I mean it was either icebox or ascent and I feel they're pretty equally bad for EDG
how would you have done it? I think this is ok
they legit have 2 bad maps and they are 2 of levs best, just good they got to pick second so they have momentum for map 3
Has never been good. They were always gonna lose map 1 whether it's icebox or ascent, playing for the 2-1
bunt and monk are the better duo but people arent ready for that discussion
EDG are never going to win this map anyway who cares they're playing for the 2-1
Most disappointing Chinese team gotta be wolves for me. Superstar roster full of underrated players that were all insane on bum teams coming together, and a decent showing in kickoff. For them to be as bad as they were for majority of the year is really a shame cause that roster could’ve fought for top 3 if they got it right
No EDG players have won champs before tho ??
I mean obviously you can look at this champs and see that China has outplaced pacific but I wanna think properly. The amount of improvement for Chinese teams between stage 1 and 2 has honestly been similar to other regions from 2023 to now. It’s crazy how fast this region has been improving, especially at the end of stage 2 when teams like wolves and Tyloo found their footing. A big issue with lots of Chinese teams has been coaching, but that is actively being improved upon and has already improved a lot this year. I think by next champs China can be a top 2 region and are already punching up from that bottom spot
I really think FNC should do what EDG have done and move boaster into an assistant coach role or just something in the staff because clearly he’s passionate for the game and can cook some nice strats and anti, whilst boosting team morale. However as seen by EDG, sometimes dropping an igl and someone else picking it up can be big, and so I think Leo should take this role. Not only does it increase the firepower, but having an initiator igl allows for an easier time setting up plays, which a team full of stars like FNC would love. Obviously dropping igls is scary but I’ve been so inspired by the EDG rebrand that I’m all for it now
Watching how EDG are a billion times better with haodong out and nobody calling makes me believe that Leo in as a caller over boaster is a good idea, whilst keeping hiro
Means we get 1 team of each region in the top 4!!!! How fun is that!!!! Also full lower bracket runs create CRAZY storylines!!!! Go FNC and DRX!!!! 🟠🔵🟠🔵
Why do Tyloo have to hog all the good players whilst being awful themselves
Pl1xx had a very rough year both on and off igl which sucked to see. This team did seem to be good right at the end but I mean so did a lot of Chinese teams
Cloudberry
Backs me up on all my china glaze 😁
If EDG are top 3 and wolves beat EDG then what does this mean for wolves? Is Spring the goat? (yes) Is yuicaw the most underrated player rn? (yes) Are wolves top 3 itw at this current point? (yes)
Just some food for thought WOLVESWIN
If EDG pick sunset instead of lotus they deserve to lose the series
Who is everyone going for? For me I want FNC > SEN and DRX > TH. Half because I like those teams more and half because a full lower bracket run is cool
If they beat lev they have a very very good chance of winning it, their map pool is so good with double ban. Ascent is poor and icebox + bind a bit sketch but they have a world class lotus and sunset, a very strong abyss and a pretty good haven. They are suited for bo5s with this extremely strong mappool and I genuinely think they can go all the way.
As number 1 China glazer I am having an amazing champs. Lets go EDG!!!!!
EDG play FNC if they lose btw so this isn't possible
30 something haven’t been playing much. Been on the overwatch grind!!!!
Mappool is very good for both teams and the veto could go any direction tbh. Both teams ban ascent normally but as seen in the PRX match EDG are willing to float it. I think SEN will ban ascent and EDG will ban icebox maybe? It’s kinda hard to tell how good SEN are on icebox.
EDG look best probably on lotus and abyss, which SEN have consistently floated but haven’t played yet so it might be scary to pick. I do still think they’ll pick abyss
SEN probably pick sunset, which is a decent map for EDG but SEN should be confident here I believe.
That leaves bind haven and lotus, where I believe EDG ban haven and SEN ban bind, leaving a stacked map 3 lotus that could go either way.
I’m not confident in this veto at all as both teams have good and similar map pools, and whoever wins veto will be interesting. I do think EDG have a decent chance although the form SEN are in is scary but imma cope a little and say EDG 2-1
I get that them going international is annoying but at least they have goat Jemkin, not like talon bringing in b0n or l0nne
Last time I talked to a girl she left me for a bad boy jock, but what should I expect, I’m too nice 😔
Jawgemo leaving eg jail has to be one of the best ideas I’ve seen
I used all my pickem luck forever last year to get group c 100% right BLGWIN
They’re switching it around now. Cn gets its first win in uppers during playoffs so they gotta keep running all the way through
Monyet got the best neon itw RRQ just got cooked by format so only real ones know
China stage 2 was higher competition than Madrid tbh
Yeah and that last comp was pretty bad tbh they need something new
Started as a duelist
Transitioned to flex
Became full time smokes
Smoggy did it better at every stage.
Trace have a mean lotus that I’d heavily favour and can maybe upset another map
Alright alright let’s discuss this match. I’m assuming DRX are pretty heavy favourites but idk let’s discuss.
DRX ban lotus or ascent
Trace ban icebox
DRX can probably pick abyss/sunset here. I’d be surprised if they go to haven after the rough showing against sen and trace are kinda good at haven so yk. I think abyss will be the pick
Trace pick either lotus or ascent
I reckon DRX ban bind probably unless they think they can counter the deadlock stuff but they probably just stay away
Trace could honestly pick sunset or haven for the decider, probably sunset decider unless trace have some stuff cooked for haven.
I’m confident in both teams winning their picks, unless DRX ban ascent they can maybe do smth on lotus but I’d still favour trace. For sunset and haven I think you have to slightly favour DRX, but both maps are 60/40 imo.
DRX 2-1 incoming but trace have upset potential fs
thought this said creepypasta and I got nightmares
Taiwan superteam wins
Spring
Yuicaw
Berlin
YHchen
Tvirusluke
Roles will work somehow cause spring, yuicaw and berlin are all flexible. Berlin main caller and YHchen secondary caller. Luke will be full power cause he won't be translating for vo0kashu and can full focus on the dive duelist role
