Yeah. Huge respect to LOUD and maybe even to fnatic. The lower bracket is tough, and it looks like the format was especially rough for loud because upper bracket matches happened before the lower bracket so from the beginning until the dark days, they had no rest.

Yes as if we can just make anyone igl to replace boaster, especially because he has a unique igl style that worked for the team for over half the year....

But yes chronicle can do the same thing, surely?

Edit: i don't actually think this. I tried to make the sarcasm as obvious as possible.

It's almost like you don't want 100T to win... fns makes any team amazing simply because he has proven to be an amazing igl, despite his mechanics being sub par.

This is disrespect to alfajer, who clears cned in his sleep.

WAIT WILL WE SEE FURIA HAVOC????? Maybe they might finally be good

I NEED TL to poach trexx. Save him from the hell known as KOI. Unless koi get top 4 next year, trexx needs to get out of there.

Pistachio, vanilla, cookies and cream.

I agree. In all the top 4 teams, arguably the worst players on each of the teams are the smokers. Even in the top 8 teams at champs, apart from drx of course, the smokers seem to be the worst...

You just want bilibili to be top 5 because they beat nrg and you're trying to cope with that. Edg, drx and maybe even fut clear bilibili

forsaken for this whole year imo. ethan very close second place, followed by very close third chronicle.

mako-leaf-ange1-boostio

which agents do you think will be the best to play on sunset (new map)?

famouz would actually be a really good pickup imo.

1. EG
   2.FNC
2. PRX
3. LOUD
4. DRX
   this is considering placements for the entire year and performance over the whole year. PRX and LOUD are interchangeable, and so is FNC and EG.

Yeah. I remember when everyone called potter the worst coach in Americas at the start of the year.

Ok we all agree that jawgemo isn't best controller of the year but who else can contend for that spot out of thr top 8 teams? I doubt boaster or tuyz are at that level yet. Maybe mindfreak since he started to play better and performed well at champions? But that was only towards the end of the year. I wouldn't give it to the Chinese controllers at this stage, and mako underperformed at tokyo but got back to form later on. Some people are suggesting som an di would agree, hes been good even if his team has not. So really, for the full time controller role, it's between mako, mindfreak and som.

Does it only apply to teams that come second at champions? (Gambit, optic, paper rex) because the teams fall apart in the next season...

DRX is definitely not losing next year. I believe in them. They seemed to look much stronger than they have in the past, and they can definitely win it next year.

YESS MAKO MADE IT IN THE LIST! LETS GOO

Wait since bleed people are leaving and there is a free slot on prx, will there be more space for very good Indonesian players that didn't make franchising?

Wait for game changers championships and maybe be productive for once since the 6th of August

Oh no. Is it really that low?

Reasoning: let's look at previous international lan winners.

2021:
Reykjavik: sentinels (got wiped off the face off the earth in 2022)
Masters berlin: gambit (team collapsed/fell apart because of [redacted]
Champions 2021: acend ( washed team didn't do anything after winning and ALSO fell apart as a team)

2022:
Reykjavik: optic (also broke up after franchising killed the roster)
Copenhagen: FPX (lost ardiis at the end of the year and definitely look worse this year)
Istanbul: LOUD (we all know what happened with LOUD. In case you don't, look at where sacy and pancada are now

2023:
Lock in and tokyo: fnatic (or should I say chokenatic? There was no reason for fnatic not to win all 3 events this year but they looked significantly worse, although I don't expect roster changes or a blow up of the team...)

Now we are in champions LA. We can see a common trend: teams lose a player(or players) and look worse at some point in the following year. We know that jinggg is leaving prx and whether you like it or not, the team will not look as good if jinggg leaves since he is really good on raze. So unless EG will flop next year or roster changes sre incoming for EG, PRX should win here. The international winner's curse is quite strong and very consistent.

If he's not first across all the international lans then it doesn't matter.

What is considered high or low sens?

Give me the 50k. Actually I think i would choose the other option even if it meant no money.

Actually I want kang kang instead

SOMETHING

Prx players definitely need to be higher.

Wait do you claim LOUD to be part of NA? Are you feeling OK?

GENG, if you want any chance of competing in franchising, pick these guys up. Or at least estrella and lakia...

TL should drop jamppi and soulcas and get trexx and chronicle. Maybe sayf can stay but if not, then recreate gambit lol

Bro isn't even trying to hide the fact that he is a bandwagoner. Wow

I love how many people have turned around from tokyo to now saying that fnatic sucks all of a sudden, like everything they did till now was pointless. I don't get it.

I wish drx was here because they were able to put up a good fight against loud the first time around. But knowing chokerx they probably would have lost to LOUD even if they didn't throw against fnatic.

Damn you must be new if you think trembo is a fake flagger. He is a legend in the art of glazing a specific player for NO reason.

Bro be proud that your one good Brazilian team is winning. Also reminder that furia isn't at champions.

" he doesn't gamble"
"He opens crates"
"He's a skin guy "
He gambles.

Well that was the intention for the other 9 people who downvoted you.if it makes you feel better. :)

TOP 2 FROM EACH LEAGUE??? Damn good luck Americas teams...

Hot take Victor is incredibly underrated and if he was put on full time jett duty instead of fraudiis then he would put much much higher numbers. Very close but Victor is a tiny bit better imo.

I talk too much. also I sound like I'm on zaza whenever I play soimagine a guy who sounds and acts stoned talking through the whole game. Also I intentionally scream into the mic when I get jumpscared ( happens about 5 times a game)

Drx they did it again... 😞

??? I didnt know they considered Luton a city... I don't live in Luton btw.

Idk but I know that some people would say that my city is the worst in the country.

But sen is playing without marved... it says it right there.

Another reason why I irrationally hate French people.

I actually liked shadowisbad but then he got bullied off the aite/ banned :(

Honestly xeta might be the only player I would be willing to replace zest with even though zest is really good rn. I would rather get saya over meteor. Both are good, but honestly buzz is already quite good.

DEJA VU TO LOCKIN WITH VANITY... IS FNATIC ABOUT TO DROP BOASTER AND DERKE???
