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

you guys have net, who has been awful stat wise for a while now. his value doesn't come from his stats, but from his ability to anchor and lurk

was anticipating this cope post more than the match tbh

ik its prob already been said by someone, but afaik pancada is away rn, idk if hes still feeling unwell or not. zellsis is playing in scrims like he has been while he's been out

talon for pacific, even before lock//in i thought that had a really solid core. of course they did well at lock//in but after that they fell apart.

liquid for emea, because who didn't think that they would be the best team in the region

americas i was pretty accurate except for furia who i thought would be amazing

ban (while he was still in na)
xeppaa
reduxx
mazino

like back in ch 1, no? haven't heard about them in a long time

ik liazzi is actually really good, so prob gonna chalk it up to the fact that furia are stupid and put him on smokes. when i watched him in t2 he looked really good

i took a double take when reading the title initially lol

and not just that. if i have ethan on my team who is more of a veteran presence, im picking a younger igl like boostio. if i have a more tenured igl like boaster, im picking someone like leo who is more tenured than boostio but not ethan

bro at this point you should've just gone back to the sentinels flair

100bots unless they get boostio, in that case they actually will be the best

gamr is a clown on any acc

It’s just FUT but worse tbh, prob win ascension anyway

He’s very knowledgeable at being the most honest EMEA fan

A flair change to gentle mates, only for Madrid (until Navi win it, of course)

Fire FUT Flux Esports

This post is all over the place but gave me a good laugh . Quiet would definitely be a cool team name, never know if LOUD will pull a M3C

Ik im super late, but I just saw elmapuddy to FNC and wanted to give my quick thoughts:

1. It’s not fair to judge his results with Gen.G in Korea because there was a language barrier. Not an excuse one like LOUD with FroD, but an actual one that resulted in Bail doing most of the coaching.

2. Elma has a good track record as an analyst in CS, and strategically teams he has worked for have been sound, as long as the player quality was there. He has that quality, perhaps even better with Fnatic, so that will help.

3. Allat

Victor or jinggg

Expected relyks to cook but instead he just burned the whole kitchen down

Pretty sure flashback is just a sub, and both he and foxy aren’t gonna play in the first split. That being said, termi’s vetoes are definitely an issue. His coaching besides that is ok

When was triple controller ever mainstream? FUT, LOUD, and a few other t2 teams messed around with it but I don’t recall it being widely played (genuinely, if it was it prob was before I started following the scene. Just curious:)
