i think he’s forever cursed to hate china cuz of what he said in that 2023 interview. This is why Potter is my goat

Man EDG have leveled up so drastically, SEN def fucked up on Lotus not winning that map but also EDG haven’t lost it this champs. Honestly really hype for the team and hope EDG can at least make grands, i’m sure SEN can pull back in lowers but it’ll be hard especially going against FNC haven. Hope next game is as much of a banger (Leviatan will win 2-1)

I think it will be incredibly difficult for EDG to win, but Lev definitely can if they’re online. SEN haven’t dropped a map since they dropped the Deadlock comps, and with them debuting Neon teams will have no clue what they’ll select

cuz the billionaire funding them didn’t actually care and probably realized he was just losing money and chose to pull out and cut his losses cuz he didn’t actually care about esports, just about making money and teams.

to be fair TGRD is equally to blame for droppping them after a successful year for no reason other than billionaire got bored

tbf that shouldn’t have been the case they were run by a fucking billionaire Kroenicke was just a moron

sometimes it’s just not their game, FNC played way better and i just am sad it wasn’t a closer game, I wanted map 3 but massive props to Chronicle and Derke (also idk why G2 chose to ban abyss and not haven when they’ve been pretty mediocre at it and i honestly think they would’ve had a better shot at Abyss)

I think Icy has really proved himself but if they get N4RRATE idk any team that could beat them

and then had a massive crumble, and lost their star duelist in Sayaplayer. I mean a lot of people lost hope for them after their inability to qualify to Champs 2022 over 100T

tbf ur regions top team is also comprised of T2 players from last year so all the regions are T2 (even DRX).

100%. If the OXG members and DZ members don’t get picked up there’s something fucked with NA orgs (Verno and Skuba NEED to be in T1

bro i was giving props to ur team no need to be an arse abt it

oh for sure, but that shouldn’t detract from their progress this year becoming a top 3 NA team and at points the best in Americas. Like i’m sure M80 will do similar things next year, but it clearly shows the NA T2 system has incredible talent and riot should pay way more attention to it (i mean even N4RRATE, Rossy, and Governor were T2 NA last year and both made internationals)

for sure, i was gonna be happy if they were like top 5 but doing this good is insane first year of franchising especially with icy who has been a relatively quiet player

Yeah but still, I mean JohnQT and Valyn are seen as two of the best IGLS in the game and they were both in T2 last year, and tgrd were not top 2 NA last year they evolved drastically, he’ll most people didn’t even expect them to ascend cuz M80 looked unbeatable

huge props to FNC tho they look rly good :)

from the fact G2 were in fucking Tier 2 last year. Their first year in tier one they make top 3 Masters and top 8 Champs. Absolutely unheard of and i’m super proud of this team for showing how good tier 2 is. I mean the entirety of TGRD made champs this year think about it, just imagine what would happen if Riot gave two shits about Tier 2 and invested, teams like G2 would become the norm. (I am sad they went out like that though, they fucked my pickens up bad lmao)

They have been smoked by EDG consistently, if they win this then i think they could be a contender for the trophy but i doubt they will (which is sad cuz i think they could beat literally any other team). Also this is the most abhorrent draw i’ve ever seen actually mind boggling

i mean he’s kinda like Keloqz imo a super aggro duelist that either fiends or feeds.

If frost has 1,000,000 haters I am one of them. If FroST has 100 haters I am one of them. If he has 10 haters I am one of them. If he has no haters I am dead. Dude is such a shit coach

I mean it doesn’t mean we can’t be upset or stop supporting him, he def did that shit with that PR ass answer. Sucks for Aspas and the rest of the team…

Hoping they pick up FS players if they don’t qualify through ascension.

that is a HORRENDOUS response omg… no answers to the allegations just general blanket statements. Such a shame. Love Leviatan as a team but can’t rly support them much anymore :/. LETSGO Vitality!!!

bestie i am not repeating what he said (the f slur like 20 times and keeping ourselves safe)

I’m so happy all regions are doing so well equally, even with interegional hate on the site i’m so glad all regions are showing up. Best champs yet, my hope is that it stays 2/2 for qualifications

Generational british crumble, mf forgot to grab his crumpets before dishing out the slurs

welcome to vlr it won’t ever atop

so has EMEA were all frauds in the face of APAC and China

I’m so glad i stayed up countless nights watching VCT CN it’s been so awesome seeing these teams evolve. Imo i think if JDG were here instead of Bilibili they could’ve beat FNC

Mazino went radio silent man… dude was the goat in playoffs

talon will 2-0 vitality

G2 SHOULD be fine with their fundamentals but EDG are cooking so it could be close

yeah LEV kinda picked into their best maps ngl, Ascent and Bind they look unstoppable on. I think with time Chinas map pool will expand though and once it does they can dominate

Dude China has leveled up so fast i wouldn’t be shocked if they lift a trophy next year. Trace so far look like the best team out of the ones we have seen, LEV also crumbled under pressure again but hopefully they can bounce back. It’s looking a lot like Shanghai right now tbh. I hope G2 win though so we have every region going 3/3 rn

Valyn exists

I’m honestly hoping they make it out of groups now man i stg if they face Gen.G and heretics AGAIN and only lose to them the team is fucking cursed. The only reason i wanted TH to lose this was so FPX could get their revenge and now they have to face two trophy winners back to back. Feels bad man.

i’ve been a TGRD fan since their inception (even with psalm) so that’s why i support G2

I mean tbf i think it’s a solid chance TE should’ve beat FPX. They were playing their first Bo5 ever in T1 and got reverse swept.

LEV look like they are a completely different team than shanghai, i wouldn’t be surprised if they win this whole event.

yall mfs acting like Americas is dogshit as if they haven’t been up against the top 2 seeds from the best region itw rn. Plus this isn’t even LEV & G2. Same goes for rating TH so high

every other squad has played their top seeds. 4th and 3rd seeds played G2 and LEV are miles ahead

just sign Verno + Skuba

DSG made ascension therefore ludwig was cursed to fall, only one streamer led team may succeed at one time

i mean it’s not impossible but M80 in the upper finals looked locked tf in and i can’t see Tsm beating them in their current form.

Most likely locks M80 for T1 unless RETA go nuclear, and the other players can now get poached. Verno, v1c, skuba, mada, sym, mitch, add3r, anyone really from the top few teams should probably be seen in T1 next year (C9/NRG/EG)

you could tell they saw the win on ascent and just crumbled. so disappointing i’ll be honest idk if moist reinvest in T2 next year. Two losses one away from ascension is bars for pulling out. Hope they don’t but i can understand why. Mada really crumbled though… botttom dragged every map

seven cuz he can shoot without an odin (just not this series

excel

MxS have sadly just had a monumental mental block cuz of last year. feels bad man. This is not the same team
