the seeding idea is kinda stupid cause it can give teams a reason to throw a few rounds or even a map to get a better opponent.
just cause FUT and NRG got a harder matchup doesnt matter, FUT/NRG don't deserve to win the event if they can't beat eachother. you gotta beat the best to be the best, so get over it. if anything, if you're a fan of either of those teams you should be glad this was a matchup, cause having harder opponents makes a masters win more legit.
also, anyone saying they should go back to group stage instead of swiss is braindead. a group stage draw could still put the four better teams in one group and the four worse teams in the other.
id say sen fan stocks will rise soon, rn people are just pissed their team isn't doing good after pretending to be good in 2025, so after a few more months of humbling, it should be fine
they were just a stupid filler team in 2024 when i started watching, and kept on beating the teams i liked and losing to the teams i didnt like
ngl i think babybay deserves to be here
i hate fut but i like sopp so idk what to do.
i wish he went to eternal fire man, they probably would have made london over fut
yea, but they should just pretend the same thing happened this time
pull a santiago situation and pretend the the matchups were done wrong, just so they can do a redraw
what’s so sad tho is i accidentally missed the grand final of madrid, it would have been so hype to watch.
id say fnatic just purely because their comebacks are usually in big games that matter. most of nrg's comebacks are in random games against worse teams and it mostly feels like they didn't take the first half seriously, then locked in when they were down

let’s brag about about awesome we are
heretics did a similar thing, they even made a roster change mid stage and it paid off
so give pacific 2 slots, one guarenteed to be prx and just do a playin for the korean teams
i could have sworn aspas got the bo3 record against sen in stage 1 2024, but i checked and i was wrong? i thought that lev vs sen game was a 3 map game with a bunch of overtime but it was just 2 maps.
when did aspas get the bo3 record?
i miss the look of the tokyo, shanghai, and madrid trophies, they had the best style imo. ever since bangkok they've kinda just taken the masters trophy outline and slapped a basic agent icon onto it, not even keeping the glossy purple color (london's the one exception, it looked really cool but i think i still prefer the old style)
i already accepted masculinity is a myth
burger boys roster from stags 2 of 2025
here’s one of there matches so you can see the roster

its not even the agent itself, its the fact that clove is made for ranked demons with good aim, a clove is more likely to be a better aimer than other controllers, and thats what it comes down to a lot of the time
yea, then you cant fill this website with brainless 100t support
yea pretty much, good thing i only have 3 weeks left here
i actually do have a nuclear family, i just think its stupid idea, and it feels kinda targetted to put in june of all months imo.
my state officially designated june as nuclear family month, so shoutout to all those people with traditional, generic families!!!!

so we just not gonna talk about this then?
at least sen got a map
sacy might be willing to return if he can play from brazil, which next year format allows
better idea that i saw a while ago, do double elim until top 4, then each team that would have been in the upper final get matched with a team that would have been in lower round 3, and they play a bo5 where the upper team has map ban advantage, lose and your out, win and you go to grand finals, which would be an even bo5 with no map ban advantage
imo it makes the grand finals feel a bit more fair, since some grand finals have felt like steam rolls due to map ban advantage (not all, just some)
nrg run duelist keiko on a majority of their maps comps, and when he does play duelist he always pops off. id say he was the best jett player and best phoenix player through americas stage 1
made ain’t even the best duelist on his team what are we on about
with boostios performance that year i’d say he snaked them
its not even that neon is less powerful, the worst part is that the neon players have to unlearn hopping around
yo wtf is up with this game 5v3???
i love the animation but everything else about it is dick ass and balls
damn kru really said aight thats the last straw
yea, except the qualifiers are held online and are much shorter, and (at least for last year) bo1's are used in the format.
i'd say its considerably below a kickoff masters / lockin
damn, i can’t wait to see the format for this
bump
plz i dont wanna be the worst rated player again
maybe a player isnt the best judge of who should be on a team
