If LEV was DRX of their region they wouldn't be losing moron

underrated, maybe, but compared to the korean duelist players and prx's duelists not very good.

still have no chance against DRX/GENG but could qualify for Tokyo vs. PRX

sorry bro GE will win

dude, it's starting to become an issue

\

nah this is fax tho
livin in chicago 20% of dudes r really girls

zombs won reykjavik and mako never even reached grand finals, there is no comparison

The Pacific League is self-explanatory. DRX was always dominant because they've stolen away literally pretty much the best players for every role of the region.
The EMEA league has FNC dominant because EMEA has a lot of awesome players but they're all split into a bunch of shitty teams, while FNATIC has managed to make a roster with 5 top players.
Americas would be more competitive if NA teams had a fucking brain.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

zekken, xeppaa, and who?

even if mako and marved are equally valuable as players, mako plays exclusively controllers while marved cannot (or doesn't) play viper. as such, in terms of being a controller player mako>
agree with most other takes but who tf is bang

zeta fans arrogant after beating GE and RRQ 2-1 lamoe
GENG 2-1

u guys think geng has a chance or nah?

they're just bad.

foxy9 really out here looking like reykjavik tenz

yo. talon. bro.

i am so tired of supporting this team every year we play well at the first tournament of the year and then we fucking throw by trying some dumb insane shit. can we just stick to doing what has worked before especially when we have tried every year to cook new shit up and then flop miserably? i am so stupid for having hope before the league began that we can be a good team let alone a top team this year

same reason that lakia wasn't on the team for so long
they just have so many good players

no it's just that foxy9 only hits head while zest occasionally hits body

yes

uh i'd say top 6 are good

why

wouldnt have even disagreed with you 3 weeks ago
2-0 DRX tho wtf have talon been doing

as if yoru will ever be viable

south korea is just drx lmeo

banger

difficult to determine whether one shit is nastier than another

Foxy9 will be replacing Zest.

BuZz is clearly one of the best Jett players in the league, but unlike Aspas, his team doesn't always play around his very good Jett.
Instead, he plays Raze on maps like Fracture and Split, which are more suited for Raze.
This should be solved with the addition of Foxy9, who is really good at both Jett and Raze.
Stax said that DRX wouldn't be playing double duelist, which would mean that Foxy9 is going to be the only duelist on the team.
So the new roles would be:

• Stax: Initiator
• MaKo: Controller
• Foxy9: Duelist
• BuZz: Flex
• Rb: Flex

Of course, this depends on whether or not Foxy9 is going to replace Zest.
Thoughts on the new roster?

100t should've always been worried

forgot lol i was looking at weird website.
navi clearly on par with drx

Just assessing strong/popular teams in no particular order.

NRG: crashies is one of the best initiators, and FNS is as far as I know one of the best IGLs as well. Honestly, I've always been a bit skeptical of Victor, but he was still a valuable part of OpTic so I won't count him out. S0M showed up really nicely at LOCK//IN and I can never forget ardiis' clutch against DRX. I'd at least consider NRG an NA superteam, if not a global one.

DRX: If Zest or Rb are the weakest links, then DRX has to be a superteam. stax and buzz are two of the best intiators/duelists, while I personally consider MaKo to be the best controller right now.

C9: Not even a question after yay left.

LOUD: All members of the team are equally valuable, in my opinion, and they're equal to the highest standard.

100T: Noteworthy members of Cryo and bang. I didn't see much from Cryo at LOCK//IN, but I think that's just because he was on Omen for whatever reason. bang is great, but not comparable to MaKo or Tuyz. But even if Cryo was Derke level or bang was MaKo level, Asuna, Stellar, and Derrek are not a "superteam" core.

FNATIC: Same assessment as LOUD.

SEN: Superteam on paper with core of pANcada, Sacy, and Zekken. Unlucky that they went up against FNATIC first, so I can't really assess them yet.

that's funny

drop all 5 and buy out drx

buzz is the only one i can think of rn
surely there are more though

i don't see your point. are you saying that their current roster isn't an issue?

just drop players for better ones
how could 100T expect massive differences in results if they've kept 4/5 players?

rare w take from this weird mf

before this match, 100T was an "obvious favorite." That's why FUT is an underdog, and that's why 100T isn't nearly as good as we thought they were.

perform extremely well against actual top-tier teams
the last we've seen of those top-tier matchups were at Champions

interesting that you think NA is any better than EU

but they won't win shit

Bubble Tea is best associated with (and was created by) Taiwan.

Has he ever put up a performance at an international competition?
Like I'm actually just curious because I see a lot of clips of him, but none of them are on international.

be racist

ain't no way that's even a rivalry
stax is perhaps the best initiator in the world

easily on par with stax for best initiator in the world
