thats a good example he plays it in the same way but hes much more comfortable and knowledgeable with all the little details of yoru
im really not down on fnatic i just dont think they dominated their region even though it kinda seems like it based on upper and grand final. the reason i have a little lower is im worried that starting in playoffs will hurt them more then it helps them, had they started in groups i would have them a lot higher tbh.
hes a yoru specialist not a fragger he plays more of a supportive role in the team rather then a fragger
nah i didnt even watch ewc qualifiers, the low defense winrate is just based on all of split 1 they have about a 36% defense winrate across all maps and a 60% attack winrate which is the last thing you want against GenG who is defense sided team with the gamble stacks based on tendencies. and yeah i wouldnt say the g2 bo5 was close either imo if you consider sen a stomp then g2 bo5 is also a stomp. btw im not a brazil hater as much as it probably seems like it i genuinely want them to do well.
i agree but i actually think the tejo nerfs favor them and i think their map pool is fixable. also if serial gets comfortable they become scary asf. also they start groups against worse competition it lets them get warm.
i hope they prove me wrong for brazils sake....
8th as low as i can place them homie
i think wolves have much more potential then blg and i dont think they were giving 100% after they qualified to masters tbh that or they just forgot how they played the previous day but we will see. i also think being CN 3rd makes teams more likely to overlook you if that makes sense like they tend to be underrated and good for a upset.
i did not expect a nice message thanks man
what i mean is like teams who cant place below 8th wont be.
have extra prep time starting in playoffs, proven they can adapt to multiple metas, obviously the most consistent team this year. just a cold take sorry to be boring
assuming patmen gets his visa i have a ton of faith, the turn around in playoffs was impressive you can already see the impact a new player and mini helping behind the scenes has had but going into a comfort meta and being viewed as a bit of a underdog will only help them this event has them written all over it especially with sunset coming back and jinggs return to form
best haven itw they can honestly lean on it and it will get them deep but i expect them to benefit more from the tejo changes and really come with some good ideas with how proven the coaching staff is atp
china as a whole is gonna be underrated this event but this team is getting a upgrade and has has the longest time to prep, their system is very plug and playable i dont expect the -you to hurt them much at all and rarga is so good people who dont know will know after this event and fracture was one of xlg's worse maps so they benefit from the map pool change as well
i kinda understand why people are down on liquid because they got rinsed by heretics in a bo5 and serial hasnt adapted to his role yet but yes well their map pool is weak if they can fix it up a bit they have such powerhouse maps already that it becomes so much harder to target weak points plus they have a very good meta read. i think they will surprise a lot of people just because of how low expectations seem to be.
the tejo nerf does fuck up their roles a bit but i think kaplan is good enough to find what works for them quickly and sentinels has always been a highly individualistic team so as long as they can lean on zekken and 1 other to pull them over the line i think its pretty safe to assume they can get here. they also benefit from fracture out.
probably a little lower then most but i feel like the way in which they won emea still gives me doubts, i think they would have benefited a lot from playing in groups just to get kaajak used to international stage but without that im a little worried for him and for some reason teams in emea dont know how to veto against them and always pick lotus or icebox into them for some reason even though their ascent is awful. i just think its too early for this team to expect them to be competing for the trophy, i could see them getting a win though.
the way they won split 1 was extremely close on a different day they would have got 3-0d by paper rex and skipping groups is also rough for this new of a team especially with their pressure troubles in the past. they heavily rely on jemkin and i just dont think that will work against this level of opponents at least not for more then a series. also a big abuser of tejo that hasnt proven they can adapt to metas.
a huge ? for most probably putting them at 12 but this team has insane firepower and the peaks this roster can reach are very high they just need to be consistent which is easier said then done but with the opposition they have in groups i believe they will be able to get a upset.
them being here is a fluke they are not in form and you already know they are going to revert to old 2024 meta which all these teams will have figured out. I think they have a very good stylistic match up against mibr so they have to be 10th for me but in a vaccum i would put them last. the only positive for them i guess is fracture going out but they will probably just perma ban sunset anyway.
extremely low defense winrate, got stomped by the other teams from their region, very inexperienced team, and a bad first round match up. only good thing is fracture leaving.
just arent good. they pretty much are rrq but if they had bad calling and a weak map pool. the only postive you could have for them going into this is they should be able to get 1 map from liquid just with how their map pool match up.
probably gonna trigger a ton of people with this but idc
yeah bro t1 were the best team itw for 1 day congrats
lil bra had to runback the ragebait attempt honestly respect id do the same shit
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I USED THE WRONG YOUR ON VLR FUCKKKKK MAKES EVERYTHING I SAID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE WHAT EVER WILL I DO.... 0/8 ragebait
its not apart of the circuit = teams dont care thats all your saying here bro could have summed that up in a sentence. sure yeah teams who do well could be negatively impacted for split 2 but they will still try to win a trophy and prize pool of that size teams arent going to save strats unless your like g2 or a team with champs locked in there is no reason to not try just for a better chance at possibly making champs. if you believe that your slow.
im just saying bo5 with no lower bracket isnt a mickey format the better teams will win bo5s
atp i dont see how you can argue ewc isnt as prestigious as a masters. literally the only justification you can take is the format isnt very good.
yes blg map pool plays well into liquid. whzy needs to nuke on multiple maps tho.
guys you can make the most stacked tier 2 talent roster of all time but if you arent kicking goked your season is done PLEASE KICK THAT FRAUD
blud oxy is on the 5 year contract he aint leaving unless c9 get that mega bag
envy replacements if they make franchised. obv canezerra and ion cant play so.
demon1 (perma iso)
wedid (smokes)
did i cook?
i dont want us to be favorites lmao we play better with less pressure. but its generally the most accepted take ive seen is what im saying everyone agrees they are good
karon is a anomaly. kaajak is a proven onliner. also karon lost his first international.
i feel like this masters basically has one conclusion going in and its g2 are favorites besides this the amount of varied takes im seeing is kinda crazy.
personally i feel like paper rex and liquid are being underrated massively and the 1st seeds like rrq, fnatic are being overrated. some rosters like fnatic are built to win regionally but they arent winning internationals kaajak is too inexperienced to expect this from their first international same with rrq. am i high for thinking this? i feel like it should be a pretty lukewarm take.
zekken is ass
bro literally has screenshots of these teams being in matchfixing rings what are you talking about???
its gonna be a comfort meta but i do think deadlock will see the biggest rise in pick rate
These people are messing with you
The "th" in "birthday" is an unvoiced sound (like in think, thing, thick), not voiced (like in this, that).
Put the tip of your tongue lightly between your teeth. Blow air out gently while keeping your tongue in place.
It should sound like a soft hiss
Practice with similar words: think, thin, tooth, thanks
The ‘th’ in birthday is the same sound as in think or thank you.
dude why are you trying to put words in my mouth and have such a hard time understanding what im saying. at least you have the critical thinking skills to admit the level of play changes with time so thats a start. my point is well yes tenz performance and old trophies are important for the time and impressive for the time as the league continues to get better these things become less relevant when discussing primes or best teams because the level was so low in comparison and yes its bound to happen even now in 5 years the level of play were at will be childs play in comparison. it doesnt take anything away from the achievements or effort players put in now but you arent going to be like in 2029 and say yeah remember when tenz nuked a tournament full of plumbers who struggled to trade him yeah i bet you if you put him up against players now he would drop the same stat lines and be the best player itw. you literally agreed with this in one of the posts above me if you believe tenz 2024 > tenz 2021 (its a fact he evolved as a player) then you inherently agree with everything im saying (because by every metric on paper its worse). im not trying to discredit these performances at the time they were the best its just a different game now and those stat lines arent possible anymore.
blud your reading comprehension is embarrassing i literally agree with this and said as much as comparing tenz 2022-2023 to demon1 2024-current both were misued and then as you saw with tenz when you put a competent team together you will get the best out of these players they most of the time dont just magically become shit.
demon1 is misused and also doesnt try according to his coaches anymore. demon1 is a passive aimer more suited to playing on a island or solo anchor position but for some reason these fucking idiot coaches think AH YES DEMON1 DUELIST HAHAH LETS SIGN HIM TO PLAY ASPAS AND JAWGEMO ROLE and then act surprised when he isnt a good entry on anything other then jett. i promise you if you got him a decent team with some chem, and he got to play exclusively jett, iso, brim, and astra you would see 2023 demon1 again. players can have down years even tenz had down years it can be a lot of other things other then just not being good. also 2023 wasnt plumber but it also wasnt to level teams are now (there were like 5-6 good teams in 2023)
newton invented the concept of laws of gravity not that it didnt exist before hand we just didnt understand it in the same way regardless this example doesnt have any correlation. and yes this argument is just true the level of competition when mj was in his prime is nowhere close to the level of the league when lebron was in his prime this argument is just true its a fact just the same as when tenz won in 2021 the level is nowhere close to what it is today. it doesnt make the achievement less impressive in the moment but all you gotta do is look at the teams who won in 2021 and look at where the players are now. even the ones that looked insane at the time (cned) is struggling in t2 now the game has just gotten harder we will never see numbers like tenz or yay levels for a long time and they werent just gods among men it was a level of competition difference you could drop prime yay into 2025 he would go negative unlike the whole of 2022.
happy to be proven wrong but im right about this 😭 im not gonna change anyones mind just by yapping on vlr they obviously feel differently for a reason. teams can also improve its not like they have to play the same i feel this way because of everything ive seen thus far.
bro this is zellsis word. zombs won a trophy dude its NOT impressive he was good yes and everyone else wasnt. all people are trying to say when this is their argument is the stats are inflated because of the level of competition (its the same as the mj argument). tenz actual prime was last year but because the stats werent as high and he wasnt the best player on his team it doesnt look that way on paper. comparing inventors to esports and sports players is stupid tenz didnt invent how to play good valorant bro 😭😭😭
yeah bro you cant act like they failed with the same roster with the same conditions they imploded at bangkok and then picked up a shit replacement for a player who had immense impact in getting them to that level in the first place.
