Usually, when on org decides to pick up a 17yo from a T2/3 domain, they should intend to develop him to be a star player. But that was not what TSM intended for bang, they brought him in expecting a star player effect. Surprise surprise, it didn't pan out. So what is the conclusion here? TSM sucks.

Although I wouldnt say they screw with his career. Now that Bang had some T1 exp, orgs will look at him. He also shows up in his duelist role as well as Sage. I can see saner orgs picking him up to develop him to be a tier 1 player.

TSM JcStani? He's a smoke. He can IGL well (not really willingly but he's teamless rn). He's a free agent.

they'll be out of LCQ for real if they cut hazed, even if Sen wins Berlin. Something about circuit point and original roster.

Also Sinatraa's a Sova main. They already have a Sova main. Just ABC.

Levi and Sinatraa's role overlap so I doubt

F

Sounds cool but I have a feeling that it is SoloQ hell

They did say that every map will have a gimmick, at the beginning of the game

T1 has a T1 roster but together they're T2

honestly any Berlin qualifier match would do, Envy - Sen is kinda uh odd, 100T- XSET's pretty good, NV - XSET's first map was intense

Wardle

NA LCQ is confirmed LAN

Boomer (Hiko)

So basically TE+GE+VLT

someone skipped geo class

meh

100T hired sport psychologists just to keep Asuna's belief in that

In iceland, there were 2 S Tier level teams: Sentinels and Fnatic. Sentinels was better. Liquid was on a hot streak regionally and Version1 was playing in the smartest way possible to go that far considering their calibre.

Now, Fnatic has dropped off S Tier due to them outplaying themselves. Sentinels remains. 'EU best teams' have pulled themselves together and so does the other NA best (outside of SEN I mean).

I don't see anything to argue about here. This is just great for us as viewers who want good games.

fiance buff hooray

incognito tab?

arent you a little too thirsty

they have at least an extra day to prep, but honestly all for the better to avoid intentional throwing
the schedule is at the end of this page if u want to refer to more info

After the conclusion of the fourth day of matches, a random draw will seed the Knockout Stage. The four teams who will have advanced out of their group in 1st place will be randomly assigned a yet-to-be-determined 2nd place team from a different group.

what he meant is that in an alternate universe where SMB lost, there's a chance that EMEA 2 and 3 wouldnt be seeded into the same group

yaaa except that it's randomized

here's the negative thing
Acend vs SMB, i just watched this match last week and it's gonna happen again on an intl lan instead of other never seen b4 matchups

cuz we want not-boring playoff stage?

U got me gg

no man, he's in Sick's chat theorizing that Riot's doing this intentionally for people from smaller regions to be invested in this game by letting some of em going to the playoff

VK? What timeline are you living in?

edit my bad me dumb me thought VK is Vikings

Can we take a moment and pray for Paper Rex, they tried so hard just to fall into the death group.

SMB and Acend, it's gonna be an upset otherwise

Both Zeta and KRU are pool 1 no?

there are 2 teams from a group into the playoff, and they have better chance against G2 than either SMB or ACE

mexican standoff, VS couldve threw their final and get a better situation

from the look of it, anyone who won the regional playoff are seed 1, no matter the region

they really didnt give a shit about regional ranking last master...

Zeta and Kru but still

so seeding doesnt mean shit... good to know

whatttt da heck

Oh no don't get me wrong, he plays really well, especially for someone who just started playing Astra in matches. But his Astra is not the best NA has to offer, or at least not yet.

Marved and Zombs are better Astra though...

dont forget deathmatch stat, that got me rolling

Patiently waiting for Chainsaw Man, Blue Period and JujuKai the Movie

Sinatraa's probably the most skilled inactive, JcStani, that Rara dude from Dignitas, mummAy, thief

TSM but the Academy roster

Also, not being toxic online is just being a decent, mature human being.
