G2's looking like the Final Boss of this first event.

Escaped in a lateral move... to a team that's really not that good as well. xD

Next prediction is 100% accuracy. Bet :P

1. I don't care about your wordy breakdown to simp for a player that I don't even have an issue with. I think Cryo is good, but I also know that there is other, younger talent available. He's also certainly not more of an issue than Boostio and Asuna, which is fair to say, but you're focused on running protection for your baby boy, so let's break it down.

2. He has good aim, and I never said that he didn't, but he is also like Asuna in that he hasn't rotated out of their starting roster for years. Over two years at this point, right? So eventually when a certain roster isn't working you probably should have a total overhaul, and Zander + eeiu are new additions that are perfect to rebuild the roster around, and they've proven their worth already. So yeah, I suggested and still suggest Cryo move on because THAT PLAYER might very well need a change of environment as well. I'm not just thinking about "my favorite players" I'm thinking about their mental, and you can't tell me that theirs isn't shot, or at least close to blown out of over and over trying to make this squad work only to fail miserably.

3. His team got "relegated" not delegated. Also you do realize that like... MOST players in pro play have their stat-lines weighted... FROM PRO PLAY competition, right? So you're insulting a 0.8 kd which is literally like the 60th percentile, better than half of pretty much any league in the world... So it's closer to average than anything, and over half the pros in VCT don't even boast as high as that already. He has a 1.32 on raze, a 1.12 on Jett and 1.15 on Yoru which are all the relevant duelists anyway, and his KD only tanks when he's OFF-ROLE. So you can take your hamstrung average and shove that as an argument point, cuz he's actually an excellent duelist when his teams are letting him run what he's known for... which is DUELIST.

That being said,

• Pa1nt is a rising star at present on Shopify Black with a 1.32 Raze, 1.36 Jett and a 1.13 Yoru
• Penny I've already argued plenty for and he is already a known banger of a Duelist
• Boni from QoR has a 1.37 Jett, 1.30 Neon, 1.21 Raze and a 1.12 Yoru
• Jerrwin has been making BIG waves with the recent rise of Trust in Plug. He boasts a 1.35 Jett and a 1.27 Raze along with an enormous champion pool and flexibility(clearly with a pool so large)

And now that we're on the topic I think Boni and Jerrwin might very well be better options, but the point still stands. There are other options that would be quite potent options to replace Cryo with should they want to, and the benefit to them is that they're STILL YOUNG and have a lot more growing to do. The place these players are at right now is not their ceiling, but Cryo's hanging out like a chandelier.

But again, I don't give a shit if they keep Cryo. He's the only one that you can even argue for keeping. So if the team were to end up as Zander, eeiu, Cryo, Thi9f and Rossy, would you be happy enough not to cry your little laundry list of half-baked points in your little argument? Cuz I still think that's a sick roster too. I'm just considering their future first and foremost, and thinking about longevity. Because roster longevity + success with that roster is something that 100T has always lacked, despite Cryo having been a part of this project for over TWO YEARS. 2+ years, but nothing to show for it.

Regardless, their next best move is...

Zander - Stays
eeiu - Stays
Cryo - Stays or "sidegrade" to Boni, Jerrwin or Penny
Boostio - Out for Rossy
Asuna - Out for Thi9f

Cryo's supposed to be the Duelist, but he doesn't strike me as a premier NA aimer, dude. I don't think you have to drop him to have a successful roster come out of what they have, but there are better options with more impact.

Zander - Smokes
eeiu - Initiator
Boosti - Out: Rossy - In as IGL
Asuna - Out: Thi9f - In as Sentinel/Flex
Cryo - Out: Penny - In as Duelist

Show me where he's had a game anywhere near this performance on a stage as big?

Nobody wants the heat from a s0m, Ethan, Mada, Rossy and Verno roster, dude. Only other change I'd make is maybe Mada for a different ADHD brain(Jett player).

C9 slot should be taken by G2 and when G2's two years is up C9 should rotate out of the VCT instead of G2.

Boom

kekw xD

I've got a sneaking suspicion that G2's gonna end up being such a functional and popular organization that Riot will prefer to have in the league that it'll be one of the other teams who aren't taking VCT as seriously who get shafted out of the league. G2 is far and away a better org than Trash9 and maybe Furia or MIBR. Clearly G2 does it a whole lot better than some of these other orgs, and I expect that Riot will want that to be their standard for the league, so don't be surprised if they stick around longer than you expect. That two years could become perma.

Totally true, but it doesn't change the fact that EG's getting some glory on the cheap-cheap.

Ass9 eats shit again. Most underwhelming team NA. EG pays their players shekels and those dudes still look better.

Based

I think you literally got everything wrong that you could have with your prediction. xD

Score was wrong
Winner was wrong
Xeppaa ate THE MOST shit that he maybe ever has in pro-play

pfthahahaha xD

C9 tears

Absolutely. Oxy bitches until he gets his way from Daddy Jack's dumb ass to drop a player who you know for a fact only got kicked because he challenged AND questioned Oxy's "divine authority", and now they shit their way out of the tournament ALMOST as quickly as they could have. Jack's already proven to be a shitty, egotistical org owner for years now, this is just another display of his glaring ineptitude. Your favorite org's ass. Do yourself a favor and switch up that flair, babe.

Always will be when Jack's ego is running that shitshow

Trash9, baby. Huck the one player on your team that challenged Oxy's whiny ass and you proceed to shit yourself right out of this tournament almost immediately. Never gonna be at events, and whotf cares.

I tell it like it is.

The level of simping for the biggest clown org in all of the Americas needs to be studied too I think. The name "clown9" was earned, it didn't just come out of nowhere, fool

Oxy shits his pants if he doesn't get his way with who's on the team. He forced Rossy out because he got challenged by the dude. Weak af xD

Clown9 is literally the one team on this planet that I will forever root against no matter who, or what region, they play. Jack's an egotistical narcissistic idiot who will torpedo his own team no matter what, and ONLY when IGLs or coaches question him or his sweet little baby OXY-moron. Don't question Oxy, and don't question Jack's AUTHORITAHHHHH, and as long as you don't do that he'll pay you shekels like the expendable trash they consider everyone else to be.

GO MIBR! Put those trashmonkies in their places.

bdog, Stellar, penny, jake into the squad, everyone else out except havoc. Havoc adopts the sentinel role(cuz he can still bring the rain on chamber)

This lineup clears 80% of the teams in this tournament

He might just be an NA hater. There are a lot of those.

I think he's too young to be washed, but I think he's got some extremely broken mental or some sht goin on

Welp, he didn't play great, but Com and King absolutely dicked Furia xD

Sometimes the script writes itself xD

LITERALLY NRG just needs to buy Rossy for the IGL role and let him learn under assistant coach FNS for a couple years. Both players still get paid and have their involvement with the team while they literally turn an already talented Rossy into fucking TONY STARK on the server.

You mean... CINEMA

They been frauds since they lost their core.

Lel indeed

Hopefully, cuz Zap's one of the biggest shit talkers I've seen, and he's got absolutely zero to talk shit about.

eg's gonna end up not being as bad as you think. big bet

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-huh... welp... it WAS 2-0, at least. So you called that part... xD

Bro, these players are still nasty. The NA boys are insane mechanics+aimers. The only thing they ever struggled with was strats and keeping their cool.

No argument, Leo's insane, but he's also been dealing with a lot of health stuff and I doubt he's been playing with the same level of consistency, so you also can't expect him to come back in a month or so and be the SAME Leo. Just be prepared for whatever you get.

Also Crashies played well, ya dope. xD

Played fine, bud. It's interesting that you think KAAJAK was the answer to replace Derke...

Okay, ONLY +8, but a hell of a lot better than your ass would want to give him credit for. xD

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... you sure about that?

Literally NO MATTER the outcome, the NA squad can get no flame or hate because they're literally filling in. You just can't shit talk from that position, and 2G should win this all day long. That being said, watch them fuck it up xD

Yeh, corrected it

He not doin well, but gotta say. Abyss sucks the absolute fattest of cox on this planet. Whatever idiot thought this ass map was a good idea needs to be fired.

N-B4 Crashies goes +15

Dude's legit, can't deny it. And I don't know wtf the rest of them were doing besides he and Flor.

Actually the most accurate comment.

Fr0d is definitely not the problem with MIBR's timid squad, bud.
