I know, what an upset.

C9 too good... for now

wait, you are a mitch fan?!?!

Akrew is probs hella overrated. But its fun to hype up a team.

Yeah, honestly I'm just glad we finally get to see them against tier 1 competition.

You are always joking around, how can I tell when you are serious? its impossible.

I've come to expect more from a Netero bait. I'm disappointed.

You sound like you have bad breath.

Why wouldn't C9 be in this tournament?

Guard lookin minty

GOAT.

G2 seems to like switching around a teams roster like its some kinda cake recipe. If they lose again I could see them switching out meddo for mixwell.

Riot took a spot because Zombs flexed his money? LOL

Whatever, NA just has to win. I really hope its not a 10 team tourney that would suck.

Best list so far as I scroll down. Id say Deffo is better than tenz just because his Split is so much better and that seems to be an important map for Sen or I guess used to be.

On split.

They have good enough talent that once they get some tournaments under their belt 100t should be fine unless the team just doesn't work well together. I'm pretty confident in them.

Its recency bias really. Its really hard to judge and make a list of the top 3 NA teams. They haven't played each other in months so its not as clear as it used to be.

I believe T1 will hit their stride. That last performance was shaky as hell. I'm hoping they can work out the issues.

Yeah they are a tier 2 team. A tier 2 team is usually a signed team that competes in smaller tournaments and feed into tier 1 teams. This team is probably near the bottom of tier 2 and T1 should not have lost. But this is still a signed team that has been competing in such tournaments. So, in a one map match anything can happen.

It was a one map match. A brand new team against a pretty good tier 2 team? You could have smelled this upset from a mile away. Id give T1 to at least bust out of opens until I'm convinced they aren't what they were hyped up to be.

lol you called me an idiot for not having them in my top 10 three weeks ago.

Same post ^

I think Xset, V1, T1, TSM, and NRG are all better after the changes they made.

German football is top tier for sure. But US is very good if not the best in many different sports including swimming, climbing, boxing, snowboarding, basketball, hockey, ect...

What is Germany best at? Making cars? Starting Wars?

Didn't Acend do something similar last year in the masters 1 final? Id say no punishment but whatever.

Hitler was Austrian I'm pretty sure

Apparently the swim suit he wore in the 2008 Olympics was banned after that year. LOL

Swimming - USA

"I hate someone because they don't practice that much" - kristof

oh, why?

Id say all pistols are in a pretty good state rn.

Do we have rumors on what it will be?

Leo is so good.

Actually hate? Probably Zombs

T1, TSM, NRG and Akrew. Id really like to see Akrew or NRG do well.

It's probably just because of scheduling and this is how Riot organizations chose to set it up. There could be many reasons to why they set NA/KR/JP to be later on.

Im pretty sure the points do not translate between regions.

Yeah that ranking system seems to be broken lol

oh, right. My b

I was a little confused as well because doesn't G2 only have 2 players from their core team last year? wouldn't that mean that they void their VCT points from last year? If not then why wasn't Guild invited?

So hyped for this tourney!

No. Nothing has pointed to him moving back to CS at this point.

I assume they thought they had Nitro locked in. Which I think letting steel go was a fine decision if Nitro stayed. Then Nitro left and fucked a lot of things up for them.

Damn okay, that's actually a pretty sick team.

Okay I'll have to look into that.

Does faze even have a rumored roster?

C9
NV
Sen
Xset
100T
Rise
Gen.g
V1
T1
NRG
TSM
Akrew
KCP

Top 12 imo. V1 through Akrew is really hard for me to judge to be honest.
