"sit the f down" coming from a guy whose favourite team struggled against a team with coach playing. morrocan flag and "qt" in the end of your name ring a bell that you are johnqt's fan. sad to realise your goat has worse stats than xlg's head coach in this match right? :)

you are correct on hvoya playing better than rarga, rarga been looking disappointing compared to his stats in stage 1.

How do people still think Lotus is T sided in the big 2025 just because you don't know how to play CT in ranked?

It was literally by far the most CT sided map at Toronto.

that's why yesterday were like 3 comebacks on Lotus from 10-4 to OT on T side.

Ragebait 10\10.

Happy for your comebacks.

55% defense WR at Toronto still stands. More than any other map in the game.

Ascent had more, surely

#47

Breloof

Frags

–

Ascent at Toronto was actually the third most T sided map, funnily enough (behind Icebox and Pearl), with only 43% defense win rate.

But Ascent was only played 7 times, Lotus 12 times, so the Lotus data is a bit more robust.

Obviously it mostly depends on team comps. Some comps favour defense, others favour attack a bit more, and with meta shifts, the sided-ness of any map can shift pretty drastically.

Judging based on one tournament is cool, im happy for u too!

Out of all 10 tier 1 tournaments this year (Kickoff x4, Bangkok, Stage 1 x4, Toronto), the lowest defense WR was EMEA stage 1 at 44%.

All other tourneys hovered in the 48-52% range.

I picked Toronto because it was the most recent one and reflects the current meta the best, plus was the highest level of play due to being an international tournament, so the data is less skewed by shit teams who just don't know how to play the game.

By and large, teams have figured out how to play defense on this map by fighting for A main or C mound, which mitigates a lot of the inherent advantage that T side seems to have on the surface (it being a 3 site map and all, with easy pivots through Hobbit or C door).

Obviously it depends a lot on team comps and stuff, but the current meta does favour the comps that shine a bit more on defense, so currently it does tend to be more CT sided.

Riot's organization is top notch as always. Pauses every game.

They should learn from another indie company, Valve. 0 pauses during a Dota tournament.

The last CS major - also 0 pauses, delays.

So, you admit there were delays then. That makes your statement "0 pauses, delays" grammatically and logically false. But that's boring so let's dig in with the insults and nonsense then, shall we?

Yes, ofc, i do admit we've got delays betwenn games, as in any disciplin. Common 10-20 min delays to let guys make their setup comfortable. There was't 1-2 hours TECHNICAL delays or 1-2 hours pauses during one map. Can't u just admit it?

Bro, how dumb can you be? I was complaining about the tech pauses breaking the momentum. And wow SEN can only win against Chinese teams, and even that just barely, which doesn’t exactly speak well for their performance. Especially considering XLG had to play with their coach, and it was still a close game.

Not good as Sen and how much you hate sen is still the top 5 best teams and has 2 master trophies.G2 with leaf would have destroyed blg easily.

I never said anything against that. I know they've won two Masters tournaments. But that was with a different roster. Their current performance with this roster just doesn't look good. And right now, they are definitely not a Top 5 team.

What a tech mess, but good for SEN to close it out in the end. zekken more and more shows he's the best Neon.

XLG still clutched some crazy rounds with coach. happywei and Viva are shooters. Rarga sadly again with the communication issues... xD At this point with all the Jemkins, Rargas and vo0kashus we might see a all Russian team again at some point... under Chinese flag... xD

Nah it's actually genius, depending on the buy he's a drone that has a cam and 150 health and it sometimes even shoots back. The drawback is you play one man down 70% of the rounds
