Saint Louis chess club is good for theory if you are planning on learning theory, play the game online and do puzzles

I disagree, getting a feel for the game is more important at a low level people won't play into theory anyways and you get out of book too quickly. Play games online with the ideas of getting your pieces out castling and taking the middle of the board with pawns. At a low level you can try to see if your opponent is hanging any pieces, you can try your best not to as well, this will take you a fair bit

Been taking the ange1 lessons

In a reality where fnatics bombs out and heretics katmine corp and navi make it to champs. I can see sayf exploring opportunities beyond vitality, especially if vit don't make champs. Cloud is in a team which looks terrible with redgar at the helm and might want to jump ship. Navi probably won't change I agree with that

Sayf, cloud and maybe navi players if fnatic truely fall off. They're hard to get though, cracked tier 2 talent maybe

5 of those player either are in tier 2 or not on duelist role, and the other 3 are fantastic players. You chose to ignore both jingg and zekken, truely one of the comparisons of all time

They getting top 4 in Madrid means nothing when you consider they only beat fpx snd edg

🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Eg is like that solidjj video of batman with preptime can do anything. You don't always have prep time and even when you do you sometimes just get skill diffed ... source? The last EG vs Loud game, they may get better though with good coaching from Potter so still possible

Was probably because EMEA had so many tech pauses last year they thought it was safer lol
Edit: Also gives more room for people to watch china if they want

Loud will make it to shanghai, as well as sen and nrg. Who are replacing loud here?

Apoth, the man was whiffing all over the place during kickoff. I know the point of Eg squad is talent development but still

More importantly they have a co-ordination issue, taking way too many 1v1s

They were last year

3rd in EMEA? More like 3rd in group A 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 easy Fut win

Britain colonises the world then vlr colonises the British, truely the worst karma

I mean I personally wouldn't want to be called they/them as I am not multiple people but can see why others may want to be

I mean they haven't lost yet

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is great Britain technically as Ireland includes Northern Ireland. 🤓 you meant the UK is all the British Isles except the Republic of Ireland then also British overseas territories🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

Come on ingerland, makes up 90% of uk population. Uuuuuwwaaaaaaaaaayyty

Get some imposing mf as coach to tell asuna to stop yapping so hard

The NA tier 1 orgs of c9 and EG are so terrible that some pros want to stay with teammates in tier 2. People talk so much of NA tier 2 but the tier 1 orgs don't pick them up because they arguably don't deserve franchising. Free Potter, remove c9 and Eg

Gotta be navi, they looked good at kickoff and can try to prove to be emea top again. I generally support prx who are from another region. Americas go Kru Messi messsi Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi messi

Koi looked bad at kickoff but thye hadn't had much practice cause their org trolled. Team liquid looked bad cause Lulquid, koi wins

I can imagine Chinese teams playing clove, lots of Chinese teams are cooking on a bonfire, they have a higher chance of burning though

I'm happy some sen fans acknowledge that marved was a shit igl, many were huffing the copium that marved was actually good at igling... somehow

One thing to think about is that this team without johnqt, with +pancada - zellsis was mid last year and with Johnqt the team is great. 100T have made a clear upgrade, so 100T has to be the favourites going up against a Sen without their igl. If 100T lose 💀💀💀 it's jover for them

I have belief in him, I don't think he'll win champs but he'll definitely be a good pacific player

Waaaa waaaa waaa I don't get my free content waaaaaa, where is my free content waaaaaa

They don't? The other controllers have decent pickrates in ranked and proplay. Non rechargeable utility is fine astra and brim aren't in a bad state. Brim has a good ranked win rate, astra maybe wants her suck reverted. Also omen is better on attack side and astra is a better defender.

Bro must be a viper main, viper needs to have her ceiling lowered cause viper is oppressive at proplay and ok in ranked

You can only choke so many times until you either stop breathing or coughing it up and swallow the victory

Boring, at least have a singular hot take, choose a single team to make it who weren't in playoffs of kickoff

Prx were worse at the start of 2023 than 2022 as well, trust the process

They're not playing that well together, they are more winning by having great player quality over great ideas. Everyone at Madrid has good player quality so they aren't winning as much

I thought you were talking about that happened today. It happened live and looked like it could have been rigged

They had separate boxes for each teams and two people, who we have no clue if they know already what's in the boxes, chose from each box. If someone told them which team is in each box and which match ups to give, it could easily have been rigged

Separate boxes? Has to be rigged

It is actually criminal if they're gonna do it do it properly, they just want SEN vs KC for the views

THE MATCHES ARE RIGGED

Next era is viper getting nerfed

Nah prx wins trust, this is completely non-biased take of course

The based option
