Yeah, but playing a rematch against OPTIC or FPX/DRX with all the momentum will still be tough

It’s not over till it’s over

Makes sense than, DRX are pretty even when it comes to kill distribution. K/D is a pretty bad stat to look at though when rating players for something like this though, idk why he didn't choose to use KAST or ACS instead

How are DRX even still in the tournament with only one player in the list lmao, guess teamwork really is the dream work
I don't know what the rating is based off of but surely BuZz would make a list of off nearly any other category

Guess ZmjjKK and Will are top five players now too ¯_(ツ)_/¯

On DK I would replace Rb with Sylvan cause the roles of Rb/t3xture/Meteor overlap too much and exy with JoXJo since he can IGL and has good synergy with Meteor. No offense to solo, but I think picking up Bail would also benefit the team greatly

being literate is a curse holy shit

You should be happy that league is successful, since Valorant was and may still be largely funded off of its revenue. Valorant is not even close to leagues popularity yet, I mean the LCK alone gets more viewership then Champions, so don’t expect them to get the same treatment immediately

Tyranitar
Arcanine
Hydreigon
Volcarona
Darmanitan

Gen 5 was mad underrated when it came to designs

6 SEA slots and 2 for EA? That’s not ideal, they’d just be killing the East Asian scene for T2 regions that don’t even have a competitive scene (VN, HK/TW)

That’s what you would think but Plat Chat still somehow manage to mess up :|

1-4. OPTIC
1-4. LOUD
1-4. DRX
1-4. FPX

5. XSET
6. FNC
7. LEV
8. TL
9. PRX
10. 100T

Thoughts?

yay wins but Meteor still diffs 95% of pro players

Yes! That’s exactly why EMEA still has all three teams in Champions left! Wait…

bro was not around for the Astra+Viper postplant meta

FPX vs DRX has actually become a pretty fun rivalry this year

4/4 in OT wins and top 4 secured but mfs still hold on to the choke narrative

KR 🤝 BR

Only beef we've ever had was just hate spread by that crybaby dude

He’s a hardcore EMEA fanboy fake flagging, not Korean

Loud and DRX can’t beat Optic
Maybe it’ll get broken this event…

Money came in between the first half on Breeze copium

PLEASE JUST BUY METEOR DRX

these matches would be a lot more winnable if DRX weren’t currently 0-6 in pistol rounds

yes, i want to see Meteor on the team but obviously I'd still support them no matter what

Doubtful, I'd be surprised to see them even beat FNC, a team that they should in theory be better than

:(

1. Predicting DRX to make it past 5-6th in Istanbul
2. Predicting DRX to make it past 5-6th in Copenhagen
3. Predicting DRX to make it past 5-6th in Reykjavik

I guarantee you this happens, no way Loud lose for a 4th time in a row against OpTic, FPX has a rematch if XSET drop to lowers, and FNC gets to play a lower bracket DRX

Probably an FPX vs Loud GF

Actually maybe a 2-3, Stax seems like his mental is fine but Zest seems pretty boomed just based off what he posted on Twitter

Facts, it’s almost as if a team can improve or just be better in one meta and worse in another…

1 - DRX can’t win a lower bracket match, I’ve said it before but they’ll only win a tournament if they go through the uppers flawlessly

9-3 curse =(

I think DRX have a decent advantage when it comes to map pool since they're yet to even reveal their Icebox, Bind, or Pearl this event. Even if their Pearl and Icebox are dogwater, it's the lingering thought that they might be prepared on those maps that could mess with Loud's decisions.

1. M3 Berlin
2. Champs Istanbul
3. M2 Reykjavik
4. M1 Reykjavik
5. M2 Copenhagen
6. Champs Berlin

The 2nd one is what I think will happen too

Loud ban Haven
DRX ban Ascent
Loud pick Icebox
DRX pick Fracture
Loud ban Pearl
DRX ban Bind
Breeze remains

The only thing that could change this is whether or not teams will take the risk of not banning Pearl immediatly

Do you guys still think he's a top ten player like everyone said before Champions? Personally, I feel like his performance was kind of underwhelming this event

KR (no DRX):
Xeta (Initiator)
Sayaplayer (Duelist)
Meteor (Chamber)
Sylvan (Smokes)
JoXJo (IGL/Flex)

Both teams just happy to not be facing OPTIC lmao

that's why so many fans think adding Meteor would make this team unstoppable

LEV and TL

1-8

+Tarik
+zombs
+Hiko
+Wardell
+Sinatraa

yay go kill
Cryo go kill

I'm praying that he gets everything else right

dude needs to start betting

Bro has gotten only one prediction wrong and is 4/4 in playoffs

Almost lost is a massive overstatement when all three matches were 2-0’s, plus the 2nd map being a blowout for the most part in all series

It’s going to be a great match!
