I was rooting for SEN up until this point, but now I need to see EDG shut Boostio the fuck up and win China their first ever champs. Let's fucking go EDG, make history fucking happen

I swear to god every time I put faith in a team they turn to shit man

It's not gonna be an edited this time, if they somehow lose this after absolutely stomping them in the upper finals just know I'm gonna be upset LMAO.

If you told me this would be the matchup when playoffs started, I would've said LEV all the way

Now though, G2 are probably taking this. Looking at their last 6 series, they have not only won all 6 series, they have won on all 7 maps in the pool in those 6 series. G2 are looking like a s c a r y team right now as a team, especially when they have no permaban AND ban advantage in the grand finals

Edit: Hold up, I might be wrong about the every map in the pool thing, I was counting split and I'm remembering that might be the map that left the pool, gimme a moment to look at everything again lmao

2nd Edit: They ABSOLUTELY be perma banning Sunset at the moment and only playing the other 6 maps. Still, with ban advantage they still absolutely look scary

Ethan
Demon1
Jawgemo
s0m
FNS
Potter

Tell me this team wouldn't cook if this became NRG next year. With the rumors of Chet leaving back for counterstrike, Crashies and Victor may leave as well, and I think that creates the perfect opportunity for Demon1 to come back in, and Potter could come, bringing Jawgemo with her, and coach an EG core with two fantastic OG members of NRG as well. There's definitely enough flex capability in the roster for Potter to move roles around per map like she likes to do, and Potter and FNS' minds together could most likely create some of the most insane strats we've seen yet

Patitek would be an improvement over ANYONE on KOI lmao

Patitek 100% DESERVES to be on a team after this performance, if Team Heretics doesn't keep him I really hope somebody picks him up. He has really shown his value this season, dude wasn't even playing with the team for a little over a month before masters, and then just comes back in and gels perfectly and gives amazing utility.

I don't think anyone truly expected DRG to win this game so it probably comes as no shock that they lost, but I will say I was surprised by how close it was in this series. They showed signs of life/potential and there's a chance that, with some work, they could actually win an international game come champions if they make it there. I could see them beating FUT in a rematch tbh

I wonder if people realize just how much Benjy is impacting on this roster

Over the last 5 series Benjy is +65, and he hasn't gone negative in a series since they played Sentinels in Madrid where he went -6. Dude is consistently f r y i n g for these guys over the last couple months and is an absolutely integral part to their success in these playoffs.

You fucking go fortnite dude, so many people doubted you

Wait how is Foxy9 carrying the last two series out of nowhere, homies gonna make me actually start believing

Honestly really surprised and impressed that C9 managed to pull this series back and win. Hope that they can keep improving

Flashback had a ton of personal issues come up and requested to leave the roster for now. There is a chance he will be back but it depends on what happens in his life :( I was confused at first too, thinking they dropped flashback for Beyn, but no, DRX are actually being a W org here and respecting flashback a lot
