Rise is a good team. Idk why everyone is so surprised they beat optic. I think everyone is forgetting that they were able to beat 100t and c9 atleast once in lcq. Sure they haven't seemed as good in open and closed quals, however after this showing yesterday I think they can be top 1/2 in their group.

O nvm thats impressive im sorry

NOPE

IDK WHAT THAT MEANS BUT IF UR MAKING FUN OF BBL FANS IM ALL FOR IT. COULDNT EVEN SURPASS 50K VIEWERS AND YOUR TEAM GOT SHIT ON LMFAOOO

still throwing. Acend is build diff

ur basically throwing if u play bind against acend

Which team has the best split composition and plays the map the best?

LOL LDN is a fraud team, Navi just outplaying them in every aspect possible

This aged well kekw

Navi = Gambit Jr??? LFG

Liquid has the superior firepower but gambit has the superior strats and mental so it will be a hell of a match.

24 hours till they get fucked by fnatic!!!!

Bump! check this out guys it will be fun!

challengers main qual event is coming up for multiple regions drop you scrimbux down below idc what region it is!!!

Why fnatic so low?

respect

I am a pro. 3 pro players replied to my last thread.

Here is the secret. Start up some controversial debate that questions how good a team is. Once your thread gets a lot of attention, the pros start replying. You are welcome!

LETS GOOOOO LAKIA

I said I dont think they can repeat the same kind of success they did last year on the internation scale. This is all just for friendly debate. Im sure the teams do not care what others think of them after all they did prove they are the best in the world for now. I dont know why people are taking this to heart lol

Im sorry have you gotten pro players and coaches to reply to your threads? i think not. On top of that have you gotten the champs to reply to your thread? I think not.

LMFAOOO WHY ARE SO MANY ACEND PLAYERS/COACHES HERE

this was the perfect thread to gain attention

I know...

I would, however they didn't get nearly as much success as acend. I would say that KRU have improved the most however, their run at champs was lucky

LOL, I do understand your point. You didnt give the best example though.

I did. Liquid honestly got destroyed and acend played amazingly that day.

LMFAOOOO NO WAY YOU RESPONDED THIS IS THE PEAK OF MY VLR CAREER

I would LOVE to be disproved. This post was in no way any hate just my analysis of things and a conversation starter

Thats true, I just think that since I've seen Liquid play more Im biased

I dont think SEN is consistent at all. They were at the beginning of the year, however they were given a free pass to all the LANs and did not take advantage of it. Thats what lead to their poor performance in the end of the year. On the other hand, I do not think c9 are consistent at all either. No success in the beginning of the year, however they did pick things up in the LCQ. I think they have potential though!

Yea they did however after that until masters 3 they had no success. Even in Masters 3 they did bad.

I honestly agreee

LCQ?

.

In the EMEA scene yes they have

1. Gambit has placed top 1-2 in both lans they have played
2. In the EMEA scene, Liquid just seemed so dominant.

I never said anything about fnatic?

Idk I feel like liquid and gambit are a whole lot more consistent

Yea but I meant success on the international/lan level. I feel like they might not even make it there.

Am I the only one who feels like the Acend champs run was a fluke/wont happen again? In my eyes they have not been the most consistent team at all, I honestly do not think they can repeat the success they had again.

Edit:

Damn bruh I just wanted to have some good debate and conversation I didnt know this would trigger everyone.

FUCKKK THANK YOU

Group B

I think that a lot of things could happen in this group since this is by far the harder group. I think that acend might not come out as the 1 seed maybe 2/3 seed. I think that either fnatic or guild will take the 1 seed. It all depends on how well fnatic are doing with their new pickup and how much they have practiced with him. I also think that fnatic has a chance of underperforming a lot because of their new pickup. I think that guild looks extremely strong in this group and can definitely take the 1 seed. I havent watched much of turkey val but smb looks like a strong team with potential, so I am excited to see where they place. As for G2, there is still a lot they need to work on to beat the better t1 teams but i do think they will easily place 4/5th. Idk much about BBL so no comment there.

Group A
I think that Gambit will take the 1 seed. They are the most consistent team out of all the other EMEA teams and if they keep that up, they will 100% get 1 seed. I think that there is potential for BIG to upset liquid for the 2 seed. Big looks extremely strong at the moment and they seem to learn from their mistakes and adapt easily. If they prepare they can 100% pull off an upset. On the other hand tho, i think that there will be lots of competition for the 3 seed between ldn and big. I think both teams have the ability to learn and adapt and i am looking forward to see their games. I have not seen much from fpx, however after they beat navi and came back from a 2:0 lead, I think this team has a strong mental and if they keep training hard they can pull off some decent upsets. Navi is the weakest in this group in my opinion. They have a lot to work on together as a team however in the future they could be strong contenders.

Yea I really hope thats what theyre doing but still, these are tier 1 players with or without strats they should be doing better than this. Atleast theyre putting in work tho!

They do not look good at all. Im hoping it is because they havent gotten much time to practice together but still... I had high hopes for them

You really think so? Gambit is 100% top 2 team in the world at the moment, beating such a team would be so hard.

they refresh like astra

agreed.

yea i included that in the tldr

TLDR:

Someone lied abt testing negative for covid and went to a LAN event knowing the risks and implications that he probs has covid. Also, nerdstreet was not checking for vaccination cards or negative results even though they said they would before you could enter the LAN.
