sliggy said and i quote "coaches are hard to guage, i think a good coach is a coach who can take 2 completely different teams and make both amazing" (like MCE with guard and c9 for example) and i wholeheartedly agree, it's easy to make amazing players good, i would argue it's the same with onur, he took 2 pretty average teams (Kru and Leviatan) and made them very very close to top tier teams, imo that is what makes a "good coach"

at least your self aware

bro has the sauce, he's been waiting for this post his entire life.

it's kinda crazy how so many people are jealous of regions because they deadass have the best team itw at that point, next year when nrg or eg or whoever it is looks better, na will be 1 team region, then it'll be apac with drx or paper rex or some other shit, yall gotta chill man

i ain't reading allat

hell yeah, look up smii7y if u wanna see gameplay, might need to search specifically for the game tho, it looks hella good

someone doesn't live online and blud says "weak personality" nah blud it's the opposite

what is blud waffling

we read more than the first sentence, u just didn't read anything before making an opinion, stop deflecting

MOST SANE VLR.GG USER

i agree with this

Not against Fnatic, but their Ult economy, their incredible ability to win 14/14 on 1st or 2nd round so far, they are 12/14 on PISTOLS but when they lose the pistol, they win the 2nd to get adv back to themselves, then on top of that they are one of the only teams who you actively expect to win 3rd right now, on top of that there's the teamplay aspect they have between each other and the trading, i think those are the biggest reasons for why they are so good rn, in order.

bro optic couldn't even beat yay feeling like he wanted to leave how would they beat fnatic with em

if EG beat fnatic on fracture, i will be sold on it. (i'm a fan of both help idk what to do)

ironically this comment is funny now due to loud getting shit on

That's fair to say, but the point I'm making isn't about how good they are or how good they could be, it's about the possibilities that other top tier teams that are hungry for the trophy will find and take advantage of, i've noticed sometimes on haven, for example EG knew that TL was coming a first round for some reason, i couldn't tell u but if u look at the vod of it, at 1:50 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWIO1JfMmP4 demon1 runs out the smoke without anything, then jawgemo and ethan push short late as the sova does nothing on long and they just get bailed out because c0m hits probably one of the nuttiest clips of the year so far, put a team like nrg or fnatic in tl's shoes and they decimate that hold from EG, because it was frankly awful

yeah and when people said "fnatic dominated" they did dominate, but no one mentioned the cracks they were showing while dominating, that's what other teams like NRG and Fnatic will take advantage of against EG, because they are good enough to do so, when i was watching 1st map vs TL there were HARDLY any cracks at all in the gameplay or their chain, same with the loud game and it showed through the dominance of the game, but in the 2nd map they didn't look nearly as clean cut against TL, and it may just of been them getting complacent, but it's still smtn to note for the future nonetheless

This is just false though, no team which is "bad on a map" would go 11-13 against nrg on it and 10-13 against loud on it, that doesn't exactly say "oh btw we are bad on the map" and those games are 1-2 months ago now, when EG were still figuring stuff out, they are not as bad on haven as all the analysts say

this is fair

i think given they keep playing at this rate, they make it to grand finals minimum, but they looked quite shaky against Team Liquid in the 2nd map yesterday, so maybe they are showing some cracks now

thing is though, think about it this way, if u were ALWAYS having to stay up to 2-4am for games (like most people in other countries have to apart from UK/EU/US for some examples, u will lose interest in watching BECAUSE they are on at such an inconvenient time for you.

what riot has done isn't perfect it's putting a band aid on a massive problem, but there's no real "good answer" to time zones, it's just how it works sadly, u can say "oh they should always do this bc this is where viewership is highest" but that's like looking at kills in-game and saying it fully decides who played well or not, that's just logically not how it works, riot want to include the whole world BECAUSE if they include the whole world, they don't have any enemies and on top of that, every country has sponsors wanting to sponsor them, among multiple other reasons those are just a few.

I know for some viewers who only think about the viewers this may be hard to swallow, but riot are looking out for themselves, not the viewers with these calls, as much as it's sad, it's how a business works and it's how a business will always work, Even other games like CSGO and Rocket league still host in different places for majority of their events, it's just how the esports business works, it's the same as the Olympics or the football world cup, people bid to host it, blank accept 1 bid and then that country hosts it, same concept here, i'm personally unsure if countries bid to host val or cs, etc but i can assume it's still based on some logical reason like exposure or viewership, etc why they end up going to different places, u also gotta remember u don't end up figuring out what the best course of action is without messing up and getting low viewership or low returns.

C9 easily look like the best team by far

given how EDG actually anti stratted T1 hella hard, it could be scary for loud but if loud lose to EDG i might lose faith in them, so imma go loud on that

putting it as simply as possible, doug seems like he tries too hard and watches too much while pansy puts all the effort into the few games she does cast because she really gives a shit about those specific games, just my op.

hating people goes hard

the fact you are calling saya for having "bad mental" is just laughable, there's nothing more that needs to be said.

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/e2271b1b may be hyper copium but didn't ask

didn't ask

typical armchair analyst who knows better than t1 professional team and coach

plain and simply, No one asked, no one cares, go outside and touch grass

Sure, it'll probably be close but FUT hardly even qualed and we have no idea how good they are on lan, i just have way more trust that EG will win in a game against them, and ASE look like one of the worst teams in the group (from what i've seen of them)

i won't lie, if u genuinely think even trashy EG lose to ASE or FUT idek what to say

1, u did. 2, i'm not arguing. 3, if he wants attention so bad then that's unlucky for him not me, i'm just here to shit on him for it

Baiting would consider a comedian doing a joke for shock value in my experience, u don't make fun of someones death and someone's grief for "shock value" your just a shitty human for doing that, some things are dark humour, some are shock value, and as we've seen in the past, some people are just assholes.

Do not agree, bro's tryna blame someone for helping her "ego" by apologising to a dead relative, it's not even a joke bros just a clown

i really hope you go touch grass sometime soon so i don't need to listen to your dumbass anymore

Imma say out of experience lil bro, no matter how they are treating you right now, that happens and they regret it instantly and often feel guilt and shame that they treated you badly, only reason why they wouldn't is if they are fucked up, and if they are, not much u can do about that, just remember your the one trying to be better and keep your head up king.

Hey, i'm starting to get lost mom!

I remember a list i saw with a tier which was defined "good enough to upset 1 good team, but will fail after", i agree with putting EG in that category, even though i have MASSIVE copium for EG as a team, i don't think they are as good as other top tier teams yet

i don't think u understand how pressure works, pressure depends on whether u care to put it on yourself, he came to dsg to chill and have fun, give the good org a new fanbase that might be loyal, he didn't come to be super competitive.

everyone talking trash about him are just no life morons who sit on vlr.gg all day, why would he care about anyone who cannot do anything with their own lives and cannot accomplish anything anyway, if u seriously wanna improve, you'd ask people who actually know how shit works in real life, not random people on a site talking shit for no reason.

The best thing that yay could do is just not listen to all the people putting ridiculous expectations on him and just play man

I never thought I'd see the day where I actually agree with babysasuke

I appreciate this post

Typical vlr "show me stats" sen fan

typical "i have no idea how the game works" vlr.gg user

bro really put yay in there just to rub it in

joke flew 205 feet over bros head

Furia is untrue rn purely because they are reportedly having internal issues, if true they aren't on the same standing as everyone else yet still beating teams, which is crazy to think

Didn't ask

oxg over m80 is so cope it's crazy and this is before they threw by picking gekko
