I would take 12 over 10, easily. 12 is what most regions challengers already run on, plus there are easily 12 Tier 1 VCT caliber teams in many regions, or atleast can equal that in combining regions (KR,JP & LATAM,BR). Seems like insanity to have such few teams in a league that can 100% support it

first ever pro match of Pearl will happen in this, should be interesting

mosquitos are worse than hornets tbh

That or just doing 12 teams would infinitely be better for all 3 regional leagues

Raze/Neon as main jett/entry
Viper with either Astra/Omen double controller potentially
Fade or KAYO main initiators.
Chamber just based off meta, but KJ could get value out of setups easily.

I feel like this map won't have one set standard comp and we'll see quite a bit of variation based on teams.

i want prx v optic GF, would be a banger

and half of them are already on a known baiter list because theyre basement dwelling losers who spend 24h on this site.

thats impossible for regional supremacists I'm afraid.

Its always "my team/region better, yours is dogshit KEKW" instead of anyone actually realizing that its good international competition that is really entertaining.

Most of it is just baits tbh.

Its the typical dozen or so baiters trying to stir shit, and then toxic fans from various regions stirring the pot even more. Just another day of VLR at this point.

None of these idiots have a life so they sit here and circlejerk eachother.

Your bias is wild bro. A majority of baiters on this site are toxic EMEA fans, I admit that yeah NA has some toxic baiting garbage on this site as well, never said there wasn't.

But yeah come at me for calling out the fact that theres been cringe "european genetic superiority" has been going on here all fuckin masters and instead of acknowledging that shit exists you deflect and immediately make this about NA.

My predictions had 3/4 of these teams. (I had DRX beating FPX here) I would rank them based on their performances thus far at Copenhagen with it being

1. PRX
2. OPTIC
3. FPX
4. FNC

PRX have looked insane out of the gate thus far, its self explanatory, I have them beating Optic both here and in the GF.
Optic and FPX both had really rough groups, due to Optic slow start and FPX sub but have looked strong in playoffs despite FPX getting knocked to the lowers, and they look stronger than Fnatic has whos felt flat in playoffs, the complete opposite of PRX.

Are you blind or retarded?

Cause theres alot of the EMEA fans running their mouths about DRX being shit. 75% of the threads are exactly that.

As for PRX, I have them winning the whole thing so I literally don't care if they beat Optic or not. But nice try though.

this, honestly its just bait at this point because if its not then its narcissism

another day another cringe emea superiority thread.
Still gonna not take a trophy home.

every region has a bunch of toxic fans and baiters.
EMEA NA AND BR have far more than anyone else, thats a well known fact. But everyone just wants to either A. play victim or B. continue the cycle of toxicity.

its pathetic

good PR, agreeable rankings

Not really a hot take. FNC last 2 games have looked shaky, granted alot of that also has to do with LEV and PRX being insanely good teams.

I also agree that the winner here if its a strong enough win could easily 2-1 or even sweep FNC depending on map pools

Honestly glad to see it.

Really sucks that LEV didnt win though, wanted them to outdo KRUs champions run, that match was insane regardless. Cant wait to see them back at champs

Factual

Toxicity isnt the answer bro, be bigger.

Emea talked shit and got hit, theyre already down bad.

Hes already an immortal ranked and consistently has been.

Sentinels wont even win a match in LCQ, let alone make champs.

As much as I'm a fan of Shroud and Zellsis, wont make that much of a diff for them. They'd easily be one of the worst teams at champs and it wouldnt help NA if we're gonna make a serious run for champs this year.

Would rather send FaZe, EG, or literally anyone else in LCQ

Kinda in the same boat since thats what my pickems has happening
PRX wins UBF
OPTC with LBF
PRX wins GF

G502

Theres baiters from every region, theres a thread listing all of them too. Not that hard to find.

The only NA flag baiter that comes immediately to mind is babysasuke

There literally was a thread during the group stages. Maybe even 2-5+ more that claimed europeans had superior genetics so thats why theyre superior in gaming.

Not that hard to find, but again europeans have talked the most shit this masters. Youre either blinded by bias or just havent seen it. Almost as if your guys dogshit baiters spam threads on the daily

Hopium they win today against FPX

They beat FPX as well, and will do it again in the lowers

I'd say they're still pretty close, both the OPTC DRX controllers and initiators are top 3 ITW easily.

DRX 2-0 FPX

Finna shut Ange1 up

Lower Bracket run incoming, it was a really close match ggwp

Amazing Match, can't wait to see DRX make a LB run, hoping they make top 3-4. GGWP to both teams.

I have PRX v Optic as grand finals but would not be opposed to it being any combo of those 2 FNC or DRX as the finals.

I personally want PRX or DRX to win the whole thing

What the actual fuck was that 4th kill.

riv still casts
DDK is now GM of 100T so he can't be a caster anymore.
this is a reply to #3, vlr is just stupid about posting too much

the 3 finals matches will have crowds, they didnt do the whole event cus covid n what not

gone, reduced to atoms

This is going to be a certified Banger.
Fracture, Breeze, Bind
2-1 either way

Should be a banger regardless of outcome hoping DRX is on their A game so it gets to be a super close match

Should be a banger, hoping Optic win here but I would not be opposed to DRX taking it. I have Optic PRX grand final so.

its cus they only ever support APAC when SA is playing. Then they come in full force. Every other time theyre supporting whoever else. Do you not remember how many GE threads there were going into APAC playoffs?

common dexter W

my pickems have the top 4 being

1. PRX
2. Optic
3. Fnatic
4. DRX

Any of these 4 can take it in my opinion, like my pickems could be wrong but this feels like the script so far.

PACKWATCH RIP BOZO

Loud v Optic was good
XSET v Lev was a clusterfuck but entertaining
KRU v Loud imo was also a really good opener match

But this definitely tops all of them

LEV 2-1 FNC

Best match of the tournament despite it being a 2-0 ggwp to both teams. PRX wins it all, gg go next.

PRX being PRX, about to 2-0

azzlacks tracker says he's from EU, ascendant ranked. So don't let him fool you

not braindead, actually calculated big brain from forsaken and PRX.

Styling i love you but this is a dumbass post
