watched sliggoo pickens and i have to agree (not with his choice but the logic)
on a player level geng have the edge right now
but the real decider will be boaster + coaches to cook something up with all the extra time they had as an advantage, geng have the most maps played out of every team in shanghai rn. if they don’t figure out some insane anti strat (esp with mini there) they are frauds
donkkomong [#3]If Leo Alfajer Chronicle performs, it should be good enough to win with Derke playing mediocre and Boaster just being Boaster.
against most other teams i would agree but not against geng, they’re like one of 3 teams that have comparable firepower
derke needs to plug in his mouse for this game if they don’t cook something good

Haha yea I kind of agree with that too. I hope Derke pops off again when it counts
sad_gambit_fan [#7]both fnc and geng got to know they play each other at the same time
so idk why u guys think GENG will just play the same but FNC are somehow expected to have crazy anti strats
because fnatic have been chilling in shanghai this entire time while geng have played two 3 map series fighting for their life lol
obviously geng can make adaptations any team would but the amount of available time is not the same, not even comparable
Agx192 [#4]If somehow fnc can get icebox lotus and bind as the map pool they can win
lowkey i think fnc will try to take them to breeze, their no cypher comp is probably exploitable. map is too dam big

the time fnc got time that CANT be used to anti
but geng got some good stage experience
its really team to team on waht they prefer
just dont get why community narrative is FNC are going to be better preped for geng when they both got to know they play each at the same time
babysasuke [#2]Fnatic just gonna sit in corners and try to out discipline (they will lose)
holy shit you are on a roll today, good takes after another

let’s break it down
fnatic last match - 17 days ago
geng last match - 3 days ago
yes they both realized who they’re playing at the same time
who do you think is going to be able to anti more effectively? i’ll give you a hint: the older a match is, the more time that team has had to change away from their strategies used back then

ah yes FNC the team that are known for changing things up
also even if they do end up changing strats , it isnt anti?
and neither teams arent known for relying on antis so just overall a bad way to look at this matchup

changing your strats is not anti, it makes it more difficult for the enemies to anti. understandable?
you keep saying they’re on equal grounds when it comes to prep, they are not
nutab1e [#15]beating gen g pretty much depends on if you can farm munchkin on the push so I think fnatic has a good chance honestly
munchkin will 4-1 split into the twerker every round and catch him off guard

The thing is geng get better the more they play
HenBabyH [#11]holy shit you are on a roll today, good takes after another
someone has to balance out your takes
fnatic havent cooked anything good since 2023 lock//in. They used the same comps and strats througout 23 and kickoff, changed their breeze and split (which are not up to snuff when it comes to top teams) so i doubt theyll cook anything. More than likely texture will shit all over them, boaster will start twerking with 2 kills, derke will still be called washed, and leo will drop 30 to win one map
