yes but at the same time this was a weird year and we are still missing our Lord and Savior Leo

he had to do it because of a bet with Woot at the beginning of the year lmao

People in this post not seeing Chron answering to his own post "i aint reading allat" lmao
he was literally memeing the people that talk about the draw saying it's "rigged"

the difference is fpx had won the emea split, so they would have started directly in playoff, not in groups

it's where they realistically would have ended up (they did not partecipate due to war). i mean, zeta was 3rd at that tournament KEKW
(no hate on my zeta boys, but after seeing their performances at every other event you kind of have to guess if they were actually a 3rd place team)

that's fnatic for you, if you were to bet 1cent and win the bet you'would actually have to be the one to pay, giving up your soul

FNC:
Reykjavik 2021 -> Berlin Champions 2021 -> Reykjavik 2021 -> Copenhagen 2022 -> Istanbul Champions 2022 -> Lock//in 2023 -> Tokyo 2023 -> Champions 2023 -> Shanghai 2024 -> Seoul Champions 2024.
For a total of 10 events, only missing out on Master Berlin 2021 and Master Madrid 2024

LOUD has "only" 7 (3 events 2022, 3 events 2023, Master Madrid 2024)

Paper Rex too has 10 appearances: 9 in the last 3 years (every event since 2022) + Master Berlin 2021

So, in conclusion: it's both Fnatic and Paper Rex, holding the record of 10 appearances

Tbf the FNC's boys never trashtalked chinese teams. Those were NRG and Boostio
I think FNC players are actually friends with BLG's (if I remember correctly they scrimmed a lot last year, and also gave them suggestions for their lotus)

Yes and, unless they completely bomb out at Champs (which I think is very unlikely), it's not even close

tbf i feel like last year top4 would beat this year top4 (except for GenG, who would be on even ground)
PRX 2023 > PRX 2024, FNC 2023 > FNC 2024, EG 2023 > G2 2024, LOUD 2023 > LEV 2024
(btw this is just how i feel of course)

bro tried to sneak in sen and drx

Based take
3 good weeks in Split 1 thanks to Bind (that then got antistratted and they had to ban lmao)

Was Team Heretics maybe a bit overhyped due to facing the weakest EMEA teams in Split2?

Comes in to replace Leo, and he looks like a Leo clone. This guy is crazy, insane utilities, perfect decisions and great aim.
(also, Fnatic scouting is insane holy: Derke, Alfa, Hiro)

Are you gonna play together after picking her up at elementary school? (where she works as a teacher)

Bro will need to rob a bank

This is so free

Sunset is slowly transforming in Pearl:
-Go B and play postplant

oh yea, i agree on that, i was talking about the level shown at the event. I agree with you on the format though

I think Madrid was okay, the problem was Kick off single elim format

AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH

tbf this crowd is amazing, they are so pumped up and having so much fan

she's happy to see china win, that's very different bro

bro not mentioning alfa lmao

i mean, i'd be curious to know who got navi vs liquid right
and i was a navi believer (i have them not getting grouped), but beating liquid is a different story

do you know Pansy was rooting for EG, right?
lmao, of course you'd get excited watching the best players in the world do crazy plays, but that doesn't mean she roots for them
for example achillios is supergood too and i love the way he casts, but he's superbiased towards apac team

and it's not even close

i could actually see them pull out some weird sh*t like this. i'm looking forward to it

fnatic has been in LA for a bit already, derke and mini posted about their flights, and derke and alfa posted some LA photos on insta stories in the last couple of days

He is ironic.
He means that is completely normal to lose scrims, and it's not something tonworry about.
Like, it would be more weird if teams destroyed every scrim they played.

looking at this now i don't know who is gonna get through group D
Like, Liquid and? NAVI is NAVI, LOUD got battered in scrims, DRX is still DRX
can we do, like, only the winner of group D and then give another spot to group A? lmao

Bro is cooking

Newzera answered, holy
Finally some juicy EU drama
https://twitter.com/Newzeraaa/status/1682558404542312449

they have a big advantage for sure, but it's a grand final, anything can happen
anyone in the server could have a god or bad day

fnatic has double ban, eg won't be able to ban any map
