Like I understand they competed in the group stage of EMEA, but they qualified through last years VCT season, the only thing they had set to achieve was qualify for playoffs and they didn't even do that. Technically speaking Acend have achieve literally nothing this season while other teams had to fight for their spot into the group stage. To me it seems that Acend don't deserve the circuit points.

Man Idk I really liked the ec1s and babyj signing, and tbh ec1s had the right idea and direction for the team but it seemed like hiko and ethan were resistant

ong man, especially with zombs consistently underperforming

Your books backwards bro

Yea and I know Asuna liked him too, but we all have to be honest that this was not a tier 1 team iteration

Vouch

I dont think that hes a bad addition, I think its just that their are other candidates they think are more fitting

-zombs
+jcstani

Dudes already irrelevant canceling him just gives him more incel attention

Youre right my bad

I understand that Liquid would probably be next in line to fill in the replacement for the region, but low-key I think the next best contender to take it would actually be cloud9
They're from a bigger region with a more developed identity and playstyle than the other regions and they are on their game unlike some teams...
I know this probably wouldn't happen but just my opinion on a theoretical.

I think that this is probably true, but with how chaotic and explosive SEA util usage is i think they could beat anyone having a bad day

Idk man they're one of the few teams going into Reykjavik undefeated. There may be a gap between them and the competition, but I think that it shows that they're definitely coming to compete. I am excited to see what they bring

lmao its photoshopped

Why did I think his pfp was Johnny Sins 😭😭😭😭

Bang is younger than asuna, but trent is younger

At least they have lan

This doubles as qual and elimination. 3 is def not enough

How? its a qualification match and should show who is the most versatile and resilient

But they didnt........
Its almost like everything I said could happen happened in champions.... Weird how it disproves your point

You can still like teams and still think they're gonna lose. ex. all 100T fans

Sure, but you have to acknowledge that there is still possibility in a BO5 for there to be a win even at 2-0 I just think that a match of higher importance should be BO5

I mean there can be a lot of momentum change that comes with a BO5 a lot more room for mistakes as well as more time to get warmed up or detilt. Its not facts its just your opinion. If Acend v Gambit of BO3 Gambit wouldve won champions so this statement is completely wrong

I mean the upper final isn't BO5

Eh I disagree with this

Liquid was my backup team. doesnt affect me much

Thats what im saying man

Lmao you right, I just figured since the qual match in the lower final NA is bo5 it only makes sense

Shouldn't Liquid vs. G2 have been a BO5 since it was the qualifying match???
Liquid prolly would've gotten 3-0'd but still.
I would've thought that since it held more weight it would've been BO5

Bro cryo and asuna had to have been one of the hardest duos in the world no cap

Pancakes, but they have to be fluffy. For waffles belgian but the best pancake is always better than the best waffle

Imagine 100T had they gotten him and zander

You did not just say phoenix 💀

People with grippers on their pencils

prolly

Ethan is good enough. With the help of sean hell turn out good trust

People exaggerate what the drama was
Im assuming if theyre picking up wardell hikos telling them to lock down the contract

oh ofc they wont be beat 💀

Lets hope Liquid CS choke with nitr0 so can have cap back

Long enough Acend to fall off. Lmao. Acend is THE choke team the only reason they won champions was because vivokeyd cheated. Talk about a mf miracle

https://twitch.tv/AsunaWEEB
to me this is like guaranteed wardell pickup and bang drop/sixth

Liquid will dominate this meta wdym. They fell off with Astra meta but astra gone. I think even if they lose theres still a good qual chance.

Lmao you mean how 100T beat Acend?

lmao

and they never will

They couldnt even make it out of playoffs. 💀

EMEA W

They used to. Asuna is still a top duelist (holds the wr on most kills in one map) Ethan still super solid. I will admit 100T is a bit of an extreme example since they lost two igl's, but teams like V1 struggled for the longest time with the same roster after losing Vanity and are now finally getting their footing back with Zander. It's gonna be a while, and Acend arent established anymore especially not to the likes of Fnatic or Gambit. I mean they lost to Guild

We'll see. I can see fnatic possible getting in their own heads after losing pretty consistently to them

It'll still take a little bit, dropping an IGL is a big deal and getting your footing can take a while.
Ex. 100T
