worst part is that the "aggro play" wasn't even the problem, the current meta favours hard fast clears but they don't know how to proceed off that aside from continuing to hold W

highlight of the game was kamo and miniboo pushing short (which is originally meant to punish players playing close or pinch towards showers) and they see that they're holding all the way back from spawn and they continue to push

yeah I agree, I think liquid will still feel confident in their pearl since it was a close game so they'll float it. most likely they ban corrode which they've always been awful on and NRG have always been great on

ts is prehistoric

lost me at Have faith in our IGL
anyway I agree spiritually with the message

you're stuck changing flairs every month you bum 😂

they are but I wanted my second take to be highlighted by comparison 😔 G2 still looked shit today and aren't beating T1. their double duelist is a joke compared to actual double duelist teams

opposite for me

NRG vs TL is 50 50 but T1 is stomping G2

NRG is NOT looking good

I think NRG will float haven and get stomped on it. we probably lose pearl and I'm not sure what the third map will be. maybe split and I think we'd be favored on it

for once you're being fair

it'd be hilarious if the only teams americass beats at the swiss stage are the chinese teams

yeah we saw that odin against prx 😂 purp0 could pick up the odin for the first time and diff that bum

I'm gonna be humble and say it's a 99.9% chance of winning

NRG's haven is ass 😂 I'd sure hope they pick it

pearl they beat us in I'll give them that

gold2 has a chance since T1 is ass but NRG is finished

this is gonna be free

LETS FUCKING GOOO

it's not even recency bias I genuinely think icy was playing better when he was on g2

it's hilarious that the "good game" you found for him recently was him on a 0.84 rating and my main point was that they're both regional stomps.I don't care about individual players' stats in a stomp unless they performed significantly above their teammates, which he definitely didn't.

now let's look at his stats in every other kickoff game

shout out to jawgemo for playing "pretty well" when his team stomps another regionally

died mid dash again I'm crying

if that was me I would have killed leaf low key

I disagree, that's a pretty bad idea and it showed in 2023 where fnatic was the only top emea team while the others were ass yet still got an extra slot. if they're going to do it, it should be based on average placement

caster said "couldn't have timed that better" and I think he was talking about you

I've seen worse days like watching NRG losing twice to bilibili back when I was a fan😔even lulquid getting 26-0d wouldn't be that bad

I can tell why you'd be offended considering the flair

americass fans should be praying whichever team they cheer for isn't the one that gets liquid

should riot give one spot from china and americas to apac and emea? it's time to let the better regions have more spots instead of these filler teams from shit regions at internationals

they're gonna get their second win against another americass team now

I didn't watch him in 2021 but even in his peak in 2022 he was not this good

I've watched this bum for 4 years, this is not him

"just shoot their head guys"

I speak for everyone when I say this is the best draw

not how the format works, unfortunately for you NRG is getting eliminated by us 🥱

because english is the most used language and "nice" and "lets go" are the most common things people say after winning a round so they pick up those words

bahrain always randomly has high ping no clue if it has to do with the war or not but it's back
dubai is gone though

when you try to make a copypasta but you low key just look like an idiot

yeah and nats was on his team that first year

kamo was not looked at the same as filu wtf, kamo was one of their best players and came out of that year looking like a solid pick up. filu was underwhelming and no one thought he looked good

what is this revisionism 😂
kamo was great on koi before he was added
keiko was a top tier 2 duelist, the equivalent of kaajak in 2023 pretty much
miniboo had phases where he was insane on heretics like kickoff 2024 and stage 1 2025, his stocks were lower at the end of the year but he was definitely finding a team regardless
purp0 was having an insane performance in tier 2 before he joined, he's the only one you can argue was "bad" since he had a bad tier 1 stint beforehand but it was always said he had insane potential and was great in scrims

the actual difference makers are lohan and yaotzin, what did nats do in 2024 with that roster?

so if peeRX doesn't win a trophy this year does it mean they were better with patmen? it's braindead to say they were never going to win a trophy with him when he only played one other tournament with them where he wasn't the reason they lost

nats is generally a bad caller so I don't expect good calling from them imo, especially not on pearl which is awful by most emea teams
I'm just surprised they had like zero strats on bind for when holding W doesn't work, surely lohan should've known people will sit back and wait for them to push? even I as a viewer recognized the bind strats which they used in the last two times they played bind

he neither advanced nor got knocked out, come on brother I thought you were baiting but you're just retarded?

they just looked like old PRX, their only strat on bind is to run people down and if it doesn't work they don't know what to do

I think they still have some great maps and they can still make playoffs but I don't see them winning a bo5 with this map pool without improvements

5 years later and PRX fans still can't bait, someone help those brothers out

bbl is going 0-2 either way

getting antistrated is like the opposite of a choke. do you know teams can just lose because the other team is... better?

"calling him a casual will really get him" 🤓

you didn't even get what i was saying, alas shrike my team lost so I'm in a benevolent mood and won't bother with you

idk about turkish fans but s0ntinelmain might be worse than hitler

I'm 5/6 on pick ems my watching speaks for itself🥱

they're lucky nats woke up on the wrong side today
