bleed should drop their coach and pick up an igl sentinel player instead of retla, yay played fine, scarry played fine, deryeon played fine, zest was a little questionable but i think it was his first official on gekko, and retla looked lost on map 3. they had zero strength in mid rounding, their comps were shit, their gameplans were meh, and their executes and retakes were pretty poor. this teams poor performance is not yays fault like the haters would have you believe.

wait what happened to flashback this team is cooked he looked like their best player he was one of the only reasons they even played gen g close it woulda been a blow out otherwise

France, Canada, Mexico

clutch % is a pretty useless stat their is a skill set but you cant force your opponents to throw and theres too many variables but lakia is underrated hes not the biggest fragger but hes the secondary voice on the team and he had the best initiator utility at madrid imo

KC beat TH bc of anti strating them engh is the goat but player for player TH is better and their run was more impressive i doubt kc is going to shanghai

mb meant to reply to someone else

i support this message GenG are gonna choke shanghai too bc of a stacked group stage and then are gonna win it all in champs

we gotta stop pacific hate like they have low lows cuz a lot of teams lack experience but they defiantly leveled up from last year and secret, rrq, t1, drx all look like they could make it to a lan and be competitive its not the best region by any means but its not like you could drop a mid tier na team in pacific and they would win every series

GenG had a hot streak on that map in kickoff and winning close series i think it skewed their perception of themselves on it but they are pretty solid on that map they have good ideas i think it was more just nerves here once they loss the 2nd pistol and they saw the scoreline slipping away they all tried to make hero plays to get them back in the game which is very uncharacteristic i dont blame them i think this was an experience diff gen g in my mind when they are playing at their best look better than sentinels also today nobody was really shooting like they normally do munchkin and karon had really impactful clutches but t3xture never really took the game into his hands like he normally does

vlr is straight brainrot

they did not get anti'd loud won the map select clearly this was the best possible outcome for loud besides them not winning icebox
