Rhyme moving to smokes. Fit1nho stays as duelist, likely Chamber/Jett mainly. nukkye is titled as flex player so he likely stays playing agents like Raze, KayO, Neon whatever is needed. Hoody is titled as sentinel player, so he is likely going to switch roles and start playing agents like Viper on some maps and then maybe keep playing flasher agents on maps where they don't need proper sentinel, he is flexible and actually played Viper on Fracture for G2 sometime ago. Cloud is going to be initiator main like expected.

roles are bit confusing like you are saying, but this roster is really flexible and I don't think roles should be any issue. nukkye, hoody and Cloud have all played more than 1 role.

Same. Many are going to rate this team low and not have high expectations, but I'm a believer of this project. Like I seriously think OGLU could have done great things (esp with Salah) if they only had bit more firepower and time. They didn't get Boo(IGL) but 2 players and 2 coaches from OGLU are really nice building blocks IMO. Also Molsi finally has a duo who can peak really high and who also has more room to improve and grow in Twisten. Firepower may still become an issue, but I believe in Twisten, Molsi & ceNder trio. I think this team has the potential.

Never had any problems with win11 outside of some games freezing at start but that got fixed already. I just changed so I would get used to the new UI.

really good

Kind of agree but its still decent. Just don't like how the crowd were booing on teams like Fnatic and C9 for no reason. Like C9 eliminated Imperial(BR team), but that doesn't mean the fans should be booing for them. Just feels weird when they aren't even playing vs Brazilian team right now. Like imagine if the finals was C9 vs NaVi(have to beat last BR team) then it would just be 2 teams that whole crowd hate.

chicken usually

True. But its Thursday and its like 3PM in Brazil right now so not the most ideal for big crowds. Also there's videos of huge queues outside of the arena so not sure what is that about.

Roster looks decent, but I don't have that high expectations for it. I just think this roster is so inconsistent on paper.

Zeek is guy who can be one of the bests in EMEA to not doing much next game. Avova was considered the best controller in EMEA last year and really high up even in world standards, but has been on a slump for most of this year. He had some great performances during playoffs usually, but regular season was pretty mediocre. Keloqz's highs are high, but again he is somewhat inconsistent. I think Mixwell will be fine especially if he makes room for keloqz to shine, but isn't crazy good outside of OP IMO so remains to be seen how he does. And I'm pretty high on Boo due to his time in OGLU, but he is also changing roles so who knows.

If the system works and the players find consistency in their game this team could do something. But just right now I'm too concerned of the potential consistency issues of this team. Really hope they do well though and I like Neilzinho as coach.

He was best controller in EMEA, but his performance this year has been pretty meh for most part outside of popping off in playoffs pretty much.

im pretty sure the rumor was that KCorp had to sign/keep Shin and Newzera because of the deadline and they were not able to complete deals or something before it. So its really possible there's going to be changes. Like if they tried to get someone like Enzo its possible they couldn't just do it in time if they were low on budget or something.

yeah but it says 6.135.... but I don't know is 6'1 same as 6.1 because then another says that its 6'1.62 idk its so confusing like just use cm

about 187 cm so 6'1? Dunno about Murica numbers

This roster is going to be exciting af to follow.
Nukkye, Cloud and hoody are all proven quality players with good firepower and flexibility (Cloud really underrated and hoody underrated).
Fit1nho performed well in EMEA VCT last year and I believe he will do fine next year.
Rhyme as IGL is bit unknown at the moment, but there isn't many "real" IGLs out there and he finally has a team with good individuals so I believe he could really make it work.

Indie music W

ScreaM is amazing individually, but I think this for the better. Liquid finally gets proper IGL and nAts and Sayf who are both insane talents as well. And KCorp gets player who could legit solo carry them to some victories. Also if KCorp manages to get Enzo then I think they could actually be decently competitive (Enzo isn't that good individually, but the way he talks about the game is just really cool and smart so could shine helping ScreaM IGL).

My pickems really basic:

Fnatic vs Outsiders - Outsiders
Cloud9 vs MOUZ - Cloud9
Heroic vs Spirit - Heroic
NaVi vs Furia - NaVi

Outsiders vs Cloud9 - Cloud9
Heroic vs NaVi - NaVi

Cloud9 vs NaVi - NaVi (winner)

but tbh I think Cloud9 could start choking or something and upsets may happen looking at Legends stage, but I'm pretty comfortable with these basic picks.

Their team is t2 at best

they just won EMEA tier 2

Fut is the only team with full t2

So? Majority of current tier 1 players were tier 2 before they got signed to teams considered tier 1. There's tier 2 players who are tier 1 level and vice versa

Like I get your point about them still being unproven, but your points aren't that good

0/8

being insane (bring sane to world maybe easier, but depends what you mean like have sense yourself or "bring it to whole world"?)
agree with someone
coping with grief
listening to someone

Keyboard: Logitech G Pro (blue switches) - my old G Pro started breaking so had to buy a new one, but without realizing I bought one with blue switches, so now I just have to use these switches even tho I prefer more linear ones.

Mouse: Razer Deathadder V3 - I used Superlight, but wanted slightly bigger mouse with higher profile so decided to give DAV3 a try and its been good so far. Also the side buttons are way better than in GPX and that's good especially for games like Overwatch where I actively use melee (on side button).

Those stats are insane wtf, but I guess its expected when he carries Radiant teams with support agents lol

• insane mechanics
• good utility usage and timings, play supports so no Reyna insta lock
• not tilting and good vibes
• good comms and tries to think strats and lead etc

so overall really good set for success in ranked on any rank even if you lacked mechanical skill

FUCK rip my coin, only got 4 right and needed 5... also TL one of my favorite teams

Definitely going to be cheering for NRG in NA because FNS is based + Ardiis even though NA stealing him hurts...

EMEA teams bit slow with announcements. I wonder what they are waiting for. Maybe its just harder in EMEA because you have multiple different nationalities and making deals and re-locations etc might be more challenging compared to NA.

bad song, pretty decent video

Hard to tell. Like I remember when FPX signed Ardiis everyone was joking and memeing how they signed washed player and everyone was doubting them. But see what happened with Ardiis and FPX sometime later and something similar could happen with cNed as well. Ofc cNed is way more hyped signing, but my point is that FPX clearly has really good IGL/coach duo and super talented support players and a good system looking at their past with subs.

I think individually cNed can replace Ardiis pretty well, but for me its more about the personalities and comms etc in the team. Ardiis seemed to be pretty loud guy with strong opinions while cNed seems to be the exact opposite. Will be seen is it for the better or for the worse. And overall FPX core of 4 and d00mbros is really strong and cNed should definitely be enough for them to do great things even if he wasn't fully 1:1 on Ardiis Chamber for example.

Next year is going to be fucking crazy
Seeing teams like Fnatic, NaVi, Liquid, KOI fighting it out, while having teams like Giants, Vitality(I believe) etc being up there potentially is going to be so cool.

cNed may not be the best right now, but he had the highest peak IMO. Even right now guy like yay isn't that much better on op than 2nd or 3rd to him, but cNed on Jett oping was different beast. Also Jett playstyle required you to play op differently than Chamber holding angles and quickscoping with ulti. So I have more respect for Jett oping than Chamber oping and during pre-nerf Jett cNed was pretty clearly the best op player.

maybe because CSGO has been one of the/the most popular Steam game for years. I have 5 year coin and in a year 10 year coin while born in 2000s. But hey only boomers have that coin.

Yeah most spawns on that map are completely ass. I feel like Breeze is like only okayish DM map, but rest are just bad.

Can't do much more than just play. Let it be actual games or some aimlabs style games. I changed mouse like month ago and playing Apex Legends made me used to it because it has bunch of movement, tracking and precise aiming. Good combination to get used to new mice. Just need to use the mouse a lot and move around so games like Valorant may not be the best IMO.

Fracture and Ascent(nowadays with current spawns) in my experience are so bad for this exact reason. You just spawn and instantly get shot in the back or from 3 different directions. That's why I always try to get on Fracture A site because its like only place where you can somewhat have control on enemies.

Its fucking terrible. Like I know you shouldn't care about DM but I already get tilted before actual games because of it. First its a "competition" like you shouldn't care about it, but I can't lie that I try to win as many as possible and want to be as dominant as possible. So not finding people(happens sometimes) and dying makes me more mad than it should. Also as you said the spawns are just terrible. Constantly getting killed in the back or get shot from 3 different directions is frustrating. Like half of your owns kills are just killing people from behind. And the maps with these bad spawns just aren't suited for DM IMO. Its good practice for crosshair placement and movement, but I really wish they could make a new map for DM only.

When I play CSGO custom DM on Mirage or Dust 2 I really rarely get frustrated because they just work better. Not only is it infinite time and kills so all the false pressure of performing or being on a time limit goes away, but the maps and spawns just seem to work better. Its much more enjoyable.

fuck rip my coin
NIP 3-0(RIP), Sprout 0-3(RIP)
NaVi, Liquid, Outsiders, Heroic, Cloud 9, Faze(RIP), Vitality(RIP)
I guess I still have a chance...

yep both Acend and FPX made the announcements today so NaVi announcement is just around the corner

I have only owned Razer Greens, Logitech Romer-G and GX Blue. Liked Romer-G the most (pretty close to Red). Currently using GX Blues because bought keyboard with them accidentally when one with Romer-Gs started breaking. If I was buying one now from basics I would go for any reds and if I build own keyboard then I would go for Gateron Yellows because good value. Overall linear > clicky

match of the weak

Ancient is like Split of CSGO in terms of sides. And C9 is just good comeback team.

ofc what are the other options?

common Jamppi W

yay without OpTic core Aware

Comms so chaotic my head starts hurting. Can't imagine how pros do this all day long. Maybe its less when people actually know what to do and not just random stack.

Vitality

100% so much more intense unless its 2 shit teams and it takes forever lol

Really good crowd ngl. Really football like crowd as well. I feel like they arent reacting to the game as much but just like to sing chants etc but its still cool. Maybe I'm wrong because I don't understand Portuguese.

Paljon onnea!

Just unlucky that this season started when OW2 wasn't out yet. Only interested in playoffs and rest was boring because couldn't play tbh
