Narcissist’s Asshole

Sameee

Genuinely better for them to lose PLUS I want M3C to qualify

People forget Guard literally played two matches against top 4 teams. If EG gets second seed I bet they'll be able to make it to playoffs, and then we'll see.

I really hope they do, but first they need to qualify to playoffs. I'm not jinxing it.

Have you watched EG??

I LOVE ANALYSIS I LOVE ANALYSIS I LOVE ANALYSIS

Matters less than M3C vs Liquid tho cause if M3C lose they very well might not make playoffs

They are phenomenal but I’m calling it: they face EG in masters and lose then make a lower bracket run

When India sends a full team to masters people are gonna riot, I’m so excited.

Wishing the best for him and his family. Also wish I had spare money so I could help.

Same!

Optic are definitely the best team in NA rn imo but I think some of the others have what it takes. Even with the guard people forget they played a super close match against optic and then got destroyed by PRX. That’s literally only one international match against a top 4 team at the tournament. If optic get first seed I think there’s a decent chance the other NA team makes it to playoffs.

Let’s not bother with this one yeah guys

Honestly EG and 100T are decent contenders and ghost is a good dark horse. I don’t believe in XSET tho they just lack some spark.

It was a hit! Exciting

It feels like people are crawling out of the woodwork on this site to be like EU is better at everything, Europe is the best, fuck the rest of the world. I’m sure there’s an interesting thesis in here about how imperialism and European conquest resulted in this. Maybe something like Europe creates modern version of game (say football) -> spreads it around the world along with other values -> other peoples start playing it -> some of those peoples are less interested than the area it originated in, so they are worse at it -> time to clown on them bc Eu best!

Phrased it wrong sorry, my point is I think they bring equal levels of value to their teams so Yay = Derke. Obviously the whole concept of rating teams based on their individual players is stupid because the teamplay matters more. I'd say if Fnatic maintain their current form they beat Optic, but they've burned people in playoffs before soooo

He's doing the exact same baits as always nothing's changed. Also I think Trembo is the best baiter on this site because he's not baiting.

ok but fr tho this is the first time I've seen Kristof with upvotes, wtf is going on

If M3C plays like their BIG game against liquid I'll be so sad. It was tragic, and I'm really rooting for them to get better again!

Ok honestly I think Yay matches up exactly to Derke except he's even more consistent. Maybe his peaks are a little lower, but he's literally never had a slump, and always steps up when his team needs him.

I do agree about Victor, he's definitely not as good as Alfa online, although I'm interested to see how Alfa will do in his first LAN. He's a NUTTY player tho.

Nvm I talked with that Italian dude

Could’ve been me I said that too

Bad use of a great copypasta try again later

Possible but I'd give them a 75% chance of making it. But as XCOM teaches you, 75% is not enough...

Vanity fucked boe jiden last night

Yeah I think he’s been an awful igl recently and his individual performance has also not been great (probably because of his mental), but people too easily forget he was an elite player all through last year (on sova, breach, etc) and even first stage this year. He was also known as a fantastic igl with great reads. Sentinels have been in a massive rut but he could definitely perform again on a better team.

I trust the players more until proven otherwise or if there’s more evidence

It’s literally Kristof

Hot take: every player on sentinels (yes even shaz) are all great and could compete with the best in tier 1 assuming they’re on non dysfunctional teams.

Pretty sure he’s still playing with V1 unless something changes in 4 days

Yes

Id be shocked if optic didn’t make it

Yeah definitely but his util and performance on kayo in particular was a big part of that

This is vlr, nothing I say could be weirder than things already said

Massive cap he was literally one of the main reasons they did well in stage 1

If V1 qualify to LCQ and get to practice with their full squad for a while (and keep Zander for this tournament), they will win it.

Yeah no

The upper seed teams will not do as well as the mid/low seeded teams in NA playoffs. Also optic are still qualifying.

He did but they were the same teams basically. Vanity led V1 with Penny, Zellsis, Effys, Jammyz (Wippie sub), and C9 with Xeppaa, Mitch, Leaf, Xeta, and both times they beat at least one team.

Vanity lead two different roster cores to international tournaments (rosters he basically built). No other igl in NA (or the world I think) has done that.

I honestly think both teams deserve it, Guard played so well against XSET and they could definitely be as good as stage 1, and NRG has a ton of really cool ideas that I wanna see work. Sucks that there can only be one :(

Awesome post

Agreed but obviously making the playoffs at all is a lot more important than seeding
