get a MIBR tattoo on your ass
Does anybody know of good Thai t2 players that could possibly replace someone on FS?
Looking at vlr stats PTC is the only non-duelist with very good stats in SEA challengers. He's a pretty flexible player so you could replace him with just about anyone (jitboys? leviathan?)
Or is not replacing anyone a better idea?
Team 1: MaKo, Demon1, aspas, TenZ, johnqt (IGL), Chet HC
Team 2: valyn (IGL), Alfajer, KangKang, Shao, Leo, bonkar HC
that's true, it would have to take some really good strats
brawk Sova, Ethan Skye, keiko Omen, mada Harbor, skuba Viper
or for your barca,
GlobeX Harbor, stonezy Viper, Kajuks Omen, Fitinho Sova, Guardy Skye
that actually makes sense
you think Clove could work as an entry? I feel like you don't get that much out of them except for when they ult.
Harbor at least u have a cove to safe plant in
IGL: primmie (44 points)
Initiator: Jamppi (18 points)
Controller: kiNgg (18 points)
Sentinel: Neon (21 points)
Flex: KROSTALY (14 points)
Flex: Kr1stal (22 points)
unfortunately only KROSTALY and kr1stal are going to play a final match but I think I did pretty good overall
figures, i remember Omen duelist used to be a thing in 2022 but I think that was when Chamber could sort of be the other half of the duelist role.
Yeah I don't get why they chose Jitboys to be the second duelist? iirc Killua used to be a jett main
Jett, Sova, Omen, Harbor, Viper
or even Sova, KAY/O, Omen, Harbor, Viper, and basically let Omen be the Duelist
we know the potential of keiko and mada though. xeus and mada are actually quite similar where they have a very high ceiling but underperformed by a sizable margin in stage 1. s0pp is a different kind of player than keiko though, they will both get you kills but s0pp is more of the crazy entry Korean jett kind of player. I wouldn't put either duo above the other rn.
Really it just comes down to which team can keep the mental. I haven't been liking NRG's tendency to just falter individually in clutch moments.
yeah the alternative is FS vs XLG and NRG vs FUT but I would love to see FS and NRG go at each other.
In: Icebox, Sunset (maybe Corrode)
Out: Haven, Split (maybe Pearl)
Icebox has been out the longest and Sunset second longest. Haven has been in the longest (since 2024 stage 2). Out of the remaining, Split/Pearl/Breeze have been in the next longest, all since the beginning of the year, but overall Pearl and Breeze have been out longer than Split.
“hmm how do i bring ewc into this”
Keiko Phoenix, mada Jett/Waylay, Ethan Fade, brawk Vyse, skuba Astra. Or even Ethan Astra, skuba Vyse, brawk Sova. The plan is right there, I really don't know how we haven't made the switch yet,
letsgooo
outside of bcj that’s like 4 superstars lmao
im probably biased so ill concede that he could be more iconic
thanks! Raze I thought for sure but Deadlock is interesting, any particular reason?
Astra: happywei (1.36)
Breach: Francis (1.10)
Brimstone: slowly (1.36)
Chamber: Jemkin (1.23)
Clove: No one
Cypher: vo0kashu (1.21)
Deadlock: Kr1stal (0.82)
Fade: PatMen (1.16)
Gekko: No one
Harbor: valyn (1.11)
Iso: No one
Jett: something (1.26)
KAY/O: Veqaj (1.18)
Killjoy: AAAAY (1.29)
Miks: No one
Neon: whzy (1.15)
Omen: Neon (1.24)
Phoenix: jawgemo (1.32)
Raze: Zmjjkk (1.22)

Waylay: primmie (1.27)
Yoru: dgzin (1.38)
What is an agent that's not picked a lot rn that you think could make an appearance at London?
Hyunmin is in the convo but mada was one of the first to adopt Waylay, in their Corrode comp, and won Champs with it. Plus he is one of the most proficient Waylays at Kickoff and Santiago, before the nerf.
mada in 2026: 514 rounds on Waylay, 1.03 rating
HYUNMIN in 2026: 224 rounds, 1.11 rating.
HYUNMIN in 2025: 473 rounds, 1.03
mada in 2025: 175 rounds, 1.09
total: mada 689 rounds, HYUNMIN 697 rounds. but mada has the added Champs buff in terms of iconic.
Brimstone: Demon1/MaKo
Omen: MaKo
Sova: Leo
Phoenix: SicK/Victor
Fade: Shao
Deadlock: probably johnqt lmao
Vyse: d4v41 or leaf
Waylay: honestly could be mada
Clove: Smoggy
I swear Shao is getting underrated now.
From 2022 to early 2023 he was legit the best initiator in the world. He was rivalling Leo at Lock//in. All time he's easily a top 5 initiator.
nah don't asc players play in open quals all the time? Or is that not how it works idk
I heard someone say that this patch was probably heavily vibecoded
shoutout to Leo's 1v5 sheriff ace on GUILD (against navi?) in like 2022.
i'm g3 but have played dia/asc players in community tournaments and held my own
think i deserve plat at least
CHAROD and k0rupt have some tier 2 experience, same with Bob. Aria has been around in GC for a while I think. IDK about glowstick though.
I don't know a lot abt him but is really so hyped up that one bad map necessitates these kinda comments? He was very good the first two matches.
he def wasn't on initiator when in t2, he has 8 sova games and 1 fade game all time compared to like 150+ omen games.
ah, you're right. I was thinking it would've been brawk Fade, Ethan Omen, keiko Vyse, skuba Viper for some reason, but obviously not.
thanks for the feedback! I think EDG have insanely talented players but just talent alone doesnt necessarily make them favorites if you know what i mean. I haven't watched too much of EMEA so I perhaps am underrating them, wo0t especially, I had him at around the 20 place but thought that players like Sato and happywei were deserving. He's def an HM though.
He just isn't really comfy on Fade I don't think. Otherwise we would've had him on Fade on Lotus and Split instead of Vyse. The couple maps of Bind last year he played Fade on we lost by a lot and his stats weren't good.
And yeah I trust in Ethan's flexibility. (pause)
their form hasn't been standout since jingg and something have been playing so nice
i have more faith in valyn and derke to show out at London
XLG ban Fracture, NRG ban Split
XLG pick Lotus, NRG pick Breeze
XLG ban Ascent, NRG ban Haven
Pearl remains
HM: PatMen, f0rsaken, d4v41, Sato, happywei
He has played Astra earlier this year, on Breeze, averaging 0.87. We lost to MIBR and won against C9 those times.
If NRG leans into more double duelist, eventually Ethan is going to have to learn some more smokes because brawk can't play vyse on every map for Ethan to play initiator on, and furthermore Ethan can't play Sova.
Like let's say we swapped to double duelist on Breeze:
mada Jett, keiko Phoenix, brawk Sova, skuba Viper. Then Ethan has to play Harbor/Omen/Astra.
or on split:
mada Waylay, keiko Raze, brawk Skye, skuba Viper. then Ethan should play smokes; he can't play Skye since brawk doesn't really play any controllers.
So fundamentally there are some small kinks in agent flexibility NRG need to work out, and it's either Ethan learning more smokes or brawk leaning into sentinel/viper as his secondary role (or just learning Fade).
