highly doubt mostnon na watchers know who that is or if they do i doubt they would think of him unless he's specifically mentioned

here bc i want na to win shanghai

duolingo for every day until shanghai starts and you'll be fine

pakistani spotted

who would get dropped?

12 mini

lev will improve

easily the most competitive
EMEA: TH, FNC, FUT, KC, NAVI, are good, everyone else is trash
PACIFIC: GENG, PRX, are good
CN: FPX, EDG, are good
AMERICAS: 100T, G2, LEV, KRU, C9, LOUD, SEN, are good

you picked a terrible time to send this, all the eu frogs are awake

russia is part of east europe

erm actually bro has dos más players 🤓

???

a stands for aspas

wait what why since when?

where is autumn?

unless ur name is y0y

Emea or Americas one seed would probably pick t1

fnc did stomp but the other storylines like eg and edg and prx with the sub were really unique and can't really be replicated

tokyo should be way higher, that tournament was hype

there's a lot more that goes into the game than stats

1. c0m is a world champion and is well respected by his teammates
2. american and probably makes tex more comfortable
3. hype man
4. good lurker which works out well since tex is new to sentinel
5. likely more flexible than nzr (c0m plays cypher now)
6. maybe there were internal issues, who knows?
7. it's what the coaches wanted after seeing the teams scrim and play in the offseason and the move has worked out so far

why complain?

Sen are better than nrg at least

losing isn't unlucky if you it happens 3 times. this goes for any team

hopefully the format allows for this

t1 about to get bullied with this format

When did I say t1 was in the goat conversation? When did I even mention t1?

out of 3. not really any great comparisons

wait, loud was favored in this just bc they looked good against g2? are we ignoring the fact that loud had a 2-3 season and 100t was really good? my pickem

only tough opponents would be 100t and lev, both games are winnable if the roster pans out

clearly a bait

-- ethan + saadhak would be wild

eg's run from the start of americas playoffs to the finals of masters tokyo

ranked is def important for those saying it's not. in LoL, Korean teams dominate because after scrims they instantly start grinding ranked solo queue. it's not a 1 to 1 comparison because LoL requires a lot more game sense and a wider agent pool but still.

why are SA and NA seperate?

Mme (real flair is Nrg, secondary is t1)

Keiko is cracked

saying chet would have a bad track record if you remove optic is like saying mini has a bad track record if you take out fnatic, it just doesn't make sense

hola

americas is harder than pacific. even still, geng had to grind and barely got through

my mind has been changed

not as screwed as NRG

im pretty sure demon1 was born in russia and lived there for at least a few years

fnc were ahead of the meta (kept the same comps on almost every map for the entire year) and they gapped everyone so hard from start to near finish that no one could catch up (until the end ofc). sen was ahead of the meta for sure, but teams in general are much better than last year so the gap closed much quicker.

most of the pacific analysts/casters seem pretty lost tbh

at least fenis qualified to play billy 😭

shhhhhhhhh

someone hasn't watched much vct china. if you did, you would know that JDG is the best team is the league and will wipe the floor with everyone at shanghai

nrg don't know what they're doing, don't waste time questioning their ways

T1 win

go to school, learn how to spell lose, then come back with a reason why
