This team is so balanced in every way and just seem like they can beat quite literally everybody, I feel like every match its a new player showing up and covering for the others and I think it is safe to say that SugarZ3ro is the best smokes player in the world

if xerxia don't get to bracket stage i will be very sad

how am i dumb as shit? is stellar not a clear downgrade over Ethan? why get rid of a proven player who you have under contract for someone who has struggled playing at the tier 2 scene?

STELLAR BRO LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... i seriously cannot with this team anymore I'm thinking of switching to a new team man this is horrible

i think the roster could be good if the chemistry is there and I mean like top 6, maybe even better then SEN

someone who says something very misleading or crazy in order to get reactions out of others

im just really interested to see if these wardell/derrek rumors come to fruition because then there would be no Hiko which would be very weird to see

i think they will move Ethan back to smokes because he was a good omen player, but omen fell out of the meta quickly after he joined, so he switched to mainly skye, but with the resurgence of omen I think him switching back will probably happen, or maybe bang since he played smokes with TSM, but like you said I honestly have no clue lol

damn man they really missing c0m :/

its been announced that hiko will switch to sentinel while ethan will switch to sova, then Bang will be flex and stani will be the smokes

Yeah

I find it smart that faze clan has moved shot up off the astra and put him on the initiator role because it allows him to exploit his god tier fragging ability. Also the same goes for dicey who is an oper so putting him on the chamber and keeping baby at on the Jett as more of a rifler is a very smart move. Faze Clan could be scary in the next quals.

So I know that as a 100T fan I may be biased, but after watching these past two matches it seems that in some maps the team is out of sync and still have not gotten used to playing with each other. Is it just me or did it negatively impact them that they were automatically invited to the closed qualifier? Because playing through 1 or 2 opens would have given them much more experience playing together and possibly landed them better results in the closed. Overall I do not understand the decision to invite them, as their team had shifted greatly. I know the ruie is that if 3 players stay then its the "same team," like you keep your masters points, but I do not think this team should have been directly invited.

mb I didn't see that they had changed their roster, I have no clue who will make it out of Japan since all teams changed their rosters a lot

kinda cliche but I just think lots of these teams aren't going anywhere

which teams from each region do you guys think will qual? personally i think

NA
-Envy
-Cloud 9

EMEA
-Gambit
-Acend
-Liquid

BR/LATAM
-KRU
-VK
-LOUD

KR
-DWG or VS

SEA
-Team Secret
-Full Sense

Japan
-NORTHEPTION

anyone can beat anyone. facts or nah

Which teams surprised you guys the most in this event and which disappointed? In my opinion I thought that EG and Knights were very impressive as well as BBG, while teams like T1 and honestly Rise disappointed me

doing comps like TSM would look very interesting for SEN

i cant decide because they are good sometimes and other times they look bad, but they definitely have a good future with dre and jawgemo joining

subroza jeeez

K1NG is going to be on loan for the start of Challengers 1, do you guys think Lakia will cement himself a s a starter, or will k1ng take the role back once gets off loan

rip na.

dont take away shahz hes played brilliantly in this tourney, I think bringing back sinatraa for tenz or bringing sinatraa back in some way may be the play because they need to be better on split and that is sinatraa's map with raze

the reason is because the cards fell their way at Berlin

b0i's replacement is already there, as seven is going to replace him, and either nitro will play support or seven, and why tf would you drop Hiko, mans literally has such a big impact, but people just think he is a "baiter"

I think there are many good smoke players in NA, but whose the best, I think Nitro and Zombs are definitely up there, but who do you guys think is the best.

interesting theory no-cap

They lose to EZ5 on a 13-4, where do they go from here?

I saw a lot of teams playing KAY/O today, but do you think the no duelist comp will actually happen?

I'm liking that kay/o is getting played!

s0m looks good on that kay-0 0-0
