1. NRG (If Ardiss gains momentum they are a contender to win Finals)
2. LOUD (New players look great and core looks amazing)
3. C9 (hardest team to rank still not 100% on them)
4. 100T (Young team with potential to be No1 but could choke)
5. LEV (Super strong team and could be anywhere through 1-5)
6. SEN (Just not on the SEN copium + all 5 of the other teams seem stronger could prove me wrong though)
7. EG (Strong showing but played against arguably the worst EU team)
8. FURIA (Have the potential to be stronger than EG or even SEN full copium)
9. KRU (solid roster just in the most stacked league)
10. MIBR (Need time to develop or need to change some things)

They werent winning? And no offense to either player but they need to polish up their game before stepping into the T1 scene. Especially with the players available it wouldn't make sense to wait until the seasons over. (Honestly expected Govenor to go as well, maybe they pick a duelist up and switch his role)

Thats unlucky but its not like they threw the gun their and expected it to bug out.

Agreed the impact Crashies and Shinn had as well was huge. Really was a initiator diff this first round.

I think time will tell. You are acting as if I put KCORP top 5 and BBL in number 10 they are one slot apart and that game would be 50/50 and that would be pretty agreed upon saying BBL would convincingly beat or putting them over KCORP as of right now doesn't make sense to me

Didnt qual for a single event and lost to GUILD twice? In no way what so ever did they have a better year. Sayf had the better season and I understand the argument but if basing off the last time we seen these players Sayf>Chronicle

They have fun this comp before but never beat LOUD on this map? Gen G is good but no insane did they take a map off of LOUD? Cause that seems to be you're logic here and I'm not understanding. What makes a team a "rookie" team and not only that this team just beat EDG 2 months ago. They looked bad first map but picked it up in the second and looked a lot more comfortable. Underrating the Chinese scene is crazy, they have insane strats and are getting there mechanically.

Wolfen is better than Fitinho
Trexxx is better than Cloud (like no way thats fr)
Sheydos clears Hoody
Rhyme and Nukkye are true

I'm not saying he is bad? But again Sayf had a better year last year was arguably the best player on GUILD who had a better year than M3C. Chronicle can definitely come out and prove me wrong its close but if were going off last year its Sayf > Chronicle

Marved x Sinatra to win Challengers

DRX literally lost to GEN G on Ascent not to long ago. They have been shaky on the map with the new meta and could of been trying things in that match. KCORP has a stronger core and going into the match it was maybe 50/50 but they definitely are being underrated. (DRX ran a 3 initiator comp dont think thats ever even been done on LAN)

Arguably the best player on Guild and if Chronicle was the best player last year that's pretty underwhelming considering they didn't qualify for anything. No disrespect towards Chronicle he is a amazing player, but Sayf undeniably had a better year. (Plus Jamppi >> Derke is such a possibility man is underrated asf)

stay tuned tmmrw ill do Americas

Overrating BBL due to one map win seems to be what everyone is doing. Shinn, Scream and Nivera are a way stronger core than the BBL core and have more experience on LAN. They won their debut while being the underdog.

Derke > Jamppi
Chronicle < Sayf
Boaster <<<< Redgar
Alfa << Nats
Leo >>> Soulcas
close but no

Ardiss and Cned are on the same tier player wise. Ardiss has more depth and can do more for a team but Cned has a insane Jett, which Ardiss is good on Jett but imo not to the level of Cned.

FPX didn't look awful after map 1 and DRX completely destroyed them the games they won. They managed to take a map but I wont overrate them because of it, they looked awful on the maps they lost.

I don't think any of the EU teams in the Alpha bracket were expected to win (besides Giants). Difficult match ups and the bottom half of talent from the EMEA side, we will be able to tell when Omega bracket is played

1. Navi (FPX just upgraded Jett player)
2. Liquid (Most stacked roster on paper)
3. Fnatic (Known to whiff so not going higher)
4. KOI (Looked really good against NRG)
5. GIANTS (Looked good but cant gauge based off recent match)
6. Vitality (Good roster on paper)
7. KCORP (Has the potential to be a good team)
8. BBL (Took a map off DRX on first LAN appearance)
9. FUT (Undetermined could go above BBL)
10. Heretics (Looked mediocre against EG arguably a mid America team)
    Top 3 can go anyway really, we haven't seen any of these teams seriously play yet.

2k down the drain just like that

KCORP 2-0
DRX 2-0
PRX 2-1

Its not "no jett no seoldam" its more like he played like garbage so is gonna hit the bench for a game

u ride NRG's nuts

damn I may need to edit then had the Chinese copium wanted to see at least one of them move past first round unlucky

same predictions so ill hit you with my Day 2 preds
FPX 2-1
DRX 2-0
PRX 2-1

2nd is high. Maybe 5 but I could see him falling into the top 10

TSM 2-0
Breakthru 2-1

Ardiss to tho no? He clutched some bigs rounds and had a lot of impact. But I agree Shao was the best on the team

Personally think it was Ardiss arguably Shao. I have friends who think Suygestu and was wondering who you guys think was the best individual player on the team, regardless they were crazy wish we could of seen them in every tourney last year.

best bait of all time

Luka clears

delusional 49er fans wild LMAOOOO. You guys have Brock Purdy at qb, he has only faced mid defenses. Its time for him to get exposed..

so ardiss just doesn't exist in you're narrative

The Hills have Eyes

it is a casual game cause I have fun playing it casually like a lot of people still do. It just simply isn't fun to watch after a certain point especially when you've been into a game for forever

45 Days left to go rough day up late

he carried me to ass 1 so

was jus tryna point out the fact that Ascendant is a horrible rank and easy to get stuck in due to the boosted players
