All this to lose to GENG

#1

ascention

I'll support my teams no matter what but I cannot see the current roster of Champs teams beating GENG. Closest thing NA has to a contender is G2. SEN has beat them before but their consistency just isn't there. Anyone I should look out for in other regions?

heretics in form is rlly scary (fut learned this the hard way)
otherwise probably not, gen g would have to hit a slump somehow

playoffs and groups geng are different, they’ve only dropped a single map in playoffs which was close

they just get their int out in group

if Gen.G win champs they will have the greatest run ever but also be the most successful org ever. Which is crazy because their roster is less than a year old

in terms of pure form geng looks really good rn but you have to consider there are TONS of factors that go into matches besides form

geng have been studied by every single team at the event now and they are perma banning abyss so their map pool is (potentially) weaker than before

would not be surprised if all the top teams have crafted strategies to beat them

They are perma banning abyss to save strats.

speculation
geng are very slow to develop new strats. thats why they've barely adjusted any of their existing comps. wouldnt be surprised if they dont feel ready yet on abyss

what's not speculation is the ridiculous number of hours GENG puts into their craft. I can't see NA teams mastering the map to anywhere near their level.

ya obviously they will be good on it eventually. my point is getting to that high level for them takes a long time

not only that but comp plays a part in this too gotta make sure they've a good comp and not overcook things or else they're gonna get read like a book

ngl geng map pool is decent but during madrid they kept perma banning sunset cause they're very slow to develop new strats like #31 stated so i wouldn't be surprised if they perma ban abyss the entire champs but they're going to have to improve their map pool within these next few weeks to be strong and new strats

if LEV can somehow make it to like top 5, i think aspas can aspas his way through the rest of the event as long as they dont do some wack shit.

I wish, but I just don't have enough proof that Lev won't flop at international games.

maybe LEV won't upset this time. even C0M looking much better than before and they were looking really dominant Stage 2 but lets wait for Playoffs.
