I didn't get a chance to watch their matches yet but that NET margin is ridiculous. Averaging a 13-9 is wild.

god bless you shaofeng

Yeah i know. But i think if they played 10 times right now, LOUD would win 5 or 6 of them. It's really close to me

not to mention loud trolled map veto

Destroyed loud on their first map pick and Lotus as a toss-up. I put LOUD over them because they have a better map pool head-to-head.

1. LOUD
2. SEN
3. KC
4. TH
5. GEN
6. PRX
7. EDG
8. FPX

LOUD and SEN are neck and neck. LOUD has a couple maps that they are better than SEN on which is why I gave them the edge.

KC looked good and showed good sample size, however they fall behind in my eyes because of the quality in EU right now isn't up to par with where it was last year.

TH looks promising, but would love to see them get some more experience together. If they make it late, watch out.

GEN falls in the rankings because of how weak Pacific is this year. The same goes for PRX. Gen-G looked much cleaner than PRX to me, but I'm not sure if it will hold up against top competition. Great dark horse candidate.

EDG seems sluggish and rusty. This could just disappear when it's time to play in Madrid, but I'm not too hopeful. In KangKang we trust.

FPX.

What is that atrocity

i know what you are. it's what i am.

MAPS: Split, Sunset, Breeze

I can promise that Icebox and Lotus will not be played. sorry Icebox fans :(

One thing I can guarantee... Ascent will not be played xD Feeling Split, Bind, and Breeze

i feel like ego is one of those things you like to see from someone you like, and hate when it's someone you don't like or don't care about. i like him and i like his ego lol. to each their own

I’m sorry for doubting you….

JK NO I’M NOT. LIQUIT IN FREE 💧🐴💧🐴

6’2 - 165lbs (🇺🇸🦅 WTF IS A KILOGRAM 🇺🇸🦅)

I reread your message and I want to apologize. I let other responses change how I responded to your logical and fair comments. I'm sorry I was an ass. I hope you have a good day.

IMO if they don't find a way to pull this off they're throwing

why are you mad that i'm trying to find the best performances? lmfao Go outside bro. I literally want to watch the match to understand why things played out the way that they did. Why are u so pressed lmfao

I understand that. I'm not trying to determine the best player, I'm not trying to derive anything other than "why he found success". I understand the factors, I'm not 12 years old. You don't have to explain statistics for me. Get off my dick, respectfully.

My issue with this is the language they would speak. That would leave the majority of the players speaking their second language. I like the idea of snagging a few of the M80 players.

Zekken (Raze/Flex)
Marved (Controller)
JohnQT (Sentinel)
Koalanoob (Jett/2nd Controller)
eeiu (Initiator)

If TenZ takes a break he would be the perfect 6th man. Otherwise I would pick up a young player like Adder or someone else to develop in a similar fashion to what EG is doing.

it's a statistical anomaly. It sticks out from the rest of the performances enough for someone to mention it so obviously he was doing something right. Please don't be ignorant.

he found success during that game tho? there's something to learn from any success, no matter how shortlived

I prefer International, but any recommendations are welcome. I just like watching outstanding performances and seeing what caused them to find that level of performance.

I’m not trying to derive meaning from it. I’m just studying why each player found success, no matter if it’s short term or across multiple series’.

YES thank you. Exactly what i was looking for

Who do you think has had the best run statistically in a single tournament? Yay? TenZ? zmjKK? Let me know. I’m going to be watching all the games from each suggestion to come to my own conclusion, but I need your help remembering the best of the best.

checks notes NA'VI owner, NA'VI management, NA'VI fans that actually want the team to win every time they play

that's my entire point lmfao please brush up on ANGE1's comp selections in the middle of the split. He and d00mbr0s cook up the most ungodly abhorrent comps known to man just for shills to act like they aren't being serious. This team is not the FPX we knew. They won't be NA'VI for long either.

remind me of NAVI's motto? and building a winning culture is the entire point of an organization like NAVI. you think they give a fuck if you reveal your strats? No they don't. Your job is to win every game you play as a competitor. Anything less and you deserve to watch someone else take your spot.

this is the most confusing brain-molded, bingo ball skull cavity, lobotomy failure take I have ever heard. You don't think there's pressure from NA'VI as an org to perform regardless? It's bad for the brand when your team is getting 3-0'd even if you qualified for the main tournament. It's bigger than just the on-server stuff. It's a brand and a company that relies on prestige to sell merch, garner attention, and keep fans. They aren't trolling bc if they were they would be dropped. It's a business, not just a little shooter game.

bro lay off the Copium lmfao. they're getting CLAPPED just accept the "classification" (???) and move on

been saying that cNed is the most overhyped player in the world

Real SEN fans knew that was coming. You can't scare me anymore. I have no expectations so I will never be let down.

They aren't throwing they're just dogshit and their IGL refuses to adapt his philosophy. Classic NAVI IGL ego

NAVI is being sabotaged from inside by the Range bot named "ANGE1". That is all o7

Fan* i don’t play the game.

NAVI good??? Being in LCQ alone is disappointing for this roster. NAVI is scraping by in maps against a 4-7 team. Keep in mind if it weren’t for FNATIC’s dominance, they would need to beat Giants tomorrow, which is absolutely not a guarantee. They made Champs so the job is accomplished, but they are far from meeting expectations.

InB4 “keep talking shit about NAVI!!!” coomers. They beat KOI. They still have massive issues that need addressing. Thank your daddy Fnatic otherwise you’d have to win tomorrow too. I hope they sort the problems but there are still red flags flying all around this team. o7 see ya at champs

They are essentially washing this man’s feet like the second coming of Christ. Someone remind them that no player is bigger than the club. Shameful groveling

I will never agree with ANGE1 about his FD’s being beneficial to the team. My brother in christ if you don’t get your ass off main smokes i’m gonna lose it. Dying first on Omen or Brim is literally shooting your team in the foot. I don’t care how big brain you are, losing your main controller just so he can micromanage the team is never going to outweigh having smokes. If he was on second controller, or stayed on sova/2nd init then it would be much less detrimental to the team. He’s been on this cope train for years now and no success since he’s taken this stance. 26 First Duels over 3 maps on Omen, Brim, Sova… why man why? 13 FD’s over 3 maps. That’s just over 4 rounds a map where your team is without a main controller. I think it’s time for a new braintrust at NAVI

you're playing KC bro calma

ok i take it back that 3k was sick he can stay
