wtf is going on why are people genuinely acting like trace is the best 2 seed because edg did their usual trolling in regional upper bracket. Unless teams fuck up and let them play their best maps again they're 8th in the event
kyro1 [#4]trace is the best 2nd seed. liquid is shit, sen is mid, and t1 kinda depends on the day.
trace is clearly the worst team at this event lock in bro
Hynix [#5]trace is clearly the worst team at this event lock in bro
trace is clearly not bro lmao you dont watch cn if you think this. its liquid and its not even close
because trace looked better than EDG throughout the tournament, even in the grandfinal, trace played a more beautiful game while EDG had huge individual moments. The only real weakness trace has is that they have a weak map pool, and lack of experience (which didnt stop them from winning two games straight). its not like champs where trace can only win 2 maps. I think every team is relatively close hence the grandfinals for all the regions being close but trace on a macro level looks better, more consistently than t1, liquid or sen.

you're overcorrecting on the china underestimation from champs, their map pool is ass

they have by far the most exploitable map pool at the event and the beautiful macro you're talking about really ain't allat for most of these teams

they have 3 bad maps, in bo3s thats fine
shaq_attaqr [#8]you're overcorrecting on the china underestimation from champs, their map pool is ass
no bro they have improved a lot from champs i get you prolly dont watch cn bc that was true before but genuinely their map pool is good they will beat probably any team on lotus and bind and their others are solid much better than most teams right now since they kept their team together.

what? you think these teams can aim diff trace? or what does this mean

I'm saying the other teams have similar or better macro on more maps

you are considering map pool way to much. Trace literally only need to worry to play 1 map their bad at. and their macro compared to the 2nd seeds is definitely better on those other maps

im not hyping trace bc they beat edg 1 time its irrelevant but trace is good bro its not like fpx in madrid or something like that this team will be competitive
shaq_attaqr [#3]I'm not saying they aren't good, this isn't a madrid fpx situation
fpx almost beat heretics. should have, probably
obtusemooose [#17]fpx almost beat heretics. should have, probably
s0n literally fucked them right after that match fpx just happened to be playing good
shaq_attaqr [#13]I'm saying the other teams have similar or better macro on more maps
bro this just isnt true whos macro are you talking about? drx who spam no info site hits? sentinels who are only here bc of hero plays? liquid?????? i promise you there isnt a team with better macro on bind right now

no one thinks trace is good because they beat edg once. its the fact that their macro has been far superior than edgs has, and it isnt even close. Trace should be hella mad they didnt win the final, because they played better than EDG but got diffed mechanically a lot. for example, trace lost 14-16 on abyss, when the only factor was this was because nobody could walk up mid and get like 3 people each round, even bind was just a massive zmjjkk masterclass saving his team from the depths of hell.
Trace are nowhere near a shit chinese team

sen beat mibr convincingly if we exclude pearl
they deserve to be here
catNmouse [#21]sen beat mibr convincingly if we exclude pearl
they deserve to be here
sen definitely deserve to be here. but their macro is far worse than trace.
if mibr made it to bangkok then that is a fraudulant second seed
catNmouse [#21]sen beat mibr convincingly if we exclude pearl
they deserve to be here
mibr had 3 weeks of prac bro its more impressive they got there in the first place kinda speaks to the general level of play in americas right now
