who would have thought...

should try to go pro in cs, chinese cs in on the rise and the trio of jee, emilia and kk would give chinese cs unlimited aura

when is the fucking draw lmfao

you are fighting ghosts, why would the same people who say that be the same ones celebrating? we are not a collective hivemind

I think GSR is better

might be but no way to prove it, top10 is hard to tell but both Sayo and GSR would be in contention for best initiator EU if they were allowed to play in franchise in a good team tomorrow

get spring and make a run at champs, break the bank if needed

neither are GSR or kozzy who are goated aswell but I was just including actual t1 players

it was always a braindead take to say EMEA was dead or a one team region, anyone that has been watching EMEA for the last 2 years could tell the region was in a transition phase where every single team was promoting t2 talent and trying to find new IGLs like Jamppi, Boo, Nats, Saadhak, Unfake ? etc, it takes time for these teams to go from talented rookies and raw IGLs to international contenders but it was always clear that the skill floor had risen a lot specially this season, there are very few players in EMEA that I can say are absolute dogshit while in the first two years of franchise the league was full of fucking dogs

dont worry, we are building the foundation for plenty of trophies in the upcoming years, 4/4 teams in playoffs without xeus, comeback, leo or nats at the tournament

they didnt fall off, they were never good to begin with, 1 team region

prx can be hard if u are not used to them, they are unique

the problem with trexx is long term, he could be a good short term player to try to make a run at champs but lets be honest, if Nats says something to you probably just stfu no? specially since all the other players and coaching staff have personalities and they have full trust on nats, 0 chance they let that idiot talk back to nats and both being russian might help

they are playing a different style from 2024 so its either because the team is mentally boomed or boo/coaches being retarded, maybe a combination of both given the look on their faces and lack of energy, could be due some frictions after the loss to fnatic or disagreements in how the team should play/vision/what the problems are but they just dont look like a unit and their lack of emotion tells me that they dont care anymore

doesnt make sense to kick mini to get another duelist, wo0t can only play duelist

he said on stream that he wants to play duelist but its just hard to say because it would feel like he doesnt trust mini

wo0t and riens

no (Sliggy as HEAD COACH HAHAHAHAHAHA)

COOK🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

ok, thats valid but I dont think he is directly part of the problem of why they are not performing rn, he is still doing his job more or less and they are losing because they forgot their identity/have 0 confidence, even if they recover their confidence they should still make the role changes tho, wo0t for me isnt part of their problems as to why they are losing but he is part of the problem when it comes to tensions within the team because of roles, it must not be easy for miniboo to read people wanting u cut or wo0t on duelist and it must not be easy for wo0t to feel like he is wasting himself playing on ini

so? the coaching staff should not be retards and realize they have a potential top3 duelist that can win games on his own rotting on initiator, they never hired him to play duelist because he didnt want to play duelist in tier2, according to him it was because he wanted to become a more complete player lol, you need to adapt as a coaching staff and make the neccesary changes now that you have proof that this guy is unbelievable on duelist

wo0t has a way better jett, raze and iso than miniboo, he would only need to polish neon/yoru and I have seen those from him on stream and they are at a pretty decent level already, wouldnt take much to improve him on those agents if he focused on just being a duelist and had a good coaching staff around him, even good yoru/neon usage arent that important if you arent S+ tier shooting your gun, the 10% difference in util/movement between derke or miniboo for example doesnt make enough of a difference to prefer him over derke who shoots 10 times harder

even if he learns the lineups its pointless, a player like that should not be flashing for others he should be going in first killing everyone, he is not a player that should be in passive positions and taking duels in late round

apparently he said not long ago that he wants to play duelist but doesnt want to ruin the vibes because they have miniboo already

how? should he just ruin the team vibes by forcing them to make him play duelist or get sold? he is not a flex player, he should be playing duelist or smokes at worst, miniboo/boo/Neilzinho should grow the fuck up and do whats best for the team and if miniboo doesnt accept it kick him out even if its your brother

league of legends cucks traumatized from league as if the best moba talent from west europe and specially CIS werent playing dota lol

he went to heretics and took them from a patitek who were losing to t2 spanish teams to a world finalists, then went to liquid and turned them into one of the best teams itw, maybe he knows a thing or two about how to make teams work despite criticism?

they were good last year fighting like monkeys but now they try to play more tactical valorant lul, also about fucking time you guys put your best player on duelist or omen instead of fade or we feel like wasting a whole year of these guys careers? maybe patitek was carrying these dogs all along

you are probably right but their problem rn isnt even comps its just their awful read on the meta, them not wanting to evolve and make role changes and just forgetting what makes them good, all that experimenting with roles in offseason/kickoff and they still havent arrived to the conclusion that you need an agressive and skilled omen in 2025 specially on lotus, unbelievable that they have their best player on fade and not on duelist/smokes

not his mfault they have him on fade

they have wo0t and miniboo but boo is playing smokes and wo0t could be playing duelist/smokes shining but he is on fade so two worse players get their comfort agents (one of them being the igl, the guy who is supposed to sacrifice)

u dont know spike

he knows he is playing against farmers

cant believe NA teams fumbled this guy LMFAO

the players are good but the comps and their micro can be so off sometimes, they need to do as Fnatic after the first couple games at masters and stop respecting utility so much and just run it down a bit more

Its more complex than that but I agree that Wo0t should be the duelist, I would like to see them have Boo on wo0t roles and miniboo on smokes since I am a big believer in having a smoke player capable of playmaking specially when they play omen. Also they need to stop these shit 3 1 1 defaults and CT setups and just go back to what worked for them last year which a lot of fast 5 0 or 4 1 defaults and in CT having a tendency to play retake in a site and have a +1 +2 on the other site or mid so u can fight which is what they do best, they are incredible teamfighters and have insane firepower

honestly I dont like his aiming/movement style, not a bad player as sentinel but I dont see worldclass potential in him, I would take someone like Olizera over him any day of the week

monster and specially olizera better

sponsored by some mafia russian betting company and owned by a very shady armenian, no way Riot lets them in franchise, only Spirit makes sense from CIS

brazil moment

bots vs bots

You clearly have no clue about EMEA outside the usual suspects, just look at how many rookies are showing huge potential in t1 these last 2 years, the league is nearly 80% rookies or players on their second year lol. Heretics last year full rookies except Boo, chiwa (didnt play yet but u will see), sociablee, profek, sayonara and gsr (two generational talents), westside, veqaj and proxh look promising, kamo/keiko both on their second year, hiro, avez, marteen (shit duelist but good player), monster will show his potential from KOI, Olizera, globex, zachkappa, any of the KC, KOI and Liquid academies specially Sevire, jas from EP is pretty good, kozzy, etc... I wont name more because the list is long but its a good thing that EMEA teams have been promoting t2 young talent these last 2 years and nearly all of them have performed and leveled up the league, also you cant compare kaajak, comeback, xeus, gsr or sayonara to those some of the players u named, for a start EMEA has 2 generational initiator talents like GSR and Sayonara while NA can only produce reduxx, canezerra, ion or nightz who realistically cant even compare to kaajak, xeus or comeback

SA is even worse

not bad but not that impressive compared to Asia and EMEA

Americas is cooked, I am worried for the future of that region because excluding canezerra I dont see them produce talent on the level of EMEA and Asia, its just reclying the same players and bang average players who have been mid for years in t2

sign

different styles but kaajak is just better, Derke needs to evolve into taking more responsability and being more of a star player and not just a hard entry player to truly fulfill his potential, the move was good for both teams tbf

marteen is not even close to kamo, what are you on about lol

derke, kaajak, comeback, xeus and lewn is close with kamo, kamo fifth at best imo

there are many better options for the sentinel role than serial lmfao
