T1>G2 and Liquid
Fuck ur script- let my boys ball
T1 would more than likely not making it past G2. T1 made some severe mistakes against Vitality and they lose their head so easily. Sylvan could be the solution so that they can midround better. Overall, be glad that playoffs will have an APAC representation. Would have been nice to have both teams, but G2 is playoffs-bound with their methodical style.

G2 got shit on by EDG aggressive style, T1 def has a chance, lets stop acting like G2 is some unbeatable team. They got fucked by EDG, I like G2 but they can get out aimed often and T1 is a team that can do just that against them

I never said G2 is unbeatable, but I watched that T1 vs Vitality match and T1 made some excruciatingly painful errors against opponents who had the quality to punish it. G2 are extremely good at punishing errors with their style. T1 has always got a chance, but G2 is more probable to punish T1 when they're playing disconnected, Buzz is trying to solo entry with little support and everyone else is off a step in the plan.

Did you watch T1 today or are we just going to label T1 off their first series, I could do the same thing with G2 except their shit performance is more recent. Sure G2 look cleaner for at least kick off, but whats to say their play doesnt drop like it always does lmao.

T1 didn't loss any match with Sylven. in T1 vs Vitality matchup definitely had lot of comm problems when they played with carpe

Alright, lemme give you the full context. T1 vs Trace is gonna be heavily favourable for T1 since Trace have become a shell of their form after getting bodied by EDG in region. Trace really looked like they forgot all their strategy and depended more on hero plays and aim to win out some rounds. They were very disorganised both against G2 and T1.
Does this discount T1's performance today? I would say just a little bit. Trace is honestly below T1 and the Korean superteam should be looking to scalp better opponents. But they missed out heavily when they lost to Vitality.
G2 lost to the defending champions who have branded themselves with the best synergy of aggressive and disciplined Valorant. G2 got destroyed on Fracture, but let's not pretend like they did not put up a good fight on Pearl. G2's players all can take over a round. I've seen Valyn pop EDG players on Pearl like an Aimlabs exercise.
I'm not even a G2 fan - I quite frankly dislike them. But I will at least honestly say that G2's capacity to punish would outdo T1's capacity to provide hero plays.

A fair point to make. And this is what I credit T1 with if Sylvan plays well against DRX. Sylvan is a midround caller so he alleviates pressure off of stax to make decisions on the exec or defensive plan. Sylvan has got what it takes to rescue T1 and streamline decisions.

there is one thing you forgot. G2 doesnt play like their regional self. Some teams level up and some teams level down when it comes to internationals. G2 is a team that levels down. But I agree that G2s playstyle can punish T1s individual heroics if it comes to that. But T1 is way better than Trace, so I wouldnt really put too much care into that Trace vs G2 match.

Difficult to say if G2 leveled up or down since they pushed EDG to 3 maps but got destroyed on Fracture. G2 destroyed SEN on Fracture in-region, but I would say SEN is below their usual par especially for the talent they acquired. In additon, this is the first time G2 played Bind with Jawgemo on the team and it's clear to see that not adapting to the meta has hurt their quality on the map.
G2 vs TL will be very telling of how both teams are looking when everything is on the line to survive.

Yea I agree tmrw will tell us what we need to know. But why do i have a good feeling Liquid will walk out with this. They are very underrated rn

It would be quite poetic for Nats to knock out both American teams.

That should have been a 2-0 for EDG
They were better at pistols/cltuches/gun rounds
They were so bad at anti-ecos and could not shoot the player defusing in their own one way

Absolutely agree with you. EDG really suffered against the thrifty-buys especially NA Stinger buys. EDG really should learn how to play against such rounds because those rounds lost made it closer than it needs to be. EDG were absolutely immense on pistol rounds - I can't imagine it continuing the same way, but they definitely got some of the best aimers to go big on pistol.
I feel like Smoggy meant to fake the smoke when they lost that round to Leaf's ninja defuse. It's that or the smoke placement wasn't right if they wanted to confirm where to spam. The plant spot is perfect for spamming still, but there might be too much going on when that round could have been closed more easily. Kangkang making noise to pressure Leaf off of the defuse could have worked too.
