LMFAO, of course FPX is dominating EMEA, the region is trash. The reason Sentinels fell off is because NA got better, meanwhile most of EMEA haven't changed.

Best team*

the other 3 placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 2nd place team wound up going 1-2

"DRX choked"

As if Optic didn't come back with some nasty plays

True. Usually it's 4v5 with FNS igl, but if FNS can actually be a 5th teammate in terms of aim, Optic should win most games.

Facts. Dude's an idiot for posting it. It sounds like someone in Riot had his back and Sinatraa ousts him on Twitter for letting him skip training.

Title.

people need to stop thinking ecos are like Valorant and its 90% lost

in cs:go 1 grenade can make you 70 hp and get 1 tapped by desert eagle.

we see a lot of teams lose ecos only because eco is very strong in here

Both teams have won against each other, but Optic is warmed up for the first map and was able to see what strat(s) worked best for them (i.e. neon/omen)

Facts, I was there

Funny enough, I think TGRD stomps Lulquid, but Optic have a tough time, 2-1 either way

Oh, thanks for your unbiased opinion EUisbetter

To be fair on the Korea comment, Korea's region is strong and if EMEA, NA, BR get one, I'd rather have given it over to KR than APAC. At least let KR play APAC for it

Let's not forget that TL beat G2 3-4 weeks ago

EMEA calls them the 4th seed, and that's correct, but Team Lulquid beat G2 not even a month ago who is EMEA's #2 seed. It's a moot point calling them a 4th seed and acting like they're not on par with the 2nd seed.

Honestly, it's a cringe excuse and needs to stop.

Definitely LOUD. They're undefeated in BR, only ever dropping 2 maps until now dropping their 3rd map to Team Lulquid.

Sure they placed 4th, but they beat G2 less than 3 weeks ago who are currently your 2nd seed (1st for Iceland). It's not like they're not at the same level as G2 and Fnatic. Let's not pretend otherwise and continue to make excuses for your region.

This was also the first time they played that team comp on Haven. You kinda go boom or bust by doing that

Nah, take away 100T and it's at least between T1 and T2. Asuna and Derrek are proven T1 players. bang showed he can do well in T1. Will and stellar were the top players in the T2 scene.

Plus, who cares about "everyone thinks x,y,z" because nobody would've expected a random team like TGRD to come out of nowhere, but we're excited for it.

It's like they're speaking a different language to eachother. Scream comes up long for the flank, kills one, and neither of the other 2 members turn to kill him, so Scream kills all 3. Like what.

Less also appears to have Bronze aim this map

Stellar Derrek will bang Asuna

"did your research for you."

research means you investigated info... it's in the definitiion

Before anyone here said it (April 5th)

Well, good thing Scream didn't go on the yellow container..........................

did you even read the tweet and take a look at the pictures?

BR > EMEA

L

but if you don't have to spam jump, it's not a glitch

It does look like he used ctrl, but I don't think he used jump to glitch up

The Losers vs Leaders Laughing Later

It's great except they have fans that fight each other and kill each other over games and rivalries.

Let's not forget (2013?) where a ref stabbed a player and then the fans went down there and lynched the fucking ref.

Huge upgrades. They picked up 2 T2 team top players, Asuna and Bang work super well together, and Derrek is arguably the best Sova NA.

It's only delusional_paperrex_fan who is creating "lucky" threads and replying saying G2 are getting lucky, so chill

edit: and now I see OP creating multiple threads against Japan/Zeta, including being xenophic and saying "You guys supposed to be the humble ones.."

show me where people said asians can't aim on vlr......................

I believe it. They've STOMPED everyone they've gone against, even if it has been considered the easier teams. We'll see. I wish they got to go against and stomp EMEA's side of the bracket instead.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad

Sprays through smokes aren't lucky. They're only lucky if you're a bad player and don't understand where the enemy could be and headshot height

Are you delusional? It's a First Person SHOOTER. If this man is mediocre at shooting but he can play his role, that's fine, but I'd rather take a player who can shoot/smoke, like Marved.

Plus, any idiot can play smokes.

1/2. DRX/TGRD

3. G2
4. LOUD
   5/6. TL/Optic
5. PRX
6. NIP/ZETA

Feel free to quote me and see me at the end of this tournament.

Riot combined EMEA, and your teams are mixed with every country within EMEA (outside of Africa), which makes your population pool 1 billion. Your region also plays cs:go/fps games by a much larger margin than every region.

China has its own server, same with Korea, same with Japan, and same with OCE. If they were combined into one region and a majority of them played cs:go/FPS games like every other region, sure.

Everyone knows he's a good igl in NA, but he has some REALLY awful games individually and has by far the worst pro aim in NA

You have a population of 2.2 billion to create strong teams, and you're going to make excuses because 1 team couldn't make it? come on

EMEA - 2.2 billion
NA - 580 million
BR - 212 million
Korea - 52 million

your population is larger than every region combined by a large margin, quit whining

You guys are practically guaranteed to go to finals unless your region truly is garbage. You have 2 shots in quarters, one against ZETA/NIP (easily the worst teams that will make it out of groups), followed by another team fighting against Loud, arguably the worst team to start in playoffs.

??? NA does have a first seed, that doesn't make any sense

Optic has set the pace all game, so at least they tried to change it

you just quoted yourself

That wasn't even FNS' issue. He had to run to site and plant and Marved was the one next to him to clear the angle. At least be made at the right person for failing to clear. Marved did get a shot off, but had to flick to that angle for failing to properly place his crosshair.

Average salary in Switzerland is around $60k USD equivalent. I bet you FNS is making $200k+. Rent free in your head
