Judging players from a ranked game playing an agent he doesnt ever play in matches!
Congrats Trembolona, you've outdone yourself

they're signing chronicle and nAts just trust

🤓

it's only because they didn't have gigachad Chet back then

sen's coach miles clear

Very random but the gun reminds a lot of the Cordite zero g skin from black ops 4, idk if they have a similar inspiration or what

How do they dont make sense

they finished top 4 emea and that's an undeniable fact. Even then, my argument still stands where a top5 team from EMEA is way better than like 95% of the non european teams going to the event, and they've proven they are capable of beating g2

even as "shit" as everyone says they're right now, they're still top 4 in emea, they still beat both G2 (once) and Guild, and they're still better than 95% of the other regions, probably including NA

braveaf wasn't making it to iceland either way. You're overreacting. Emea is far from finished and is still favorite to take it all. There's no point in playing the victim

number 2 is true no matter what

Reasonable. He won't play at Iceland either so they probably aren't even scrimming with him right now. I imagine by the time he would play again, he would be either cleared or out of the team completely

I made it up

character development right here

MCE really the godfather of NA val

1- That title probably goes to OpTic although FNS may be lacking firepower-wise.
2- I think Guard have worked hard enough to be considered a top team, but I agree that they're still kind of new to the scene and slowly but surely other teams will adapt to their playstyle and tendencies so they might fall off a bit.
3- I think Hiko has tier 1 potential but is definetely not a top 5 sova right now.

Wait is this new? I thought he would've stopped talking in rankeds after the tarik incident...

Ange1 has played the last two matches wdym?

They’ve only had 1 sub

oh shit I thought that was his first pc game, must've got it wrong then

He's joining TSM bro didn't you hear?

Didn't he play Rust?

FNS currently has 2750 viewers. He's probably receiving a decent amount of donation and subs. Tonight, as he lays in bed and checks his statistics, he'll realize how much money he can make by streaming instead of scrimming. He will probably spread the groundbreaking news with the rest of the roster. He's slowly but surely on his path of joining the dark side.

yay and leaf

I think they're baiting

Tbh double elimination is the safer to ensure a more competitive bracket. But as a neutral viewer, single elim is just so much more exciting

I'm 100% sure the players would love to go to iceland even if that meant playing with different players.

ratio + go watch vitality draw all their games

I think people overall respect them enough but the focus has been always on either Sentinels performance (more popular team) or The Guard's rookie story. If you ask anybody their opinion on OpTic going to iceland it'd be something like "yeah, makes sense. they're good" But if you ask them about the guard qualifying or Sentinels going out so early they could write you a whole essay

how is 2 players + a player that's helped them throughout most of the group stage and all play offs not good enough? Compromises are going to be made anyways, imo this is more fair than sending a team that doesn't deserve to be there

it matters because them being able to play or not is the whole point of this thread?

did you even read the second part, where I actually made the point why they could've brought two stand in players?

Sentinels / sentinel bait too old bro

riot have said that they're still evaluating on how to reward fpx with cirquit points and prize money, thats probably not going to be permanent

yeah the format doesnt make a lot of sense. Idk see how NIP beating Leviatan (for example) would automatically mean that Loud get a better seed than KRU, despite having done nothing to prove they're "better"

Better Call Saul and Marriage Story / The Irishman

ironic

here before someone does an outrageously racist comment

It says LATAM/BR playoffs, are Loud and Kru playing a final match then? Or will it be the winner between Leviatan and NIP?

not really I dont think. They still have almost two weeks to resolve their IGLing issue and even then, they're still top 4 emea as they stand right now, even beating G2 just a few days ago. I think people are overreacting about how good/bad they really are

kind of but most orgs in esports right now are not making a return at all. Tbh I dont even know how sentinels stays afloat with 0 sponsors and paying the team tier 1 salaries. Most of the orgs right now exists thanks to venture capitalists who are hoping to make a return in the future, but most of them just aren't on the level of tsm, faze, 100t, etc.

baddyg has been with fpx for the better half of their vct run, he's been fundamental to their success. Riot themselves have said they were willing to relax the emergency substitute rules so It wouldn't have mattered anyway

Yeah forgot about suygetsu but baddyg basically takes up a spot anyway

1- Its not about him having covid now. Its about him having covid for when he needs to fly, which he probably wont.
2- Riot themselves have said that they were willing to make exceptions to the “sub rule” for fpx, although it couldnt happen still + baddyg has been playing for fpx so long hes basically part of the team. I think the 3 players thing is not relevant if they could still be majority fpx (ardiis, zyppan, baddyg + 2 subs)

Im taking chronicle over mixwell every day of the week personally

If liquid get their shit together, theyre going to be favorites for sure. G2 the favorites for now still. I feel like emea still is the most likely winner

Imo they shouldve went with 2 more subs for Shao and Angel. The whole “ardiis covid” thing seems such a stretch and just another excuse to make the whole thing seem more complicated than it actually was. Hes going to be more than fine by the time he needs to be. I hope that for the future events, if they still cant take russian and ukranian players out, that maybe they host the event in poland or helsinki and find a compromise where the players play online. Its just not fair right now

It's a measurement of how little social life we have

yeah that's possible but their offical statement says that they're still evaluating how they will recognize their achievement with cirquit points and prize money, we'll see I guess
