Firepower will be crazy but apparently trexx lacks quite a lot on the comm department. We'll see

You're omitting the context. Berlin and havoc have been terrible, Tenz was amazing

Off season is off season

nah

No, talking about LOUD and LEV

No, both LEV and LOUD have boot camped multiple times in EMEA during off season and previous to non EMEA events

Jemkin needs to be consistent but dude is cracked

Absolutely not, our best team is worse than last year but we have KC TH NAVI FNC FUT VIT at a very high level. You'll see, 7 out of our 10 players in madrid were rookies, give them a couple months

All regions seem way deeper than last year

It's Americas teams who always bootcamp in EMEA

I've been very high on them since we saw the roster aswell, after kick off a bit less but, looking at how GenG is looking that was an outstanding performance

Based EMEA fan

They double lost to GenG 2-1 both times on extremely close games

But they played both of the maps where SEN is good at

Zellsis needs get a new skin

Lost every pistol round

GenG has been off on attack but look 100 times better than sen the previous half

This could have been a double 13-5 if they had played better clutches

They could but I doubt it, they look rock solid

Nah GenG is the better team, they can't clutch their way to win 2 maps

Just let him have it bro

I might be biased but all both masters Madrid TH games were bangers

Don’t look at vlr rankings

Calling tournament mickeymouse became popular when Americas fans lost Lock in tho

Dude I agree with you what I’m saying is what they need to do is consider the 2 MENA divisions different regions and give each a slot, not 1 to share.

Not much to do about the ping tho, fortunately the actual ascension is LAN

Yes and no, all regions get the same amount of slots, it’s not about how big or good they are. The problem is considering 20 countries just 1 region

Avez is playing at an amazing level rn and his teammates are really good. The average level of MENA teams this year is much higher

If Avez keeps it up and his team performs well he is very likely to get a shot at tier 1

Akai as a duelist is harder since so many new duelists just joined, let’s see if FLC finally figures it out outside of MENA

All regions get the same amount of slots in Ascension. Problem is considering Morocco and Saudi Arabia the same region

We've talked about the MENA leagues several times which I have been following for a while. I do agree that scouts should really go deeper into the MENA scene because I've seen some real talent. Specially after how well rookies are performing this year

Although what MENA really needs is to build an actual superteam and perform well in Ascension in order for other people to start judging them accordingly

Tbf their most successful ever campaign was without Frod as head coach either

Well from Spain and Portugal you can get to France by boat just like you do to Italy. But you're probably right, big part of Italy used to be part of former Spanish Kingdom Aragon, even tho Aragon spoke Catalan which is also pretty similar

yes but no, all latin languages are close yes, but not equally close. I can't understand shit of French for example

I mean it is similar but def not the same language

I have never studied Portuguese in my life yet I can probably understand about 60%, specially if written. That being said it also happens with Italian.

Because he keeps fucking EMEA every single fucking time

There’s no masters 3. Fun fact GMB will most likely be the only ever Masters 3 champions

It hurts but it’s 100% Less

When have Europeans not claimed Russians, where tf does that narrative come from

Alright I see the edit and I see your straight up baiting

But even without GMB there’s still 3 EMEA teams there who was supposed to be better region then?

That is factually wrong, for example

Look at this bracket with 4/8 teams from EMEA, tf does KRU run have to do with EMEA being better

Agree, I don’t see a team this year that being straight trash like last year. And the amount of teams I genuinely think could be great is insanely big

No, tomaszy is a couple days younger

what a throw lol

I’m not from NA don’t worry, you can rest assured

Wouldn’t it be a great plot twist if I was from NA

Also this is like average lunch time pretty much

I don’t live in Spain actually

I mean it is Monday at 4pm

I think the crowd has been great for the hype matches, it will be back up for KC game

Not exactly. 2 factors into play here. He wasn’t old enough to start the season, do you think teams like TL were willing to sign someone who wasn’t gonna be able to play from the start? He wasn’t the main option for many teams because of that reason

And also I believe he wanted to play with Riens who he is close with, so they kinda came in as a package. If it wasn’t because of his age he wouldn’t be on TH.

Not saying TH doesn’t pay shit but definitely not top salary of the league by any means

People won’t realize how good he is until they actually see it

They did not pay for him as far as I know. He’s just the better player
