Well...they're the last 2 in the upper bracket, Sen has to face G2 eventually since they exist in the same region.

Ehh, if SEN fails to make Bangkok, that gives them more motivation to prep and renew their mental fortitude during the downtime for split 1 while masters is happening, not necessarily the worst thing especially given how last year went for SEN post-madrid.

What esports/sports teams are you rooting for?

well...pancada looks back to form atm and going toe-to-toe with Sen with Loud looking to be top 3 in the region, Sacy won a masters last year and retired as the only player to date with both a champs and a masters title (he also ended off with a 4th place at last champs, not shabby at all), Aspas was touted as the best duelist consistently post-2022 and are top 4 now by beating out C0M and Demon1 LEV, Saadhak has people buying into KC's potential and long-term plan this year and made the VIT superteam sweat this kickoff, Less was headhunted by Sayf to create the VIT superteam who are currently smashing the scene in EMEA. All in all they aged way way way better than EG atm individually.

Alexander Graham Bell
James Cameron
James L Kraft

Not in order mentioned in the title

You should've added in VIT creating a superteam with Sayf recruiting Derke and Less, no one would've believed that was even possible.

I'm surprised the ai chatbot didn't mention Non-Rational Gaming (used frequently when memeing their LoL team).

Zander said that Sen never trialed him.

I thought Sen only trialed Jawg besides N4RRATE and Bang?

possible, we've seen crazier comebacks in VCT history.

Is still so chalked to see FNS have 1/5th the kills of Ethan and Mada yet more deaths than them.

Looks like they're waking up after switching sides, might not be all doom and gloom.

If LEV can beat G2 they would be champs contenders.

Doesn't EDG run the region and qualify to every international? Sen has bombed out multiple times domestically and only made a return to the international stage by qualification last year (we don't count kickoff 2023).

We'll get Sen vs G2 in upper finals soon, don't worry.

Why's Loud in S if Sen is having close games with them?

Ngl I had to do a double take, because I completely agree if you're talking about LoL esports player Bong
https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Bong_(Cho_Bo-woong)

I won't take slander against Bang though.

didn't 100T lose to Sen already?

Honestly they could be practicing anything, this is probably the one scrim that I won't be putting anything real stock into since both teams are buying into the same gameplan and sharing information with each other, with the added flexibility of being able to run drills/lineups repeatedly like what EG did in 2023.

I would move EG below DRX if we are factoring in consistency in equal measures to peak, EG has peaked higher than DRX in 2023 but otherwise DRX has far better domestic showings on average year over year and makes playoffs at champs consistently.

I'm really confused, no real Americas fan claims that Sen is the best atm or even in the off-season, we all practically agreed that G2 looks the strongest and Sen has lost multiple times during the off-season to NRG, which heavily tempered expectations for kickoff.

EG has a goated coach and a winning mentality, C9 has nothing.

You do realize Oxy intentionally extended his contract with C9 to 2028 of his own accord right?

Asuna won Split 1 Americas and made it to a masters last year which is better than nothing.

dude typed all this out while having a G2 flair, I can't imagine what he would write for the G2 vs C9 matchup tomorrow.

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?
