New player = worse synergy
:0
Must replace with another new player instead of building synergy cause the new player will have synergy cause they just will

It’s better than the alternative of a bracket reset

PRX best sunset itw they win 13-7

yeah if geng lost fights they would lose rounds so they are bad cause they win fights

He plays on the 2nd best t2 thai team and is decent

HSK ex DFM

3 is enough for pacific

munchkin didnt igl last year that was xeta

Why are people saying they trolled the veto like they'd have a better chance on sunset which is their perma like shoosh split will be close sunset wouldn't

would you ban your permaban or a map you're good at regardless of opponent

sunset would be just as bad if not worse chance for geng

Split should go SEN
Breeze should go GEN
I think this whole series ignoring an upset should be decided by lotus which is 55/45 in GENG favour imo

geng have played ascent 3 times and won 13/5 13/5 13/4 so it may be better than their breeze/icebox and besides sen don't even look that bad on icebox

Sen ban ascent
GenG ban sunset
Sen pick split
GenG pick icebox
Sen ban breeze
GenG ban bind
Lotus remains

GenG are more likely to win split than sunset

RRQ didn't play PRX either

CN
S: EDG FPX
A: WOL BLG TE
B: TEC JDG DRG
C: NOVA
F: AG TYL

This is not accounting for the rumored roster changes for split 1 which will boost TYL NOVA JDG in theory

194cm
76kg

Middle of the pack team I’m afraid, and by the looks of it most teams below them are making moves, could punch up but I’m imagining they either will just miss playoffs or go out round 1

Sen would rather bind than icebox I reckon I feel the decider will be lotus but I agree with the first 4

They have only played GenG this year and people will still put them bottom half

Can you explain why RRQ are in 9th

Real China rankings
1: EDG
2: BLG
3: WOL

Obviously edg number 1 but let’s all be fr, BLG vs trace in playins was a huge toss up and could’ve gone either way whilst BLG had an unwell player, I personally think BLG looked better than trace after that first game they played.
Ok ok so how come BLG > Trace means anything? How come wolves are 3rd? FPX are a very frag dependent team and against teams with strategies and similar aim they fall apart which is they look good regionally against teams like DRG that are actually have no macro, I think that all of wolves BLG and trace have better strategy than FPX and all have close firepower. Had FPX faced wolves or BLG I think they would’ve been outplayed on a macro level and unable to diff on a solo level enough to get anything done. Thanks for reading everyone 😊

Wolves!!!! Spring goat!!!!

:(

Had the RRQ map 3 icebox comeback happened could RRQ have made the same run? I think so and more they probably wouldn’t have dropped a map yet

Spring

Ik that 4 is life but Yuicaw also works as he was actually teammates with kk in 2021 on CBT gaming if you count a Chinese player as someone playing in China

Just put my house on both results happening

RRQ 3rd best pacific team unfortunately sorry

not reading but 0/8

yeah all off season events are mickey mouse

I mean wolves have an import igl and coach and they’re the best team itw so probably yeah

WOLVES

im 7'3 and I feel unrepresented in media in general just cause I'm such a behemoth but I hope at least other people can accept me

people making too big of a deal about this as if they'll get banned for saying the wrong thing like who cares really

50% chances it happen cause 2/4 teams are pacific cause that’s how it works no other logical thinking required

Tomaszy is nuts it’s just transitioning from duelist to perma viper is tough and takes time

Ik it’s only 4 teams but lowkey anyone can beat anyone and although sentinels are still probably favourites it could really go to any team. Very excited

So many new players this event ofc prx have an edge based on international experience alone, like maybe you could argue rn is a step down from champs in terms of team quality but compared to lock-in it’s so far ahead and by the end of the year quality of play will be far higher

0/8

Can we all admit RRQ are the 2nd bed team itw and would’ve come 2nd had they been in a diff group

Why are people freaking out at this draw like it’s the craziest thing ever when this was the only possible draw. They aren’t drawing rematches in the same tournament so GenG can’t go against loud or sen. Also some ppl complaining about no loud vs sen final need to realise it’s double elim

GenG and loud already played and sen vs geng can’t happen cause they both top seeded in swiss
