The delusion has never been crazier no? Ever since the addition of JohnQT they literally haven't dropped a series even during the AfreecaTV tournament that included DRX and even PRX whom were a top 3 team last year, and yet there are a people out there that are in complete and sad as fuck denial that they won't remain a top team during Kick Off lol.
They're literally the best team in the world right now, that's a completely objective take by the way don't get it wrong here, they had the strongest showing during the currently ongoing offseason in both offline and online practice like I genuinely do not understand the doubt thats directed towards this roster. Saying teams like NRG are gonna be better than SEN make quite literally no sense whatsoever when we haven't even seen them do shit during the off season besides lose scrims which has been actually bad for them since those scrims are to build team chemistry since they're a new roster, yet all they've done is lose lol.
"oh but but but but TenZ is playing over Pancada! ! ! thats BAD ! ! ! 11" Pancada looked like ass last year and its very clear to see that he fluked his way into a Champs MVP especially when he has never been relevant before or after that tournament. Comparing him to TenZ who's been a top tier player across a variety of metas since this game's existence is an absolutely shameless insult.
Don't even get me started on how dumb as fuck the "oooooh butt bu ut b utt he wasn' t t t on his MAIN RO L E!!!" argument is when its a straight up necessity for a pro player to be flexible. Him consistently shitting the bed on KJ for an entire year can't just be magically forgotten because he couldn't play Omen for the billionth time, and to top it all off, Pancada himself was the one who stated that he hated playing smokes on stream multiple times, then he got his wish and did nothing but choke lol.
You guys seriously think kaplan decided "oh lets put our world champion controller on KJ duty bc why not" like what, the idiot probably protested against the role that carried him thinking he's a good enough pro to at least flex a new role, which all led to their OTHER world champion Brazilian Sacy to be put on controller duty for no reason fucking up the entire team dynamic. Pancada is a plague for this team both in and out of matches.
TenZ has been playing out of his mind so far on Omen and looks way stronger than Pancada has ever been, and yet sadly there's still a lot of people out there blowing their load from his past shortcomings as if they aren't ancient history yet lol. Only team in Americas rn that look strong besides SEN are LEV, every other team is either riding off of pure cope and delusion (NRG) or got massively nerfed (LOUD).
