lol fair, I tried to bold the important stuff, I wrote and I was like uhhhhhh this is kind of long
Probably, but I kinda wanna see Liquid vs Fnatic, it's such a great rivalry
Boaster and Derke, have both shown what LANimals they are. I am confident about this team is going to win it.
Like you said though, there are big threats that could also win it out.
I FORGOT ABOUT XSET, but 100% agree with that top 3
I would say it's 5 with Copenhagen winning potential right now, since there is like no time left almost:
Are you confident about today's match between TL vs FPX, I am not sure who is gonna win, probably would bet on FPX if I had to guess.
Firstly my use of 'we' in that context is a figure of speech, obviously.
Secondly, I am sub-quoting an interview with Enzo where he said something similar to YInsu and the rest of the EMEA desk last week, as well as the fact it was repeated by coach MiNi during his interview, they are definitely "part of the team".
Thirdly stop baiting with boring useless comments...
The tough part is there is only one spot, but it means that any team that does go will be competitive at Champions
better that than literal children doing shit like this
He plays Raze on Bind, Jett isn't played very often in general in EMEA nowadays
Can't we put age restrictions on sites, kids doing this shit is so weird
Uh oh... well at least they got a confirmed shot at LCQ for Champs.
My personal opinion is that if all things went to plan roster-wise at M1 FNC would have at least made it out of groups, putting us top 8 in the world.
Considering that we have upgraded in almost all areas as a team, I think we are now in the top 3 conversations with Loud and Optic going into Copenhagen.
Here's why:
At Reykjavik this year, as loads of people have brought up, the top 2 EMEA teams being out of it really had a massive effect on people's perception of who are the top teams in the world. I think APACs performance at M1 2022 is a little overplayed, if you think back to NUTURN at Reykjavik 2021, KR would have been a runner-up. Unsurprisingly that team disappeared off the planet of the Earth. NA and EU mostly underperformed in that tournament, the same as this year. So that removes DRX PRX ZETA from the Top 8 conversation for me. G2 is gone and the rest of EMEA is worse than Fnatic, so say both NA teams are top 4 in the world, which has never happened before.
Therefore, Fnatic is a minimum of a top 4 if not a top 3 team.
Why are people talking about Guild here????
my bad 'they' is used for singular and plural so often nowadays its confusing
fnatic have secured top seed
Ignoring the fact he is a hard-working and dedicated player who has performed fantastically recently, his father has cancer at the moment, so I think we should just leave him alone for a while. The man is going through enough.
Same with Acend logo too
I think they were on a crazy win streak thanks to dominating CIS and only lost once to Fnatic in Challengers Final for Reykjavik.
Respect the commitment to the 305, love the shape
Fun fact: in Russian "fantic" translates to "candy wrapper" - according to some twitter guy
Side buttons a are lil tacky, to press I like it but I'm happy sticking to my G Pro Wireless
No belief in the Guard to make it to Copenhagen ;-;
Ah trying to battle the Jinx, in that case yeah I hope we lose every map.
Well I mean NIP might not make it this time, the 2nd seed competition in LATAM/BR is very high.
Also new Fnatic this time
It's probably just leftover trauma from previous tournaments where people think they choked coz Fnatic didn't win, for games when they thought Fnatic had it in the bag.
However, we are definitely one of the most clutch teams on the planet!
The last time we lost and I thought the winner wasn't the better team was in Challengers 3 to qualify for Berlin, we lost to like Alliance and some random tier 2/3 teams. I never understood what happenned.
I respect the commitment to the RISE badge, most of the players have gone to good teams but not all. RIP ;-;
We won Champions 2021 and Berlin 2021.
My guy is trolling lol
Such a great couple, they're both so lucky! Hope I can find something like that someday ;-;
Unfortunately not, we peaked post Champions at 4th
I wouldn't say it's braindead (let's avoid the toxicity), anything could happen. Imagine someone said Fnatic < Kru, before Champs, you would have laughed them out the room.
Idkkkk not dropping a map was something SPECIAL, but Alfajer feels like he could have that TenZ effect Sentinels got last year
We could be no. 1 in VLR rankings by the end of the Challengers 2 playoffs if things go well!
Would be so satisfying to see, as we have never been higher than 4th.
Is that an intuition-based thought or based on the past?
Bad circumstances have greatly affected many of our previous losses.
However, I do believe Fnatic Vs. Sentinels at M1 2021 and Kru at Champions, are two games I felt we lost despite being winnable or closer fought. Again though these were very high-tier opponents. So random choking isn't something we have a history of in matches.
I think your take is a little unfair. Open to other opinions though.
Boaster's IGLing is something I trust in.
Here are some real fair concerns I believe we need to work on:
However, Enzo and Alfajer are duoing ranked a lot and are building fantastic synergy. Not to mention Mistic is a very flexible and talented player with great coaching and support to help him.
So regardless, I am very excited about our upcoming performance!
You really don't think they will do better than last Masters, the team has levelled up.
You clearly think they are good enough to get to Copenhagen at least so mind elaborating?
