My brother, have you ever seen a single EMEA team play well on Pearl ?
Navi came close to it vs EDG, but even then that game was just aim vs aim, strat wise that shit was dog.
Now that was EMEA's best pearl team... Can you imagine the practice that FNC have been getting on pearl ? It's abysmal.
The region just hates the map and are terrible at it, no exceptions tbh

where have you seen this narrative?
For the past few months, all i've seen is how americas is the best region in the world and emea is farmers league. And I mean yeah look NRG and EG both made it out of groups while NAVI and FUT got embarrassed. so yeah maybe those talks were warranted.

Most users have been saying americas quality is much better though, maybe u're focusing on the EU trolls that keep harrassing people that don't think like them.
The narrative was that FNC is the best team in the world blah blah, not that emea is insane

U are sniffing that good shit, I respect it though

Okay fnc fracture is actually really good. Their ascent is decent, and their haven has so many vods of it, even TL learned that shit by heart since they don't chance shit. Surely FNS/Chet got that shit on lock.

NRG's ascent is decent too imo.

It's free af for nrg til finals lmao, they just need to win ONE game vs FNC.
They have a huge advantage where Fnc CANNOT ban NRG's bind (because they have to ban pearl), and fnc has been losing bind to emea teams that arent even that good, or struggling hard on it. so that's one map for NRG.
Just ban LOTUS, and then they get to play Haven and split against FNC probably lmfao. FNC split is bad.

Trust me, it's free for NRG, FNC is hard nerfed by not having a map that every single team has to ban first.

PRX would destroy DRX with something, but they don't have him : / so i dont think theyre winning anything
well see though !

KANG KANG THE GOAT IS RIDING ON AN INSANE HIGH RN
the high gonna fall off by next week but for now it's still hitting

NRG vs LOUD finals incoming... you have it good, at elast ur region didnt get embarrassed in groups

wtf our pickems are almost exactly the same, only 1 match is different

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/b464b6cd
I fucked up in groups, i wont be doing it again.

Edg has 80% chance of beating TL, 0% of beating LOUD.
They improved a lot, they should be proud of making it as far as that.

Its free for the winner of fnc/nrg.
I think nrg will win but yeah, in any case winner of that game goes to finals

crying is therapeutic. Try it.

No, next year we just need the teams to pick up the insane players in VRL's and offload the bad players.
THEN, the whole region gets better because the top teams get much better practice.

get 5 slots just so we get grouped ? Fuck that, it's so embarrassing dude i hate it.

Blame the orgs letting dogshit players into the league instead of picking up much better ERL talents.
w00t, sociaBLE, Lauress, vookashu and many others, just watching the VCT emea league shaking their heads. meanwhile we get fucking XMS, newzera, the entire Heretics team, some BBL players.

It's so tiring man.

With all the jinxing these "eu" fans are doing, it's bound to happen.
FNC about to win 0 games at the event, simply to spite these mfs that talk way too much and give the rest of us a bad name

if they deserve it, then they'll win the event.
How can you say that a team deserves to win an event after only playing groups ? By what metrics ?

I fully believe finals will be NRG vs LOUD but aint nobody deserving to win unless they actually win it wtf

I think if NAVI fix their comps and coach and angel get a fat reality check (which they did get tbh), them going to champs wouldnt be bad.

However, we all know the grand finals will be loud vs NRG so

Even if they had studied it. This was to be expected.
DRX's haven is great, and FUT just got embarrassed on it by ASE, of all teams, they werent winning this map.
They shouldnt have lost that anti eco on fracture, it really killed their chances.

Farewell FUT. Guess only TL and FNC in the playoffs : /

Thats not how chinese viewer sites show views. You as a spectator actually cant know that.

They give a score for how popular the stream is, the views are much lower than that.

For example lol worlds gets billions on score, but the views are like 60 million.
And yes you heard it right, 60 million + chinese people were watching lol worlds last year.

I woke up like 20 mins ago. Turned on stream on my phone. Instantly, fut started losing.

Im really fucking cursed

If they win this map they got this in the bag.
However if they keep playin like this, they gonna get smacked in playoffs 😭

If they win this map, they win 2-1.
Fut is not that great at haven, you saw it yesterday. And drx are haven maniacs.
They just have have to win this one.

I got a warning from the r/valcomp sub for saying retarded

Freedom does taste nice

One of them definitely deserves to get bullied for bullying others and also being completely delusional.

racism ?
U're fucking delusional

They only look this good because NAVI are overpeeking everything, not clearing properly and being overly aggro in moments they shouldnt.
If they were more disciplined, theyd win vs them. but they're playing very badly

It's not an excuse. the topic wasnt "oh no why is cned playing raze instead of jett"
the topic was why is zyppan not on raze instead of cned

If u cant see why ur message has nothing to do with what i'm saying or what op is talking about, there is nothing i can do for you. (If u even think about suggesting they play double duelist on bind, i might just end it)

sorry i shouldve mentioned sage, however they cant just force sage into the comp everytime.

It's just easier to put cned on raze just it's not THAT bad, it's serviceable. Angel considers it a better alternative to cned skye or sage.
idk man, this is just depressing to watch, i love navi but this aint it. Makes me sad.

Actually can't wait for emea first seeds to play, i'm honestly ready to feel some joy from watching a game tbh :cry:

for the 1000000000th time, angel has already answered this qquestion, cned's agent pool is not good enough, if zyppan is on raze, then cned would be playing skye and would be terrible at it, way worse than cned raze/zyppan skye.

you fnc fans really need a fat karma check i swear

Because he knows they shouldnt have won pearl and he knows theyll win bind for a 2-0

stop jinxing

Even if navi have been playing badly, shao and suygetsu are still top of the top tiers in the world
for this event, suygetsu especially, this mans is a one man army.

Sucks that cned's agent pool is so shit so angel can't find solutions and the whole team is suffering from it. suygetsu and shao >>>>>>>>>>

Probably not, I think NAVI still win this but that's not an achievement
The gameplay is terrible so far

Yeah dont worry guys they are trolling !
They have been trolling for 12 weeks now and if you dont believe that while claiming u're a fan, then you must be a fake flagging troll.

They might still win this shit anyway but it's painful to watch them play.

Yeppp
They're currently backstage watching praying on NAVI's downfall TT

wasnt trying to have a comeback, just annoyed of certain users perma spamming fake flagger everytime i dont praise emea

It's fucking annoying.
Rather be french than many other things, clown if you want, j'men blc

https://streamable.com/jdl174

I'm french you dumbfuck

Not being delusional about EMEA = I'm fake flagging for sure

????

You saw what happened when ardiis went on KJ, that shit is ass.
You know exactly how aggressive cned is, he's even more aggressive than ardiis. And he would also need to learn so many lineups in 1 week.

It's not doable lol. You guys act like angel is some dumbass who doesnt know what his players can and can't play at a proficient level

I appreciate that you were polite though and are capable of having a normal discussion unlike other less eloquent people lol. Have a good one, bro

You want NAVI to force themselves to play jett and raze on lotus, and sacrifice either an info initiaor, a flash initiator, a viper or a kj and i'm the idiot ?

Never ever reply to me again, I dont speak to retards

FUT SAVING EMEA PRIDE
Now i dont have to worry about emea ending the event with 0 wins ayyy

They can't have zyppan on raze because Cned can't play whatever the fuck zyppan was playing instead of raze, probably fade/kayo breach
Angel already answered this question " zyppan isnt on raze for the same reason you (ardiis) are on sage".

It's because cned is a jett one trick who plays raze or sage sometimes. If you give raze to zyppan, cned would only be able to play sage, i dont see the use of sage on lotus.

Angel isnt stupid guys

I KNOW
what i meant and expressed badly is that I wish Giants had played better in playoffs because their players have higher ceiling and i know nukkye and cloud could hang here.

This is so embarrassing… man wtfffff fut were smurfing on the region, how bad are the other teams then ?

Man i wish giants had made it instead 😭

I'm 150% sure the winner of this event will be either NRG or LOUD.
Tbh i woulda been excited for PRX but they don't have something : (((

? idk about TL
But Fnatic is MUCH weaker now that enemy teams don't have to ban Icebox against them. It is an immense nerf.
Their bind is godawful. And because Fnatic coaching staff is too trash to understand pearl properly and teach it to the players, they have to permaban that shit, so they leave bind open for NRG, which is their BEST map.

So that's a guaranteed map loss. FNC would already be starting on the backfoot, and NRG isn't a pushover on the other maps either + fnc change nothing.

Unironically, TL have a higher chance than FNC for real for real

I said it first
