. Look up the stats.

Doubt it, prob only good enough for Tier 3

Source: trust me bro

yep, cant expect lightning to strike the same spot twice. just like we can't expect miracles to happen every season. it's unfortunate because I like Potter and jawgemo. But you can only go so far if things don't line up with all the effort put in. Whether it be talent, team cohesion, money, etc

Bro is married has a career and family to worry about; he has a life to live outside of your parasocial relationship. Let the man live lol. Being too invested for no reason.

sinatraa when he's interacting with his viewers

yep, look how Bleed did every time they removed pieces. It's not easy starting a fresh new 5 and expect everything to magically work out. DSG is also an example of this. NRG is an example of this, too much newness based on perceived talent and accomplishments alone is not enough. Just an uphill climb for any org who does this imo.

Think it boils down to money. Riot doesn't wanna do more than they're already doing. Viewership tanked in League of Legends and so they're probably afraid it'll eventually happen to Valorant too.

This conversation is so braindead. you guys should just agree to disagree. y'all talking to brick walls and in circles.

Yea. it's the case of, "better team" vs "better that day"

Been said this after they started playing internationally. They're the only ones that can save CN. It won't be BLG, TE, or EDG to showcase that. FPX is their best overall team.

The kitten analogy he used basically implying they were playing to not lose rather than playing to win.

Sorry man your assumptions just sound insane. Are you there to see him take his meds and caffeine daily? No? Stop assuming off conjecture then.

SEN will need a miracle. I'ma root for NA but I don't have high hopes.

you can like a person and still admit he's not the greatest. Nothing wrong with calling it as you see it.

yikes, if sinatraa got slammed by unproven allegations, wonder what this guy will get.

called this since day one. everyone so blinded by his raze but never look at him fitting in the overall aspect. He just ain't him.

Meh, I don't think what you said is a hot take, it'll just depend if SEN shows up or not. Mix between level of nerves, lack of strats and whoever hits their shots will show who wins.

China gonna get farmed by everyone else like they usually do

Jimmy Lin was legit back in Counterstrike 1.6 days in Team 3D and EG. Y'all shameless.

Looks like cheap plastic

agreed, kaplan and alecks are a product of their players, without them they would not be lookin good.

yep Apoth seems to be the weakest link rn

if they can land this roster. they'll go far for sure

still higher potential than both of those coaches, and they had the better rosters. just saying

both chet and kaplan won't make SEN better lol. Potter would.

don't need to just cheer for just one team. it's okay to like multiple lol.

Very nice breakdown. Indeed they are a very fun team to watch even though they don't have any "all star" players. Really good team synergy. Just need to stay consistent with the fire power and strats and push through

facts, I grew up on OG Counterstrike and it was always EMEA and NA. Good to see some more representation from Asia.

Someone get Deryeon a new team. Guy puts in work for such a broken team lol.

Bleed so greedy lol

might as well bring demon1 back at this point. they getting straight murked

nah, that's definitely not true. watch any top team out there, they don't have 1 guy running down 1v5 to win the match so it's unfair to say that.. at the end of the day it needs to be everyone working together for the dub. G2 just got the best of them.

Keznit is a great player. It's just too bad KRU is not consistent as a team
