He did well (on already succesful team), but my point is that before these both Patitek and Hiro were just tier 2 players that didn't stand out in any crazy way. They were good tier 2 players, but not like "lets build a champions roster" type of players. Now some people rate them like top tier 1 players because they managed to do well on already good rosters. Could have been any of the multiple talented and promising tier 2 players and they could have done as well. And final point about Patitek is that I think there's better options with more room to develop.

Patitek is good but overrated
kind of same with hiro even tho I rate him higher.
just two tier 2 players that got "promoted" into good tier 1 teams and ended up performing to decent level. There's shit ton of similar players in tier 2 who just didn't get the chance because they were already signed to orgs.

Don't know numbers, but personal top 5 (not in order)
Valorant
Counter Strike 2
League of Legends
Rocket League
Overwatch

Click on GX would be really interesting and exciting. GiantX could be a team to look for next season.

military is dogshit when you are in there, but there's a good chance you will look back and miss it a bit. Ofc Korean service is longer than here, but it can be pretty cool experience.

He is just pulling Keikos. Same happened with him. Insane online, but playing bad in finals.

there should be 0 imports rule

I think Pcific will win, but cheering for Apeks because 3 from Pcific can't play and I don't want 3rd full Turkish team.

who

Kinda unfair comparison though. G2 was the core of The Guard and then they added Leaf once they got into VCT. The Guard had their ups and downs, but they were tier 1 level.

thanks it was hard work and dedication but we finally made it

Truthear Hexa. Tbf my first IEMs, but great value and I easily prefer these over my Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros. Great overall, but apparently really neutral sound so maybe not the most exciting for music etc, but still really good.

nice

Redgar just isn't good enough anymore. He was already showing decline during later M3C days. Weak individually and like I said his calling already looked weak on M3C.

likely especially because he is likely under contract so GX might not be able to compete for buyout, but sometimes players believe in projects rather than blindly follow money even if its for supposed superteam or good team on paper. Like I don't know what happened, but Heretics got w0ot and Riens even tho many teams were fighting for them according to rumors.

Cloud, westside, purp0, Profek, kajaak(or some Turkish)

I've always used Unibet

Good that M8 are going international.

much better to have team that can keep 2 of their players and lose their 3 best player and have 3rd full Turkish team who would likely end up like BBL 2.0 even with all the Turkish talent

why are apeks leaving

French are usually toxic or give up after 1 lost round. Also usually pretty bad, so much complaining but play like trash. Not always tho

Reason why I don't really want to see them win it. IGL, Phoenix OTP, arguably weakest individual on the team is a recipe for a disaster

should replace eMIL

Boo is my IGL

you realize that was a joke right?

He is good, but too young for VCT

Soulcas' peak are high and he even had some standout games while playing on Team Liquid. His mechanical skill is actually good, but he rarely plays to his true potential. I don't know is it confidence issue or what.

damn I wanted this team to make it, but I guess its gg

Suygetsu is really good and insane peaks, but tbf he hasn't been performing that well this year. And I don't know how he is in and out of game, but I would assume (JUST SPECULATION) that he doesn't bring as much as someone like benjyfishy outside of just pure skill in-game. So if he doesn't perform in-game and you want to rebuild then I guess its understandable to potentially replace him.

I don't think they will unless BBL wants to try their IGL. I could see Comeback, Lar0k or Loita making it, but they can't because they are underage. I don't really think any team is going for Rose or Celasun, especially if they are not really comfortable with English.

This is why I hope GoNext win. PCFIC without Comeback, Loita and Lar0k ain't it.

Famsii or Polvi over Bonecold, just need to learn new role
but lowkey if these players are in form this could be good team and place high in Europe

Spanish VRL really fumbled. Was sure KPI would be here and look strong, and now Barca got eliminated as first team(thery had close games at least).

I don't have any, but at times I've really wanted to get some and then again not wanting and preferring clear skin. I've often thought about something StarWars related because that's been my thing since being a kid. Latest idea in my head was something related to birds and vines/branches/roots or maybe mixing vines and chains kind of like nature and industrial clashing with like colorful bird or something. Sometimes its just fun to think tattoo ideas.

Keiko - duelist
nAts - sentinel
Profek - controller
RobbieBK - Initiator/IGL
kamyk - flex

thanks for reading

How? Nothing against Polvi and Russ and I hope best for them, but both of them were playing in tier 2 and looked pretty average. Polvi had good moments, but was overshadowed by multiple EMEA tier 2 duelists. Hope Polvi finds good tier 2 team this time around though, because hes been bit unlucky.

More Finnish than Demon1 is American

how is he top 5 coach in the world?

True. Must be some seasoning, but its overrated. Put bit of salt, pepper, paprika and maybe some chili/chicken mix(if chicken) just randomly throwing bit of each and its good enough.

Asc 3 I think, but I suck
getting carried though

Derke is repping Finnish flag and Shao/Suygetsu no flag

Miniboo is hard entry duelist. Guy like Aspas has his team to play around him. Miniboo plays for rest of the team.

Heretics aren't a fluke in any way. And Acend weren't either. Acend were top 3 EMEA team and at times the best EMEA team for most of 2021. They fell off quick after Champions so fair enough in that sense, but 2021 was overall a good year for them even outside of Champions. Won Masters 1 EMEA and looked arguably better than Gambit before the EMEA seeding games for Masters 3.

Acend were top 3 EMEA team most of the year. Masters 2 regionals they got eliminated in single elimination bracket (SEN lost a game in Americas as well btw) and after that managed to qualify for Masters 3 while looking like arguably the best EMEA team regionally before seeding games.

Calling either one fluke is just dumb af

I mean I get why some people like it, but its become such norm in esport (especially Riot) that its tiring. Feels like every Valorant or League themed song is some generic k-pop. Legit 0 hype or recognition.

k-pop is total garbage but guess it suits for event in Korea

Months ago. Its overrated. Few times a year is fine.

hmm

did you afk ascent as raze?

Americas and Pacific really thought
