That flash while in ult could be OP

Why was it expected? Because historically they are one of the biggest and richest orgs. Like saying dont be upset because Real Madrid didnt qualify for CL.

The competition was fierce because TSM (and others) wasnt good bringing them to the same level, not the other way around. Look at XSET, they crushed the same competition

will there even be tourneys? Thought that was mean for the months after VCT ended

saving strats turned in to we don't want the world to know we have no strats

NA Group stage looking like the best 5 teams from last year + teams that were actively getting results in T2 tourneys since November (except maybe Rise). Surely no coincidence, you have to compete to get better. Did the knocked out "big teams" miss out by not continue competing after the LCQ ended?

V1: won a NSG
NRG: final knights, final NSG, SF Elite Showdown
Guard: won a NSG
Knights: won a NSG, final NSG, final Elite Showdown
EG: 2x QF NSG, SF rival, QF Elite Showdown

Possibly:
Akrew: won 4 NSG, won 1 Knights
LG: won a NSG
KCP: final NSG, final Elite Showdown, 2 NSG SF
Soniqs: couple SF/QF
BBG: two QF

EG were knocked out by bait academy Q1 and qualify for groups in Q2. Thats pogress

In like first strike or what

When was gmd ever igl. Koosta has been igl since forever, only a break when nature came but switched back when he started on jett

good team or stream team, at least pick one. You cant be neither

Ever since they switched coach they became stale. And now they are also missing their (gmd..) shots. No set ups, no combos, no lurks

Pain

Classic throw incoming

i leave stream and they win rounds, maybe i am the problem

He has only won matches against T3 teams in the last year. Unlucky really

He lurks on skye. Says enough

Kinda weird to have NA pros complain that their region doesn't practice enough, or good. Like aren't you the one who can change anything about that

Please no more pain

Yea it was a questionable pick up beforehand because his experience on jett, but he is doing fine. A real sova wouldve been great. Thats not a role you can just pick up from 0 in 4 weeks

In what world is jett/raze main duelist a one trick role. Its exactly what geng was lacking last year.
If there were any decent igls to pick up yea..

Rhyme has been playing fine. Not hard carry, but doing what you expect. Maybe his jett entrys could be better. Its nature (new, hard role) and gmd who have been consistently not hitting

He was decent last time on breeze. Its just gmd and nature who are performing like T3 players every match

Koosta

They look so boring since Mce left. No set ups, no combos, , way to aggresive when its not needed and now theyre also missing their shots

6 out 16 full buys won, gg. Focus on 2023

geng always ban ascent

Trust in Shawn and if gmd is awake, easy win

Has only won against T3 teams in a full year. Maybe a bit early to say they are proven wrong

maybe cause he only subbed 1 map in 9 months pro play

Even the Kardashians play. Games massive

Lmao what is this bracket. NSG trophy

Soniqs again. Pain…

Back on Raze

Shawn

gmd has woken up, we have a chance

Don't think a couple ranked games will make you much better. But it definitely shows if you like the game or not. Doubt he will stay long, all those ex-cs players who had to switch but don't love it are starting to fall off

It's always throwing leads or having to do insane comebacks. No in between

gmd with a rough 2 days

Thats still a lot of hours playing the game though, not like they prac 1h a day. Nothing wrong with not grinding ranked if youre a pro. Especially if youre IGL better to do different thing then run down mid with randos

All teams that don't play those tourneys are still in. Only T2 teams have been dropped, so kinda early to say. And Akrew played T2 teams, but its always good to see the competition being close

Tactical loss for better bracket. But looks like another season of throwing big leads or having to comeback from big leads

yea, in the franchise call of duty league

They bought a CDL team, so I assume the money for a 500K+ bid is there

They are the highest f/a team here, then what will they do for the main team

would probably be a top tier coach once he retires

As long as there is no IRL crowd it doesnt really matter tbf

They released 4 agents last year. And even if we get 40 agents, in 4 categories that would at least add some depth

Why not, that will add more creativity and team styles. Better then seeing Sova, Jett, Astra, Viper every map

Cheating and going almost double negative, how trash are you

Surely you pick BcJ, their star player

So big orgs want to hoard talent in their academy teams to sell for profit, but cry when a T2 team asks a buyout for their talent. Classic
