is there some secret meta with the spectre? all the korean teams are using it when no ones been using it for most of the year

he isnt even bad but because of the circumstances surrounding him joining it sucks

someone should repost his reaction to the t1 documentary

can you send the Imgur I can't find it myself

is this a big joke or nah? I like him alot as a player hope he does return

I wldnt put him top 10, but top 15. cos I think there's too many players thatve made a bigger impact/better performance in more tournaments.

someone talked about comfort duel picks on eg and trace where they swap players to the person most comfy on that duelist depending on the map. seems like secret stole that idea entirely and r pulling a 2023 lock in c9

Kelly's raze
yoru n1zzy
zesbeew neon

while this is good, they literally have a duel player who can play all of these. why overcook? just put wildoreo on it rather than keep swapping around. this is specifically for ts because this lead to other players filling in for other roles where they really don't look comfortable

and it's working?? didn't work with previous talon
maybe they got that dawg in him
didn't get to watch the game

crazy

intro

nah I think it's just so they can fill flashback into beyns role cleanly when they bring him back on, makes no sense to have freeing back on senti when he's gonna get taken off it anyways

hope he finds a home in a new Korean team soon, one that won't treat him like trash and consistently blame him just cos he has the least achievements out of his peers. maybe when Karon has military service or if mako ever leaves drx he can join up

emea is not the best region currently. Chinese teams r in a worse situation than emea was at Toronto and their best team ain't even here. Pacific is more competitive overall and emea is top heavy. are the top teams of emea better than Pacific? maybe. but pit global or team secret against koi or apeks ts/ge wins 10/10 times. also this event shouldn't invalidate prxs win in toronto

on the when the odds were 12:1 is looking to get their cash

don't get me wrong they're a great team and we can see that from their performance here but no offence this is nothing compared to champs, and they might suffer in split 2 because of maybe strats shown here and not alot of time to recoup

aged well

I'll count ewc but it is slightly lower than masters imo

h2h with current rosters prx has won more maps so if prx is shit what's FNC

prepping for outdated map pool

realistically it shouldn't be this time of year, right after masters 2 ends and right before split 2 starts. I think that they squish the schedule ABIT more, put ewc in August after split 2, so everyone who qualifies for split 2 makes champs, then do like an lcq where one more team can make it to champs? there's no time for another split too. what do you think?

while they both played duelist initially, meteors been playing at the top level since 2021 and foxy had to play other roles on drx which changed his playstyle too

that had nothing to do with toronto, Toronto's dates had been set since the start of the year while emea had issues which messed it up. only person you should be blaming is emea hosts
it was messed up tho, but ewc is mid regular season for china and some Pacific teams play their first game 3 days after they get home so it's also messed up for them

FNC has been nice on ascent with this new comp and it's one of prxs weaker maps so it's understandable, just like how prx is nice on sunset and is one of fncs weaker maps

yeah no real prx fan is pissed at prx for losing lol

I think he has to micromanage 100t more, in eg he had Ethan who was experienced and could midround and com too. in 100t asuna just gives really loud Comms and everyone else doesn't speak too much

bump

if it was an inseason tournament it would be a masters, it's like a pug tournament

i think FNC won split off of boasters calling. split isn't even in the map pool anymore so neither of them would be prepping them for stage 2. forsaken is not as good of an igl as boaster is, so boaster being able to call on a map both teams won't be particularly prepared for would be better as he would also have better ideas.

GGS to FNC with the way all of them were shooting they deserved it

yeah I think it's a level below masters 1 just off scheduling, but definitely above things like soop just off prize pool

exactly, the scheduling is all you need to show how it's off season. imo it shouldn't even be off-season but since it's a first year thing I think it's fine

I promise FNC fans would say the same shit if you guys won

eh I wouldn't count it because it's off season but ggs anyway

I say letem fight

are you saying almost every tournament in Val has been a fluke because of double map bans?? prx has had double map ban advantage every grand finals they've played and they only won 1

everyone is now saying prx fluked Toronto and that they only won cos of 2 map bans
keep in mind this is an off-season tournament and prx earned their 2 map bans by making it through uppers

game ain't even over people already saying prx winning Toronto was fluke

it's kinda funny how boaster is still double negative across both maps while jinggg doesn't even have the worst kd in his team

yo if omen tps could've won those rounds I think he wldve done that gng

i didn't get banned I just think it's unfair that other ppl got banned lol

yo id be mad and argue back but I wouldn't ban someone from SOMEONE ELSES chat because I was pissed. that's just being petty

people in fns chat? I've seen at least 3 people get banned for flaming boaster for playing bad. just cos he's your boyfriend doesn't mean you should ban people for speaking their minds. I don't see this when you flame ange1 all the time on emea broadcast???

just bring nismo not reddux

solo and hsk breathing life into him

lol yeah

I mean it makes sense because they're veterans: more exp and gamesense, and since they came from cs I assume they have more sprayey aim. but the rookies who grew up on Val will definitely surpass them in the future. more tappy aim is better for Val, and while spraying isn't bad, I think that peak bursting is way better than peak spraying

if termi instead of subbing foxy out every time he played bad or changing his role let him cook on duelist, he would be top 5 duelists in Pacific by now

players like Derke and buzz aren't better than their replacements in kajaak and hyunmin, but they've just been playing longer so people glaze them more. they also don't have better aim, they just have better gamesense so they place themselves in situations where their more sprayey aim can succeed.

they dont give narrate the op because hes the scan player not the jett player, and they really want zekkens jett to work

exactly

they have no obvious weak link(technically). boostio might not be in form but on this same roster a year ago he was popping off. asuna is kinda just flexing for cryo too. it's kinda like prx, where there's no really obvious weak link because every player contributes so much(boostio igl, asuna just making space for cryo to work which is how they win rounds sometimes). so they really just needa kick one player and fix their roles, like a consistent clutch player whos either really good on one role or has a larger agent pool.
honestly the only person I see 100t non Nepo kicking is asuna, eeiu is nice on scan, cryo single handedly winning them games, zander does aight on anchor and boostio is igl and he and zikz probably created a whole new system for 100t anyways.getting someone like bao who can flex or even victor who's more consistent and doesn't always do stupid shit. but honestly I think they should sign sonofcar, idk how old he is but I think he'd work well w 100t
