it's gonna be heartbreak

Asia fully deserve their first title so it's time to earn it today

Paper Rex will just put him on perma clove no?

They would make it work as well

more bundles sold

who is the real winner now huh?

Never seen a bigger cap

Yeah very good agent for ranked and not for pro play

finally the guy gets to play agent he can 1v5 on (please Ange1 don't start playing smokes again now)

Navi might be saved

Who else could fry on this agent? (don't see it getting used in pro play tho besides some goofy teams with wacky comps)
maybe gets played as a 2nd duelist instead (PRX type beat)?

Very good agent for ranked not so for pro play

Won't bring more value than an Omen would or any of the smokers on their respective maps.

Shao is playing smokes tho even better

Let's look at the maps
Sunset yes but will get banned
Lotus/Bind yes one of them gets banned + they're favored on the one that remains.
Split yes they still can show up on the day and put on a masterclass but still favor Gen.G
Icebox yes since Gen.G runs a suboptimal comp
Ascent yes but still favor Gen.G
Breeze probably not

They have a shot at 4/5 maps so it's definitely not as one-sided as it's made out to be.

If they somehow win Breeze it's gonna be a 3-0 for Sentinels since that will mental boom Gen.G

Jup unless they trust their own Lotus more than their own Bind even after their loss against Sen.

Then Lotus would be 2nd map (Sen pick) and split 4th map

Could honestly see that happening

Fnatic and NRG for sure and I also believe a lot in Lev and Heretics (now they've got the experience + full roster).

Loud has a lot of work to do now but they will be there for champs for sure

Of course

It's always been like that

Show up on the day and you win

I don't care how good you're on a map if 2 kids each drop 30 you're very likely to lose that map

neither of the finalists will make top 4 at any other international event this year

or not so hot take

Meh don't think so

That top 4 could only lose to each other imo

and it has Gen.G winning

Is he/she gonna all the way?

unless Gen.G can keep their mental up like they've been doing all tournament long then it could even be a 3-0

Shoot heads and shoot heads

Make em nervous make em feel like everything is on the line and play better under that pressure

They've got some scary dudes but if Gen.G play at their level it should be in the bag

EG was good on so many maps

Fpx was on a damn run and were never gonna lose that one

This should be it
Better map pool, better form, better players, better preparation better everything basically!

then I don't know when will be the day

Asia gets their first trophy baby

Sunset banned
Lotus/Bind banned

First map Breeze?

Gen.G Favorites on all maps (except Lotus/Bind) but Sen can definitely also win on Split and Icebox maybe even Ascent if Zekken farms

Conclusion Gen.G needs to choke to lose which could happen in a grand finals

Gambit and Acend were not double-elim

More than upper bracket

3/5 events

Optic
Fpx
EG

Edit: I forgot about Sen v Fnatic but that didn't have the 2 map bans back then (just 6 maps so 1 ban advantage)
Still 3/6 events

whats more likely?

obvious but it's normal at the start of the year

it's so obvious that Gen.G will choke hard tmrw

4/5 raze maps already won one of them there's no world in which Sentinels doesn't win 2 more maps

Prx need Ascent or it's a 3-0
Prx can win Ascent and Sunset and map 5 will be a banger

are 2 different players

Gen.G will beat them easily tmrw

Monyet sold this map

This team will become something special I can feel it

They will win Shangai or Champs

Sen 3-2 Prx

Gen.G 3-0 Sen

Gen.G?
NRG?
FNC?
Lev?
TH?

.

Both of them had really good chances against PRX so don't be delusional
Heretics should've even beaten Sen tbh

It's clear that PRX is a different team in elimination games this tournament

lost to Sentinels because they got cocky and played them on the only maps Sen is good at + this Paper Rex that doesn't give a fuck (0 stress) and is a monster in these elimination games

Cope

Asia wins their first title?

Or do we need Paper Rex to make grand finals to solidify it

Out of the 3 teams I can only see Loud beating Gen.G tho

Sunset + Lotus/Bind ban

Gen.G will play Ascent, Breeze and Icebox in grands + split so Sen has no chance unless Pacific choke of course
