True XSET looking amazing but i think their going through a Team Liquid Champs 2021 phase

We have to wait and see FPX always does crazy stuff in Lower Bracket

I think FunPlus Phoenix is taking this game either 2-1 or 2-0. The reason why i think this is because their game against Leviatan was amazing to watch and ANGE1 was different, but XSET i think is going through what Team Liquid went through back in Champions 2021 so im scared that XSET, may fall off after Champs but we really dk what will happen but i think FunPlus Phoenix will take this matchup still both teams are amazing but i think NA is losing this one and EMEA is surviving. FunPlus Phoenix just has 10x more experience than XSET on Lan seeing that FunPlus Phoenix won Copenhagen and XSET, bombed out after 2 games after being hyped up and seeing that now FunPlus Phoenix has knowledge and seen how XSET plays i think XSET is gonna get heavy counter-strated.

2-0
FPX 14-12 XSET
FPX 13-9 XSET

2-1
FPX 13-11 XSET
XSET 15-13 FPX
FPX 13-7 XSET

ANGE1 can frag when he needs to and he has loads of experience because of his age, put those 2 together and you have an amazing player and that player for an example is ANGE1.

In my opinion this will be a very close game between both teams but i think that DRX are taking the bag on this one. The reason why i think this is because DRX has gone up against alot more tougher opponents than FNATIC have like FunPlus Phoenix and LOUD, while FNATIC only beat FURIA and 100 Thieves and then lost to XSET in the Quarterfinals and beat Team Liquid which is currently having a bad situation. DRX's mental looks like it has improved dramatically since we last saw them in Reykjavik and Copenhagen and even tho DRX lost to LOUD 2-0 I still think DRX will pull this win.

2-0
DRX 16-14 FNC
DRX 13-6 FNC

2-1
DRX 15-13 FNC
FNC 13-10 DRX
DRX 13-11 FNC

My FunPlus Phoenix vs XSET post
https://www.vlr.gg/140199/funplus-phoenix-vs-xset

Yay is a actual monster man has shown that ADS is a full on viable thing in VAL when everyone saw it as completely, useless his aim is immaculate and shows why he is the most consistent player along side players like ardiis, aspas and stax especially cant forget big boy Marved.

True we just have to see

True but a usually teams like OpTic can stop them but we'll see

True Pearl is NA best map

I think this will either be a close game or completely one sided. The reason why i think this is because OpTic has 10x more LAN experience and has shown more consistency across all val tournaments apart from Champions 2021. XSET have only made it to 2 LAN events and only played 2 games in Copenhagen and they are having the same glory, that Team Liquid had last Champs but i still have high hopes for XSET taking this match but i think OpTic will win regardless so the score line will most likely be 2-0, or if XSET can put up a amazing fight it will be 2-1 but XSET will still lose.

Possibly

i agree with most of this but it's more like this:

Yay>Cryo
Marved>AYRIN
Victor<Zekken
Crashies>BcJ
FNS>dephh

it's nice to see someone with high hopes for their fav team just dont be toxic if they lose against DRX

0.695 Sens 400 DPI

I still think LOUD will be able to win like 40% chance I think but DRX in my opinion has like 60% chance of winning

True

Even if LOUD do beat DRX I still think there is a very slim chance of FNATIC winning. DRX just looking different

I think this matchup can really go either way both of these teams are absolutely amazing, and played very well in the Quarterfinal matches but I think overall DRX will take this matchup 2-1 with 3 really close games. Both rosters are absolutely amazing with DRX focusing on more strategic based gameplay and LOUD with more firepower based gameplay but still I think DRX will take this 2-1.

There's a possibility but I would say it's gonna be a close match in favour of OpTic

EMEA is still in the top 3 best regions so they are difficult matchups

I don't think ORDER will be returning for a while seeing there is no funding

I mean XSET has always been a top NA team and with this performance in Champions most likely they'll get franchising

Out of all of APAC I loved ORDER the most I hope that roster gets a home soon they just needed time

XSET are looking amazing right now. Beating the likes of FunPlus Pheonix and FNATIC 2 of the strongest, EMEA has to offer however I'm hoping the thing that Team Liquid experienced doesn't happen to XSET where they have a amazing run in Champions and immediately start playing bad the next year. I have very high hopes for XSET and have them as my 4th favourite to win champions 3rd being DRX, 2nd being FunPlus Pheonix and 1st being OpTic Gaming, I wish XSET the best of luck.

I think it's because Pearl is a aim orientated map and most of EMEA, don't have the same fragging power as other regions such as NA, East Asia, SA and APAC.

well seeing that it is OpTic Gaming most likely a lot and seeing that Team Liquid beat Paper Rex, i would assume they bring a lot as well so i would say at least a cross all streams like 400k-600k.

I think DRX will probably get to Lower Round 3. The reason i think this is because during their matches against FURIA and 100 Thieves it appears that their mental has improved from Reykjavik and Copenhagen, for example when they were losing on Ascent to FURIA they started to make a massive comeback and usually they start losing a lot of rounds you can see in replays that they are getting frustrated, however they have shown their improvement in their mental so i think the best they'll get is Lower Round 3 but idk for certain what will happen.

I have:

KRU Esports>XERXIA Esports
FNATIC>FURIA
FunPlus Pheonix>XSET

I can see it

Stopped reading at "stopped"

if his becomes a copypasta im gonna piss myself laughing

I mean that's fair half of all general threads are just hate lol

I'm just basing it off evidence that we have seen so far from both, of these teams there's nothing wrong with putting out your own opinion.

In my opinion Paper Rex is gonna beat Team Liquid 2-1. The reason why i think this is because during the match against EDward Gaming, Team Liquid looked alot more disciplined and more prepared for their matches and everyone thought EDward Gaming was gonna beat Team Liquid 2-0 because of their performance against Leviatan but besides all of this improvement from Team Liquid, I think Paper Rex is also trying hard to improve so i think Paper Rex will take this match 2-1.

Maps will possibly look like this:

TL 14-12 PRX

PRX 13-11 TL

PRX 13-10 TL

I dont think there gonna make it out groups

but he only now made the swap cause ShahZaM didnt want him to

TenZ is good he just needs to get comfortable on Chamber.

They are not playing good but playing decent enough to win against XERXIA, but when XSET win they are definitely going to lose to FunPlus Pheonix and then lose to KRU to qualify for Playoffs. This is their second LAN tournament so we cant be to hard on them I'm hoping that they pick up the pace and improve in 2023.

agreed

They are looking really strong right now I think they, are either gonna get 1st place or 3rd place. Their overall skill and consistency is amazing and they have better LAN experience compared to the other teams apart from Paper Rex, KRU Esports, FNATIC, FunPlus Pheonix, XERXIA Esports, Team Liquid, DRX, ZETA DIVISION and LOUD. OpTic has a very high chance of winning Champions.

if you wanna believe that you can

I understand that its just funny really that this kid thinks that I dont mind them being even. XERXIA is a good team its just dont say a team owns a team that won and gained a lot more.

na its just funny that your team, has nothing underneath its belt lol and is probably gonna get grouped this tournament aswell.

I know its even but this kid said XERXIA, a team who hasn't gotten out of groups all year owns OpTic, a team that got them grouped won Reykjavik and came 3rd in Copenhagen. They lost to NORTHEPTION like how do you lose that.

how

FURIA looking solid right now against DRX, I'm pretty sure everyone had DRX winning against FURIA but they are looking really good right now even if they lose this game in the next 2 maps, it shows how much teams can improve in a short amount of time.

True well that's KRU idk what's been happening to them, all year but they have a good shot of making Playoffs this tournament because of their group but Leviatan, has gave us some really good games on the International stage with only 4 matches underneath their belt.

I have high hopes for Leviatan, they were able to beat one of the best EMEA teams with lots of experience apart from Dimasick.

last champs tho all the other times we've seen them compete, they always have a early leave one tournament doesn't solidify them as a amazing team.

I can see where your coming from we have only seen them compete once in Copenhagen, and only played 3 matches even though they were really close.
