rip bozos, aged like milk

there were threads during copenhagen where it got really racially charged with several EMEA fans claiming "genetic superiority" over every other region.

well, its VLR. NA and EMEA fans always find a way to go at eachothers throats, both sides have numerous bozos who do it. Baiters also fuel it hella.

gg, stop hating and just enjoy good valo

I dunno man, its very possible. They didnt even remove fans that were getting out of hand last time.

the reason they're in EU region is for timezones for the sake of broadcasting to every region around the world, its already very late in APAC and EA regions when theres a stream. It would basically be like 3am over there if not later if there was a LAN event in NA and it ran the same times as they do in EU.

regardless of who wins, definitely the best map of champions, maybe even all year or all time.

Anyone who gets toxic after the win is a bum.

Title.

But its definitely up there

facts, both teams and their stars are going insane

anyone got a clip?

DRX coming out strong so far, hopium for keeping it up

yet another dogshit matrix bait post.

get out the basement ya schizoid

FPX 2-0 KRU, would love to see the KRU upset but it isn't realistic, sorry LATAM, would take a major choke from FPX to bomb out here.
100T 2-1 FNC, 100T look red hot whereas FNC have looked extremely shaky, worse than M2 form. Sean "Seangares" Gares diff. EMEA killer narrative hold strong

100T have looked strong and FNC barely got by Furia despite their rlly good looking breeze. so it should be easy for the EMEA killers

Was legendary to see, miss that team

Prx as an org is out
Players i think the core minus the 2 duelists will stick together
Jingg has NS
F0rsaken wants to play in NA

Fr seeing how the rosters are gonna shake up is gonna be super interesting to see how it plays out. You could imagine that probably every team outside of maybe optic, drx, fpx, fnc, prx, loud are all gonna make big changes

i'm sorry sir, but its time for you to leave.

the American continents as a whole could have 5-6 teams in playoffs. We're already halfway there. Hopium for LOUD KRU and 100T

I feel like that broke EVERYONES pickems

fr i agree. He still did well on Breeze too

I said MAYBE you braindead bozo.

Point still stands that depending on how you look at it. That would be the only one that could be considered close to fluking

keznit would suck them all off LMFAO

AYO?

FPX is tilted.

Not a fluke, no major win was a fluke except for MAYBE Acend, Gambit were a better team on paper, plus 7-0.

FPX are so tilted bro I feel bad for them

sounds like a team thats gonna make ascension 2023

you're not too far off there, its not gonna add anything special unless you're starting to do it in plat-diamond+ but it also does depend on the team. While yeah alot of lower elo ones don't really know a whole lot anyhow but I've atleast seen a few that know what they're doing atleast. Just comes down to whether its people that can actually follow up on said calling.

But alot of my opinion also stems from me being an IGL myself.

both of these regions do it and its every time. Just fuels the other side to clap back everytime it happens. Even if their region isnt playing they'll start shit when the other loses for the sake of it, depends on how or when you look at it. Because both NA and EMEA fans get rlly toxic towards eachother

exactly, so I think its too early to just say "oh its NA's map" even though yeah so far all 3 NA teams have won on it.

Honestly, who cares about what region you're from, you can be a fan of whatever team you want. Regional supremacy arguments are stupid and everyones guilty of it.

VLR is a cesspool full of baiters that like to stir this up on the regular, youre better off just ignoring it and not caring.

I mean PRX and EDG both looked good on Pearl as well. I'm sure some EMEA and APAC teams do have plans for pearl, like i'd be shocked if DRX didn't have something cooked up.

XSET clearly had more prep for pearl than FPX did. While FPX is also one of the best fracture teams in the world whereas XSETs isnt that good to begin wtih. Its just as simple as both teams being good on the maps theyre good at

common trembo L

you'd be surprised at how much having someone that can make calls in game ranked whether its 5 stacks or not can make an impact. Even if IGLing low elo ranked isnt gonna be as in depth as what you'd see higher up.

actually cracked out

agreed, very well could've won that match

came in with zero expectations, almost beat DRX on ascent, wouldve barring the comeback.

They SHOULDVE won against FNC lets be honest theyre in shambles. Respect to them for outdoing their expectations kind of (still were gonna bomb out)

100T farms

mistic in champs actually good
mistic every other lan and online tourney, consistent bottom 10 player

Americas as a whole aboutta have like 4-5/8 teams in playoffs
Leviatan Optic Loud KRU/XSET 100T??

We all on the up fr. Hoping for LEV to make top 4 they're definitely capable of doing so.

BOOM also had zero expectations for their group, new team to international LAN. Not a super strong team as it is, they atleast took a map off optic so I feel like their players are atleast satisfied with that.

Xerxia always have disappointed, were gonna get grouped even if it was an easy group, if they didnt throw their comps and style against XSET they would've 2-0'd

EDG could've won i feel like if they were playing with Smoggy, but Liquids anti-stratting and experience shown out. EDG was trying to just run down and out aim a really stronger aimer team like Liquid and it just didn't work. Not to mention first ever LAN for this team, they atleast put China on the map and I feel like with more experience they'll get better.

Liquid are a top 8 team if they're hitting their shots and actually play as a team. Do they disappoint at times, yeah. Can't really favor them to get out of their group with PRX still in the fold.

Fnatic known to choke on LAN but they should roll Furia, if they don't then its a yikers for them.

would be wild if they did because that just furthers the fact that SA has come to play at champs. KRU last year magic for all of em.
Loud are likely to make playoffs > Zeta
KRU > XSET (lets be real FPX are gonna win against them)
Furia is the worst team in their group but the same could've potentially been said about Leviatan. FNC are known to choke when it matters on LAN, its definitely unlikely but I wouldnt call it impossible

Its moreso the fact that 100T beat FNC who are arguably a better team and DRX struggled at first against Furia who are the worst team at the event. Plus fanbases tbh. Odds are DRX win 2-1

I dont see alot of NA hating on APAC outside of the same regional arguing baiters. Same with EMEA.

How could anyone hate on Apac bro?

their lan matches are so bad but yet so entertaining at the same time.

Clown fest here just like LEV v XSET last masters

astra as well

hopefully the roster stays together and gets signed, they should be one of the best in the new tier 2 structured leagues next year, if not having some of them outright signed into the American league.

L franchising moment

gg, loud still make playoffs

loud still make it out of this group
