One of NRG's biggest problem's last year was the lack of consistent firepower. With the addition of mada and Verno NRG has finally added the firepower they needed. And with Verno being able to hold a site really well, NRG can finally win defense rounds.

Most people probably rate them low because most ascension teams were mid this year, and that Brazil wasn’t very good by the end of the year. I think 2G will be good, and will be a team fighting for the forth champ slot.

pyeon kim kwon?

I think clove is only good for the mental. Omen and astra are much better, but you have so much more confidence on clove.

Okay... that's cool and all, but could you answer the question?

Neptune vandal
Radiant crisis phantom

they have the same igl?????

People like to be cringe and create “chronological” watch orders. Some parts of the series happen out of order chronologically, but that adds to the experience. Just watch regular release order.

I prefer keyboard and mouse, but if you want a serious answer probably the 8bitdo controller. For it’s price it’s a great deal.

I don't care about game changers, but the viewership can't make enough money alone. If game changers had skins I could understand, but they don't even have that. Riot probably doesn't get anything out of game changers other than good will. Peak game changers viewership was 293,900 peak viewers while most regions have higher peaks, and most internationals have an average higher than their peak.

PRX wasn't doing poorly before champs though, and even then, they still made champs.

All I'm gonna say is that there seems to be a pattern between Americas ascension winners...
G2, 2G...
I think orgs might need to rethink their branding.

I don't think this is completely true, I have played neon and you have to be very conscious of how you move in the air. I do agree that grounded straifing is a little to strong right now.

What do you mean by wrong movement for neon?

an hour earlier makes it worse for me tbh, It means I can't wake up early to watch some of the second game (if I don't have school that day).

worst part is that the next tourney is also in east asia...
I'm fine with east asian tournaments, just not 3 in a row.

don't watch arcs individually, it won't be even 10% as good as watching it as intended. watch one pace or read the manga instead.

Dressrosa is peak, although I think egghead is my new fav.

The bottom of this list hurts me to read, but thats besides the point. I think Skypiea was amazing. I think people who watched the anime may have had a worse experience than I did, because for me the arc was just really fun and had a lot of interesting world building. Fishman Island has the worst fights in the series which means whenever I reread fishman island I skip them, which makes it not as bad as I remember.
Also It's not just you, but I hate when people split arcs like water 7 and enies lobby apart. They are one arc, and enies lobby just doesn't even stand on it's own without water 7.

Did you read the rest of the thread?
It said 2023, not 2024…

I only play unrated. i just can't have fun losing in ranked but I can still have fun losing in unrated.

Banger match, this is the best t2 add ever.

GenG had a great year, sucks it ended this way.

Sen won every pistol and every bonus...

At least texture got his ace!

I'm not a sen fan, but it would be funny...

GenG isn't the least hated...

Don't forget china...

money is money.

pretty down on SEN, at least sacy wants to win.

Interesting formatting choices...

Thank you.

genuinely curious, why are some starting at X:30 instead of X:00? was this a weird timezone thing, or was it a tournament schedule thing.

⠀

Most people are just mad because there are 2 tournaments in a row with bad time zones for America's. I don't think as many people would have complained if masters Madrid and Shanghai swapped, because then at least you can watch every other tournament live.
PS- watching reruns/vods are not the same as watching it live, I've tried to do that for shanghai and it just doesn't work.

d4v41????????????????????????????????????????????????? He was rated the highest in pacific this split.

Other then SEN being too high, it's good

SEN and LEV are a little to high I think. Mostly after SEN couldn't even beat 100T, and LEV looked leagues worse than G2 and had a close game a against KRU who in your own opinion is 13th.

D4v41? you may think he shouldn't be up there, but he's rated number one in pacific at the time of writing this.

I believe the KJ ult was placed slightly off from default so the molly wouldn't land. This was done because they had already used the ult and KRU knew all they had was a KAYO molly.

GENG is more consistent internationally, but aren't consistant in their region.

no need to apologize.

Fnc still got fourth last year... which most people downplay due to their two firsts earlier in the year.

Everyone acted like KRU was gonna lose lol.

Boostio has been calling every team he plays piggies. So People now throw it back at him when he loses.

Why is there a 4.5 and 4.6? I may understand if you were saying how close they are, but even that is in the wrong order. My only qualms with this list is how high Furia is and the "small gap" between 100T and SEN. I Think Sen and 100T are close if you look at more than just the last couple games, but I have a bias against putting teams above a team they lost to recently. (only if the teams are close in skill.)

The Team with the Highest points that didn't make top three will go in. This is the same for all regions.

GenG just didn't perform as well as PaperRex domestically. PaperRex lost only once to secret and had a 9-1 record while GenG had lost four times giving them a 6-4 record. PaperRex won the split 1 playoffs as well. I believe GenG is the best team this year but they still don't preform amazingly in pacific. I think the points work as to insure teams that do well domestically don't bomb in playoffs and lose their champs spot. If a team who won a major can lose in a regional playoff then I don't think they deserved that spot. Of course GenG did make champs and earned it.

Winner gets money, I’m sure the org wants it.
