idk 100t and EG are looking pretty solid. FUT and VIT I wouldn't say are trophy contenders right now but that may be because their cores have been heavily changed. I could see EMEA ending with KC TH NAVI and FUT being the top teams, FNATIC are lacking innovation and VIT's roster is < than FUT TH KC and NAVI imo. cNed needs to see shanghai though

TYSON NGOAT

mirage.......

fam what

every brazillian player I have ever seen says saucy, every player on sen says saucy

I disagree, most of these teams received hate due to how they were playing (GE sucked, DSG sucked, DRX didn't improve, and 100T underperformed massively). TenZ received hate for... Having an infected finger? His fiance having cancer? Playing poorly on a roster that received countless roster changes? The only other player specifically I could see receiving that amount of hate was ardiis within his tenure on NRG. You can say I live in a bubble all you want but at the end of the day you have to understand how it is fundamentally different to be hated for your gameplay than it is to be hated for the unfortunate things that happen in your life right?

That’s disingenuous, the only team I could really see receiving the level of hate that sentinels got was 100T and possibly NRG (ardiis specifically). People were shitting on tenz for his fiance having cancer, it was NOT the same lmao

Zellsis didn’t stay on C9. FNS, flyuh, mitch, nitro, runi, stellar etc weren’t in T1 and they picked up vanity instead

100T, C9, and I think NAVI have something going on

W KPI flair

I 100% agree

fs Jawgemo > monyet but I think he stayed because potter stayed

Ty fam you’re the goat

just wanted to say because some people get confused when people put their ethnicities as their flags and it gets really annoying when people can’t put 2 and 2 together

JohnQT confirms hes the only import at 7:00 https://youtu.be/C9Ifm_uSjVY?si=reNjA-BoriEKPcpB

I assume it’s because mako was originally a duelist player

least SEN won something, what's the point in having Mako if we're just going to bring in flashback with foxy9 and keep termi as the headcoach?

AI is praying on ur downfall, I would watch out

Sentinels has proven they care about their players significantly. The Shahz situation imo wasn’t that bad, he had been underperforming for years and doesn’t really deserve T1 right now, dapr’s situation was bad but he was never guaranteed a position on sentinels, sykko made the roster decisions anyways so you can’t really fault the org. The roster mess and sykko were pretty much the same situation, they dropped sykko (according to rob) because he was not actively trying to improve the roster and when they lost he would just make them take more breaks instead of trying to get reps in. Dephh left out of his own volition.

Sentinels since then has given Pancada the choice to do literally whatever he wants in his career; whether he wants to keep making money on SEN (same contract as when he started) or go to another team EASILY due to a lack of buyout.

The only time their judgement was questionable imo was with zellsis and pancada, however the off-season is meant for changes, and obviously zellsis is a better fit for the team, and pancada gets to do whatever he wants now.

chatgpt got confused and gave you 6 paragraphs, unfort man

SEN is one of two actually good orgs in franchising 😭

Moose is good but imo aproto + thief over jakee and wippie (if they HAVE to make changes)

Only flyuh and brawk, thief sym and aproto didn’t make teams

For sure man, insane to me that he’s going to be the only MXS player signed to T1 if this happens.

It’s probably Aproto because he left Together We Are Terrific

should've won sunset ig

my goat, have a wonderful day frenchtoast

you're viet?

number2 what happened....

stand strong king, cNed will be back for shanghai

imo saying that those teams are good is downplaying how strong TH and KC are looking right now. I don't think KOI TL or GIA really deserve to be in the conversation right now with how they treated their offseasons. Enghh looking strong as always though, interested in what else he has cooked

Liquid got shat on by koi who got shat on by every team in the league fam… Still lots of growing pains for that team

I mean tbh, can't blame them. No one wants to be seen as shit by thousands of people who are supposed to look at you as the pinnacle. That's a lot of pressure that I don't think anyone in these forums ever really realizes, even for people at the top. It's respectable of a lot of them that do not care, but I do not think that should take from the feelings of those who do. Either way, they really should not be reading VLR.

I understand sir, spread the agenda.

yk they're not actually related right..?

we won

His girlfriend is your mother, her daughter is your sister.

billibilli is top 1 ez

Bind was their perma-ban, potter said that they had nothing for that map so they just chose roles they could frag on iirc

nah keznit would hate kanye, yk how he feels about...

dude your team is g2 do you not know where tex was born

Tiers of competition. MXS and OXG play in a lower tier than 100T and C9. Even if they are better, this does not make them tier 1.

They have the skill of T1 teams, unfortunately they are T2. Those categories are not given due to skill

Idk how to break this to you but the pinoy guy and the malaysian girl are not siblings

jawg isnt on his team anymore, hopefully he learns raze because tbh I would rather see victor stay on the support role

yeah because he can't play raze lol

jawgemo is considered an americas resident

Crazyguy 💯💯💯

This idea would be good imo if it was a language filter instead

that's definitely the implication

yeah ive never seen anyone make those americas hot takes
