i think there's like two sections of 100t's critics, one is they completely hyped them up WAY TOO MUCH, and one is MASSIVELY underrating them. 100t to me is a very high ceiling team, but also have a lower floor than teams like SEN. At their best, they ARE one of the best teams itw, with Cryo leading the charge as that hypercarry, with asuna bang and eeiu as the supporting cast, great igl in Boostio and a world champion coach. on their day, which is like 70% of the time, i think they can beat anyone itw. It's that inconsistency that has plagued this org for the last 3 years that makes people doubt them. I don't blame you for doubting, but a normal 100t team currently is at least top3 for me, i would put them 2 behind sen

i dont see it, especially when looking at the map pool. DRX ban according to team, while RRQ ban Bind as the insta

if they lose, they don't deserve it, plain and simple. my point is NRG are playing at a (somewhat) level playing field here. Before the split, they were 5th-7th range, playoff range

out of everyone there, ethan has been the best at his role. i'm not kicking a (i still think) world class support player because those are hard to find

NRG does have some room, they were 3-3 before this split, the same as SEN and G2

it's 2 OTs, khalil and nzr went insane

lev kru and c9 are 5-1 current;y, sen is 4-3, then it's g2, 100t and EG at 3-3, nrg at 3-4. So EG is currently at the 5th-7th range, with a worse map count than G2 and 100t

emergency sub. aproto had a health scare and sherb subbed in mid-map. he said he's ok. i would assume he will play the next game

I love prx, i'm not putting a team that hasn't won anything internationally in the top 5

i think he's improved so much compared to last year as well. his midrounding was the main reason why people was critical of him last year, this year he has been so much better with it

I think run it back with the same roster, but change the coaching staff. I would love to see mini back as head coach. Elma’s tactics and conditioning for this team I think has been poor, especially on lotus today against a bad comp. Beside this, I don’t see an upgrade in emea, tier 1/tier 2, for this roster

honestly that was such a stomp, i think it could get even worse

it's their best map by a mile

take a guess

stomp upon stomp upon stomp

even still... i actually feel bad. they finally planted the spike in round 9...while using 4 ults... to win 1 round

it shouldn't be if teams are fully conditioned and prepared

i mean can you even jinx this?? they are fucking stomping them on their map pick

The way they played won’t work vs 100T. The reason why they “looked” good vs lev was because they have a game plan to avoid/counter aspas. 100T is a very different team compare to lev. Their teamwork and timings are so much better than lev, without having to really rely on one singular player to hard carry. Also fut’s map pool vs 100T is a horrid matchup

more like fut was avoiding aspas at all cost. and it's not like lev can send aspas looking for a fight in the middle of nowhere while on defense side.

don't cope and say he's shit after one bad game now. don't say that. it's not smart

you're just begging for him to come back

i mean it does seems like they were burnt out. remember they grinded their ass off during the off season

aight he's elite but chill out now

then why is the score looked so close? they both played well, dfm played better. also xccurate got many timings is a good thing, it means they read the play well to position themselves to that position, it's just they lost their gunfight. Losing gunfight doesn't automatically means that they played horrible. that's just losing gun fight, the enemy hitting shots...

no they didn't lad. yes there were mistakes, but that ascent from dfm was really nice, and sunset they did make mistakes, but they adjusted, read them well, they just lost their gunfight. can't just look at the score and team and say they played bad

they played well. you can't just based everything off of stats and stuff. DFM ascent looks really cool and would probably beat most teams in pacific if they were the one first time playing it. sunset they played good, some mistakes here or there, but so did dfm.

the coach literally said he's not playing chamber today

and lakia. and munchkin. and meteor

it's fine. they can pay the fine form the sen bundle sales

if that was any other team in the world, geng is 3-0 or 3-1 them. they were that good for a rookie team

lad it's last map in the grand finals. and it's zellsis. and he's fucking carrying them. what did you expect

Tenz is half absolutely trolling, half absolutely ridiculous

no shot. they are gonna pick split if it's open. and i still think geng should still ban split instead of lotus

lad it's not a chessboard, ethan is not the king and everyone else is not the pawns. an igl is not solely responsible for the entire team not shooting back. that's on the coaching staffs for not making a setplan protocol, that's on the entire team for not shooting back, not executing well enough, that's due to your opponent playing an incredible game. everyone is to blame, not the igl alone

are we really blaming all of this on ethan??? a "bad" igl doesn't make your team looks like noobs, your opponent playing ridiculously well makes them looks like noobs. His calling on the first 2 maps are good, and it does look like they haven't scrimmed the comp on split enough since there wasn't ideas or concrete setplans in play

what a knife holy shit

i think this team is more likely to not throw against someone like vitality, but way less likely to beat the Fnatic like they did last year. i think their ceiling has gone down by quite a bit

bro cooked, but his 52 years-old reaction time couldn't keep up with the cooking, so he hired a student in good old charles neddington and taught him his recipe

i mean if he wins, im sure he doesn't mind

cuz aside from prx and maybe t1, apac doesn't look that deep. they will farm ofc, probably 2nd

i think this fits tenz a lot, always thought of him as a second entry not the primary entry. he needs more experience on omen ofc which he will get. looking forward to see what sen can do next year.

honestly it's something that only paper rex would genuinely cook up. roles looks a bit weird though. maybe testing phase

hanwha life. Deft's DK beat them to get the last spot in Worlds this year

cuz his team didn't qualify? also wasn't the finals mvp. kingen was

where's will?

saadhak confirmed on X (yuck) that he's playing

give the map time is all i'll say

where have i heard that? oh basically every map that first got released. chill and let players play and figure things out

still flex is a bit crazy since that's 3+ agents that he has to learn considering the meta, xand i think would fit better than heat but that's just me
