The worst team going into Bangkok?
gamergirl [#3]t1 and sen both went 5 maps, trace was definitely the team that was furtherst from their #1 seed
trace BEAT edg what the hell are you talking about
KyLZi [#6]no bad teams at bangkok really
there is always a worst team doesnt mean they're bad tho, it just isnt sentinels lmfao

I know. that was not my intention. just adding to the conversation.

What? Trace and EDG are probably the closest teams we've seen so far
Conceit [#13]What? Trace and EDG are probably the closest teams we've seen so far
drx and t1 are the closest teams, by rounds and just the eye test so what youre saying is just not true
i find it much more likely that edg just needed a wakeup call than trace actually being on that level, and the grand finals wasnt as close as you make it seem
SEN vs G2 went to map 5, and map 5 was 13-10 for g2 with a double pistol, that series was also closer for sentinels than edg vs trace was for trace
just telling you the facts, nobody is calling trace bad if it makes you feel better
gamergirl [#11]i feel like edg proved that that 2-0 was an outlier
Trace EDG only lasted 6 rounds less than the sen G2 series with one less map, definetly wasnt an outlier and they were one insane kangkang play away from winning bind and abyss went to triple overtime

trace losing to edg after winning double pistols then losing 13-4 is just not a good look for them,
sentinels and t1 actually won two maps bro
gamergirl [#24]trace losing to edg after winning double pistols then losing 13-4 is just not a good look for them,
sentinels and t1 actually won two maps bro
and trace actually won a series bro
Alzi [#26]and trace actually won a series bro
i already told you why i dont think that series matters much to edg, they looked infinitely better in the rematch, was just a wakeup call
if you think edg cared 1000% about that match and trace just own them, surely theyd have won more than one map in the grand finals???

What the fuck are you yapping about. Two maps went ot and one map was 11-13 the game was very close. Did you even watch the game? EDG were the worse team on Abyss, they only barely won it because Nobody went insane mode going +20 and it was still 14-16. Also Trace dominated EDG before, like it wasn't close. They're the only team so far that lost the grand finals that had already beaten the team they lost to. Just cause the grand finals didn't go 5 maps doesn't mean the teams aren't close.

okay and by your logic EDG was an OT away from 3-0ing trace
see how your logic is retarded?
stop replying

trace almost won 3-0 i believe in them

Man I haven't seen some argue in such bad faith in a while. What kind of response is that pal? We both know that's not what I said. I said their maps were more competitive than any other grand finals and they also beat them before. So cool it with the strawmans and come up with an actual argument, or stop replying
Divine_Thunder [#30]?? sen literally went 2-3 against thanos2 which hasnt lost a single map this time
that GF was SEN's ceiling vs G2's floor

yes they 100% cared about that game? youre retarded if you think a top team isnt trying their ass off every game especially against another top regional team
your logic is horrible man youre just agenda posting theres no point replying

i see, so when trace wins in OT, its fine but when EDG does, trace almost wins? not to mention one of EDGs OT wins came with trace winning double pistol lmfao
china fans try not to be biased vs edg challenge
just wrap it up bro,
you can run back the sentinels and g2 series 10 times, sentinels will always make it to map 5 and be 3 rounds away from winning that, trace will most likely always lose map 3 and 4 and be 50/50 on map 1 and 2

you really think trace would 26-8 edg in an elimination or finals match?
are you serious?
edg just came off of a champs win, they definitely just needed a slap in the face to get serious
ParodyAccount [#33]that GF was SEN's ceiling vs G2's floor
No lol. G2 got both map bans and extra prep time while SEN had 3 games in 3 days. SEN can play better with more prep time and with better map priority, and G2 got tested for the first time but stepped up and closed it out. Both teams are really good (I still think G2 is the best itw rn), and both teams have the ability to make a run at Bangkok

you havent watched a single china game all year keep my glorious region out of your mouth
ParodyAccount [#33]that GF was SEN's ceiling vs G2's floor
Lol sen hadn't even played 2 maps before
If anything this was sen's floor vs g2's ceiling, G2 had almost perfect game. Sen had less time to antistrat, shown more maps (2-1 series and an extra map played), had map ban disadvantage. Still if you wanna write them off sure go ahead.
Alzi [#41]you havent watched a single china game all year keep my glorious region out of your mouth
watched trace get shit on by edg in the finals
gamergirl [#43]watched trace get shit on by edg in the finals
trace more maps won vs EDG than m8's entire season
Alzi [#44]trace more maps won vs EDG than m8's entire season
m8s wouldnt lose to regional edg who dont gaf about a grand finals because they just won champs and already qualifed to bangkok
while trace begging for their first trophy and got mentally mogged

they lost to fnatic who stopped caring after masters tokyo thats worse
enjoy ascencion next year robbieburgerking and friends

holy shit you're retarded. the point they're making is that the maps were close. if edg won 3-0 but all 3 maps were close, that wouldn't have any bearing on the point they were trying to make
Alzi [#46]they lost to fnatic who stopped caring after masters tokyo thats worse

sadly we dont play in china or wed have a free second place and champs qual </3
Alzi [#7]trace BEAT edg what the hell are you talking about
everyone has beat edg 2-0 in uppers and edg always come back in lowers and wins it all
Suiiiiiii [#42]Lol sen hadn't even played 2 maps before
If anything this was sen's floor vs g2's ceiling, G2 had almost perfect game. Sen had less time to antistrat, shown more maps (2-1 series and an extra map played), had map ban disadvantage. Still if you wanna write them off sure go ahead.
In terms of who was in a better position I agree. I do think SEN showed the kind of team that they can be while at a severe disadvantage, but I also think that wasn't the best that G2 could have been. It was far from their floor, and probably close to their highest level, but there were moments where G2 wasn't as good as they could've been.
benezzy_ [#47]holy shit you're retarded. the point they're making is that the maps were close. if edg won 3-0 but all 3 maps were close, that wouldn't have any bearing on the point they were trying to make
maps werent close, i watched the maps, trace never had a lead in most of the matches despite winning pistols and bonus rounds
edg just doesnt give a flying fuck about winning that trophy after the champs win, but they still beat trace easily
just not close to edg atm sorry
ParodyAccount [#33]that GF was SEN's ceiling vs G2's floor
g2's floor? lmfao. sen didnt have prep time still took them 5 maps to close it out. if sen also had plenty of time, they'd def put up a good fight and maybe take 1-2 map on which they lost to ot(not saying they would def win)
Pmka1 [#38]Was asking a genuine question and got great answers. But yeah👍
