They should consider 2 big splits ending with 12 team master events + Lcq again to decide the last 4 teams for Champs imo.

Fair but they were just better than every other team in the world and at least top 4 for champs.
EDG was nowhere near top 4 until Champions

The EDG of last year was definitely not a top 8 team during kickoff and probably also not a top 12 team during split 1.

Basically my pickems

I still stick with my opinion that they would miss a lot of international events if they played in a different region

Has bro added some weight

I don't blame him

Going to sleep hopefully we win map 3 tho GL

Get well asap Leo 🫡

He's ill chill bro

One of the only teams thats always been present and wont be any different this year

He will be one of the best duelists at champs

He's gonna make big steps throughout the year

Need to go to bed soon

Based on Loud beating two teams that absolutely shat the bed?

Leo was taking over the comms and solo won us EMEA in stage 1 of last year

I'm pretty confident that in a world where Leo gets to play at the end of this year and he actually reaches his level again (which is also very uncertain) we could challenge for Champions depending on how good Kaajak can get at playing under pressure.

Sure but we could still be a top 4 team in the world for sure with Leo back and Kaajak reaching his full potential

Sad that M3C didn't make champs or else we would've gotten Chronicle duelist internationally

He was still great on duelist in EMEA

My goat saving my teams ass

Hope to see Leo back this year and we should be back to challenging for titles

Doug and Babybay duo exists

Not like they lost to bad teams

Vitality and GX are legit

It wasn't just 1 game but if he does actually start playing up to his potential he's gonna be one of the best in the world.

Lmao how did that not get muted

I never doubted them 😉

Shut your asses up real quick

This could genuinely be the solution

Miniboo is very good on Kayo and Boo can just play his Astra

EMEA about to send 2 very new teams filled with rookies to the first masters tournament? (GM x BBL)

Easy
These guys are all shooters

Too early but it's looking good bruv

All of them shooters

They're all ill

I feel for ya

I feel sick to my stomach watching these throws

Yetujey is the goat tho

Miniboo hasn't been the same since Madrid

He was so much better before all of the pressure

Let's see if the other Chinese teams can capitalize and not choke for once (I'm looking at FPX specifically) and make EDG miss out on an international tournament for once after not playing to the best of their abbilities.

They were looking to get Saadhak and N4rrate if they couldn't get Ethan and Demon1 which would've been significantly better in hindsight
Saadhak goated IGL and N4rrate insane flex player

Nah lets be real for a moment

His name is never mentioned when talking about the best initiators in the world or even Americas and even NA. People rate Eeiu and Trent higher for example when they haven't even done half of what Com has.

He's gonna win Ascension this year but still not be old enough to play 🥹

Fnatic Sayonara in 2026 sounds good to me (would still miss a 3rd of the year)

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/5fa698b2

That was like Prime Gambit v Crazy raccoon

People really thought that Aspas and Less were just carrying these guys asses or something?

These guys are legit

50% EMEA and Americas
100% Pacific
Bruh I would've predicted China easily but I only did my pickems once it was too late for China

100T beating MIBR is not weird at all
100T was easily an A-tier team last year with the potential of being S-tier while MIBR got recently formed and has some unproven players on the roster

So do other teams tho
Heretics is an even better example imo

Probably Heretics if they keep up the same form and everyone keeps searching for theirs along the year or maybe EDG is fully unleashed now

Who ressurected NRG fans?
Y'all gave us one player and we're about to have our worst performance ever

Is gonna be some of the highest level of skill we've ever seen

Fnatic and Loud created this superteam basically

Fnatic when they added Leo and Chron was definitely on the same level

Tbf to Russ he was on the dog role and was cold at times especially when the games got close

3rd best team in Copenhagen sad that they tried to change things around for lcq since i would've loved to see them at Champs

How is this MF still so underrated

Basically the coldest player in the entire world

Nah 2-0

They really gave these guys to the same team ffs they've got blood on their hands
