No, but the flag looks better than the US flag

I mean its not like any of them really need to change anything in the first place

Sometime in January

Lotus needs to stay out for a while because of how long it was in, I like the map but it got very stale after being in the pool for so long.

At least until my next semester starts, but I will enjoy not getting daily canvas notifications about assignments being due or my professors posting messages that I don't really care about(Unless its because they canceled class of course) for about a month.

I guess we learn something new every day, the lowest I've been is Iron 3 so I didn't know

fuecoco or rowlet

I didn't know that iron 1 lobbies actually existed

You act like this is anything new, they've always been dogshit apart from one KC and VIT run.

I never said FNC sucked now did I, just like DRG doesn't suck, a team like m8's and nova suck. I said that it doesn't matter how many GF they make if they don't win them, what difference does it make to lose first vs last, you still lost.

Also FNC's 2 trophies and GF appearances don't have anything to do with their current roster now does it.

NBS's reads on the meta aside, every agent relies on aim because that's literally the main mechanic of the game, just because some need kills more than others doesn't change that. Also, he's just bad at KJ in every way util included which is why he doesn't play it.

Japan only has meiy, sugarz3ro and absol, every other japanese player in tier 1 is bad.
Also TL flairs aren't even that bad. And the only gambit flair that is really bad is shadow_monarch.
The only truth in this post is that Ange1 and ardiis are funny players and FNC have been the only half way decent team in the region in 2025.

You really think that tier 1 coaches aren't taking into consideration their whole teams playstyle and agent pools when building comps?
Also, yes every Senti is aim reliant, but so is every agent in the game, that doesn't change that he doesn't know how to use proper util on any agent that isn't sage, iso, jett or chamber.

You see though this is exactly what I'm talking about, he just relies on aim heavy agents that aren't meta and doesn't play any agents that actually require util, and then when he does his util is ass and people still defend him because he shoots good.

So explain why starting with bo1's, production issues, multiple teams having subs, happening while stage 2 CN already started, having half of the teams just finished toronto, while the teams not at toronto had a lot more time to prep and still didn't, and all the teams re-using strats from stage 1 rather than any new ones despite this being "unlike any other offseason tournament," isn't mickey mouse. The only thing not mickey mouse was the prize pool.

No but EMEA and MENA fans(Mainly TH and FNC fans) were more vocal about it than pretty much every other region

If your saying this then you didn't watch him play either cypher or veto on split. Both times he just relied on his aim while his Util did practically nothing. Also his defensive setups were bad too, he basically just rotated between the same 3 over and over.

There were a bunch of EMEA fans saying that EWC wasn't a mickey mouse tournament and that teams were actually trying just so they could claim a trophy but then when it comes to every other offseason event its just "Its the offseason, [insert EMEA team] is just testing stuff out or the new players are getting used to the team."

If DRG sucks so much without vo0kashu how did they almost win against T1? Also offseason or not it doesn't change the fact that FNC hasn't won a GF in over two years and still got 13-0'd by a triple duelist comp and even got 13-1'd by Zeta when they were playing with boaster.

I think if EMEA was going to do it, it would of had to be this year or 2024 because they made 4/6 finals and lost all of them. And I don't really think EMEA looks as good of a region this upcoming season than they have for the last 2 years.

"Learn" as in he played them and relied on aim rather than having any semblance of good util on any of them apart from Chamber and Jett

Its a period representing the end of a sentence

A regional trophy(G2 got 3 in one year) and top 4(Even wolves managed this) at a masters isn't the flex you think it is

I know they didn't have boaster as soop and its the offseason, but getting 13-0d by a triple duelist comp at soop and 13-1'd with boaster by Zeta does not bode well. Also it seems like veqaj is inconsistent and just doesn't really look like the player they thought he was. I don't see this team getting over second place much less even being in a spot where they make second place.

TS is cooked

It doesnt matter if you dont win them though and if you get 13-0d by a comp with 3 duelists

I dont think he is

I dont think this pick up is all that good, he's never really had amazing strats or anything, he's usually just saved by talent.

How did FNC get 13-0d by a triple duelist comp? I dont think this bodes well for FNC in the future, losing 13-1 on a map to Zeta and 13-0 to t1.

Can't bet on EMEA to win any trophies at the moment especially with FNC downgrading their flex

Give up on TS and hope that a Filipino team makes it to champs through tier 2

Why we putting timotino over n4rrare when we have a head to head showing that n4rrate is better. Also Oxy has been mid as hell since Americas stage 2, there is no way he's above either mada or dgzin

Has a worse record than 2023 DFM and is worse than 2025 Furia

Its not like timotino was diffed by n4rrate or something

May vora be in your dreams

I was going to like normal this upcoming season but I just feel so bad for them at this point, like they still can't beat Sen, they still have Asuna, Cryo's agent pool doesn't look any better, 100T still rely on Cryo's op hitting to win games and if it doesn't they lose. Also, bang and timotino don't look to be performing that well. The only thing they have is vora.

He's not the best mechanically or with certain util but he actually might be one of the best shock dart users I've seen.

I think this kind of paints a picture that EG was the problem not nature

Why did you even go to Uni in the first place if you hate it so much?

Acting like this isn't where the majority of 100T kills came from

Actually the only hope 100T has currently. Like how are you letting him top frag while also IGL'ing and having great util. He's going to break his back carrying this team.

I swear him and n4rrate are the same exact player

Maybe you should just tune out of 100T when they face Sen. You might be happier that way.

Asuna could never put up those numbers. And you can't even act like this was against a bad team.

nismo is better tbh

But what makes the jett bad was that it was marteen playing it not lewn.

Also astra can be an okay replacement, but there isn't really a replacement for brim on fracture currently and there just isn't a point to run any smokes over him when he does the best job.

I don't know if its a KC thing or a saadhak thing to have these comps

I think you are missing the jett on KC and both teams playing astra on fracture

I'd say these fracture comps by both teams are also worse than the sen comp
