agree, Alexis actually surprised me this tourney, she is usually the quiet one on c9, but popped off
guild x was a massive disappointment though

Glance was pivotal this tournament. great lurks and understanding of her role the whole tournament. very underrated

probably their visa for Berlin came through at the same time, so they signed officially with their teams

Ardiis said on some podcast that at first someone from riot told them that xset wasn't happy with turret incident before the descision to replay was made that's why they were angry at them.
i don't know maybe it's riot fault or one of them is lying

really interesting interview. talks about how they made the roster
we could have got SEN Ardiis or Sayf lol
and the shade on how unmotivated Tenz was lol

yes he confirmed it on Sliggy's stream

yes! Yinsu is reading the rule book for vct on stream and it actually says that if a team used a a banned exploit they FF the map

so Guild X used a known exploit during the game with Acend

as far as i know this is not allowed in vct and team were told not to use it

and they have won that round.
This is not a bug like FPX/XSET. this is a well-known exploit and riot continued and Guild won, they should replay it like champs

babybay is great but imo the other three are better and more flex than him

For NA
OP/Champer:
1-yay 2-Cryo 3-Bdog 4-Dicey 5-koalanoob/Wardell

Flex/Duelist:
1-Zekken 2-Victor 3-Zelsis 4-Babybay 5- JonahP/Nismo

Initiator:
1-Crashies 2-Bcj 3-Trent 4- Flyuh 5- jovahnii/Brawk

Sentinal:
1-neT 2-moose 3-FNS 4-wippie 5-BabyJ

Controller:
1-Marved 2-Zander 3-Supamen 4-Valyn 5-Ayrin/aproto

IGLS:(anyrole)
1-FNS 2-Zander 3-Dephh 4-Poised 5-Valyn

supamen or zander?

actually that would be a good roster for c9

agree

but they need an op/chamber player neither leaf or mitch are good opers. or they can try and be like 100T and run other comps but i feel like that's a hindrance

from the three confirmed teams, which one need roster changes and who?
i say nrg, maybe -hazed +zander and a more consistent initiator
also c9 maybe -curry +trent
and sen they have to solve the SicK dilemma, is he back full time player and will he play smokes or flex

agree, although i would say instead of mistic. but either way he is better than both mistic and enzo

If the observers hadn't caught the Turret bug during the round, they wouldn't had to reply because no replay system

Agree that's why they choose attack first. it's double edged choice and Ange1 himself said that on an interview. I think it won't last long though

they are so good, on any agents they play. Their agent's pool is crazy. It's a shame that MC3 are having a bad time and the team cohesion is bad.

agree, i think they the only one that can tbh

maybe if they work on it more but i doubt that they currently can

can DRX or Loud beat them on icebox? i think no but it will be great to watch and hoping to see it next masters

agree purp0 will be a great addition, i love d3ffo especially lan d3ffo but i think it's his time to go

yeah russian sentinals are crazy. him nAts and even wippie in NA

lol isn't that what all casters and analysts do?

i agree, that should be the main focus, they desperately need a coach and it's kinda weird they have no one till now..i don't know if it's the management decision or players wanna work was someone specific and they couldn't get but if they stay like this it's gonna be bad even if they qualify. All other teams are improving and they are standing still. and yeah they get a lot of hate and clowning on them. but they genuinely look very bad and it's sad actually because they are great players

maybe, but their comp today is still viable and other teams still use it. but they are bad still
and i find it weird that kanpeki as a flex doesn't play sky or kayo and shaz does! and they put him on sage, like what ..?!

why are they so bad at this map? they lost on this map so much with different comps and even when they had a coach. they haven't won on it since masters berlin i think
is it a mental thing or what?

is this when they finally step up and became tier 1? Ethan meshes great with them and even improved tex role

he is doing good, and i think he is improving every match because he is a smart player. but i feel like he was great at flex and had bigger impact. it would have been better if they replaced zombs with another smokes player instead of switching roles like this. but it's the begining of the play offs so lets see...and their biggest mistake is not signing a coach anyway

China is huge on mobile gaming so i guess they wanna tap the market

I think with the jett nerf we will see more other duelists specifically neon, raze and yoru since chamber has the op role right now

i remember chet talking about map pool on an interview saying as long as they can ban breeze they are fine

maybe they will show up who knows but i don't think so

they are forced to play breeze. their perma ban map. that's fucked :D

Holy 5Head

i wish, but it will be optic or loud

definitely having a great tournament, his lurks on icebox were insane

stax's ace on bind vs prx and marved's ace on fracture vs guard
literarily shifted the tides of each game to their teams
great to see to be honest

i think they would have benefited more from playing in group stages against relatively weaker teams, just to get their feet down as they are young and this is their first lan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoOaJEJfdTU

looks like it was Ethan's decision

They dominated all of EMEA teams, and from the showing of all teams so far, i think they are better than most of them if not all. shame what happened tbh
