i would say secret and global are winnable, but rrq and gen g are prob better by a significant margin

i don't think tex is playing poorly, i think you are thinking 100t are more shit than they actually are. bind was a disasterclass by 100t when it came to shooting back, otherwise they are 100% better than lcq 100t

not gonna try to convince a professional glazer but SEN has a better chance than LEV to qualify at this point and NRG have to beat a team of a higher caliber before people take them seriously. u can go on all u want but until that happens very few people will believe NRG won't crumble too

nothing against 100t fans on this site but why tf is it always 100t games where the crowd is blatantly calling out stuff? maybe im just super unaware but im pretty sure that doesnt happen when other teams play

under this new system of goked and itopata, kingg can actually focus on calling instead of fragging. lev's overall gameplan just looks better than last year ngl

why no vod for sonofcar

The beginning of Chipi Chapa….

It’s probably some shit with riot’s player contract rules or buyouts, there’s no way either party would stall for this long

I did, edited the comment

Ty, bros 9/28 performance was truly inspirational

The Maryville game was pretty damn impressive tho

Who is bro 💀

c9 has more experience in regards to roles and whatnot. at least for the qual game, c9 takes it

Ranked is different from pro play, but I’m all for foxy9 senti. I think he’s in the same boat as players like cryo who are crazy aimers but not aggressive enough to play duelist

If Kickoff is anything like lock in, BBL are gonna give good teams a harder time than expected. Looking at their roster, which is better than last year, they unironically could make it out of this group.

Navi 2-0 here, but by doing so start BBL revenge arc

Sorry 100T, looks like rito was out to get you this time

ok so someone at riot forgot how to count

koi or th. depends on what koi roster actually is

no way its actually yessirsski alt right. i feel like there wouldn't even be a point in him making one considering how he shitposts on his main already

all jokes aside, i agree with navi, fnc, and fut being clear contenders at tournaments. vitality need to play with trexx before they can be considered contenders, since its a pretty young team. GiantX and TL are super unlikely just because of the previously listed teams and the fact that TL didn't look great during AfreecaTV. GiantX will probably be middle of the pack. since its a decent roster.

another day another awful yessirskiiii cope

#behindthecurve

pretty sure he's the guy who won the choose an analyst competition that chet announced a while back

u good poge?

he'll still have good and bad maps, but im assuming the maps where he isn't played sova/breach will be played instead, and kay/o is in a good spot meta-wise. fade still in the gutter unfortunately. initaitor list prediction would be something like this (imo):

1. breach
2. gekko
3. sova
4. kay/o
5. skye
6. fade

ethan's probably the obvious toss up, but i honestly think he'll be alright. munchkin and berLIN are my picks to surprise, new Gen G didn't look awful with no prac and as long as FPX don't overcook they will be really good for qualifying to events

im pretty sure julia and evv played together in the flyquest cup, so she's not entirely new. its probably in accidental caps on vlr which made a new profile

Zander isn’t in contract jail afaik, he just wants to stay with M80. So yeah unless m80 partners with EG (which no org wants to do) they can’t get any of those players

You’re forgetting Zeta at Reykjavik. Especially that DRX game

Real clout team:

Botssi
Forsaken (Optic)
Niesow
TenZ
Y0y

The real make or break is if c0m can play Skye or not

Why is havoc here instead of victor

Also forsaken is at least #2

For those wondering who this guy is and why he’s verified, here’s your answer: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCUk_TZvUi_1Ykck2qwPWzUQ

Ig he knows a mod or something along those lines

japan wants DFM to be a japanese roster, and considering how CR and DFM have essentially combined, its understandable. Only issue is there just isn't enough talent in t2 japan that's easy to get. plus they need at least one japanese player, rrq had the same issue at the start of franchising

decent player, but realistically this team isn't going anywhere. they should just keep woot and riens after this year and rebuild around them. sadly don't think any expectations will be subverted with TH

LOUD should honestly be a known quantity... one that will perform to the level they should. Any project with saadhak alone will be good, its just how valuable he is as an igl. helps that less and cauanzin are crazy too

current vit has at the very least a higher ceiling than the last roster

that being said, the staff overseeing the GE project are a problem. its obvious that they went for budget this year, but its more about how they couldn't do anything with an overall decent roster last year

skrossi would use botssi power and riot said that it was too strong for the other teams so they needed to be nerfed

its roster change tier list, but g2 S is still kind of crazy since they just arguably side graded. Plus 100T are not getting saved by just adding Boostio, there is a serious structural problem in that team that only sean gares seemed to be able to fix

no way people are still falling for this guy's baits. his entire gimmick is just changing flag + flair

i mean at least they won't lose to four duelists

only igl or flex players. alexis is the most vocal besides mel on SR anyway

though im pretty sure usually igls are the ones interviewed, and one or two questions might go to other players

i mean its not like emea doesnt have or two teams like that right

bro typed it so quickly. prefire is crazy

since its an open qualifier and teams aren't gonna exploit a ton of stuff, ill just keep it brief + try to say stuff that hasn't already been said:

• the sunset comp can work, but if as a team you are able to run more proven stuff(double smokes, chamber, etc) it may give u an edge on that map that other teams don't have. the sunset u played vs aurora (and this is just me going off of what ik, cause there's no vod) was lost due to your comp not being able to counter the dive, specifically phoenix. more map control with a comp like viper-omen-fade-chamber-raze can really hurt the phoenix's space-creation.

• other than that, make sure that you are playing to a comp's strengths, but not every round. feel free to sometimes push the strats a tiny bit outside the box (i.e. doing full fakes with harbor/viper on breeze). your individual performances don't matter as long as you have cohesive teamplay and synergy

-forgot to add that if u aren't super comfortable on kay/o, try fade if u are more comfortable on her. default is good, but comfort is most optimal

tbh these comps are great except for the fact that nrg aren't prob getting demon1 and ethan. i dont know how well an ethan-marved co-igl roster would go anyway

i would love to see mazino back on his best role because then him and nzr could be like victor and crashies on optic, but i doubt tex could really do the switch to smokes as well as mazino. even switching to sentinel has hurt his performance slightly, and smokes would be an even bigger shift.

i would say they look the same if not even better than they were at the start of the season last year. i had doubts in the coaching staff mostly but so far it looks like goked and itopata really enforced better protocols and strats. kingg's igling seemed better because of it, although that might just be because they actually have a flexible stratbook now

he was a top tier initiator on KRU, but since joining LEV has switched to smokes. his harbor was pretty impressive during league play but other than that nothing crazy (basically the entire team besides kingg) nzr on the other hand has been insane for the entirety of the time he was on furia

or he's just gamr. same thing

so neither is dapr, because his performance is the same, if not better than net's performance
