you're not going to have Rossy back with marved, there's no igl on that team

What’s the point of you making these threads if you aren’t going to follow through?

Neo Classico / Sae Classico (if we want to adapt it to reflect the Korean rivalry, don't crucify me Korean netizens)

Based

lets also forget that Sen won Madrid without Neon in the meta, and clearly don't need Zekken to play Neon to be good.

So just all talk when they're up?

Holy damn I didn't expect these threads to pop up this early, thought we would get these in kick-off.

The player piloting the Jax, Bin, is known to be the best Jax player in professional play.

dude Pi'ed, -100 aura after that glow-up map 1

Getting diffed by Sagemommy gave him motivation to aim train.

Jawgemo was a free agent and insta-signed with G2 within 24 hours of his free agency. Man wanted out.

Ngl y0y is back to Yay today.

Where's the thread for tracking bets/promises made on this forum?

MIBR could've legitimately gotten that roster, Sacy and Saadhak were deciding between Loud and MIBR to build a team in back then.

JohnQT is muslim you're correct there (hence why he was fasting in Madrid).

Can Reduxx sub in if he's not 18 yet? Or would they need someone else to come in case someone else gets sick before Reduxx hits 18 middle of next season?

What kind of data are you feeding into chatgpt to generate these responses for each user? Their post history?

What is even the definition of a superteam at this point? I know people dog on Zellsis and call him mid.

Zekken didn't even play Neon until Champs this year, he's far from an abuser.

JohnQT was competing in NA T2 and was reuniting with his former coach Kaplan on Sen, it wasn't like they plucked him out of nowhere.

Too bad they ran into their kryptonite, Sen coming in from lowers.

What makes you think Sentinels will drop Zekken after being their mvp this season?

Would you consider Doombros to be a highly competent hire if Liquid does pick him up as HC?

Trust me you don't want to live in Somalia.

If you're adding 2024 EDG, you might as well add 2024 Heretics and 2024 Sen

Sen vs GenG probably makes it on the list given how their 4 matchups and the impact of their matches shaped the events.

Depends on whether they're playing on a Jett map, in which case Zekken is a world-class Sova.

Losing the magnificent bald man though :(

Highly possible, competition is always leveling up and not guaranteed team cohesion with whoever fills in Sacy's shoes (Sen is losing a strong veteran voice on the team).

Why didn't NRG make a single LAN this year?

Are we even sure Sacy is replacing Mazino? Off-season has only been going on for a week so far.

Stan culture and K-popifcation of esports is a scourge on this Earth.

Add FPX to that list too.

He's basically the equivalent of LoL Uzi in Valorant now with that win.

I know that EDG is getting all their flowers now rightfully so, but looking back at the perpetual second place China team FPX I can't help but feel sympathy for them given their harsh matchups early on or unfortunate close losses they had all year round:

Event | Opponent | Map Scoreline | Map Rounds

VCT 24 CN Kickoff (GF): | EDG (Winner) | 1 - 3 | Breeze: (12-14), Split: (6-13), Icebox: (13-8), Ascent: (14-16)
(Skipping Masters Madrid because they did get farmed there)
VCT 24 CN Stage 1 (GF): | EDG (Winner) | 1 - 3 | Lotus: (13-6), Bind: (9-13), Icebox: (12-14), Breeze: (8-13)
VCT 24 Masters Shanghai (Swiss R2): | Gen G (Winner) | 1 - 2 | Lotus: (16-14), Sunset: (7 - 13), Ascent: (11 - 13)
VCT 24 Masters Shanghai (Swiss R3): | Team Heretics (Runner-Up) | 1 - 2 | Sunset: (4 - 13), Lotus: (13 - 6), Icebox: (15 - 17)
VCT 24 CN Stage 2 (GF): | EDG (Winner) | 2 - 3 | Sunset: (9 - 13), Abyss: (13 - 8), Haven: (7 - 13), Icebox: (13 - 9), Bind: (8 - 13)
VCT 24 Champions Tour (Group Stage): | Team Heretics (Runner-Up) | 1 - 2 | Abyss: (12 - 14), Bind: (13 - 9), Lotus: (13 - 15)

Just have to wonder would things have been different if FPX managed to win a single Grand Finals series vs EDG in stage 1 or 2 and thus secured different seeding and matchups in internationals and not face the grand finalists early on cough group of death cough, or how much the trajectory of the tournament would've changed if FPX managed to win even one of the series against Gen. G or Heretics.

EDG org owner about to buy them all homes (he bought homes for EDG 2021 LoL Worlds roster).

yes

No one knows yet, they haven't played it ever. Maybe we'll see it today.

Man Leo is nuts.

Tbf that looks like a standard blueprint for any popular sports team, you see this quite often with T1 from LoL for an example.

Last one is...interesting considering who started this post.

unfortunately one of them gets eliminated in lowers at minimum, since they're facing each other next.

Brazil is crazy competitive as well, I would move them up at least to contenders, can't count out the Loud 2022 roster talents that's spread out in Americas atm.

They unfortunately ran into Sentinels that made a return to form.

ENGH coached Team Gambit to their masters win at Berlin 2021

Here's the video that I'm referring to: https://x.com/karminecorpeng/status/1806738330559684751?s=46&t=ZCmQDcUIwfpxqsQckviwJQ

You were right Bulky

Is Engh out of Karmine? Last I remembered was that fakeout video that said he was signed til 2027.

Its to deny the other team ult orbs from killing your team.

EDIT: Nvm you already addressed it on your initial post

Sen wasn't even in the conversation man
