I hope they are and they put kk on chamber again because I would love to watch them if he’s oping

Optic also won regionally
They almost won a champs
I think sen needs another deep master or champs run to be the same
Remember sen was called washed for much longer than optic was called washed for

Disclaimer: this is all my own opinion, if you are offended I’m sorry
I like teams who change the meta and who are fun to watch. The more crazy they play, the better. Since my team nrg was knocked out by Sen, I have to pick a new team. Here are my rankings for who I want to win and a little snippet of why.

TH: THEY BROUGHT BACK MY MAIN NEON ON MULTIPLE MAPS🥳
Loud: what can I say, they’re playing phoenix a lot
FPX: they are playing yoru just as much as PRX, but they are bringing in chamber and Reyna which is insane
PRX they play so wild plus that triple duelist comp is so fun
Kc: they play yoru like everyone else on bind but they also play a little bit of Reyna
Sen: mostly default comps with a little bit of yoru
Geng: default comps with some gecko
EDG: only meta comps soo boring

What are your thoughts

Sacy is an animal
What a 1 v 3 clutch, gecko masterclass too.
Thoughts?

They wouldn’t put all region winners in the same group though

Will they put the region winners in a pool and the runner ups in another and draw the first matches like that

I think that it was a close game where the better team definitely won, but nrg could have won sunset
I think they will do well enough to qualify for champs through regular season play
Idk if shanghi qualification is a given for nrg though but I believe champs is

In every region except for China
The two region representatives were placed in the same groups
Thoughts?
(This is a joke btw)

Title

Doesn’t matter if you can’t win champs plus bros still mad about no threepeat

Americas has two champions wins and 2 masters wins I don’t see how you can say they are the best region all time

Versus EMEAs 1 champions win and 3 masters wins and lock-in win

I say that masters wins are 1/2 champs wins and lock-in win was 1/3 champs win so americas barely has the edge

That is my reasoning

Also pacific is over China because they have made it farther overall in major tournaments

Loud is number one because of their champions win and second place finishes at lock-in and masters

But EG is definitely over fncatic because EG won champs while fncatic only won two lesser tournaments

Lock-in win=1/3 champs
Masters win= 1/2 champs

I’m not going to count year 1 because that was before the double elimination bracket was introduced

Snap in his prime was the best but to at prime was short lived

I will be so happy no matter what

Definitely before

Duelist:Jingg
Initiator:Ethan
Controller:s0m
Flex:c0m
Igl: saadhak
Coach:potter

Two massive storylines

PRX wins their first title/Jingg gets his big win before going off to military service/ Pacific gets its first international tournament victory after heartbreak in Copenhagen/ something takes his crown as the latest incarnation of el Diablo/ deny home turf win for America

Versus the EG storyline

Eg from meme team to champions/ almost missed playoffs/ first female head coach to win an international trophy/the roster that everyone doubted going into franchising wins it all/demon1 becomes the latest incarnation of el Diablo and becomes the true villain /NA wins first LAN in the USA

Regardless of outcome

These teams were neck and neck last time around so this match may well be the greatest of all time

We also get to watch the map reveal and a performance of the champs theme song

WHOS READY

Lock-in was a troll so it’s about to be even

Sure lock-in counted

But if loud wins champs

They are the greatest team of all time

Back to back champs is way more important than back to back majors

This isn’t about na

I won’t explain

Brazil is just better

With double map ban

No one can stop PRX

EG will not get revenge

Fncatic will not beat the PRX comps and less time to prep

Loud is just not strong enough

Let’s just agree that PRX is inevitable

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now it’s a matter of time until either EG PRX or loud win the event

Without the double map ban FNC won’t win

I have one answer to you sir

N O

LOUD saving strats for champs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No FNC hate tho

I now understand that the Americas region is not just na
Brazil and Latam are strong regions

So going into this playoffs I say

VAMOOOOO LOUD AND EG

Bros mad

Omg bro has the script

Unfortunately it’s time for pacific to win a tournament

PRX wins champs

Honestly I love FUT but I don’t think they make it far so even though they are definitely the second best team in emea
They are not a title contender

Not trying to say emea is a one team region

The only problem is they haven’t been switching things up in the fly bc they haven’t pulled any comps out of nowhere so I pray they can cook some stuff up

I honestly could see fut pulling the upset
Of course PRX is great but I don’t think fut has looked half baf

That is actually a decent idea so against slower teams they just play the chamber but against fast teams they play the sage

That would be so interesting but the only problem is dep is the star of that team so I wonder how roles would work

We don’t need roster changes this was just an off season
Instead I think it’s our play style.
Nrgs harbor viper was very good throughout the year but they didn’t use it at champs and honestly they probably should play harbor on bind again because our bind isn’t world class anymore

Plus if they go back to neon on fracture I feel like victor can really shine

Imagine this comp
Neon Skye viper harbor chamber

I know it sounds crazy but it combines the strengths of victors neon with ariddis chamber, fns viper, som harbor, and crashies is literally crashies

Call me crazy but the only way for nrg to be world class again is to invent a new crazy comp

That actually makes sense

I think nrg needs victor to return to neon because the success they had with his neon was crazy

I know I have an NRG flair but I’m not trying to be biased here, but because victor owns the lan kill record, does that make him the greatest fragger of all time?

this is either the big brain play or I just screwed up my pickems

My region rankings are

Pacific>Americas>Emea>China

Pacific
I think pacific will probably win this tournament
Drx looks very hot right now as well as PRX
PRX can definitely beat fut and drx won’t have much trouble with BLG( or they will blg please surprise me)

Americas
Loud looks on fire right now
Im so excited to see what ballsy comps that loud might pull out
EG is just looking crazy
Im ready to see demon1 domination and possibly a championship for them

Emea
Yes FNC is great but fut is just not close to par with other teams in playoffs which is why I have them this low

China
EDG might pull off some upsets but I still feel like blg can’t compete with other giants in this tournament
And yes nrg might be a little washed which is why they lost to blg

China surprise me

This bracket is filled with bangers

Match1 FNC/LOUD.
What a way to start the bracket play
It’s the reigning major winners versus the previous champions winners and the team who people believe are the only team that can beat FNC. Just wow

Match 2 FUT/PRX
I hope that FUT can step up to the plate because this will be their toughest game all season
Good luck to them

Match 3 DRX/BLG
With the way that blg has been playing I think they have a chance to upset this drx even though they looked hot coming out of groups
I expect a very close match here

Match 4
EG/EDG
We will not get demon1 alfajer beef early in the tournament but this is a great match too
Demon1 versus kangkang just wow
This match will be hard fought
my pickems

I expect upsets only of big teams and revenge arcs all around

Even though nrg is out I will still follow this tournament to the very end because we will have some of the greatest matches of all time

Fut number 1 is valid

I love qw1

Americas-LOUD>Pacific>China-BLG>EMEA

Y’all got grouped so I don’t think your opinion counts

I swear if we get interregional matches I’m going to be upset

I don’t hate the Chinese scene, but you can’t just come to our home turf and talk smack about our players unprovoked.

I don’t hate y’all

But I hope ardiis shits on y’all

One of the greatest matches of all time
Ggs to navi but what a fight we saw between these two teams

I look forward to seeing them in the playoff stage

NAVI loud comps????

o7

Gl loud and Navi fans
