I have been watching, loving, and supporting this team since January 2022, after The Guard won NSG 14, where, in the semis, they defeated T1 2-1. I have watched the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. I watched Saya and trent rip through 100T in the 13-0. I watched Saya clutch out a 1v3 to win The Guard the fifth map in the Best of 5 against Optic to win NA stage 1. I watched Optic rip away the hopes and dreams I had as a little Guard fan when we lost the 10-4 lead on map 3 at Rekyavík. I watched neT not realize that Jinggg was right behind his lurk as they got humiliated on split. I watched eeiu clutch out a 1v5 to shut the door on The Guard making a comeback to qualify for Split 2 playoffs. I remember having so much hope for LCQ to win it all just to watch 100T 3-0 in embarrassing fashion. I remember waiting to see the partnered team reveal and being outraged that The Guard wasn't a part of the 10 teams representing Americas. I remember watching tex slot into the team perfectly to rip through tier 2. I remember neT starting a stream but having to end it because he was on the verge of tears knowing his job security was crumbling in front of him, as he watched all his co-workers at The Guard be laid off by upper management. I remember The Guard bouncing back, better than ever, despite the tough circumstances the players were in. I remember being nervous that The Guard wouldn't even qualify to ascension, as they had to make a daunting lower bracket run to face moist, whom they lost to previously. I remember The Guard going undefeated in their ascension run to make it back into the tier 1 league, even though, in my heart, they were never not tier 1. I remember seeing the devestating tweet sent out by the VCT, announcing that The Guard and its players would not be able to upgrade to the tier 1, as the org decided to not sign the agreement, and instead, left esports entirely. I remember G2 sending a reply to a tweet saying that it may be possible that they could pick up The Guard's players and bring them into tier 1. I remember seeing the announcement video from G2, showing that the rumors were true. I remember G2 losing an 11-2 lead vs SEN in the showmatch held in the offseason. I remember watching G2 lose to EG and MIBR, wondering where the team I loved went. I remember watching G2 be placed into a do-or-die scenario vs SEN, where they lost an 8-4 lead on Sunset to be kicked out of the top 4. I remember watching my most hated team go to Madrid and win the tournament almost flawlessly. I remember seeing neT get dropped and feel anger in regard to the G2 organization, wondering why they would drop such an integral piece of the team's identity as a whole. I remember seeing G2 miraculously qualify in a 3-way tie with SEN and NRG, sneaking into the playoffs. I remember never losing faith in G2 va KRU and C9, despite the "odds" being against them. I remember watching icy absolutely diff the likes of OXY and keznit, as they qualified to Shanghai, with everything to gain and nothing to lose. I remember watching G2 swiftly handle T1 in the opening match of Shanghai. I remember JonahP 1v4 ace clutch to defeat Heretics to qualify for the top 8 of Shanghai. I remember watching G2 absolutely dismantle the W gaming style in real time, finally besting the team that sent them home all those years ago. I remember watching paTiTek absolutely crush my hopes and dreams of watching my team make it to the grand final. I remember icy absolutely diff SEN in their revenge win to qualify them into playoffs. I remember G2 going into the "group of death" and leaving without a single loss into the top 8. I remember watching Chronicle get a full blind spraydown clutch to win FNATIC the game, and subsequently, knock put G2. I remember seeing icy get replaced with jawgemo, with the hype for the team being higher than it ever was before. I remember watching the kickoff start and seeing G2 rip through all the competition. I remember watching the swiss stage, hoping for a swift 2-0 to make it to the top 4. I remember watching EDG absolutely ruin the team on fracture. I remember watching the dismantlement of Liquid to make it to the top 4. I remember watching G2 sending Vitality to the lower bracket, and then besting EDG in the rematch to make it to the grand final. I remember watching G2 vs T1. Nothing hurt more than watching this game.
TL 2-1 EDG
DRX 2-0 SEN
G2 2-0 TE (maybe 2-1 if bind goes thru, doubt it tho)
VIT 2-0 T1
g2 > te
tl > edg
drx > sen
vit > t1

looked it up and he volunteers for a polish nonprofit for battling racism and human rights violations, what a goat
isnt kamo a racist or am i spewing out my ass
#StandGuard been their biggest fan since 2022 nsg 14 cause 12 year old me saw "JonahP" and thought pushin P (i was 12)
GUARD2 OWNS Z0KK0N AND Z0LLS0S AND N0RRATE AND ESPECIALLY J0HNQT
what if 10-4 up on fracture guard won at rekyavik...
did you just call asu the harvard of the sw
personally i think any team inside the tiers can beat anyone on any given day so dont look into the exact numbers of the teams too hard
heavy agree i think they will punch up hard
i did the eg>kru directly off common opponent, eg looked better vs loud so i put them accordingly
list is very results based
also teams inside tiers can be moved however and id think its fine
tier break
tier break
now go argue and have fun

marved ace round 16 vs guard on fracture rekyavik 😪
Put Jinggg's mom into the coaching room and let her talk to them
a 13-2 is literally never a single persons fault
bros finding any reason to hate 😭💀🙏
Tbf that was much more than just an icy problem
The whole team was dysfunctional against heretics (mix of g2 playing like shit and heretics being on FIRE)
He shows up when it's needed and that's why he beat your team and got a better Shanghai placement
Idk but this is about the third time ive heard people say that icy had a life game against big opponents
He topped the scoreboard against C9 in an ELIMINATION MATCH
Topped the scoreboard against everyone in the lobby vs PRX
Topped the scoreboard vs SEN
Every single time its called a "life game" from him
Can yall just admit icy is his name for a reason
100t vs kru 100t win imo
So then if youre not trying youre not gonna get rated
Fuck off
So then if youre not trying youre not gonna get rated
Fuck off
yeah sorry about that ill fix
they played rly bad vs mibr man...
GUARD2 ON TOP YIPPEEEEEE
Non-Playoff Teams (i ranked them separately because i dont see a point in power ranking non playoff teams ahead of playoff teams)
all non-playoff teams in the same tier imo (and even in the same tier as 100T/KRU/C9)
forgot to add "based off current form"
new week same me
based off current form
i dont feel a need to change g2/lev until g2 actually lose imo
tier break
tier break
tier break
americas stage 2 playoffs add kru and c9 to the teams at the bottom
icy has diffed prx (top fragged + 13/4 fb), keznit (9-2 in duels) and oxy (8-4 in duels)
he shows up when it matters and thats the most i could ask from a new duelist
