Bangnan also farming

I don't get how ONS can steamroll DK and DRX, yet continue to drop maps to T3 teams
Hopefully they are just saving strats now since they already are qualified...

Already only 10% of pickems are correct, how many other people predicted ONIC G would win?

Monyet reminds me of Bunny, he’s one of my new favorite players to watch

BBL vs G2 is going to get some insane viewership

1) Thailand 🇹🇭
2) Malaysia and Singapore 🇲🇾🇸🇬
3) Philippines 🇵🇭
4) Indonesia 🇮🇩
5) South Asia 🇮🇳
6) Vietnam 🇻🇳
7) Hong Kong and Taiwan 🇭🇰🇹🇼

PS: I don’t know where to put OCE yet and if I were to add in East Asia, I’d probably put KR at 1-2, JP above SA, and CN around VN

I expect ID to improve a lot this APAC Challengers since all three of their teams are stacked, but for now, I’m putting them at #4

Would be cool to see an all Japanese roster win too, since the majority of the major teams are carried by Russians or Koreans

I think JP = SA since Northeption did really good in the APAC LCQ

It would be cool to see ONS go to Masters

Lakia

Chronicle

Personally, I think Takej (JP) and stax (KR) have the best aim in their regions respectively

Happy birthday bro <3

Myth’s First Strike watch party

GE 2-0 Lets Go Skrossi. Lets Go India.

(only real ones remember where this one is from)

ec1s is already back in EU, so I doubt the rumor of him going to Gen.G is true

Really? Most of the foreigners I saw didn’t even know which players were on the team until they beat DRX

NAVI, ONS

Honestly I think this new meta buffs NA and BR more than EMEA, since they can now turn their brains off with fast exacts and run the double duelist comps they were running before

KR - BuZz

It's never going to come out bro, we've been waiting over three years. At this point I'm not even sure if Team Cherry are alive :(

W post :)
The only player I would add to the list is Bazzi, since he absolutely farmed DRX after everyone was calling him the weak link of the team

Why are OpTic so bad at getting on the bomb? Like dude, they'd win like 2-3 more rounds if someone at least tapped the spike earlier

Fun Fact: Over 100t’s past 4 games on Split, they’ve only won a total of 9 rounds on attack

Group B

Group A is just C9 and TGrd dominating other teams

They were overrated af in Champions, but they were legitimately probably a top 4 team in Berlin

They shit on Acend, were the only team to take a map off of Gambit in the playoffs, and most likely would’ve been top 4 had they been seeded where G2 was

TNL got screwed over by the shit format :(

Yeah, me too. They always seem to start tourneys slow though, so there’s a good chance they pop off in playoffs

You’re really trying your best to still call KR a ‘one team region’

DRX and ONS are both clearly T1 teams. Even DK, although a little lackluster so far, has a high enough skill ceiling to reach that level in playoffs as well

Another day another bait, Enigma called up a meeting to disscuss how Issax posts are too cringe for the mods, all the staff members voted to permaban Issax, Issax gave a smirk and threw some papers on the table , Enigma got stressed as he saw it was private documents of his now former romantic relationship with Purest. He then slowly approached Issax and hugged him , Issax whispered "L + Ratio."

You're like the trembolona of KR

I think it helps that's he's speaking his mother tongue as well. I'm not sure how good his Japanese was, but I can't imagine previous CR comms being clean.

Do we finally have a 2nd tier one team?

SHK > FUR > NiP > VK > SHK

Group B is weird

LMAO

I'm a DRX fan, but I hope ONS can at least put up a fight

Idc about the rest of this list, but putting BR above SEA even though both SEA teams 2-0’d BR teams is just wrong. I think they could be the third best region in Reykjavik (LOUD and NiP look good), but until one of their teams makes it out of groups, people need to stop overrating the region

RIG's stat line :O

I forgot how good eKo and Foxy were

Nah dude, I know how good Thai teams can be (could be the best country in Asia) but I think you’re overestimating the scene. Xerxia destroyed FS and 13-0’d Mith, the two other best teams in the region.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the NV vs X10 incredibly close? I wouldn’t consider that getting the hell beat out of them.

True, after some careful reconsideration, I can guarantee you that Bonkars would 26-0 NA's top five teams

To each their own ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Personally I don’t see a teams like BOOM and Mith beating TGrd or OpTic though, but I guess you can never know for sure until they actually meet.
I will say though that I believe opinions like yours are heavily recency biased

Yes dude, they are a major region. You pin the top 10-12 teams from NA vs LATAM/SEA and I’m 95% sure NA wins overall. Maybe their best team isn’t as good as say the best team from LATAM, but the region as a whole is much better.

Saya popped off on Icebox

Say TSM played 100 pistol rounds against TGrd, how many do you think they get?

Fun Fact: The Guard have not lost a single Haven since adding Trent to the roster

‘Stay Mad’

Bro… if Sentinels somehow make it to Reykjavik, which I highly doubt will happen, they are going to get smoked by nearly every international team they face. I mean did you see how terrible their executes looked today?

Wait, so BBG disbanded after losing Bang and KCP disbanded after loaning Jcstani?
100 Thieves are becoming the G2 of NA

The Spanish VRL is the most hype for me because, don’t take this the wrong way, but no Spanish teams qualified for the EU Challengers, meaning that we get to watch all of the region’s best teams duke it out. Compare this to something like the North or CIS region, who already have 3-4 teams each in Challengers, making the VRLs for those regions a lot more barren.

The casters and watch parties also seem really entertaining, even though I can’t understand a word of what they’re saying

X10 dogshit org, thank God Xerxia beat them
