1.4 million

viewership honestly depends on how far Sentinel's run goes

Pretty good, might actually consider watching the rest on Netflix

Wish all episodes were premiered live though

Was looking through the participants in the next NSG Winter tournaments and it says that the LATAM team 'Border Monsters' is playing in the event

Personally, I'm for it, because it would be really cool to see teams like Infinity, Six Karma, and Lazer play in these events
I'm just not sure if this is technically allowed, since the only countries allowed to participate are the US, Canada, and Mexico

(Btw, I checked the roster and they don't have a Mexican player, so unless they are bootcamping, I don't think they can be registered)

Go back 10 months and sign entire Moon Racoons roster + potter (as a coach)
Eventually replace FIEND with Boostio/Thief and Rebo with stellar

Team:
ALEKSANDER
Temperature
Pr0phie
Stellar
Boostio/Thief

DK

Lmao, I always read it as circo until now

I’m just bad with names tbh ;< (reason why i didn't make these lists before)

<3

1) Setsuza
2) Noyn
3) Asphyxia
4) Hiyo
5) ShadowisBAD
6) Netero
7) Supernova
8) Astralis_6_majors
9) Ciro
10) number_1_bjor_fan

Not in order btw cause i made the list rn
edit: (no proof that I was ever dyslexic)

Ur one of my favorites :)

Facts, I remember watching Critical play one of those 1v1 tournaments on stream and Sova was insanely good

Most pros VOD review themselves to learn from their mistakes

But I think I might get what u were trying to say, that being which pro is the most egotistical

was going to ask 'u okay man?' but than I realized you just lost $400 cash...
sadge

Why are you carrying $400 in your wallet though
It's 2021, just use a card or your phone instead

WE ARE BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL YOUR NAME :<<<<

Any rumors of INTZ entering or Red Canids returning to the scene?

SETSUZA or Noyn
hekzy also is good when he is drunk

you're my favorite spike rush player

I think a lot of people like LG
They just aren’t notable enough for people to dedicate their flair to them though

It’s only a bo5 if the teams each win their own map pick, their “home ground”

If a team wins both their map pick and the other teams map pick, they automatically win the series 2-0

If I’m not mistaken, I don’t think it can be a 3-0 since it’s like the previous homegrounds
Would have to be a 2-0 instead

Who do you think Gen.G should pickup during the off season?

Like you said, GMD and Nature are definitely some of the best support players in NA, but I still don't see Gen.G, in its current state, being top 5 team. Maybe new talent could elevate the team enough for them to qualify for LANS?

True, T1 are already a fan favorite in NA and they might as well keep their roster, seeing as they've already sunk so much money into it

Just showing reasons why they could think about hopping regions, especially with franchising potentially being more expensive in NA

Both T1 and Gen.G haven't really achieved much in NA so far:
Gen.G - Consistently a top 8 team; however, not much more (never really saw them qualifying for LANS)
T1 - have spent millions in NA yet still have an unsuccessful roster

These orgs might technically have a better team in NA/EU, but at the end of the day, it's a business

What they really want is to make it to that international stage in order to be viewed by as many people as possible (for sponsors)
It's a lot easier to make it to said world stage when you are only competing against 2-4 good teams, rather than 12-16 in the NA/EU scene

With NiP looking towards building a roster in Brazil, do we think that other EU/NA orgs will potentially swap to less competitive regions in order to get a better chance of qualifying for big events like Masters/Champions?

Examples:
Gen.G --> KR
IMT --> BR (mibr)
T1 --> KR
FPX --> CN
RNG --> OCE
TSM --> JP/BR/India (just imagine)

might be time for an IGL change tbh

this post hit a nerve

dude even said that JP shouldn't have a slot (he 100% didn't watch the LCQ or the CR vs Gambit game)

You didn't rate Fnatic or Acend

As well, idc if you believe that Liquid are better than VS, but putting VS in B tier with the argument that they haven't proven anything yet while Liquid are in A tier who quote "Look strong, still need to prove themselves internationally" is contradictory

Also if 2-0ing Acend (13-7, 13-9) and taking a map of the best team in the world isn't proving something, I don't know what is

Second Strike

Not the two players I expected to get dropped 🤔
Maybe they are going to DK along with Esperanza

FS vs any team (other than X10/TS) should be an interesting match imo

If SEN don’t step up their game for Champions, I could 100% see Liquid beating them in Quarterfinals

Brazil vs 1leaf
Just want to see what Twitter looks like after the match

What are your guys’ most anticipated Champion’s matchups?

Mine:
C9 vs Liquid
C9 vs Furia
VS vs Gambit
CR vs Gambit

1.2M would be my guess

They are back!
LFG I need Girlfriend

You know pools and groups aren’t the same thing, right?

True, but you could assign seeds 1-4 for each group

examples:

Pool A:
Master's 3 Winner - 1
EMEA 1 - 2
EMEA 2 - 3
EMEA LCQ - 4

Pool B:
NA 1 - 1
KR 1 - 2
NA 2 - 3
NA LCQ - 4

Groups would then only have one of each seed
Pools make it so we don't get something like NA vs NA and seeds make it so we don't get something like Master's 3 Winner vs NA 1

Personally, I'd rather see Riot do pools like this since it makes sure we get actual international play (unlike putting SMB and ACE in the same group)

Pool A:
Master’s 3 Winner
EMEA 1
EMEA 2
EMEA LCQ

Pool B:
NA 1
KR 1
NA 2
NA LCQ

Pool C:
BR 1
LATAM 1
BR 2
SA LCQ

Pool D:
SEA 1
JP 1
SEA 2
APAC LCQ

made the template with C9 before the match even ended ;)

Now that the NA LCQ is over, we can finally make a tierlist with all 16 teams:

Btw, you can either upload with lightshot/imgur or log in to save your tierlist

Really excited to see C9’s “best” map finally get played
#C9WIN

If Cned gets suspended before Champions, ACE legitimately might not make it out of groups

It's not fun watching my favorite teams play against 100T
They're too good at comebacks

Full Sense are from Thailand, not OCE

son of steel, IQ of over 9000

wtf was that round, lmao

Are GL even considered T1 in BR anymore?

xeta played really well though?

bruh

they haven't even closed out map 1 yet bro...
