Who are you considering the old guard

I thought the original thing was theyre Regular Season merchants and then at some point people just start saying off season merchants as well. I think it’s just an overall narrative that they’re better when it doesn’t matter

Red variant of Kohaku and Matsuba plus Red Kuronami Vandal. If you know you know.

lowkey PRX been really consistent for awhile

what elementary school did you go to where they told you countries languages

at his he bouta be making bank on the bench while chilling and then still be recognized for his talent when he is of age. bro has been around T2 long enough to have proven himself

I predict
Yay, Derrek, Supamen, Icy and I don’t really have a good idea of who the 5th might be.

exactly why are more people not understanding that the best sova on the team is zekken. If they want to bounce zekken and narrate from duelist to initiator thats fine. Zekken plays raze maps while narrate is the initiator and other way around on jett maps.

I agree bang shouldn’t be on skye because he just wasn’t good, but you are lost saying he has 0 matches

that’s fair i think it’s likely viper isn’t meta but i still think she’ll have a place in the map pool. not like before where it’s arguably playable on every map now she’ll just have her niche on maps like icebox and pearl

double controller + double senti is crazy talk

you right i may be overcooking i resign from having an opinion

you right i may be overcooking i resign from having an opinion

also i think double controller with no viper is trolling anyways

don’t sleep on Johnqt controllers if a flex is required him and zellsis both have controller capabilities.

It’s not that Zekken isn’t good at jett or that narrate isn’t good at raze it’s just that they both fell onto different initiators better.
Zekken Sova > Narrate Sova
Zekken Raze > Narrate Raze
Zekken Jett < Narrate Jett
Zekken Fade?? < Narrate Fade
Zekken Gekko < Narrate Gekko

I think people aren’t realizing that SEN is gonna use narrate for jett maps and zekken for raze maps. Neon I think is dependent on the initiators she’s played with. A big problem for SEN has been they’re bad at jett maps that’s why during the redbull qualifier they had reduxx play jett and zekken on sova.

New Ascent:
jett - narrate
sova - zekken
omen - bang
kayo - zellsis
cypher/kj - johnqt

New Bind:
raze - zekken
brim - zellsis
viper - bang
gekko - narrate
cypher - johnqt

We get Marved, Yay, Victor, and Crashies to make a roster for challengers with a young and up and coming player like reduxx. This time Yay is the goat senti IGL and proves he has the superior mind to FNS by winning ascension 2025 and champs 2026.

you just listed every clove player

bro wants yay so bad he put him twice

yeah i would say he is but i think having the aspas sacy duo is more powerful.

That’s why c0m for Sacy would’ve made more sense because I think it would give SEN and LEV both what they want. SEN needs a player with great clutch ability, not that they completely lack it but c0m is someone who can turn up and he might not have the age of Sacy but he does have good experience at this point. LEV needs someone stable for them and consistent plus it helps the vibes with the team.

Am I wrong in thinking that king is already a very good IGL. Don’t forget Lev had issues at the beginning of the year in adapting to their new team I think a big change like IGL would not be good for team cohesion.

nah that’s actually crazy

Honestly a really good take on things I think I would agree on everything. Could be exceptions for some teams in each region, but overall W.

I didn’t like Astra meta, I thought chamber meta was entertaining especially when every team developed a victor/yay or zekken/cryo type duo.

enormous population

I think the melee is going to be a fan in the video the guy says they used a FAN favorite archetype to make the melee.

Adding FPS games would skyrocket a young viewership in the Olympics. If it’s profitability they’re worried about they shouldn’t be.

I’ll see you there

I think they would try to spread them across multiple continents though and this would miss Asia.

I know this is very early, but based off of how it has gone so far next years Champs should be Berlin right? Just because we’ve gone to the regions base locations. I hope we get another masters in the US, but I have a feeling next years will be in South America somewhere.

an underrated pick would be brawk. has looked pretty fire in challengers the last two years even now when mxs isn’t doing great. also played with johnqt and kaplan on ghost so i could imagine they’d vibe well

Is this what it’s like all the time being a Lev fan this feels great.

Being a LEV fan is awesome let’s do this more often.

wait the playoff h2h not counting is criminal isn’t it?

I’m routing for Americas in champs obviously, but EMEA looking very strong.

that’s a very good idea honestly

I just mean Tier two in regards to not being in franchise. I know they’ve always played at Tier 1 level.

I just want to point out that G2 don’t get enough props for their year so far. Even if they bomb out of champs (which I don’t they do) I would say that it shows a lot about NA Tier 2. The Guard core only made two changes coming into franchise and arguably Icy and leaf aren’t like 1 to 1 upgrades, but that just shows even more how good of a coach JoshRT is because he managed to scout 2 perfect pieces for their team.

Props to NA tier 2 and the G2 roster. GOATS

Americas right now doesn’t seem to have abyss in the map pool and the others do for playoffs. I know it’s not much of a big advantage, but whatever teams show abyss in other regions is going to be disadvantaged by showing an extra map in their pool.

I was poorly mistaken and not familiar with your game.

I was 460

Is that the one that had so many hackers the last two years?

talon would really be an exciting team then.

sScary on any other team is exciting, this one especially. Is surf really the best option? I know it’s just for the sake of the reunion, but he just seems inconsistent. Imagine like cgrs or is there anyone else that could play a good sentinel/flex?

Balla, Sideshow, and Bren. This is the casting roster I dreamed of.

Are there 3 casters right now?
