geng might get grouped

#1

group b is crazy, we got the best pacific team, best chinese team, best emea team, and sentinels duking it out for only 2 spots in the playoffs.

I think there’s a good possibility geng might get grouped, considering heretics almost beat them with a sub, fpx only lost to geng and heretics in shanghai (winner and runner up) and they were both fairly close games. sentinels might not be in form right now, but are still the only team to beat geng in an international this year, and have shown that they can put up great performances when it really matters.

both heretics and sentinels have time before champs to get their shit together, fpx have only been improving since shanghai, while geng was at peak form at the time.

as an added point, geng are the defending world champs, so everyone (especially group b) are going to be reviewing their games to prepare strats against them.

they’ve been antistratted the whole year and still their worst placement at any event this season has been 2nd

true, their adaptations are very good, but champs is going to be their first event where they will be coming in as the defending world champs.

I won’t count vct pacific, because I think qualifying to champs by getting top 3 is more important than actually winning the regional tournament.

wronghand and his management would like to establish that the above sentence is to be taken in comedic light, not as a legally binding statement

As previously stated by the Management of Mr. Wronghand, this is not a legally binding statement. Mr. Wronghand has already been forced to respond to another on the linked form. He doesn't enjoy deeling with seperate parties who do not read, comprehend or just strive to disrespect the fine print included in the post.

Mr. Wronghand’s management seems to have a hard time speeling words such as “dealing”. 😅

of course everyone has vods, but I'm trying to say that geng is the primary target for this event.

after madrid i feel like they’re gonna do fine in high pressure situations even when the enemy has a fat lead or are a map up

If there is a world in which they could get grouped it's this one with the group they got xd

They should still make it out tho
I think they're levels above Sen and FPX and even a level above current form TH

yea, not putting money on geng getting grouped, I just feel like it's more likely than people might think.

also, they've looked so good the entire year, surely they can't keep it up for this long... right?

Bit of a stretch to assume that TH is currently the best EMEA team, though I am guessing that they have the highest peaks out of all the EU teams.

As for your argument that SEN and TH have time before champs to prac, well so do GENG and what you didnt mention is that Champions is in Seoul, meaning GENG

don't have to spend time travelling
have established prac environments and facilities
can prac with their usual scrim partners
won't suffer from jettlag

So all in all, in my personal opinion its pretty damn unlikely that theyll get grouped. Possible for sure but still not a likely scenario. Im guessing FPX are most probable to not make it out of that group, then depending on how in-form SEN are currently, they might get out of groups as second seed if they manage to beat a struggling TH.

Love the fact that its super unpredictable though, makes everything a lot more exciting imo

oh yeah, I forgot that they had the home-court advantage, thanks for mentioning it.

as for geng also being able to practice, I feel like there is less room for them to improve compared to heretics and sentinels, since they're already great at almost every aspect of the game. It just depends on whether both heretics and sentinels can show up on their match-days. (because we know both of these teams can put up a good fight against geng)

I guess saying heretics is the best emea team is a bit overboard, but we've seen what they can do, and they're also the only emea team to make every event this year.

I have faith in fpx. (berlin greatest human to ever touch this game)

I could totally see a heretics resurgence, Im guessing they struggled a bit during split 2 because they had to switch from their roster during split 1 to a different roster for shanghai and to a different one again during split 2 (also TH alongside GenG were the teams with the least amount of prep time after shanghai since they made it furthest).

I love the FPX boys too, h(c)oping that they make it out of groups with GenG. (Lysoar and AAAAY most underated players in all of china)

we should appreciate heretics keeping up good form despite multiple roster changes. granted, it was just 6 players getting swapped around, but it still counts.
