i don’t think prep matters given how bad emea has been for two years

we knew mibr was bad coming into the event, everyone had them going out

th going out now is shocking and indicative of the level of emea as a whole

not the same

feels better than winning a trophy

Good to know EMEA has given up on competing for trophies, at least you admit to being trash

please continue crying over me changing flairs though, it’s fun watching emea fans cope after being shamed this hard

btw gen.g flair is specifically for toronto only bc my best friend & i watch their games, you just bandwagon off any emea team you think are decent

secret has a tight leash on invy

two opposite sides, in the end united through being mid

congratulations on your “best americas 3rd seed” trophy, that’s really the only thing you can and will continue to boast because you have officially become the worst region in the world

i mean cmon how do you get surpassed by china

EMEA is the only region that has a chance to have only one team in playoffs, you don’t have a place at all

your 2nd seed lost to china 3rd seed brother

fun fact: in exactly two weeks from now, it will have been two years since emea has won a trophy

the greatest double agent of all time

i change back after toronto

We don't talk about it.

Keep walking into us and dying 😭

flair

“biggest event of the year” 💔

every time heretics have made a lan they have placed either second or dead last

so if they win a series in champs then they’re making a run

they were stopped ever since aspas wasn’t winning anymore

“the best duelist itw” changes from event to event, considering performance amongst the best is what makes people the best. players like jemkin, kaajak, t3xture etc are all better than aspas presently because they’ve played better against better duelists

aspas is greater than every duelist but not better

when aspas baits, his team wins

when verno baits, his team loses

noticing

internet explorer

Team plays better when he baits

if he was baiting he would’ve won the series

the last time he didn’t have a positive rated event was in champs 22, and even then it was a 0.99

this is 100% a one-off event

cloudberry hop off the alt

what forsaken will do to nats will be talked about in the history books

g2 fnc i agree

i think xlg will be exposed

ah yes, the very well regarded international demons cortezia and verno

It’s funny though

i’ll give you that one since technically you’re right, but it’s really just the same team

if optic is considered a superteam, so would envy, which wasn’t a superteam (no team was at the time)

either way, point still stands for other teams like eg and gen

again, hindsight

we could consider optic
22/eg 23/ gen 24 super teams because of how good they performed in their respective seasons but all of their players were highly unproven before that point

if teams are made including those kinds of cores alongside internationally recognized talent, THAT is a superteam

the only real “superteams,” which are rosters built with pieces of recognized international talent, are fnc 2023 (which worked) and nrg 2024 (which didn’t work). i will also add vit 2025 though id argue it isn’t, but i think it’s close

no iteration of loud was ever a superteam because they all contained a lot of unproven rookies to the scene

hindsight harry, before 2022 no one knew who loud was

only 2 players of that squad were internationally relevant

none of these teams would've gotten a series

aspas gets near similar placements without a superteam (loud 22 wasn't a superteam)

champs 24: 1.14 (11th, highest on his team)
shanghai: 238 CS (6th), 1.17 k/d (4th), 0.21 fkpr (3rd)
champs 23: 1.15 (8th, highest on his team)
tokyo: 1.11 (10th, highest on his team)
reykjavik 22: 1.18 (4th, highest on his team)

even in his "shit" tournaments, he's only ever had one outside of this one where we went negative (0.99)

tbh i consider that both consistent and top tier

admitted derke is a superteam merchant

team how do you fucking go 0-4 and lose to wolves of all teams

bro is not coming back sadly

how is he a fraud

this is his only bad tournament

how good is sevire

Who cares abt that, aspas is the goat because he's been the most consistently good

this is the only point in his career where anyone can say he played bad

Yeah but he's always been good

This was a one-off

to be fair aspas has literally never done well in the second lan of the event but always turns up for the third

by champs we'll have forgotten about this event when he starts doing good again

real

recency bias is crazy

He needs to go back to that, that's how his teams become the best in americas

Chose money over long term success </3 not my goat
needs to let go of s0yf igl quickly before it's too late

3/4
TH is shit

if derke so great, why he didn't go toronto?

verno 100% punched someone and it left a mark so mibr don't wanna show that

0-4 actually

bro got farmed by the french and he hasn't even reached zywoo yet
