It'll just be last year's NRG with ethan instead of Ardiis. Definitely an upgrade, but I don't know if it's enough to move the needle. I'd much rather they keep demon1 and replace one of crashies/victor. But that's just me

Why do you think I care about that NRG roster with 0rdiis? They were terrible and still managed to be better than every EU team other than FNC last year

EMEA bros when they have to read two sentences:

FPX brother. Wake up, it wasn't a bad dream. Your team just lost to FPX

FPX has never won an international match before and now they embarass one of EMEA's top teams while playing Clove. EMEA might actually be the worst region in the game; behind China

The event locations have cycled between EMEA, Americas, and APAC. Everyone has some that are better and some that are worse by this point. You just gotta roll with it

Even still, I've got work in the morning. I can't really stay up for a match that starts at 1 am and likely won't finish for multiple hours after. I'm just gonna watch the vods after

Nah cali has the worst possible timing. At least the east coast can catch the second match in the morning

EU frogs always find a way to complain about the timing of events

The agent will be a talking gorilla from the moon.

Abilities:

C Ability - allows him to deploy a spherical shield that blocks enemy bullets.

Q Ability - allows him to fire a long range beam of electricity

E Ability - allows him to leap forward, dealing damage on impact

Ultimate - allows him to enter a primal rage. For the duration of the ability, his maximum hp and speed are increased and he can only deal damage though short range swipes.

(per u/ValorLeaks on twitter)

It'll compete with Tower of Fantasy

Tell that to the people making the comparisons, not me

What if valkin is nitr0's vlr account and he's posting mid match? You didn't consider that

Add3r has to be the most overrated player in T2 NA. He's not the next Demon1/N4rrate

DRX, KRU, and SEN flairs having a mid-off

"neither are eg"

Why would I be ashamed of this team lmao? They beat Kru both times they played this split and they've looked great in every game besides yesterday's 100T match. Maybe you should just bandwagon on whichever team is winning if you can't find it in yourself to support your supposed favorite team right after they qual for masters

Just take your Lev flair off and put a Kru one on. You aren't fooling anybody

The match won't come down to either of those players when Aspas is +30 against Derke

Can't wait to see Lev embarrass FNC at Shanghai

You could grab anyone of out of silver and put them in Boaster's place on FNC and the squad does just as well

Every Americas team, particularly Lev and 100T if they make it. It could be cool to see T1 go on a run since I like carpe

Let that sink in

Ah that makes more sense

Are you actually from the Czech Republic? If so, I'm curious how you ended up a fan of Baltimore sports. It was good choice, the Ravens and Orioles are both sick

And how'd their PaperRex match go?

Do you think Lev hasn't improved since then? Have you been watching the matches?

It wouldn't be hard

In summary: FNC (didn't make madrid, look awful), TH (bombed out at madrid) and KC (bombed out at madrid). I'm not liking EU's chances

In terms of what? Delusion?

Swimming? Michael Phelps would like a word

Edit: nvm I misread your comment and thought you said Europe was better at swimming

You're just like the oo aa ee chanting guy. Silent when they lose, annoying and loud when they win

If everyone on FNC can learn portugese within the next month or two, this could work

I think with the regions getting merged and now with players from across all of Americans forming teams (ie. SEN, LEV, slightly KRU). It's a little dumb to still obsess over that distinction.

When were Aspas and Less on a team with Boostio?

EMEA got the mudfest between FNC and TL while Americas get this. It really isn't fair for them

Did you just wake up from a months long coma?

Bad team =/= fraud

MIBR, Furia, GE, and KOI aren't frauds because no one thought they'd be good in the first place. They have completely met expectations

Both of them deserve credit

For being bad enough to make Ardiis look like a good duelist

SEN already won an event. That's more than nearly every other team in the league will accomplish this year. No way you can call them disappointing

For being bad enough to make Derke look like a good duelist

I'd love to see a match between BBL and EG/100T/SEN/NRG. You EMEA guys have an inflated perception of how good your teams are. When was the last time an EMEA team other than FNC beat an NA team in VCT? Look through the LANs, try to find a match. What makes you think this mid BBL roster is gonna be able to?

Your region is getting dogwalked by Turkey? And both of the turkish teams are horribly mid

Just a sea of mid

FNC can easily pass KC

Do people even play this game? Or do they just goon to the main character and talk about how much they hate wokeness

That feeling is called delusion

BBL look good because they are playing against European farmers and plumbers. In Americas they'd be in competition with FURIA for bottom of the league

Did you watch Champs or Madrid? Or did you tune out after all the EMEA teams got sent home in group stage?
