Dude played 1 good map and shouldve been 2-0d but xset tossed like 5 rounds and people acting like hes gods gift to mankind. Pump the brakes a little bit lmfao

On top of that wasn't Optic already qualified for champs before they even got to this masters? So that argument is irrelevant too. Your goal as a team should be to win every tournament that exists. That's what you get payed to do and winning more only increases your brand and popularity.

Franchising is personally the best option but I am not a fan of combining all of the Americas into one region. Confining NA/BR/LATAM to the same region seems very odd and will confine a lot of good players to T2 or not even playing depending on how the scene goes. Imo NA and LATAM/BR should be 2 separate regions.

LOUD doesn't deserve anything. They lost 2 games and bombed out. I understand the format is shit but if they were that good they shouldve won their games and moved on like Optic did.

The bottom end of the NA top 10 ( SEN/NRG/etc) would probably lose, but teams like Loud and KRU are totally dismantling their region and lose to Optic, who isn't completely unstoppable within NA. I think NA and EU are decently far ahead of other regions in terms of depth if their teams are playing at full strength and not going through a slump.

Loud should've beaten Optic then. Optic had to go through the same situation as Loud and they made it out.

You could literally say the same about every other region?? Without LOUD brazil is nothing. Without KRU Latam is nothing. DRX,PRX etc. The "NA" only has 1 team argument is weak and overused

XSET = Guard 2.0 lucky onliners. Optic best NA team by miles ggez

Idk what to say Marved is actually ridiculous. Best controller world for sure

It would be interesting to see how players move around within the franchise system. Pardon my ignorance, but I don't know how good of English some of the Brazilian players speak/understand so that may be a factor in if a Brazilian player gets on an NA team for example

GIGACHAD FUCK EVERYONE ELSE GIGACHAD

EU in every esport has had a weird massive hate boner for NA. NA wins something? Must be a fluke. EU wins something? Genetic superior region. A weird minority of people think NA can't be good at anything.

I hate split as a map design but you can't argue that the map has given us some absolute banger matches at international events.

L take. Pansy has been an amazing caster for years even in CSGO

KEKW

BR NADE KEKW

LETS FUCKING GO OPTIC WOOOOOOOOOO

Split is just a map most NA team can play at a respectable level but I can't think of any teams that were like super strong on the map.

Bro doing everything to reverse jinx LOUD I respect it lmfao

Riot for some reason has always had horrible formats. I feel like they try to be creative when there is no reason to do something different just for the sake of it. Just be normal and give us formats that have been proven to work and everything would be better

Isn't kanpeki Tenz friend? so they just added another friend to the content team and he was kinda shit every game. Zellsis is easy upgrade

Facts. Baseball used go be a good sport to turn on and watch at night sometimes but now its just absurdly boring. Id much rather watch golf or even soccer over baseball its that bad.

All the people 3 ranks above what they should be are shaking in their boots because they cant 1 trick a broken ass character if he gets nerfed. That character should have never existed in the first place but now he needs to be nerfed hella hard. Give us phoenix meta.

I just dont get how riot makes a character that can do a duelists job better than any of them while also having trips, slows, 2 op ass guns, and 5 tps a round. So boring to play against he gets 1 kill with ult and ur entire push just insta loses almost every time.

It is only non competitive because their teams got shit on. If EU had won it wouldve been the most competitive LAN in history. Just normal VLR behavior calling anything my region doesnt do shit.

Optic #4 has to be a visual bug? They won last masters and are looking very good going into the next. How could you possibly put both EU teams above them

that's why i said i wouldve preferred a simpler map? I would've preferred a map with a more simple mid and doesn't take forever to rotate. But that's just my opinion. I never said pearl had a gimmick ?

Some people just really want to discount anything from NA and other just want to hate on the best team saying they are only good because of one player. Even if they don't win Masters optic shows they are the most consistent team from NA by far and one of the best in the world

I prefer good solid maps that have no gimicks over shit ones for the sake of a weird mechanic. I would've prefered a "simpler" more traditional map but so far it isn't bad. I just want them to make a normal map with 2 sites and a normal mid almost like Mirage from CS thats just a fun map to play but thats just me.

All the teams that suddenly got a lot better. Teams that had an average jett player now just lock chamber and get massive value with no downside.

Hard agree. I had a string of like 7 games where my chamber dropped less than 10 kills every map while me and another initiator or smoker are dropping 25-30. Impossible to win those games no matter how good i am.

I dont think people hate xset. They are just boring af to watch so they just dont care

im no sen fan but you can't have them any lower than #2 or else ur just trolling. They were the best team in NA for a year and half

earbuds are fine i just dont like wireless ones for the computer. Especially if you were glasses like i do they are way more comfortable for long periods of time.

His run was good at the start of Val but unless he makes some massive changes to how he approaches the game SEN will never be top tier. If he wants to secure his future by making money streaming then stop playing pro and wasting an entire team that looks underprepared for every game they play.

nice try Sentinels ! Maybe if you stream a bit more you can win a game ! Jk yall are trash try again next year

I don't know the stats, but he has to have the worst clutch % in history. He's last alive in winnable situations all the time and I swear he NEVER wins it. If he could just win like 1 clutch every game for SEN would look so much different.

I thought he was supposed to be the next Simple, but he just looks like a super bot. He lost the file to his cheats or what?

The only people that think the op is op are the ones that dry swing everything. The op is weak in comparison to what it was before and definitely compared to cs. You have to stand in perfectly still and hold every angle. And almost every agent in the game has something to stop you

Or they could do what league does and have academy teams for each of the T1 teams in their own league. Frankly a lot of people just dont care about t2 play. 99% of the time its just inferior gameplay and not as interesting unfortunately

This is 2022 brotha the internet and vods exist

NRG had the most mickey mouse run to qualify. Their bracket was super easy and 0 teams they played qualified. Did they play well, yes. But they played t3 or t2 teams the whole time. Not hard to look good

Im an op crutch user not uncommon for me to have nothing. Plus too many people buy sheriff every save round only too whiff anyways so why not save 800 and just right click someone

The pistol one is just a straight up lie. There are more than 4 rounds you use a pistol. Unless you are forcing every round there are countless times you will have only a sheriff or a classic.

Age means next to nothing. If you are good at the game you are good at the game. I'm not sure why so many people put an emphasis on teams needing to pick up young "hungry" players. If there is a good player that fits a team they will do just as well.

huh? im agreeing. No one plays flex everyone just locks jett and chamber which none of the teams need.

It's also just not nearly as fun in ranked. The amount of times ill play sova or kayo and scan 4 people but my teammates still just die or do nothing. Way more fun to just get 30 kills a game and run around shooting. I might not top frag every game but my util got me to the rank im at and a lot of people don't like playing that way

There are so many jett chamber 2 tricks that look decent because their team revolves around them getting kills and their agents have get out of jail free cards. Like said before most teams need flex or controller players. Those are rare right now

Tenz and sick gotta try to 2v5 cuz they know shaz is just gonna whiff every shot and somehow miss his 14th ult of the match.

He cant aim. His sova ults are next level terrible. His shocks dont do anything. He cant land a drone tag to save his life. How the hell is this guy a pro ive seen better sova play in immortal 2. Cant wait to watch sen lose every match cuz their rat igl is trash
