sorry i shouldve said i like boys or something

prx field benkai in the grand finals instead of something. he plays reyna on all the maps and drops 150 across the 4 map series and prx win. cgrs and something stand up from the crowd. benkai then says to them "get benkaid on" and its finally revealed to us that benkai is the ceo of prx. haters say im trolling 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Edg grouped fut make top6

MINE ARE:
t1 make a run, ending in 4th place. carpe would be talked as one of the best initiators in the game after this champs.
fnatic flop in playoff, ending up somewhere between 6-8, losing to EDG and LOUD
kangkang awp masterclass bringing EDG into 3rd place and dominating over LOUD and FNATIC, will have the top 3 stats in the tournement
zeta will win one game over NRG/FNC in groups but will lose the rest
NRG 2nd, ardiis to have really bad whiff in a 1v2 situation

Keep the same energy when loud is getting grouped

TL makes grand finals after a controversial run: Loud gets DQed in groups

I think FNATIC gonna go 3/3 this year.

If they were in any other group than group B, yes. But this group? NO WAY.

FUT is winning champs

DRX goes on a run and finally secure a trophy.. it wasnt a hot take earlier this year but with their recent performance now it is

Navi get out of groups

EDG, FPX, BLG get grouped. Loud and Navi get grouped.

number1_cNed_fan [#4]

cNed killjoy will dominate the whole tourney

damn the commitment of this guy

NRG grouped

Not 1st match but in later matches fnatic will get 2-0ed to get eliminated from the tournament.

Ardiis goes back to his last year form and has a life tournament

Navi finishes top4 , prx not in top 6

edg reach finals

nrg will attend the tournament

hekzy [#41]

No, as in it's not a hot take

Prx win whole tournament
Jinggg MVP
New world record for kills goes to something against FNC

Thats what people said abt prx in 2022 during champs.
Second place curse is real

Hot take: EDG vs BLG finals

Master_oGgway [#67]

Thats what people said abt prx in 2022 during champs.
Second place curse is real

nah that was the group of death, nobody expected prx to lose as they were top 2 last tourney but still it was way more expected than this time with eg being on a group full of teams they are supposed to beat

FUT qual to playoffs

NA vs APAC/CN FINALS

Asian team takes home their first every int trophy

PRX are worse with something than with CGRS

1. EDG grouped
2. doombros run deadlock yoru breach brimstone and neon comp on ascent and loses 0-13

Giants win champions

ppl keep saying FUT for their hot take
so imma say giants (even tho giants are decent)

Blg goes through and nrg gets grouped? Idk

EDG win

blg beat nrg and fnatic

adilKhan [#26]

This is kinda cold ngl, probably lukewarm but yeah

Well which is it make up your mind, it isn't lukewarm, liquid is probably favourite in group d and fut has a good chance in their group against t1. If this was a 90 50 10 I'd put no-one EMEA getting out of groups other than fnatic a 10

ZettGundam [#56]

damn the commitment of this guy

gotta respect that

Laz drops 50 as Chamber to beat FNC

samhatts [#79]
