i never said it was good, but the last time we saw it it wasn't bad, especially for their 6th best map.
Ascent is a 50-50, same with breeze
100T win on icebox, bind, split

bro.... regional matches are allowed, but rematches aren't
so its
FUT vs Lev/Th
FPX vs Lev/TH

HI GEO HRU

who the fuck burnt the kitchen

the only map besides lotus (100T perma) that i am confident on GenG winning is Sunset, and even then 100T's sunset isn't bad

i think FPX is a better team but FUT would beat them if they played again because of the factors i listed

FPX can't play FUT again because they already played..... ofc if they play again FUT will win because of rematch curse plus momentum and other factors

1st-2nd PRX-100T
3rd-4th GenG-FNC
5th-6th FPX-EDG (putting the chinese teams here)
7th-8th G2-Lev
9th-10th Fut-TH
11th-12th T1-DRG

Lev also looked way better vs 100T than they did vs GenG

no the top 2 were clearly PRX and 100T

sorry is 😂 better for you

if its FUT vs TH and FPX vs Lev my perfect pickem will be ruined by random draw

why not?

this is copium
if they get a bad first matchup they can definitely go 0-2, but if they win their first matchup i don't see anyone stopping them

#5

its just what i've heard from costreams and the like, nothing concrete that says this is the reason, but He's played raze a lot more than viper historically

bc he's not comfortable on viper is what i've heard

you do realize how much EMEA talked shit abt G2+ Americas after 1 map? this is a PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE

free agent cup? why would anyone watch a free agent cup

ANOTHER BENJYWHIFFY MOMENT

benjywhiffy moment

as a member of the penguin empire ima have to take you out back you can't be saying this

that group is so stacked i doubt any team could go 4-0

so was me saying they'd lose to LOUD and Lev after week 1 but guess what happened

If NRG and SEN played later in the season, sure they could win, but because they play 1st week ima pick SEN

We just saw G2/T1 have 9-3 halves in favor of defense….

idk ask c0m lmfao.
With the way T1’s coach talked about icebox, it sounded like it was prepped specifically for G2’s comp, playstyle, players.
Every one of these is different and it actually favors Lev because of how tailored it is.
The chamber’s value gets neutered by harbor, aspas is the exact opposite of icy(I can go on about the difference in player styles), unlike GenG, T1 only have sova util to clear through the smokes, and you can’t hit A 12 times vs lev you will get owned by aspas and Tex

I only mentioned CNED bc he’s also Turkish. This has been said about so many people and none of them have been right

ur good

there was an exact thread abt this for cned iirc

no sunset is not Gen.G's perma they've picked it multiple times and thats just from memory (vs DRX and vs PRX in playoffs)

yall are still heavily underrating FPX, 75-25 is more accurate

Lev threw so many man up situations on the last 2 maps in gun rounds. I totalled ~12 i forget the exact number. (and trolled some rounds like this on icebox too)
thats around 50% of the rounds Lev lost. That's not going to happen again, especially not against a team like T1 with much worse mechanical prowess than GenG.
and there's no point in using G2 as a comparator because the stylistic matchups are completely different. while vs GenG i'd say both are neutral, T1 are a heavy counter towards how G2 play imo and Lev are neutral or favor G2
lev win icebox, bind, and sunset while T1 win lotus and breeze. the other 2 maps are 50-50s i haven't liked either team on them but we haven't seen Lev's split so they might have something cooked up

That was easily the worst performance from G2 since groups, it’s an abysmal performance relative to every other game bar the grand finals where they had no sleep or time to prep and 100T are a drastically better team than them in the first place

bro are you only looking at stats?. Go look at the GenG vs T1 bo3. It’s a completely different GenG from the one we saw yesterday….. the GenG in the lower final is a much closer approximation to the GenG vs Lev, and using that lower final game T1 lost 0-3….
I’ll Give T1 some slack, they only really lost 0-2 because on lotus they experimented

Why wouldn’t they?

The game vs Lev is not a 50-50 lev are favored

They always were the 2nd worst team at this tournament by a wide margin. This was an abysmal performance from G2 and they still won.

ayooo

^^^ plat chat watch party >>>>>>>>>>>>
then ryan central + sliggy

its accurate now, i wrote down the game wrong in Kru matches on accident

no i didn't, everything is thought out
lets use G2 for example
I have them 2-0ing C9 and Kru because of their favorable playstyle vs those teams, and valyn being a better igl (which they need, they aren't winning the firepower game)
I have them 1-2 vs NRG because FNS is a better IGL than valyn, but the team is relatively new with FNS
and i have SEN 2-0ing G2 because i rate Johnqt as a better igl than valyn, but the team isn't new

currently:
Kru 5-1, 11-4
C9 5-1, 10-6
G2 3-3, 7-6
SEN 3-3, 7-6
NRG 3-3, 7-6
NRG matches:

SEN matches:

G2 matches:

KRU matches:

C9 matches:

final results:
Kru 8-2, 17-9
C9 6-4, 14-13
G2 5-5, 12-10
SEN 5-5, 13-11
NRG 5-5, 13-12

shhhh ur supposed to see how long it waits for him to realize
he also edited it lmfao

then VLR is really good preparation with there being children like acegamer, asuna yuuki, sentinelmain, etc

s0m plays duelist in ranked 90% of time, recently switched to perma smokes
victor starts grinding duelists, especially jett, in ranked
connect the dots

i dont think he understood conceit

he's the IGL, there isn't another decent option besides him

its the best piece ever to exist
