lmfao

no americas pickems???

i mean sure but its also off season idk how serious they are taking sen invitational and ftwd

wdym? overrated for kickoff specifically? or just the roster isnt as good as people are saying?

😆😆

thats not what super team means it doesn't have to be assembled all at once its about the roster quality

yeah definitely the best roster on paper this year

he said he had watchparty rights for it but wouldn't make any promises for streaming all of it on his last stream

mfs acting like furia roster isnt good

dgz vs keznit first round holy cook

its bo1s bro anything can happen especially after roster moves

bump

fns prob on vacation gang i think sliggy and shanks will do this one though

title

vitality is just bbl with more firepower but sayo will have a adjustment period to tier 1 i actually have the most hope for this team over the course of the season but they wont be lifting trophies right away.

heretics is a sidegrade you cant confidently say they will be better this year

navi and kc have ?'s but maybe slightly upgraded hard to say

M8s is a full rebuild and im not familiar with coaching staff to be able to say if its an improvement

ulf sure

pcf sure

fut honestly i think will be better

gx sure but could improve a lot that roster is really good

fnc and tl lost their star players so i mean it has to be more than a bit

bbl will be a lot worse this season wont get near top 4 regionally

wdym how does a region improve??? pacific is stacked from top to bottom and has 1 team ppl don't think will be competitive but genuinely you could make a case for any team making champs and americas is a bit top heavy but the bottom came up quite a lot. emea is roughly the same as it was last year arguably worse with the loss of keiko

there is no way you deadass believe this bs 😭✌️

GE???? there is no way a roster with frost, autumn, patmen, and udotan is a free win lmao. nv and varrel are upset teams def not free wins and furia i think will be mid pack but maybe they will suck idk for sure. nova roster has potential but im not familiar with the coaching staff

enlighten me what am i missing with these rosters? i feel like the rich got poorer and everyone else got a bit better

im happy to be proven wrong but i do think ulf and pcfic will be free wins early on but generally speaking there arent many free win teams left maybe ts and tec

yeah its a risk but honestly im just glad invy is on a good team now

could be used in so many different contexts i cant make a judgement off of that if you can good for you

compared to pacific or americas the emea rosters are not very strong i don't think a single one could win a international this year

bro is capping his ass off lmfao

valyn

holy cook

honestly idc about sinatraa situation anymore its she said he said bs that nobody will ever know what actually happened hes clearly learned from it just get him in the league atp

tbh emea is pretty weak this year at least on paper so i could see this if they really tighten up their gameplay

honestly i dont think this is that big of a deal it means orgs wont need to invest as long as normal which would have been even worse this year considering how hard it is to make champs as a tier 2 team.

i want to see what the the general opinion is though, will a tier 2 from any league make champs this year?

ive been a tyloo believer but im slightly concerned by keeping yoyo and not changing coaching staff but the slowly x splash firepower is insane

furia wont be bad they will at the very least be lower mid pack

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/c501efc7

im kinda unsure of where i have most of these teams tbh

trialing glacier omg finally

still sad about satoshi hes really good idk why he couldn't perform on that team

frost recent spiketalk

gang he played most of 2024 with a wrist injury

why does everyone think this?

ALREADY PROVING HATERS WRONG

gang deryeon is on the roster

interesting that would make sense that they have found someone now since the spiketalk they said it in is pre recorded. its possible i guess for deryeon to still be 6th but they did say only 2 remain from GE last year and said deryeon is on the roster. as for roles i mean who knows they could be experimenting but the two players they said they wanted but couldnt get were smokes players in DH and wayne

recent spiketalk gang they said only 2 remain from GE last year and confirmed deryeon and kr1stal was on the pod

they wanted to get DH and wayne but TL got wayne last minute and T1 wont sell DH

dropped

lmfao

foxy9 just isnt good he required them to play in a very limited fashion to actually get value

invy is so much better than patmen you guys should be jumping up and down right now

Kr1stal
xavi8k
Autumn
Deryeon
+1

apparently they have a couple prospects in mind for the smokes role

hes extremely flexible, has unreal mechanics, always plays to win the round, and his util is really really good when hes on scan which i assume hes being signed for.

best player in pacific at least regionally

all 5 players now are world class in their role

kaajak gotta fix is slow starts hes very momentum based but when he gets going hes insane

hyunmin > kaajak
