bbl & nrg aren't really dark horses

im not a 100t fan im just supporting the underdog

can we please stop saying that team heretics is back after barely scraping by a 4th seeded chinese team

fully back after beating a 4th seeded china team and an inconsistent apac team lol

a random silver from eu would be better than him

placing higher than china at an international event is both not a high bar to accomplish and not a flex considering that SEN can be considered CN farmers. also, EMEA placed low because TL didn't have nAts in group stage and TH have completely fallen off

watching a team go from constantly placing at Grand Finals and being one of the best teams in the world to getting washed by NRG 13-4 in a bo1 and failing to make any meaningful strides really sucks. IDK if paTiTek was really that meaningful of a piece, or if they're just mentally fucked, but i hope they can fix things before s2/champs

i love boaster so idk what u mean, boaster has proved his value through success throughout the years. what has boostio done?

ik that kru did the best in their group during group stage of stage 1, but then kinda bombed out immediately in playoffs, going 0-4 in the two games they played. are they in the same realm of C9 in terms of group stage regional farmers?

boostio is -50 in the last 6 games

im probably incredibly misinformed, but why is boostio still on a team? ik that value goes farther than k/d, but since the start of ewc he's only gone positive against FURIA and EG,
vs FURIA: 20/19/5, +1
vs NRG: 41/49/24, -8
vs C9: 25/26/15, -1
vs EG: 31/28/5. +3
vs NRG: 40/64/19, -24
vs MiBR: 50/71/15, -21

It's apparent that it isn't his role to be the fragger. However, being a combined -45 in back to back BO5's is incredibly concerning. If there's an actual 100T fan that can explain his value, that would be much appreciated

I GOT A 4 ON MY APUSH
i fell asleep like twice during the exam and i misinterpreted both the SAQs and something for the LEQ but maybe my MCQs carried

i took apush only bc im taking psych and lang next year but i honestly think i got a 2

what is the most downvoted post on vlr? the biggest one i've seen so far was from FNS's retirement article https://www.vlr.gg/486399/fns-retires

it says bo3

hatewatch wolves throughout all of stage 2 and then hop back on the bandwagon during champs

weak mindset

2G 13-11 LEV
spike drops 33

0strella goes -9 on DRX map pick

you could say... miniboo

I know that typically believing in TH is like the easiest way to disappoint yourself, but I genuinely don't think there's any teams that are good enough to beat TH other than RRQ. Is it crazy to say i think TH qualifies through the decider and then immediately loses in the actual event?

Guangzhou Huadu Bilibili Gaming (Bilibili Gaming) 2-1 TYLOO

im talking about how there are an increasingly vocal minority (or majority, I can't tell) of people with 100T flairs saying they're gonna beat teams like FNC, EDG and GENG and win the EWC

10/10 watch from TMV and also might be something to think of about omen nerfs

i remember it being on the ropes through the middle of fracture but i dont remember the teams or the players :(
not the same one im thinking of, but still a shorty round for twisten https://youtu.be/jBxaTGUckKs?si=JMKq6R5ouLtYh2bx

i think they get at least one map

the shorty round for twisten, i dont remember the game or the clip but it was really sad hearing about his passing :(

not even a regional merchant anymore </3

why are there so many 100T posts about winning the ewc when they have the hardest group

it was 114 where i was last week (i live in eastern america, barely even close to the south)

that's not even a rework made with pro play in mind, her decay is most likely going to be useless when you're playing against the best of the best

even viper (considered bad/very bad) had a 63% pickrate at toronto

controllers (highest pickrate @ toronto)
Omen- been a consistent pick for a very long time
Viper- even after constant nerfs she's still highly picked (63%)
Astra- incredible falloff in pickrate (going from viper's 63% to only 9%), only used on pearl
Harbor- obviously needs reworked
Clove- strong in ranked but doesn't work in pro play (kind of like reyna?)
Brim- idek man, literally didn't get picked a single time

they're already a top pick in ranked, I don't think there's a way to make them viable in pro play without making them incredibly broken

ok ill change it lmao

i've seen a lot of ideas around nerfing omen, but i haven't seen any good suggestions

-buffing other controllers straight up wouldn't make omen less played, it would make double controller more common

-i think his smokes could use a nerf, the fact he has them so quickly and they last so long is a bit crazy but it's not incredibly crazy, they were already nerfed once since his unique one way were taken away but it didn't really do anything so im not sure how any other nerfs could really do anything

-his blind is the only undodgeable and unshootable blind in the game, which is honestly a bit scary but im not sure how it would be changed since nerfing the width or length of it doesn't change the fact that it's undodgeable and unshootable

-his tps are incredibly versatile and arguably the most creative part of his kit, i don't think they're the reason he had an 82% pickrate and nerfing the price or the distance doesn't really seem logical

-his ultimate's only good for either flanking or picking up spike situationally, if you really wanted to take that away from him i suppose you could but you would probably have to reduce his ult to 6 points

i think that overall he isn't incredibly broken in comparison to other controllers, he's just consistently a 7/10 in most situations

"and still be allowed to use abilities"
anything to discredit astra

having ult more often doesn't really do anything

buffing other smokes doesn't fix omen being primary pick

kru vs furia already in the event

ik its ragebait but doesn't discrediting EG by saying they only beat prx without patmen mean that prx were actually incredibly good

TEC>RRQ is insanity

i think they would win group A 2-0

i did mean rb oopsies

TEC is cooked without Rb

yes but that's because they imploded halfway through stage 1 with drama but they benched simon and added hfmi so i think they could bounce back

should've manifested a mental for munchkin (i think thats the igl)

1st match- Master's Toronto Grand Finalist
if they somehow beat FNC, they face either Gen G (#2 APAC) or EDG (#1/2 CN)
if they lose against FNC, they face either GenG (#2 APAC) or EDG (#1/2 CN)
if they make it to decider, they face either FNC again (if they won first match) or whichever team they didn't face from EDG vs. GenG

rip 100T and 100T fans
