I ain't reading all this

Simply built different

Where are we going?

I wouldn't say it's an addiction really, but I do have a bad habit with biting my nails.

Fnatic is my favorite EU team and the main reason is because of boaster. Absolute chad indeed.

USA, Canada, and Finland seem like the Top 3. I think Brazil, South Korea, and Turkey have high potential as well.

How bout Nuturn assuming solo and peri are retiring soon.

I doubt we have another Astralis 2018 moment yet.

If you're looking to play a good MMORPG to play, you most likely will have to pay a subscription fee.

Just accept it for once, this is a rare occasion.

Remove Japanese slot. EU 3 slots, TR 1 slot, and CIS 1 slot. EZ Clap

Such good maps, but man Fnatic can't take a fucking map.

oof

Pretty sure he said in the world.

TenZ top fragging, Derke bottom fragging. That guy who said Derke was the best player in the world must feel pretty bad now.

Take away a Japanese slot and give EU 3, TR 1, and CIS 1 rather than just 4 EMEA slots.

Sentinels Radiant
Fnatic Immortal 3
TL Immortal 1
Nuturn Diamond 3
V1 Diamond 3
Vikings Platinum 3
Then the rest

You forgot to put EU.

Idk, considering V1 played with a sub and still beat Liquid and nearly made Top 4 is quite impressive imo. Both regions are at the top so w/e.

Couldn't have asked for a better final with the teams at this tournament other than maybe SEN vs. Liquid. Sen take this 3-1, they just look too good right now.

Come back to Twitter dad

Well if fnatic lose Haven against NU, that would be absolutely depressing.

Me to TSM. EZ Berlin champion.

Exactly

I didn't understand either until I saw Astralis literally win everything in 2018 CS. It did start to get boring knowing that Astralis would inevitably win the tournament of the month.

That's what I thought

Not funny, didn't laugh

Extremely exploitable team in terms of map pool, where teams essentially get a free map on the board, whether that be Icebox or Haven. They have strong mental as a team though, so you can never really count them out, unless they lose their own map pick. I think they've made it as far as they could, and either TL or fnatic beat them.

what?

My League of Legends account name is "girlfriend haver," so yea.

Should probably hold off on world rankings until Worlds finishes. By that point, we'll have had a better understanding of where teams place.

Chill

So what advantage does Sentinels get for coming from the upper bracket? I'm going to assume it's getting to pick the first 2 maps, which is okay tbh. I think giving a map advantage or bracket reset is TOO good of an advantage over the opponents, but they can't have nothing. Bracket reset would work IF this final was Bo3, but Bo5 is too long.

Nuturn is a very exploitable team. Teams that face them essentially get a free map, whether that's Haven or Icebox. They do have great mental though, and the EU teams cannot let their guards down, even if they've stomped them on one of those weaker maps.
