if they win this event do we call Leaf the Best Sentinel in 2024 and Valyn the best IGL or nah

I actually respect it if they win. Absolutely nobody believed in them during Americas playoffs it felt.

Plus leaf got death threats from BR CS at 16/17 for being too good. Nice to see him continue to do well.

ngl if they win this they have all the respect. still hate what they did to net but it needed to be done.

but they def have one of the hardest roads to winning a master.

Ah shit that hurts then. At least he got a long time on the team so will likely have been noticed. Valorant franchising is dreadful for players getting maybe 1 tournament then being dropped down to tier 2 again and nobody even getting a chance to see what they're capable of with high tier support and development.

very bad timing of a drop....bro got to play 2 games of reg season and some kick off.

was with them for like 3 years and now probably wont get picked up by another team unless its loud or something

Grinded to Tier 1 just to most likely get sent back to tier 2.

played with them throughout all of ascension then dropped him for icy (shitty ass player)
all so leaf could change to sentinel and they get a new entry

i feel like people think boostio is a supervillain now or something, he makes fun of himself and his own team just as much as he roasts everyone else

if he loses he’ll just say something like we fucking suck, we’re frauds and that’s it

Boostio would probably say something like:

"We are fucking trash and we are fucking frauds" while laughing.

But he's the only one from the old EG roster actually doing something today and performing, so i don't think it would be a humilliation, also he said that they know they come as underdogs.

i think everyone has 100T and G2 as underdogs tbh. most people say this is PRX or GENGs event to win or there best chance. I dont see a winner tbh besides those 2.

Nah bro, Gen.G isn't that much of a favorite for this event, they're still pretty good but their performance is not the same as Madrid.
I would only see PRX as a clear favorite.

100T can pull up some nasty performance and own the tournament or completely poop it and go home in a funny way, we will see.

Considering PRX Choke on GF, I can see a world where Gen.G won Shanghai

rn PRX and GenG are head to head, their performance is really close i would say

GenG are the first Korean team to reach GF on an international event, which DRX Couldnt do

The skill gap between PRX and GenG are much closer than PRX and DRX back in 2023. Sure that DRX beat some of the best team in 2023 like Loud and Navi, but compare to PRX in terms of performance against other region teams, they where slightly lower.

The only reason why PRX always lose to DRX is just because DRX is a kryptonite team

I don't like their playstyle, if is not that it's painfully slow but also seems repetitive.
But if they manage to make it work and earn themselves a masters then it's deserved, they are here for a reason and they've won their matches.

Props to them if they make it work, it would be boring to see though, at least for me.

id agree to this, theres nothing unique really to there playstyle tbh. but thats just how most teams are tbh. its like 4 mediocre guys and then there's leaf.

but they all been consistent and that's why they're winning.

not really, its leaf + a strong synergy core + good strats from valyn and joshrt
only lack firepower, leaf can't do it all

Like I said, 4 mediocre players 3 just have a strong bond and ICY is getting better every match but still mediocre. and Leaf.

nothing wrong with being mediocre but there like the top of the mediocre rn straight consistency and that's what's winning!

Would be an absolute miracle ngl, the gauntlet they have to run is insane, and having to face PRX out the gate and more than likely immediately get sent to the lower bracket where one of EDG or a Heretics with more practice is waiting. G2 is a prime candidate to just get ran through by W gaming teams like EDG, PRX and TH so I really don't see them advancing past 7th/8th. If they even manage 5th/6th it'll be more than enough for me to be impressed

well they did kinda steam roll TH on bind and split. so i do think if they met TH in the lower bracket, they would win (even though TH has a bit more practice)

depends how you look at it, they had to beat KRU and C9 ( Dosent matter anyones opinion they had the best record in americas ) then get to shanghai and some ( not all ) considered them the underdogs vs T1 and TH but its debatable. Just to play PRX Round 1. Depends on your opions to believe if they have the hardest run. But I promise you 2 months ago no one outside of G2's Fanbase actually had them making shanghai and I doubt anyone really expects them to win this even so they're basically like the underdogs in everymatch from here on out.,
