'best technical mastery on yoru' is a crazy take, perhaps his other agents but his yoru dive is nowhere near the best.

why did they ever change off the harbor comp that they played last year. They had the best bind out of any team

what the fuck is wrong with you

Still think they did a very good job on that map, honestly not playing a viper on lotus is a huge disadvantage no matter what you have cooked

drift is complete dogshit due to most of the guns not even being accurate at that range, just an rng battle at that point

I don't think ethan was that much of an upgrade over FNS, sure he mechanically outclasses him in every aspect, but I'm pretty sure we will never see the decisive mid-rounds and overall depth that we saw from OPTIC. Not saying that these guys can't win a world though, would be a failure this year if they didn't

EG 2-1 G2
100T 2-1 SEN

this brings me to question why fns would never consider taking a coaching role, even if he wasn't frontline

I mean the blowout was probably accentuated by the visa issues, no prac + flying into LA two days ago

Chet has to hire FNS as his right hand man

FNS is the best IGL to touch the game (tied with chadhaak) but it is overall the coaches job to guide the players on their site execs and layering of util, albeit midrounding is more of an igl job

I think SEN still take it, I honestly expected more from NRG after that month of prac. The overall layers of util and strats looked kinda bland

NRG has amazing players and probably the highest firepower of any team don't get me wrong, quick 2-0 on loud. But I swear old NRG and Optic had way more layers to their util, gameplan and midrounds than what we are seeing now. FNS was the mastermind behind all this

No team gets lucky against each other, at the end of the day the better team won Madrid and I also don't know how you brought this up, I deadass said that Sen AND GenG's depth look better than what we are seeing from NRG and Loud

I mean its just demon1 doing demon1 things but he is nowhere near the level of other razes. Needs to clean up the raze movement and be more reactive with his util

brother is smoking the NRG pack. These games are nowhere near the depth that we saw from GenG and Sen

my goat inspire_val would never join a team with such underperformance

texture in 2023

Dw bro you'll get to see champs this year since you missed the last one

I respect that Fnatic could've made a deep run but n0vi are going nowhere

can't read graphs, its fkpr vs total rounds. Zekken still has the highest fkpr over autumn whilst having the highest rounds played. Further on the x-axis = best fkpr. However the furthest from the origin on a y=x line shows the most consistently high fkpr hence the best

random tourney that probably had the highest skill levels ever. Also zekken>demon 1 stats in finals, its not even close

fake flair?
Didn't watch GenG vs Loud did we??

yea never understood why they didn't follow louds gameplan. I think the games are gonna be way closer than last time, should be a good match

GenG's comp on breeze is actually suboptimal though. One initiator and no sentinel on that large of a map denies them any information. Sen just have to play slow, default and draw out the kayo util, shouldn't be too hard after that

geng hasn't played bind once this tournament and sunset is their perma ban. The playing field is a lot more level than you think

Ok sunset and bind are def getting banned
The only map sen have a very high chance is lotus and perhaps ascent.
Unless they can make a large turn around their split is looking very stagnant, and their icebox is a mirror comp of GenG, idk where you got the 'suboptimal comp'.
I do believe they can destroy GenG on breeze if they have some good prep time, they just gotta vod review loud vs GenG and stop running in head first

B main control isn't as important anymore because of the orb, also more util is required to clear a site that is so compact leaving little left for post plant or to push through into spawn

Amazing team don't get me wrong but their map pool isn't looking the best rn. I still have faith in their split but they gotta change something up on the jett maps. Perhaps take a page out of heretic's book and move towards other duelist like neon and some more off meta comps during the americas season.

he's definitely the best raze there (texture has played sub 20 rounds so there's insufficient data) but you do have a point about his jett. Should've worded it better, he is by far, the best raze currently.

Its one singular day so it shouldn't be much worry unless you can't complete your job well. Don't make this a habit though could definitely mess you up in the long run

I just think it's cause raze, jett and yoru are just much better a dive, and with how strong some agents are at stalling with util (viper) its just impossible to get through without an agent with mobility to increase space. I think Neon will definitely see some more play with TH showing how to utilise her correctly, but phoenix and reyna are truly a lost cause

fartdiss would indeed impress with a high 0.1 fkpr and 0.9 fdpr

Classic powercreep case
40% is a large decrease, so much so that you could just tank a whole raze nade at an angle. I do think removing the charges may be a good change as well as damage by boombot

Also nerf viper, just make it so she has set charges to when she can put up her orb and wall (probably 2) this would solve pretty much everything. If you don't think viper needs a slight nerf at the pro level, your tweaking

Gotta drug test this kid.
On a real note thou, highest acs, fkpr, kpr and acs in the tournament. Truly the stats of a goat duelist

wait bro is cooking, actually 1000iq change

Either this is a troll or bro is delusional asf, this is why sen fans get a bad rep

ngl oxg would make a deep run in madrid

highest apr in the whole tournament playing initiator, this man is going nowhere. He's the best support that sen could ask for and is the definition of a team player

They are definitely the weakest on breeze, but they could def cook up some yoru comp there. I do think icebox would be an easy fix and they also gotta rethink a bit of their sunset

don't know but pretty sure teams will start perma banning when against sentinels. Their split is looking like EGs fracture

Definitely could be up there, also think Tenz is in the discussion
I know he's technically a flex but 4/7 maps in the rotation favour omen as smokes

I do think that your correct with the main difference being map pool. Pretty sure SEN will shine on any raze maps and GENG will do so on any jett maps (breeze, ascent, icebox). Think the pool is pretty even

honestly could work with their roles

its honestly expected that sen lose this coming game, KC have a better map pool and played their first game a whole day in advance

ok maybe not the vod review is applicable but definitely fatigue and the fact KC's map pool is better (seemed that way vs EMEA)

Sen lose this no? Less than 24 hours since last game so no time to review any vods in depth + KC arguably have a better map pool

Both teams will most likely make playoff but KC definitely have the upper hand seems like a 55-KC and 45-SEN

Fr more teams from every region need to find their own playstyle and what suits them
