maybe, but it would still be close

just like xset vs any t2 NA team is close

you are overrating the NA scene and underrating the jp scene

same way people thought there was no way x10 beats nv

Id bet BIG money Zeta could beat Xset in a bo3 rn.

Here's what I dont understand. I understand cutting k1ng if you want Rb to go dedicated Jett, Buzz swap to sentinel because he can't play initiator.

That leaves me wondering. Why the fuck aren't they keeping Lakia and make him dedicated sova? Dude has good comms, plays unselfish, good utility, and most importantly can frag with the best.

Having lan inexperienced zest as their sova and igl (?) is freaking me out. But luckily zest personality is very confident I just hope he doesnt lose it for masters. Also not sure if zest is completely dedicated igl as during the in game comms sometimes I heard Rb give midround callouts. Could be a freeflow thing but I could be wrong.

Too many shit could go sour this masters. Rb could start magically choking as he has a tendency to go invisible in important games when the whole team is getting bamboozled. Zest could just not be fit for international play and drag the team down. Mako could just not be as good of an omen/brimstone as he is on astra/viper. Buzz and stax 인정, they are consistent performers in tournaments.

Classic example of what I'm talking about is WGS almost upsetting DRX. When you're down that deep against a strong team like the Guard you won't be given a full comeback.

yeah but I watched a lot of comms video and he doesnt seem to be dedicated igl

Easily one of the EMEA teams, either G2 or FPX.

Guard I think are in for a early exit, everytime they faced a top team like C9, Xset, Optic, they had to adapt after losing in order to beat them. I think at masters ALL the caliber of teams are around that level and you don't get second chances.

Optic I think are just a solid team but I could say the same for both APAC teams and DRX. I give them the same chances as DRX to win aka not high at all.

Fnatic are good, if Derke is on fire this team will be a scary opponent to face.

Loud are too unknown for me to judge. I'll give them solid chances and assume they're about as strong as the APAC teams.

Zeta are about Xset level. A team that's good to be good domestically but can't beat other top dog teams.

top 4 is semi finals

I think they improved during the VCT. Rb now feels more comfortable on Jett and is showing why he was called the best player in Korea back in 2021. However I do not like losing K1ng and Lakia for Zest. Firepower wise thats a clear downgrade.

However what's scary is that their competition improved as well. Particularly the EMEA teams. But I do believe they will go far since one of the FPX players thought DRX were gonna win masters after scrimming them, and as we all know FPX won the EMEA VCT.

One thing that gives me hope is that there were no new maps like Fracture where DRX just pulls up and realize that their entire region was playing it wrong. I'm worried how Mako will adapt to new controllers.

Worst case group stage exit. Best case 2nd place. It's up for grabs.

LOL, so instead of giving results you gave "what could of happened"

yeah youre not going far in life with that brain of yours

bro you gotta read the comment I replied to

ik youre salty your region is shit but holy

stop coping with previous results? so where tf are the results that say KR is a one team region LOL

LCQ 3 korean teams beat boom have you forgot about that?

man forgot PRX got 2-0d by Damwon LOL

it means you speak TRUTH

holy fk you are based

SA will never send a team to masters or champions EVER in your lifetime.

Here cope with this fact.

MAN FOH BUNNY EXPOSED F4Q WAS CLAPPPING ALL THE CHINESE TEAMS HAHAHAHA

you are wrong

def not Loud LMFAOOOOO

maybe they can make it out of groups for the first time LMAO

saying groups dont matter is copium

hard disagreed

they can 100% get cucked tho, if you check the possible groups they need to pray to get Zeta and Optic and those two arent lightweight

eh I called zeta doing super well before season started but I dont think they will make it out of groups

super competitive groups because how stupid riot decided to seed, like PRX Guard, LATAM/BR shouldnt be getting a bye but here we are

maybe if they get a favorable group

I think loud is talented

Im personally supporting Guard, DRX, Zeta

whoever makes it out of group will poop on the seeded teams

are you fucking bronze?

:)

Korean Jett.

Sayaplayer.

bro crashies is so overrated

Its disgusting that this gold player is gonna be in my elo and all of sudden drop 8-20 scorelines instalocking jett

someone who got no money

gl zeta on rematch

ONS 3-2

Im believing in overwatch power lately

yeah PRX is weird, they legit the same roster that lost to SMB

that sounds like a copium excuse to me

I just dont see the guard beating c9 in a bo3

Trust me I dont have a dog in this fight, but if Optic rematches Xerxia I dont think they are winning

not at all, I just don't think NA improved past champions

I'm convinced now.

C9 and NV still the best NA teams scene hasn't change much since champions.

Expect early airport again.

man first time I see the guard players choke

pressure for iceland is real

sugarzero tho...

GUARD TTIME

I still believe munchkin is a top 5 player in korea

dude was better than xeta on c9

vs almost lost to c9 cause of this dude

prob best player in japan

zeta fans in shambles

Nah, theres a reason meteor was on TNL while seolhwa was unemployed

Ranked doesnt mean everything
