lineups are fine you, if you see ur opponent is using them then play anti lineup

Unfortunate tho to not get a vandal skin

No I would imagine we will see other guns that aren’t Vandal, Phantom, OP, (maybe) Sheriff

going to have to agree it was rough to watch

players play better when they have chemistry with the rest of the players maybe that’s what he was missing

Usually when SEN have a perma ban its a map they are working on heavily as we saw with Lotus and Icebox previously. Im sure theyll try something new

they'll keep vandal and phantom for the vct champs bundles, leo faria said it somewhere

thats been a complaint from fans to orgs for ages. Some just make bad quality content

I mean the matches are way less predictable than other regions

nah we like this tenz arc let him keep cooking

finally now this is something i can get behind

its just a small group from both fanbases that go at it

it would take me longer tbh

the fact that people care about this is crazy

conference league lmmao

if you think any of those tourneys are mickey mouse then you guys are coping hard

nah they should keep their spot. The league will expand eventually and those teams you guys want will get their permanent spot

same genre of game i should have specified more sorry g

i mean Benjyfishy can fall off right now and he'll be remembered for being top level at two different esports (genres!)

MIBR is an outdated example, FURIA more accurate

Unless they make the slots permanent with an expansion, regardless of the bundle sales they going down

it would really depend on the next event, if SEN qualify and place top 3 at Shanghai or Champs it would be a better year than '21. They placed 5-8th at Berlin and 9-12th at Champs. Not really awesome placements imo

SEN NRG LOUD
KC TH FNC
GENG PRX T1
EDG FPX TEC (RB cope)

Probably the second. DRX is a massive favorite but teams are still figuring out their map pool, meaning they are likely to have a couple of bad maps that even the worst of teams can win on

his brain probably thought of this because those lower bracket upsets. I agree they do not understand how bad from a prep and performance standpoint it looks to lose with that double veto advantage

I was sold on RRQ by analysts during the offseason going to have to stick around and pick them

I keep up with this google sheets a vlr user made. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y7Ytig2Vada9J4RTMjPGD6f3_9DCzjyLUMUa2Ncsq-A/edit#gid=0

yeah their players look good on paper, must be something we dont know about that is affecting their performance.

now this is something i can get behind

both sides need a change of scenary, 100T need a new raze/flex and Asuna needs a new team.

they need a better flex raze, there is going to be an inevitable NA N4RRATE bidding war. 100T got enough money to win that

He just isnt a great flex, he puts up much better numbers on raze. N4RRATE on this team next year would be an insane upgrade

completely agree

even with a loss here, they are playing at such a high level despite all the issues they had. respect to the players and coaches.

They should’ve gone for Fennel’s roster instead

Hard to say, pacific is packed with cracked duelists

Vlr has had issues sometimes with the game info, id believe what it says on the stream

Agree with you, but on the bright side you are not DFM

not trash but jetlagged and out of practice for much more than a couple of days

the reaction is because it is expected for them to be dominant regionally but now I guess they are third behind KC and TH. Theyll likely take that third slot for shanghai and get to champs but I dont see them as winners this season

if you cant beat LOUD, who struggled with visa issues and couldnt prac well, with all that time to practice and rest due to not qualifying then the team might be cooked

LMAO fair enough

they are guaranteed the points spot which doesnt populate till the end of the quals, its (almost) impossible for them not to get the point spot

i think they have good vibes thats not their issue. chronicle was laughing it up before map 2 started

idk what happened to him, he looked fine at red bull,

The Lotus one is the same one as last year but many good lotus teams still play them (SEN/KC). It’s good to see that they are better coordinated than on Icebox. Looks like they’ve added some layers compared to Kick Off

They faced two top 3 teams. I’m happy for them because most teams would kick themselves and have lower morale. With all the roster problems and limited practice because of MiniBoo’s exam schedule and the visa issues with Wo0t, most people would have just taken the loss but they came swinging

It’s fine to be confident in yourself and your team but it’s really disappointing when he says stuff like that and they show up in mid form and with cookie cutter ideas

Buzz too good

the expectations came from scrims M80 and G2 (guard at the time) were frying. Very underwhelming start considering it was a core that had made it to an international tourney and was scrimming top teams all year
