Hiko, watched him play the beta. Next thing I know I got three computers trying to get the beta drop. here we are.

Have to appreciate how much they are willing to push the envelope on team comps. Also the first team I saw to play fade. If I’m wrong on that, tell me who else, they were just the first I personally saw

I really like it. Having a few matches on the weekends for a month is great, easier to watch than having big matches on thursday at 3pm

Really wanted this series to be towards the end of groups instead of the first one. Unlucky

Would be very down for the next map to be smaller

kinda miss him too. I remember losing my mind when he hit that jett knife from B site to arches on Breeze in the Acend comeback. That shit was so clean

derrek is such a good signing, an absolute beast, has definitely had some clutches too which is sick

I would love to see them be top 15 but idk if you can say that yet

I have hope but we gotta work on our map pool too. Also gotta stop doing dumb shit when we have spike planted and man advantage. Like you said though, they just need time for the players to mesh and work out the kinks

Don't see 100T winning it, make too many stupid mistakes in crucial moments. Almost lost them the Knights series, did lose them the TSM series. The roster has potential and all SEN coach jokes aside, I still think on an individual basis, they are better and will beat 100T. Sadge

tbf they were all doing some dumb shit

TBD or NYFU, who cares, 2-0

EZ 2-0 for 100T vs TBD

Happy for Ethan to get on a team but wouldn’t have expected android to be the person on this roster to make space

I like it honestly, requires jett to have to anticipate needing to dash rather than doing it reactively. I think that is where it needed to be

These moves have restored my hopium tank

Pain. Only pain.

BUMP

100T sadge

Facts. I am of the thought process that they should rebuild around ethan and asuna as it stands. I have been a 100T fan since Hiko announced on stream during the beta that he was joining, even before the PubG guys got signed. Unfortunately, this team is simply not going to be able to be a VCT contender. Might as well do it now and try to salvage challengers 2 or else they are gonna throw away the whole season

seeding match EZ

Yeah I wonder how that would work. Like if they qualify for Iceland would they even be able to go you think?

:)

Wait what happened to Stasis?

I'm gonna be down bad if we give up more than like 10 rounds

ive never met a 50 year old that uses emojis and types out "SHEEESH" idk

I am happy about this, punishing the players for actions at the top of their government accomplishes nothing

pain.

I would bet that within a week or two there are gonna be 3 more open slots on 100T sadge

I’m speechless

Couldn’t agree more tbh

A tale as old as time

Brain dead take tbh

If 100T actually gets Cned (which I still dont believe), think it would take a lot of the pressure off of Asuna and he would be much more likely to put some non duelist agents into his agent pool

I felt this

100t???

We remember but we try to forget. Those were tough days

We knew it was coming, but damn, hate this. Really liked nitro but if he thinks CSGO is better for him, can't be mad about that. GLHF sir you will be missed

no teams but holy you actually nailed both scores

thanks, couldnt remember if they had actually changed it for Champions, or if I read something on here where someone was saying they should change it. I understand the appeal, double elim = more matches but playoffs are supposed to be just a win or go home type of thing in my head

Are the playoffs for this tournament single elimination again or did they do double elimination this time around?

yes i did feelsbadman

I don't think that this is going to reduce smurfing as much as they think. If someone (we will say plat 2) was trying to boost someone (their Silver 1 friend), why would they use their main to boost them in a 5 stack with harder overall elo and longer queue times? They wouldn't want to risk their main's elo with their silver friends, even if the RR at risk is reduced. Idk seems like something that makes sense in theory but in practice won't really have the effect that they wanted

Didn't think about that, Asuna icebox ropes for sure

Pretty much always initiator if I can

Sova (main since Beta)
Skye (Split and Fracture only)

If not,
Sage/jett/omen, but much prefer initiators above

I laughed so hard when he said that lmao

I just don’t understand how this guy is on the roster, it’s like he thinks he’s just playing ranked

biased but feel like V1 beating XSET is way more likely than Rise beating 100T. Think that the 2 week break really plays to 100T's favor as it allowed more time to practice together as well as giving them time to potentially change up some of the strats that they showed on LCQ day 1. Hopefully I don't eat these words tonight

100T 2-0 hopium

Oof

Did it get buffed recently?

I am behind on my patch notes but feel like I have been seeing lots of pro players use it more often when they are streaming. I know it is just comp and they could be trolling but just seems random that it is being used more often
