I hope they keep Xeus. His potential is still so high and we have seen that. FUT just didn't work at all and I would rather see Comeback join international team because he already got bit of experience compared to Xeus.

Multiple people have said that GiantX has always been great scrim team but never managed to perform on stage. I think they finally found their form on stage and Ara, Flickless and Grubinho have played well individually and for team and Cloud's calling has gotten better. Coaches are also cooking with these strats. Honestly I feel like they just finally found their style that suited this roster and just play their own game.

I like mixing it in protein oatmeal or quark, it very nice there and give good taste. Don't use it much outside of that.

Sunset would be banger as both are good on it and play kinda similarly and I have no doubt that PRX are confident letting it in and GiantX want to prove themselves on it.

What painkillers? If you talk about basic over the counter painkillers then they are like nothing like ibuprofen 400g, 600g whatever. You can take them for any pain or fewer etc. Just always take them with water and don't take too much and you are fine. Effect will come after like 30min+ and usually will get rid of pain pretty effectively and that's it. No effects or anything like its the most normal thing out there. If its some harder prescription painkiller then I don't know.

Fnatic wouldn't have qualified if they didn't have points. BBL, NAVI, GX > FNC

Pacific #2 losing to EMEA #6? What happened!?

China has been always weak but people like to overhype it because EDG had good period and Wolves somehow made it decently far.

because corrode is made out of paper

Because this isn't VCT EMEA? They have different crews for different stuff. VCT EMEA people work on VCT EMEA and then you have different group for these events that might include people from those regional production groups. So most of the time international events are mixture of people from all the regions. Same how it is for casters etc.

Literally very little tech pauses, production of international is always going to be somewhat ass because of different venue and production team, also other regions are just happy to be there so they are fine with random teams compared to countries/regions that have home teams. No shit you cheer for random teams when you have no team to begin with. Same how NA crowd gets hyped over some random LoL teams because their region sucks with no good home teams

You realize international event productions is like mixture of all regions?

Just off day and hopefully it just stays as one day thing. DRX played pretty well and had weird comps, but TL was doing so many fundamental mistakes you rarely see from them. How many team flashes, bad and slow decision making, weak team play etc. One of the worst TL games since long time. As long as they manage to mentally come back from yesterday they should have totally fine chances of making it out of groups. EDG and then DRX/NRG is winnable.

I mean this take makes no sense. Last years roster was struggling hard. nAts was in bad form like rest of the team. Keiko looked weak on duelist even after his insane tier 2 performance, but after switching to controller he finally started playing to his potential and rn is top tier player. Kamo was playing really well on KOI towards the end and KOI actually looked pretty good. And he plays his role well for this team. He isn't supposed to be the star. I've never been huge fan of Patitek but he is solid support player. And Trexx peak is very high even if he has been kinda off on TL so far. On top of that completely new coaching staff.

So I get your point, but you cant talk about core when its 2 players who both look very good rn (outside of yesterday) and everyone else around them has changed and they've made good additions.

0/8

GX would have rolled EDG tho

PRX carrying your region just like how G2 is carrying Americas. Last time we saw RRQ play in internationals they looked weak and would have likely lost to Sentinels. GenG aint here the only other decent Pacific team we've seen for a while.

F0rsaken is good player, but that rifle 4k was just bad from XLG. Those weren't even crazy shots. They had all the space and still ignored flank vs Omen.

Sure, but that is still free 4k. No info on Omen position and out of 4 guys no one was thinking that he could have tpd over the trip. People in ranked make this type of plays with smoking the main, well most lack the trigger discipline.

Guy tpd over trip and no one is holding it. Easiest 4k there is.

Based on this map? Good one

Yes. 60hz to 144hz is very noticeable especially when you try 60hz after playing with 144hz. BUT its not magically going to make your gameplay or mechanics betters. It helps and won't limit your potential like 60hz, but don't expect too much. But yes it is worth to upgrade as 144hz is pretty standard nowadays if even lower end hz.

Damn. From one of the bests to getting sick and having to retire (for now) because of it

Both are trash. Riot fell off in terms of songs. Heavy is the crown doesnt count as its Linkin Park and not some bozos

This is so ass. Nothing Champions like. Sounds like some pop made for 14 year olds. Even the video is pretty ass and feels like it has nothing to do with esports.

Hard to say, but its definitely going to be hard for both because PRX will very likely get 1st and then even if SEN/GX managed to beat XLG they have to face each other for second time. Very easily other can win first and then other the second game if the loser beats XLG. But I predict GX even if they are inexperienced.

I mean I don't know insides, but back when he was playing in tier 2 EMEA his toxicity was brought up multiple times. And I wouldn't be surprised if that was true since he was very good in tier 2 but never made it anywhere until he went to China. But like I said I don't know for certain.

He is rage baiting like always, but I do agree that it doesn't really fit PlatChat type podcast IMO. I get it for entertainment, but if you are rage baiting when people are talking about matches, teams and players in analytical ish way its just feels annoying. Like "this team is going to win and I rated their players top 5 in the world because some dumb made up story about magic and unicorns".

Yes and that's part of my point. No one picked Kristal so very likely no team saw him as worth picking. And vo0kashu was very good in tier 2 but to my memory he was known as very toxic so no one wanted him.

Or maybe:
teams don't think they are good enough or willing to take risk with (like kristal), they have bad reputation due to toxicity etc (like vo0kashu IIRC), they live far away from Europe (like something, Rarga?, Jemkin? etc).

EMEA is full of talent so why would they focus on some players who haven't even played in Europe or top of other regions. Most of the players you mention are closer to APAC than EMEA.

Maybe but its not for certain like how some people think. GX is inexperienced and XLG I don't know, but its not like it would be massive upset if SEN got grouped. Every event they have looked completely beatable and not super convincing.

Not wrong. Also this whole pizza debate is so dumb. There are very very few toppings that can make pizza bad. Pineapple is not going to turn decent pizza into shit. You could throw on almost anything and it would be fine. Its just one of these classic Italian raging about food rules while in reality having no clue what they are talking about with their superiority complex

SEN is the most overrated team every event. They have not done anything convincing in long time and many still rate them high from event to event. Every event they are about to get eliminated early but get lucky by either hero rounds from individuals or opponents throwing rounds. And the moment opponents play solid Sentinels lose.

Yep. And its unbelievable because SteelSeries is big brand and they used to have these features. They just removed them for some reason. Its not like keyboard is super old either. But honestly all of these keyboard/mouse/headset software are dogshit. They force you to use them to make changes, but leave these underdeveloped.

SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL
its good keyboard, but SteelSeries GG app is so dogshit and they just keep making it worse. Before I could make it so my CAPS lock lights up when its activated and there's indicator on the small screen thing, but they removed that for some reason making it impossible to know if CAPS is on or off without typing. Absolute dogshit.

That's insane. I kinda get it because KOI has been shit and very little hype or anything lately, but still pretty insane how Riot just goes "you are out" just like that.

oh i didnt mean player something just meant someone else

I don't think they have to do much more than just replace ANGE1 with some IGL like Iluri. I think Alexiik was playing fine but they could try to get Comeback or something even if I don't think he would fit this team that much. And maybe replace Shao because idk I feel like he had some good games but has been pretty off for most.

Why black though? I get that some people prefer them, but could regret it later because it isn't as versatile and can look bit tacky. But out of the ones I would likely go with the Casio. Im not sure of the black + blue colors, but at least I saw a cool combo of that watch with brown nato strap and it looked very nice. Seiko looks nice but not in black IMO. And I couldn't open the Citizen one, but from Google it looks ok and has more of tactical look that fits all black, but can be hard to read and looks bit cheap somehow.

absolute trash

I like leather jackets, but leather long coats just never clicked on me outside of some historical outfits. Most of the time they also smell like ass because fake or cheap leather.

tuff but leather coat aint it

Apeks should have gotten him over Batujnax

Felt the same, but Fnatic's and Heretic's current form and map pools are pretty bad. Obviously both rosters have very high ceiling so who knows.

Not sure, but if they continue in this form they could. Just depends can they keep it up. They rolled BBL and NAVI(map 2&3). 2-0'd Fnatic and had overtime 3rd map vs Liquid.

You think N word doesn't exist in other countries? Many many countries have their equivalent word that in English translates to the one you talk about. Here for example it used to be the word that described African(black) people in common language. Very similar word to English one as well because all the versions come from same origin.

I would kind of want both BBL and NAVI qualify. Like Heretics have higher peak for sure, but I don't want them to repeat Toronto. NAVI is just enjoyable team to watch for some reason. Actually think that both BBL and NAVI have similar vibes right now like they feel like buddies playing and having fun. Seem like good team environments. Also Ruxic and Hiro duo is so fun to watch right now and absolutely killing it + ANGE1's calling has been good.
