Fnatic

We'll just have to see tbh.
Personally I really like this T1 roster (since I liked the old DRX roster), but as long as we get a banger match I'll be happy

i think its a bit unfair to compare previous results since t1 pretty much has a new roster

(meant to reply to #2)

Yeah
Feels like we need to see some teams play more though. Specifically talking about mibr since we don't know if they just got bamboozled or if that's actually the level they'll play at.
But for now I agree, good power ranking

If you would only buy one at all I'd say EDG since they have the unique Champions stamp
otherwise this is my APAC tier list based purely off of looks: https://i.imgur.com/jO781Gt.png

damn i didnt know we brought these threads in to 2025

some may say the fnatic bundle is similar!

I want them to do it for sure, I just don't think they will, even if they start playing great.

holy shit I meant VCT bundle
😭😭
that would've been a costly mistake if someone didn't point it out sooner

I'll give two random people who reply to this a VCT capsule of their choice.

If they get eliminated I will give away 1 bundle

not even I think this
even if they look great in their next match, a full lower bracket run is very difficult. A lot would have to go right
I would even go as far as to say they should be in B tier, unless/until they win at least 2-3 lower matches

agree

you're doubting the professor

never doubt the professor

it's temporary (hopefully)

Is this like a summary of each user

meiy

I'm watching the Pacific game, so I haven't been watching. But looking at the score line it seems like they're making a decent attempt at a comeback. Are they playing particularly bad?

Wait
I got wolves going through in my pickems
but lowkey nova look way better

i blame tmv

nah man I gotta see #DFMWIN

I will be there for Nova vs WOL no matter what
(unless I fall asleep, since I haven't slept. That would be the only matter which)

wait shit they start at the exact same time
I thought it was staggered. idk who to watch

ts ts ts got space to improve, ts was actually alright. ts could have a bright future if ts ts coaches put in the work and stop listening to ts

he's just an unc so therefore is an easy scapegoat
but guess what
can't say spacegoat without goat 🗣️🔥

damn

likely similar to what they saw in alfajer when scouting, I have faith

ahh ahh

is bro about to sneeze

nah, it'll exist
and it'll include Pakistan :)

Dropping Derke was likely a decision made from higher up due to financial issues at the org
I agree it sucks, but shit happens ig
Kaajak has room to grow, so I think the short term goal should just be to get him ready in preparation for Leo's eventual return

yeah, I like Kr1stal too, so if they play against a team I'm neutral with I'll support them slightly

I think fade tbh
Skye is best when you have a viper imo
biggest drawback with fade is you don't have flashes.

I think I prefer the Tejo Breach comp Americas teams are running over the double senti

seeing so much GE hate, but also seeing supporters. I can't tell which is more prevalent

I agree

I don't like how they let the desk yap during the walkout
kinda ruins the vibe

how can TH be a Spanish org and no Spanish players

thank you :)

vlr dev(s) refuse to add more flairs so I have to show that I support Derke through my flag

@engima pls
I will give u like 30 bucks

put it in perspective with other live service games

vlr dev(s) refuse to add more flairs so I have to show that I support Derke through my flag

The thing is, how often does that really happen?
VAL has had cheaters in high elo recently yeah, but when you put it in perspective with other live service games, the AC is still really good.
On top of that, replays aren't perfect, and they never can be, this means that legit shots can look like cheats and cheats can look legit, because of that ambiguity it doesn't really hold up as a system to find and prevent cheaters (which as I mentioned before, Vanguard is pretty good at)

esports wise yes, very important
for casuals eh

but I agree it shouldn't have been an afterthought. I agree with what balla tweeted, he said that an imperfect system which is improved over time beats a refined system which isn't as imperfect on release (something like this can never be completely perfect)

Keep in mind I don't watch nearly as much pacific as EMEA and AMER, so I'm talking out of my ass and am uninformed

But to me TS have always been a team limited by the level that Philippine talent is at, for example I see talon fans always complaining that they don't have the best thai talent, but I very rarely see that for TS. I think the most criticism I've seen of them from within the community is JessieVash and his age, but even then people defend him, so it's not unanimous

woah, if SR win this they make it in to tier 2
cool
