What have I been saying literally since their loss at masters 1. People KEEP UNDERRATING THIS DAMN TEAM AND THESE SICK ASS PLAYERS.
Ps. don't give me the practice excuse, Trent on LAN got 39 kills against a team with fucking Sacy, Pancada, Zekken, Tenz, and Dephh on it (and a decent portion of those kills were unsupported). You can't still be undermining this guy's talent.
pps. that typo in the title will haunt me for 3 million years
Dokka [#3]There were totally valid reasons to doubt the guard after Iceland and the second split.
What they're doing now is changing the narrative and I love to see it
I agree but people were still hating on them after their LCQ performance (which was pretty damn amazing I'd say). It made 0 sense.
G2ShahZaM [#5]guard fans might be worse than skrossi fans
I don't claim gamr, the rest of us are alright. It's just nice to feel vindicated after I had so many people last year shit on me supporting them.
dexter000111 [#9]Honestly, we didn't even see Guard in full form today. Besides trent going bonkers, I think all other players have room for improvement, especially Tex and neT. They're beating franchised teams this early on, it's a good sign coz they have more potential rn
Exactly! Plus they didn't have anywhere near the coordination they showed in masters 1 and LCQ last year. I bet they'll be able to reach that form again if not better with sentinel actually being meta again bc that suits their original composition a lot more.

Dude I took a break from this site and as soon as I get back, I see that guy posting the stupidest shit with a guard flair. Like acting arrogant and all this stuff. Made me pissed ngl especially since he was nowhere to be found during all the downs of TGRD last year.
Cayub [#14]imagine thinking The Farce is a good team lmao
Boring + badly made analogy. Go back to calling them Gourd or something.

Some of the things he's said recently after guard does well:
"really expected result, unsurprising tbh."
(The Guard unveil 2023 roster, adding tex, JoshRT in News)
"shits gonna be free"
(NEW GUARD ROSTER ESTA AQUI in General Discussion)
"I’m gonna blow my brains out if the guard somehow doesn’t win ascension"
I'm not trying to gatekeep being a guard fan bc I love the team, but I'd prefer to be associated with people who don't make other fans hate TGRD's fanbase
LouBag [#19]The guard have 1 star. They are like old xset before they got Cryo.
A good team with good fundamentals but not enough star power to carry them to anything but “top 10 team in NA”
You don't think Tex/Valyn have the ability to be godlike players?

Yeah he's like Qwertyy but for Guard
I don't hate the guy but I think other Guard fans are a lot more respectful, even when someone has negative takes about their team.

I wasnt here cuz I didn’t have a VLR account. Go fuck yourself lmao. I made my account right before LCQ but I’ve watched them since Ro32 Stage 1

Lmao stfu. Where were YOU? You were nowhere to be seen when people were shitting on The Guard. If I’m going to be honest, I’m more of a Guard fan than you are.

vro is stalking me
zardinez [#21]You don't think Tex/Valyn have the ability to be godlike players?
Joana P is underrated but not a star
Tex had his chance. he just isnt it.
Trent is on track to be a star.
Vayln has a shot at being something special.
Net Who?
I would be surprised to see them win ascension.
they are one of 5 teams in the mix.

the other ones is just riding his team, which alot of people do that, most are baiting.
and who are you to say what is a dumb opinion or not lol, so everything that you think is not true is dumb?

he’s a plastic fan, he doesn’t know what it means to be a delusional guard fan like me. That’s fine with me, but it’s annoying as hell that he tries to act like he’s the face of all guard fans or whatever bullshit.

Go spread the word about TGRD on HLTV then, have fun there

Go check MCE's vlr responses, I'm very much not a plastic fan and I don't pretend like I speak for all guard fans. I've always only spoken for myself.
gamr [#29]don’t care + u disappeared and only came back when The Guard achieved something. Plastic af just like most NA VAL fans
LMFAOOO I was literally the guy mCe called the last guard flair on VLR during that masters 2 challengers split. Of all the people to accuse of being plastic fans, I ain't one. Ask any of the older members.

where were you during the off-season lmao.

doesnt matter if you were the last guard flair during stage 2 if you weren't there during the off-season or LCQ
gamr [#39]doesnt matter if you were the last guard flair during stage 2 if you weren't there during the off-season or LCQ
Damn you missed out on my LCQ storytime I'm sorry for you. That was a truly epic post.
zardinez [#40]Damn you missed out on my LCQ storytime I'm sorry for you. That was a truly epic post.
i definitely saw you in the forums at the start of LCQ but I didn't see you a single time from c9-100t

I think with their chemistry, they definitely have a good chance. I don't think it's a shoe-in for them by any means; M80 in particular will likely be a strong competitor. That being said, I think Trent + Valyn are the best initiator and smoke igls left to play in ascension, so that's gonna be a big advantage. Losing Saya and mCe was obviously a big blow to them, but I bet Tex and JoshRT will fill their place pretty well in a month or so.
h9zard [#37]At least let them win a BO3 against SEN before all this overreaction. It was a triple OT BO1 win. Trent is insane. Thats known. But saying the team is too underrated is just cap. They literally almost lost to T1 in a BO3.
If anything it's T1 almost lose 0-2 to Guard, 11-13, 13-7, 13-7, map 2 and 3 aren't even close
gamr [#41]i definitely saw you in the forums at the start of LCQ but I didn't see you a single time from c9-100t
I guarantee you I was here. And if I wasn't, it's because I was travelling or got busy with finals.
zardinez [#44]I guarantee you I was here. And if I wasn't, it's because I was travelling or got busy with finals.
I predicted Guard to win from the beginning, and wrote a good post about how I hoped they would win the final (which sadly they got demolished in), but eh it happens.
