LF players or a team ig

alsos lmk any cool team names if you got plz 😋

😭

step aside and scroll brainlets, let the real men talk

Already international level teams:

1. Leviatán - this is probably the best team in the world. Things seem to be changing though with Aspas and whatnot so tbd?
2. LOUD - this team is once more a complete lock for top 4 in the world. Saadhak dif as always but losing their coach may hurt more than expected.
3. Sentinels - Kaplan has been doing a great job. zekken's raze is truly gonna be the defining feature of Sentinels this season and is gonna be the difference between Sentinels as a domestic threat and Sentinels as a international threat, but he is probably the 3rd best raze in the league so fret not. Also don't fall for the Zellsis bait, pANcada will be back to the starting roster when the season starts and they will make an obnoxious amount of tweets about it.

Depends:

4. KRU - I expect KRU to do well early and struggle a bit more during late season. I do expect to see strong international performances in events they do qualify for. If any ofc.
5. NRG - I expect NRG to do well later on but if they can't pick up traction fast enough I don't expect to see them at either Masters events or in the top 8 at Champs

G2:

6. G2 - What NRG did at Champs last year I fully expect to see the same from G2 this year. Poor internationally, pretty great domestically. I wouldn't be shocked if they placed in the top 4 in the domestic league but I don't expect it. If they do manage to make an international in an LCQ or something, don't get your hopes up

Big Gap: - Definitely not competitive internationally

7. MIBR - Probably gonna be the better of the two remaining Brazilian teams. Players are fine, if fRoD cooks up well I see them being competitive with G2 but they haven't really played anything this off season for me to infer from so they are lower middle. I expect them to be around 7th in the league but we will see.
8. Cloud9 - Don't get too excited when they win their first 2 matches of the season; this is an unserious team fighting for 6th place overall domestically and probably losing that title to whatever EG eventually scraps together...
9. FURIA - I expect flash in the pan performances every couple maps or so but I expect this to be a team that is playing catch up strategically their entire season

yeah... not competitive domestically!

10. 100 Thieves - yeah...

No Team

11. EG - they just don't have a roster atm lmao. If they pick up who I expect I wouldn't be surprised if they were similar to G2 domestically but significantly better internationally if they managed to squeak into an event

Riot keeps on introducing chip meta’s into preseasons and first splits, and then later going back and adjusting the game for the Jett Chamber type of comps because they are usually more competitive at the highest level (opinion). Here’s the thing though now, is that in a world with the Outlaw, it’s always a chip meta and the whole gun ruins the pace of offense and defense for the first 15-25 seconds of the match on nearly every map

why is this post still up. truly a EU brain moment. get well soon

I’m not quite sure what you mean by “the quote” but if you’re talking about Pancada maybe going back to a Brazilian org for the next season I personally wouldn’t be surprised at all really. I think it depends a lot on the upcoming seasons results but I kinda see a world where LOUD blows up and restructures after this season. Seems like good branding, “Pancada is back!” After dropping 3-4 players.

Sorta related but also don’t think Pancada is actually benched this season either, I think it’s preseason bait from sentinels. They don’t wanna show their cards in full and also get that “Pancada is back!” moment

What?

Really? I didn’t hear any of this and didn’t see anything like that in Mazino’s tweet? Did nzr talk about this on stream or somewhere? I sadly don’t speak Spanish or Portuguese so I miss a lot of info regarding the team and all that

why the big fuss over the nzr move? I agree its probably bad, not glad to see it either but why is this the end of the world for some of yall? I feel like the Pancada decisions are more egregious but havnt been met with the same level of distain as this. fill me in if im missing something?

<3

Is there community opinions on wether it’s viable for them to just absorb what’s left of Turtle Troop?

Picking up scraps from TSM is when you know a team is really fucked ain’t it.

Can’t wait for the EG narrative to once again go from “worst team in americas”, to “best team in the world” hahahah

These are the last 2 americas rosters to be finalized yes?

Do we have any clue what’s happening to either?

It’s to signify to other users on the site that they have had cognitive development difficulties growing up or currently so people can interact with them respectfully and accordingly when they say things like “Navi is a top 3 team in the world”

???????

why vitality hype? EU explain, they just look really alright, nothing crazy

So the roster is Victor Crashies Ethan Demon1 Marved supposedly right.

Am I the only one that's not super confident in this roster? Like good riddance ardiis is gone but Marved IGL is kinda tuff ngl. I think Ethan IGL would probably be better of the two but I just don't really get how this team deals with Viper maps for instance and is gonna struggle vs these teams that are really slow and deliberate if anyone besides FUT develops this Guild(2022) like playstyle. I feel like every map for them is just gonna end up like NRG vs BLG where NRG should just straight up be winning but they just choke, every fucking round to just getting walled by something somehow or just having gaps in their playbook.

dawg u just need to start watching them?

lol good riddance

I'd def give Halo Infinite another try if you havnt already given S5 another chance. I didn't grow up playing halo or anything so im not even a biased source, its just really good rn and the sandbox is so sweet. Lots of cool forge stuff too.

Also if you havn't tried the new fortnite:

• racing mode
• guitar hero mode
• lego minecraft mode
  i def would. its really cool what they are doing rn. I miss games that innovate

I’ve been playing a shit ton of Fortnite lately. All the new shit is really awesome tbh, wish the new map was slightly better.
Lethal Company is also really fun if you have friends, lots of the mods are real cool.
Halo Infinite is in a real good spot rn and was my go to before Fortnite recently.
If I’m not playing one of those 3 games or Valorant recently I usually find myself going back to Risk of Rain 2

Guys get it? T0nz! Isn’t that hilarious. I should comment that on every thread

if being more ready makes you a fluke then idk what a real win is

mb

tarik has score in top corner

FUT beat 100T remember, best team in americas

I got nothing against nats. But seeing people in 2023 talking about him as tier 1 region defining talent is just ridiculous. I saw a thread last week talking about how Russia is producing valorants best talent and Nats was proof of that…

Can’t wait to see how yall manage to desperately fight off the washed allegations for him after he loses to TenZ in 20 minutes…

Can we stop saying this shit in every thread please. This is cringe.

hi pugboy

naw foxy9's jett is better tbh

seriously. been waiting for times like these

green wall match history feelsgoodman
been waiting on this. glad my two fav teams SEN and LEV are ready to tear it up this season.

i was glad to see Jinggg but the Monyet and Mindfreak roles just dont make sense too me

I havnt gotten to watch the series yet but Mindfreak on Sova? Monyet def isn’t taking over smokes right? I thought his entire pickup is cuz he’s got a cracked Raze to compensate for -Jinggg

LMFAO DUBAI

Bros fallen to the propaganda

how is the combined power of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa producing about as much notable talent as Canada 😭

yeah but 5 days?

do yall have urs? neither of mine are on my acc but are claimed

The map win margins weren’t so MASSIVE

Every game is soooooo decisive it’s insane. Does anyone have a statistic of how many GC matches this event have been 13-8 or lower?

6/ for 6 on pickems rn

1 - demon1 (is not better than Aspas and probably isn’t even best player on his team)

2 - c0m (better than Less how?)

3 - Leaf (better than Aspas how?)

4 - Less (Sure ig)

5 - boostio (what?)

6 - xeppa (LMFAO, Zekken Ethan and Victor better flexes)

7 - aspas (top 3, idek what ur smoking)

8 - sAdhak (yes, low top 10 prolly worse than someone like Ethan, best IGL)

9 - s0m (one tick below Sadhhak is exactly where I’d but s0m personally)

10- yay (Hasn’t even played in the region in 2 years lmfao)

Idk but I figure any Palestinian players are pretty busy rn. I only know they recognize Taiwan cuz there’s 3 Taiwanese players in this matchup https://www.vlr.gg/285012/top-esports-vs-17gaming-china-evolution-series-act-3-heritability-ur1

True

As they should. Just think it’s funny

Bootcamp in tier 3 region. goked already making awful decisions for the team. EU-brain will ruin the team if they arn't careful

Nobody saying Keznit is crazy

also can we stop putting foxy9 on anything but raze and jett? also i bet foxy9 would be cracked on that Reyna role something whips out on bind and lotus
