kills any integrity of the match, the only reason it got to that point was because of the tech pause lmao, look at the liquid vs PRX game they didn't need to kick a pc for that

2023 LA champs

ZETA vs NRG tech pause that kills ZETA's momentum letting NRG get map one and then steam roll map 2 to set up the rematch against BLG

2025 Toronto

GenG vs FNC type shi

He is secondary calling and still fragging above EU farmer k00j0k

dude ur only team is about to go 0-2 why u even speak

So bro is the only one who isn't a EU farmer? kekekekeke my goat is back even on the losing team

Personally I would call a tech pause for a couple of hours for Zekken's Adderall to run out

For all of the SEN fanboys and some of the n4rrate words out there, here's my breakdown of why I think the game went how it went.

• SEN have more matches to actually test out plays and strats before going into playoffs (why both XLG and G2 lost their opening games).
• People who say that XLG trolled with the map picks have to be dumb, split is their perma ban and sunset is one of the best neon maps in the game. Plus if they didn't pick sunset then SEN would've chosen it anyways. Also haven is one of their best maps which got banned.
• New player (can't really be an excuse atp but gonna still throw it out)

Why they picked SEN in the first place

• Wanted to respect Wolves and not cause another EDG situation
• Can easily see the mistakes they made against the other Chinese teams and use that
• Who tf is picking GenG

TLDR: Zekken Adderall (only valid reason they won)

People who purposely disconnect because they got a shit comp after instalocking a duelist or just don't want to play against the enemy team should get a worse penalty then just an afk/dodge penalty because why tf does this keep happening.

SEN OR PRX (fnc for me only because sentinelmain)

People don't know nothing about bad tourneys, Chichoo was one of the worst players on EDG during Madrid and Shanghai then came back and absolutely dominated everyone in Seoul and Bangkok

WOLVES 2-0 GENG

Wouldn't have gotten to this point if penny played map 2

Redgar was IGL for gambit and Jamppi for 23

we can pull for Americas/Asia timezone event

So the first year of franchising compared against the third year? seriously funny how you think this is a good comparison lmao. Also not mentioning Tokyo either? lmao this shit just the most biased thing ever.

Seoul champs had so many chinese viewers because of EDG's run
Bangkok and LA are basically 2 years apart and the addition of china happened after LA so idk what to tell you lmao

The amount of people who are just blindly agreeing with you is crazy thought this was common knowledge

But… but… Seoul was a flu-k-ke!!!! China is only a one team region!!! Our saviors team heretics will surely win Toronto!!!

Nrg got 4th at Tokyo and PRX got 3rd at Madrid? This is just cope for TH being a shit team

So how they gonna decide who gets the best airplane seat? Surely wo0t doesn’t get first class for that absolute disasterclass despite being the most hyped player right?

And people didn’t believe it when I said EMEA was the worst 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The random homeless guy that I come across

Rito didn't want people to think that their shit was scripted so they didn't make GenG play against the Chinese second seed after playing the Americas third seed just like Shanghai knowing that they will most definitely beat them and then have TH play the Chinese third seed and then the Chinese second seed again just like Shanghai.

Dawg what... BLG was literally the best team in their group and Wolves had very good showings wtf you mean "nobody pred both teams to even make it to int"

So where were you when TH got both Chinese teams for their initial and qualifying match in the swiss stage during Shanghai? Surely it must be rigged for them too wouldn't it be? Can't believe the amount of brainless apac fans on this post lol

Dawg there's one Korean team at this tournament, and T1 their superteam didn't even make top 6 in their regional playoffs.

Jawgemo struggling to go positive against 100T and EG yet people have him as one of the best players in the world

Or maybe it's because everyone finds it funny that yall sold 4 grand finals

So by your logic then any team that got the chinese teams would have a free playoff ticket... but I know you wouldn't be saying this shit if your region got it lmao.

Hot take but MAGNUM has shown his worth on BBL, if they replace him with chiwa VIT should pick him up and let him play initiator

His weird comp was literally the only reason why PRX got close to beating GenG on Ascent, they should've won it if PRX stopped throwing rounds. Look at them when they run a meta comp on icebox they get absolutely shut down.

Sure sayf's IGLing does weigh down the team but then again Derke was 4th on his team in stage 1, any other duelist even with a shit IGL will still not be that low on their team if they are considered to be one of the best.

Derke has a longer history of being at the top than kaajak who has had only one good event so far and without a history

bruh why is it pac vs pac again dawg like surely they can just do SEN vs one of them and BLG vs one of them, why they just giving pacific a guaranteed pass into playoffs.

Could make a compilation with how many bo5s TH has lost over the years

aren't you the same guy who makes the most controversial takes on this site

They literally said that crashies is mid rounding hence why boaster is shooting back more during the game and after crashies started doing that they look 10 times better than last year.

Serial could easily replace nAts agent pool but yeah he's nowhere near as good as the sentinel goat

Penny is top 2 on this team and would be a better duelist replacement than kamo lmao and people were saying that they were at a disadvantage with a sub, team just sucks

That's what he's saying dawg... How can penny be a rising star when he was already in the spotlight before lmao. You wouldn't say Victor is a rising star if he played in tier 2 and came back to tier 1.

I'm confused how do you know this is kaajak? wouldn't 26 be way too early of a number considering all of the EMEA teams qualified last?

Still better than SEN, PRX, and LOUD, at least our fans only say that shit when something goes down, SEN, PRX, and LOUD fans are like that all of the time or are just annoying asf.

If the oldest member and the leader of the squad is going to be stressing out in 5 grand finals and not the young rookies that really says something about him

Cherry picking stats in the big 25 🥀 how downbad are TH fans lmao

I did

Benjy was TH's worst player at both LANs they made a serious run in lmao

I know, there was a cheater on the enemy team lmao. I'm just saying we weren't going to win that especially with a thrower on our team.

There was a brainless zellsis word on the team being an asshole to everyone who wanted to ff after round 4 when we were up 3-0, so yeah we weren't going to win that.

Understandable for higher ranks idk why they didn't add this into lower ranks

just hopped back on, got a notification that a cheater was banned in my previous game, hopped into a game, didn't get my rr back, only got 1 refund this entire act. Riot what doing?

mitch has better calls and has better aim so idk why you wouldn't pick him over nature

This is the dumbest question ever, it's like saying DFM was good in the off season and that their regular season record doesn't show how good they actually are lmao. LOUD literally rehauled their roster, they have not shown anything and if you're going to say they are going to be top 6 after a horrible performance in the first stage that's a crazy statement.
