no keznit did not care for 1/2 of last year lol

most of my posts are old lets see what it says about me lmao

at champs sure, overall no, below NRG, LOUD, EG and 100T, and Furia(so 6th) in terms of international wins and behind all of those but furia in results (so 5th)

domestically sure, internationally NO

you do realize NA and SA are one now? its not NA vs SA its AMER vs EMEA, and AMER is winning 2-1 in championships

egg.

i thought yall were talking abt the real asuna lmao

you do realize that was the first match with those 5 for fnatic so riot had no way of knowing, but securing the SEN vs FNC matchup ensured a lot of attention on the event
and that this was the first LOUD matchup with QCK lol

harbor is infinitely more valuable before postplant but brimstone is infinitely more valuable in post plant is the simplest way to put it, however partially incorrect it is

i never used to get it but with the changes you can use him on b site very well now and his ult is very good on the map so him being the 2nd controller gives your viper the permissions to be crazy (if she dies just b exec)

o7

no it wouldn't the free version of chat GPT would say SEN since it only keeps track till 2021

no no no, the end all be all can also mean "the ultimate aim or conclusion" which would translate to best player/aimer = team will win, which history has proven AGAINST

do you know what the phrase "the end all be all" means?

when sideshow and bren were ranking teams in the 5 minutes before it went to the desk for LOUD they said "no results for LOUD"

no, i'd rather them play ONE offseason LAN event early on to build cohesion

i think the biggest thing going for sen was their momentum, and by the end of map 2 vs LOUD there momentum was GONE. its going to be a close game, but i'm slightly leaning 100T

aspas won 20/39 at champs, what are you smoking? (and 47/90 across the year)

well since VCT americas didn't have any scrim results me not having any doesn't seem outrageous lol

and looked shit besides that lol, 5-12 on the year or whatever they were isn't good

but they didn't have the best player in the world (aspas 23, yay 22, tenz 21) so lets not act like having the best top level duelist is the end all be all

you're right.
I'm sorry your team is going out 0-2

because you are a sen fan, it and being a lil dumb go hand in hand

they had 3 series to warmup lmao

the chance of both SEN and LEV winning is very low, minimum 25% chance because 4 outcomes
100T, LOud
100T, Lev
SEn, Loud
Sen, Lev

buddy is getting ahead of himself

1. much more 90-10 saadhak because of zombs NA and BR had a rivalry for a while
2. i expected them to be better than C9 and thus far i'd say they have been (this is more due to me HATING how vanity igl's he always overcooks when he can just brute force stuff for a guranteed win in matches where he just has aimers (lock\in where he had yay and vs mibr when he had oxy are 2 examples)

closer to 100T, c9 than NRG, Loud

yeah 100T in a 4v5 w/o boostio would suck

the difference in "almost lost" between Lev and Loud is a whole map (if Sen won map 1, the series wouldn't be Sen's, but if 100T did it would be 100T's

WHY WAS LCQ RED NOT GRAY OOPS

(1) no I am not, Steel still had his supporters at the time of masters 2022 because he was still on a mental health break (he was not dropped from 100T, he removed himself)
(4) we're getting WAYYY off topic my first rebuttal was saying that sacy's skye was servicable LMFAO
(10)- There is always a barrier team between tiers, Lev is that barrier team currently until further notice

and that required the greatest comeback in the history of VCT lol

c9 didn't play ascent at the 2021 LCQ

well for X10 it isn't because i specifically remember them using cypher

the core 3 of sova-jett-kayo was used by multiple teams at champions 2021, X10, acend, and 1 or 2 others IIRC but it'd have to check i remember x10 playing it and i checked acend's matches and they ran the default comp with astra instead of omen

no, Acend used the same KJ-Kayo-Sova-jett-smoker comp at champions in 2021

it was used before LOUD was made im pretty sure

both times it was with young rookies in whoever the other 3 on vikings were and Tuyz/Cau on LOUD, but it could also just be a saadhak thing lol

because they got boomed by losing map 3, i'm not saying they would've gotten far in playoffs but the premise is that they ALMOST beat the best or second best team of 2021

when NRG played furia the announcers/casters literally said ethan had no previous igl experience, only supportive midrounding for 100t and i know NRG isn't a starting team, but they prove you don't NEED to start with an igl, you can make a system without one

current NRG are the antithesis to this, one of the best teams itw with no dedicated igl (ethan is picking up most of the duties but he never previously igld, they didn't look for an main igl)

dude, they were up TWELVE FIVE ON MAP 3

any team starting would rather get saadhak than him

none of these clear, but saadhak does

its definitely too soon, he is still in saadhak's shadow
(most people won't remember but saadhak should've beaten gambit in 2021 if they didn't choke when he was on team vikings and the team was him, sacy, and friends
edit: you donkeys they were up 12-5 on map 3 saying they should've won is a rational statement

(1) yes by the end of 2022 it was 90-10, i was talking about when saadhak first took it after upper finals, it was still much more split, and i was thinking of steel as the only reason he wasn't still on 100T was mental health issues, he still had some believers (me included but i was saadhak first)
(4) they definitely took a back seat to those players, but they were still in the picture last year while cauanzin, C0m, Leo, etc were not even in the picture in 2022
(7) there are some old Plat chat episodes on it if you are interested
(10) i get where you are coming from and i agree with you on premise, but at the end of the day maps win games not rounds

I've added one that includes teams' series winrate, using the formula that includes series winrate, the results are:

sen are too high, loud are not THAT much better than NRG and lev to constitute a kinda close 2-0 putting SEN above them

its alphabetically ordered lol
