That's actually more than accurate. xD

16 years old and that dude is destroying veterans.

Leo destroyed them in the last match and had alone 9:2 kills against N4RRATE and 6:1 against marteen. Will be super tough without him. Also KC def. wants revenge.

Hard to predict. When Fnatic will be focussed and when Alfajer is online, they win this. Otherwise probably 2-1 or even 2-0 for KC.

NAVI got smashed by TH, what happened to teams with much better momentum in Shanghai.

They are better than people say. It's still SUYGETSU, Shao, Zyppan and ardiis. They won a major before and I'm very sure that they currently have the usual "not hungry enough anymore" issues and not heavy skill issues.

I say NAVI wins this. GX looked actually bad against KOI (only purp0 and Cloud showed some nice maps recently).

*Edit: Okay, nc.

vo0kashu was insane on Haven!

Great job, DRG!

Quote Alfajer: "Hello, Hello!"

All we need to know is that t3xture said Wo0t is the most talented player. That's the only one who needed to say this.

For me:

• Heretics
• Paper Rex
• GENG
• Sentinels

For you?

FUT beat aspas & LEV 13-1 on Sunset in Shanghai and yet people wonder why this is close. xD

Probably the 2 best Sunset teams facing right now. Crazy intense.

Current FNC matches are like a lottery.

• no Leo
• last match was not very convincing when it comes to the "hunger" of the team
• hiro as a new player wants to prove himself and he's a great talent for sure

And yeah, Vitality look better and better. Sayf is a beast anyways.

When Fnatic plays like in the Split 1 finals against Heretics or in the 2nd match against KC and Alfajer actually hitting like Alfajer and the rest of the team playing a solid performance, they will win this. But when it's all a bit wobbly like against BBL or in Shanghai, VIT will do it.

*Edit: See. Alfajer hit on 2 maps very well and that was super important. ;) Good. But still not on their usual level for sure.

There are a few players in DACH that are absolute VCT ready for a long time now. elllement, al0rante, Click, Lime, Fizzy, Lewis, DaviH... and players like Magnus and Felix are on a good way. Filu was also more than ready, but he just went to another Challengers league.

I hope so much that FKS will win Ascension, but even if not - it's time that at least a DACH player gets signed for an updated VCT roster of a team like KOI, GX or whatever.

But yeah, this FOKUS team will get better and better. Just look up the OFFSEASON 2023 - it was the same roster, but with Fizzy instead of bucher and that team beat the current Heretics mega roster with Wo0t etc. So I'm very sure that this team can become a massive thread in Ascension for APEKS, Acend, GoNext, DSYRE, SuperMassive, FireFlux etc.

Jemkin will go crazy again.

Wow... that was a heated match.

al0rante shows he's healthy again. Last match and this one = total carry!

As much as I like Sentinels, NRG immediately look so much better with FNS and s0m. Ethan now can also solve his stuff much better when he's not in the need to do IGLing.

And what we saw already with MiniBoo against NAVI... Neon now is truly insane. Victor is ruling with that agent.

If NRG stays like this, we maybe look up to a new NA talent team next year when N4RRATE returns to NA, teams want him for sure and even if Oxygen won't win Ascension, teams want Verno without a doubt. So maybe Demon1, N4RRATE, Verno... xD I guess something will come.

Let's go tex! :)

wedid <3

NAVI is so done for now. They look like they have no serious comms. Standing somewhere in the rain, dying to ATAKAPTANs lurks or cNeds pushes.

Why is there no VCT China with English commentators yet? 8213 different channels on different platforms, but all in Chinese. They shouldn't be surprised that still much less people are watching it compared to the other leagues if they can't afford 1-2 people live commenting VCT China matches in English.

TenZ won 2 majors and is still playing on a high level - he set marks in older majors. Chronicle for sure, too.

That's fair. I was just so surprised during Split 1 how casually he just goes to Sentinel and then Initiator and then Controller and always top plays for VIT. Jett, Neon, Killjoy, Cypher, Viper, Omen, Gekko...

Sayf is like the EU f0rsakeN... he can play literally every agent on a very high level and calls IGL alike (even though ceNder is IGL). Always awesome to see him rock.

trexx also finally has a nice team where he can shine much more.

Coughing Pneumonia Baby vs. Coughing Acute Bronchitis Baby

:(

He's 18. t3xture just said Wo0t is the most talented player he ever met. So I'd say he is on the way to become an absolute GOAT, but yeah... it takes more than 1 major. Leo, aspas and TenZ are probably the biggest GOATs at the moment still playing.

Wo0t.exe

What a tough game. Derke so damn good, hiro great first match on stage. But still always fun against BBL, because the teams know each other and are teasing each other during the match.

Super important win for their moral.

al0 x Astra x Split = mega

Wishing the 🐐 all the best. His recent health problems which you could even see when they had to carry him off the stage against TH and which were adressed several times during Fnatics stay in Shanghai were actually a bit alarming. Leo is without any doubt one of the Top 3 overall players since the introduction of VCT, but what actually matters is that a recently turned 20 years old young man is able to be 100% healthy again.

Can't wait to see him back on stage with the boys.

Niiice!
LOUD comeback incoming.

Where? EMEA was busy destroying Americas.

Sorry, but it's just so cringe after getting destroyed by these dudes to start yapping again. GENG is currently without a doubt the best team in the world. Wo0t f.e. played his first international event - dude just got 18 and is statswise by far the best player of the tournament. Players like t3xture or Lakia are much more experienced, it's no shame to lose 2-3 against these dudes.

GENG deserve this and they wrote history with the first Pacific major. But people like you are not happy when they can't write nonsense.

MiniBoo already said he can play Flex and Wo0t can go full Jett / Raze. So MiniBoo gets his buffed Neon and can also shine with KAY/O. But in the end Wo0t is also a Flex player, so they will figure something out. Def. makes sense to give MiniBoo Neon and KAY/O.

I still remember CGRS clutch against s0m.
💀

Since game sense and experience does a lot, I think we can only talk about pure mechnaical abilities and instinct / muscle memory here.

By mechanical abilities / pure and raw aim, Wo0t is def. one of the best players in VCT at the moment. Just check out some of his replays of this major. He is so damn aggressive, yet so accurate. It's a bit like a mix out of something and t3xture by the style. Yesterday he had 14:3 FK:FD ratio against 100T, which is insane. You can still tell, that he could be EVEN crazier when he get's the needed experience.

For real now. What is Wo0t drinking? Check that dude for doping. xDDD Bro is not normal anymore.

Wo0t is a monster.

Icy made a big step. You can clearly see his improvement.

Bro, I think you take it a bit too serious. I think most VLR users just love to troll. No man with a clear mind actually hates a region. Sometimes it's funny to bait and have a laughter.

100T will win this major. 90% sure about that.

Even though I'm a FNC supporter, seeing 100T and G2 this year makes me feel no position really matters. NA is crazy strong this year and it almost feels like they have a heavier will to win. Shoutouts to their work ethics. Impressive how players like icy improved.

Still I obviously hope FNC will do well, but seeing Paper Rex today was a bit tough.

Yeah, very true. I almost smashed my keyboard today.

VCT is 4 years old. But yeah, NA is strong for sure.

I just ate a Vanilla pudding. Was mediocre.

I'm 100% sure that Boostio must be the best IGL beside f0rsakeN and Boaster. His dedication is nl and is trash talk is funny af. xD

butschaaa!

Click doing Click things.

Wo0t is going on?

yetujey = Monster.

I don't know what would happen if Alfajer, Wo0t and yetujey would play in one team. xD
