even EMEA's 4th seed was feared

okay good jinx for 1 good round

🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

EMEA v other teams
🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

Would've agreed pre-tournament

Losing a game you just hard choked and get shit on the next day because you're just mentally out of it

It will be a close game between FUT and DRG which I wouldn't have said before the tournament

All good they should still win (cNed too good)

Yes

Pacific is too top heavy

EMEA has a lot of good but not elite teams

Americas have some elite, some really good and some decent teams

how did a 2-4 team even make playoffs smh

tbf they should've just beaten G2

are genuinely the biggest chokers in vct

The team that got drawn first during the draw gets to select

I would not go that far

They beat a team with 2 days of practice

The experience Fnatic has in these competitions in almost unmatched

G2 used up all their luck this game

They go 0-2 in playoffs
GG

What are you watching?

They're just winning insane clutches

It would've been a 6-6 half without those

Damn this half would've been like 6-6 easily

G2 clutch instead of chokers this tournament?

would've been even basically without Valyn

What a goat

yes for losing while having 2 days of practice

yes they've had 2 days now xd

too obvious
1-2 NT

nAts (Chronicle/cNed)
Yay
Alfajer/Leo

They will definitely be one of the favorites
If they actually keep putting Wo0t on Jett for Jett maps they will have an extra layer added that will benefit them a lot

I mean if it was Heretics with full roster it would be a 80/20 game for them but with no practice it's fine to expect G2 to beat them

actually yeah he can probably 1v5 on split xd

But nah overall I believe Americas teams have been better on split and Bind is a really good map for G2

TH is not that insane on Bind and Split (still good tho)

If G2 gets 2-0'd tho it's not a good sign for the Americas teams

Would've said the same if they had gotten FPX

Only team that you wouldn't have said it about is Gen.G which is 1/7 possible options

Yo the odds changed overnight?
G2 was the favorites but not anymore

Don't forget about Heretics mate

we're talking about 2 years ago here

Those players are getting replaced in other regions except for the actual elite ones

xd
if FPX win another map and 100T gets to pick first

damn they might actually be unleashed after their first win

ROXI GOAT IS BACK WOW

LETS GO ROXI

Bro why is everyone going for male pros?

That being said, I choose Chronicle

of going winless (series) at the 2nd international event of the year?

They prioritized 3 regions over Americas

BIG W

T1 should've beaten G2 so they're on the same level imo

(so far)
Gen.G v FPX (best v worst)
G2 v TH (2nd v 3rd best)

EU got blessed
Fut v DRG
Lev v T1 (banger)

It should've been 2 EMEA 2 APAC tho

Gen.G will probably be a bit too good

Patitek is really good but against the best of the best he will go -20

Bro Heretics is gonna be so good at champs

They should actually play him on Jett on Jett maps since Miniboo is also just insane on kayo

it's gonna be Lev v Fut isn't it

Who wins?
Fut wins if they don't choke imo (but likely that they will tho) so I say Lev beats them if they get drawn

Gen.G win game 3
TH beats DRG

Good way to start the tournament

(T1 and Fut managed to choke harder than G2 and FPX)

I have these two teams on the same level
Top 4 candidates (PRX, 100T and Fnatic ahead of them)

I'm expecting the same from Fnatic (Masters form instead of Champs tho)

LEV/Gen.G -> NO

G2 -> yes (60/40 in favor of G2 tho)

TH/DRG -> yes

They're not in a bad spot to make it out

They did not win stage 1 but they did get their series win in Shangai!

their ecos have been way closer than their full buys

thrifty incoming

That's without Chinese numbers tho

This game probably doesn't even have 1 mil without Chinese viewership

this ain't the Fut we saw in EMEA

harsh truth

Looks like it's Fnatic v the world again but this Fnatic ain't the same as last year

(Heretics with full roster would be good as well tho)

what the two teams that will go 0-2 you need therapy son
