NA last chance qualifier

Just some thoughts about NA lcq

If this is a LAN with crowd, I think that SEN actually have a pretty decent shot to go deep, they have the most LAN experience among all the teams in LCQ and their side of the bracket is a cupcake compared to the other side

I have no trust in C9 right now to do anything in LCQ, I mean they're losing to Soniqs and playing it close with T2 teams like NYFU and TSMA, it might just be because they're experimenting with comps and maps but god damn you're C9, you should be better than this

Whoever comes out of the side of the bracket with FaZe, EG, NRG and 100T is 100% making it out of LCQ

I expect 100Thieves to come into this tourney hot as fuck, Bang is finally bootcamping and they should incredibly rapid improvements mid tournament during challengers 2, so much that they had people legitimately thinking they could make it to Copenhagen

FaZe may take a step back, I don't know if Dicey's insane challengers 2 performance can be replicated, but if they can keep the same form then they are an absolute favorite to make it to champs

LAN w/ crowd:
SR and TGRD 7-8th
C9 and EG 5-6th
SEN 4th
NRG 3rd
Toss up between FaZe and 100T for 1st

online:
SEN and SR: 7-8th
C9 and EG: 5th-6th
TGRD 4th
NRG 3rd
Toss up between FaZe and 100T for 1st

go ahead and roast me if you disagree idgaf I'm just dumping my thoughts

SR didn't impress me in chall 2 playoffs and I don't expect a major change in that right now

I have either Faze or 100T going to champs a well, either ways gonna be a banger of a tournament

putting my college savings on SR winning now don't blow this for me

Good investment

I have no trust in C9 right now to do anything in LCQ, I mean they're losing to Soniqs

tbf they had a standin against Soniqs

also TGRD is losing to Soar and Darkzero with their main roster so I think it's unfair to put them above C9 online or not

And lan experience isn't really that important IMO. Sentinels have a 28 year old twitch streamer on their main team so I'll be shocked if they as much as win a single match. Also if you want to talk about lan experience it's worth it to bring up that Shroud was an onliner in CS

Also Shopify Rebellion in 7-8th is just plain ignorance IMO

I think you’re counting out SR a bit too soon. In Challengers 2 Playoffs (which is when they played their best imo), they had 1 close series with FaZe (ended on a 14-12), lost that, and was disqualified. They might not win but they can easily make it past 7th-8th

Wait so there is a chance LCQ could be LAN?

I have no idea so I was just counting all possibilities, if I didn’t think there would be a difference between LAN and online performance I wouldn’t have bothered to make the difference
