Only one I could see being wrong is G2 v T1. Who knows what kind of match that's going to be.

WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP WE LOVE DARP

DITTO

W flor thank you goat

ok now u tell me

no scoped by cNed

W thanks

this man so good he's competing while retired.

real talk tho why did he change his mind? glad to see it but i heard his retirement was to focus on school etc right?

they study tf out of the game and guessing how these teams are gonna look is near impossible for some reason so i have a lot of respect for the attempt lol

show your preds

icebox is the same game every time you get into a match, breeze is impossible in ranked. i just want my fracture back. good strats plus if your team is braindead you can play around some angles

yes i am

thank you i appreciate it. very fun

also here is madrid for any who are curious what that might look like:

yes i've been tracking the stats all year

sorted by round wins/map

I agree. I hope they’ve worked on A Drop. The last iteration of it was kind of messy imo

nah but fr is it 2 maps or 3 that they'll be changing? and which ones do you think get removed?

hope we start seeing some teams sticking to their own styles as this year progresses. we have like 3 styles rn and everyone is trying to copy someone else (except for paper rex)

these smokes are much bigger now. you don't have to smoke the top of the A Short box on Bind anymore, you can just smoke the ground beside it. Breeze is Brimstone and Harbor territory now if teams don't like Viper. Smallest change but i fw it heavy

i post them after each major "stage-shift" in the season. next one is coming up soon + posting a lot of stuff for shanghai

mickey mouse finals predictions

yeah for sure. i use both and my preds are still dog lmfao

g2 been winning double digit rounds on every map since super week i have faith

edit: (ignore map 1 vs 100T and the series vs LOUD)

nah jinggg breaks kill record

i have an insane amount of stats and data that are never going to do anything meaningful, but i take them every week like a retired old man going to water flowers on the side of the road.

also one thing i learned: having the stats and watching the matches still doesn't mean your pick'ems will be good. or maybe it's just me

PRX 3-2 Gen.G
FPX 3-1 EDG
TH 3-0 FNC
G2 3-1 100T

he probably still plays but i doubt as much as he used to. probably just taking it easy and investing that money instead of trying to buy another ferrari. hope bro is doing well fr

but they have also show willingness to adapt and change so i think t2 stands a good chance to get better but as it stands right now, this is a t1 problem too. if t2 teams can come in and compete then what's the point of separating the teams in the first place yk?

-EG
+TSM

riot is killing org's interests in t2 and making it harder to be a pro player. They probably won't change.

TIME FOR HARBORRRRR lol i've been playing harbor as a viper sub since he came out since i hate worrying about my fuel

not a long time. just enough time for the riot mmo to come out so i can go pro in arena 1v1s. see you boys from the stage in 6 years

(꒪ȏ꒪;) MFW

imagine the memes that would take place when a team gets relegated lmfaoooo

i mean i guess in mxs's case they would be upset but they said they enjoyed picking up unknown players so i imagine they would keep going. but other teams without their unique situation might not continue which would really suck. could leave a lot of beneficial people out of the scene

aspas bc wtf

He said it was straining his neck having the monitor down and he was trying to play normally now. he looks more comfy

i don't understand this one. who are we dropping? this team just won a regional and international event back to back. i think he's prob a top 5 player in the league but idk if it ends with better results

i feel like they will look at least a little better in split 2. maybe some time to cook up and some time to let some of the yay drama blow over and get locked in. i would love to see him succeed i'll admit

so let's say mxs and mada win challengers this year, come up to the league and win every regional and international event for 2 whole years. they either have to: a. go back down to t2 with a roster that just dominated t1 for 2 seasons straight or b. their roster is picked apart to play on other teams

that's a really tough system if it's not merit-based. like a 2 or even 3-year relegation system for bad teams would be better than that. i understand it's more about the orgs staying in franchised league rather than the team that's signed to it, but it just feels bad you know? especially when it's the least corpo orgs that will get fucked

i've been saying bro should just switch to kj and cypher. chamber would be cool and all but i feel like he could just play the passive control angle-holding style and be a great sentinel player

康康皇帝! 康康皇帝! 康康皇帝! 康康皇帝! 康康皇帝! 康康皇帝!

Love his librarian headass so much

i didn't say they were the CURRENT best team in the world but so far this year they are the most successful team. they have a regional tournament win and an international tournament win.
