LCQs

Prediction: The teams that people are underestimating so much will do insanely well in LCQ.

Navi in EMEA
SR in NA
AE in APAC (they have done it earlier too but still always been the underdogs)

genuinly curious for your reasons for the na and emea ones, seems like fairly unpopular picks

I think The Guard will do great in NA

SEN are being underestimated more than SR
a lot of people want SEN to win but its more from a place of copium then they actual think they will win, so I think they can surprise people

Actually for APAC, AE can make it. PRX Alecks and Mindfreak even discussed this back in Copenhagen that AE will win champs if they don’t encounter another ID teams like Onic and Boom. But we will see tomorrow how they do

I think for SR, since the org didn’t make it to franchise, maybe the players get more pumped up and did the unthinkable

based SR pick in NA, i like your style

AE has big potential, where can I see the discussion of alecks and mindfreak?

i feel like it would be the opposite tho, plus they are coming off of a 7-8 place so idk, its deffo possible but i have them ranked 6th rn

I watched sleepy's recent stream and alecks was in the chat. He mentioned he talked about how Mindfreak always saying AE is gonna win LCQ. For alecks, its a hot take for AE to win the lcq IF they dont face indo teams in their route

Yeah it's either they pop off or failed miserably

SR have always been really underrated (probably because they have the least clout out of all the NA teams). They have been one of the very few consistent teams in NA since last year, with the likes of XSET, Optic/envy etc. Other teams enter and leave the top 8 but LG has been there since long. I trust them.

Navi has also shown a lot of potential earlier in challengers, they have some really insane players in the form of cloud and 7ssk7. They also had a lot of time to practice and study other teams, I want them to do well

AE will defninitely do well in lcq, but will they win the whole thing? not sure bout that

Eg? 😢 Ok..

I have 100T vs SR in the finals
And AE making a good run (but not till finals)

BBL

No offense, but I struggle to see why people have so much faith in NAVI.
