I consult the council if that is allowed. Give me 2 hours.

Yeaah they looked lost a lot of times. But OPTIC also woke up though. I thought this series would be closer

Just because you don't understand what is happening it does not mean they aren't using strats.

Some of ZETA players are insane, but other can't keep up. But I do think they'll do a good game against NIP, even though I think NIP will win.

You guys always forget SEA, amazing. I don't even think Brazil is a contender here, you should look out for XERXIA and PRX first bro

I mean there is lowers though, this is just the first round of playoffs. I also believe they'll somewhat make into Lower Finals or Grand Finals even if they lose the first match.

XERXIA/OPTIC 2 x 0 GUARD

Why? The Guard will have a slow start. XERXIA and OPTIC are both incredible teams, both can win against GUARD here, but I'm certain that even if they lose they can come back in lowers though.

Honestly I don't know who wins here. DRX is f* strong but PRX are hyped as well. But due to different styles of gameplay (DRX being more disciplined and controlling the map perfectly) the same case of DRX vs NIP will apply here, but PRX being much more responsive.

So 2 x 1 DRX, with 2 close maps and 1 stomp.

G2 x 1 NIP/ZETA

Though I think they would 2x0 any of these, I think they lose one map due to slow start and NIP/ZETA coming in hot from groups.

LOUD 2 x 1 Team Liquid

Banger match it doesn't matter who takes it

G2 2 x 1 ZETA NIP
TL 1 x 2 LOUD
PRX 0 x 2 DRX
GUARD 0 x 2 OPTIC/XERXIA

Mine:

G2 2 x 1 ZETA/NIP (because they'll be still slow in their first match)
TL 1 x 2 LOUD
DRX 2 x 1 PRX
TGRD 0 x 2 OPTIC/XERXIA (slow start but they'll probably recover in lowers)

LOUD vs TL let's goooo

Banger

Pra esses cara a gente não pode nem falar que a LOUD vai pegar uma semifinal, um top 4 que eles já acham que tamo com salto alto. Na cabeça deles a gente tem que vir e falar que o time é uma merda e não vai ganhar nada.

Vou nem falar o que é isso daí

No they don't, most brazilian fans are expecting top4 at max. Stop with this freaking narrative that the "BR fans thinks their teams are the best" when in reality most of us think that it's not the case.

NIP 2 x 1 ZETA

han

I believe he has to make a quarentine of 5 days upon arriving to Iceland, probably something the government obligates.

It's you

People are freaking losing their minds wtf

DRX 13 x 7 NIP
DRX 10 x 13 NIP
DRX 13 x 11 NIP

Nothing against them bro, I know some of my country fellas hate them because of the drama last year, but I don't hate them. Those things had nothing to do with them.

But in Champions Finals last year I was rooting for Gambit cause the players are very wholesome and I like them more

The order of support (on my case) goes like this:
1 - Brazilian team;
2 - LATAM team;
3 - Team that I personally like (usually teams like Team Liquid or Fnatic are teams that I enjoy because of the org);
4 - No one.

Ooh I see

Yeah Google Translate is weird sometimes. It tries to translate everything literally in some cases and in other it just change the entire meaning of words

Which part of the phrase it got you confused? I missed it

I'll translate for you in English for a better understanding:

"No, but there is a world. To my understanding, they can be top3 or even get to finals with their current potential, but we have yet to see how they'll play against really strong and hyped up teams like G2, PRX, TL and GUARD."

É o que eles estão querendo também, estão bem fortes agora mas o potencial deles só tende a melhorar com o passar do tempo.

To my understanding the Keznit situation is just a lot of brazilians malding cause he has done shit before in the past, but they are forcing things that didn't exist here. Remember all the drama last year caused by misinterpretations from portuguese to english? This is the same case. And even worse, Keznit and Aspas are friends, so people are malding for literally nothing, since Aspas was not offended at all by that.

Fluyr case is different. Although I DON'T think he should be cancelled by that, I DO think he needs to apologize for the bad timed and placed joke. He is a public figure, he NEEDS to behave like so. This means that he should not be doing such jokes to people he doesn't know, SPECIALLY on another server.

Edit: Also, it's so cringe how people in Twitter try to create some narratives just to farm up some likes. Like wtf it's 2022 grow the f* up

Não, mas existe um mundo. Ao meu ver, eles conseguem top3 ou até chegar à final com o potencial atual deles, mas ainda temos de ver como vão jogar contra times realmente fortes e hypados como a G2, PRX, TL e GUARD.

Reaver

Will Optic wake up here though? They seemed so lost against Xerxia, didn't even put up a fight.

If they do, it's 2x1 for them, if not it's 2x0 KRU.

Sad for Japan's best team, but I think FNC wins here 2x0
Hope I'm wrong though

Ballsax28

OT, soulcas and nivera have ult

Hate those lines. Just call everyone by "regions" bro

It's too much money invested into the rounds and they keep forcing it. Is Wardell their coach? Bruh

He seems the type of player that chooses to play these guns and buy for this teammates

SEA

I believe it's the normal stuff from Brazilian teams: Icebox, Breeze and Ascent are the strongest maps. Fracture, Split and Bind must be their weakest ones.

My heart wants a NIP win, but I think DRX is just the perfect counter to how NIP plays. Hopefully they prove me wrong, but I think it's a DRX 2 x 1 NIP here.

Honestly? DRX playstyle counters a lot of what NIP does (similar to what LOUD does), so I expect a DRX win here.
But it's LAN yk? We'll never know. Maybe they'll figure out how to counter DRX's playstyle.

I mean, no offense, but Liquid is good as well. They might have been inconsistent through Challengers (therefore not qualifying) but they are still a great team that did awesome the end of last year. Also, this is TL's map pick, let's wait to see how Icebox will be played and if XERXIA wins the decider.

I agree that with Derke the game would be different but most brazilians are happy for this cause people were really underestimating NIP saying they would get stomped by Fnatic even with 2 subs. So just get over it

Well it's funny if you see it from now, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people had similar opinions back then. It was hard to predict which meta was going to be the best

In cases where people are not asymptomatic, the symptons are mild when the person is vaccinated correctly. Just pay attention to the death ratios by covid before the vaccine and after, and also the percentages of the population that vaccinated with 2 or 3 doses. Not only that, the amount of people that gets hospitalized by covid also is drastically reduced.

So no my friend, science has not been denied and you can still believe the vaccines.

Regional qualifiers need to start being on LAN so we won't have these things anymore

Well, XERXIA definetely looks stronger than Liquid, so I'll predict a 2x1 XERXIA here.

Even if they lose I think they can qualify through lowers.

?

But he is a pro, he played for a team in Brazil before being called by VKS to coach them on Champions last year. If it wasn't for Onur being a L person, bzkA would be playing VCT in this exact moment as a player

Just because you do well on scrims it doesn't mean you're going to play well on officials. There's the mental characteristics that enter the game.
