Map 1: 14/18/5
Map2: 23/12/4
Map 3: 18/11/7

I am Groot

Yay not a shit teammate, he just isn’t a great one who can lift morale when things aren’t going well (like Zellsis or someone)

Comp way too one-dimensional for the first game, was too hard to adapt, would have much rather preferred a force onto sage/Chamber than onto Phoenix at this stage

If derrek shoots back map 1, we on Lotus now, just give time, no excuses yet except DGZN went off.

Let roster gel before replacing someone.

IMO: Keep yay, Supa, and Nature all year no matter what.

EG couldn’t adapt, maybe lack of experience together, but idk

imma watch skeleton crew until I want to pay attention (NAVI vs KC)

he's there 2

since we got Ruxic, I'm coping Shao will go back to hard-carry Fade
also just got back Fracture AND Pearl (best 2 maps in 2023 IMO)

Vitality, but trust the rest of the bracket:

EG Nature Day 1

would say EG, but already said, so FPX

EG / NAVI (or Gentle Mates)/ Talon (or maybe BOOM, idk, haven’t watch enough)/ and FPX

I’m sadly still a Marvel fan, so no matter how bad it is, I’ve seen it (except for last episode or 2 of She Hulk, that was just too bad to not look up a summary)

Sova dart or Kayo knife

FPX vs Heretics Icebox

Thoughts post-movie?

Just do something with the GOAT yay

valid except Nature, he does so much that goes unseen that its ok he is not top fragging (no disrespect to valyn or any other fragging IGL). He could definitely lead a team to champs if the rest of the team works well enough together.

My GOAT is FINALLY FREE 😭

Hot Take:
FPX deserves to be in this conversation:
Only lost to EDG in Bo5's domestically (and only lost other games after they were guaranteed to Champs)
At Madrid lost to 2 of the top 4 teams from Kickoffs in close games after a terrible travel experience.
Only lost to the 2 finalists at Shanghai
Lost to 2 of the top 4 teams at Champs in the Group of Death

let me get this right, you are concerned because a guy on Vyse mostly with some Cypher and Astra got less assists than a guy playing pocket KAYO for Oxy?

yay is still there, trust
source: Nature

We should make it happen, would be so much fun

Mitch came in and was like “get this random guy out of my team” on day two…
Only at C9
What does this mean for C9?

i can hear the Jaws music already, NRG...

With all the people applying, vlr NA could make our own league

doesnt matter what NRG do, BiliBili WILL find them

Brazil fans are not ready for this EG, trust me 🤫

Aim: Demon1
Movement: Jawgemo
Brain: Nature
Utility: Shao
Agent pool: RB
Leadership: Ange1 (only because I like Nature’s brain even more and I don’t just want to repeat FNS
Character: ARDIS

Perfect Info Initiator:
Aim: Riens
Movement: AAAAY
Brain: Chronicle
Util: Shao
Agent Pool: Crashies (2nd in a lot of other categories, so he gets this spot)
Leadership: Lakia
Clutch: Derrek
Character: my GOAT c0m (too funny to take any other spot)

yup, OG Reformed + Apoth roster, had to root for OpTic @ internationals,, but EG were always my fav

yay doesn't like then so i dont like them

c0m was my EG 2022 GOAT, so I might be biased, but no, he is underrated

My NA GOAT

credit to Apeks for taking a chance on her instead of recycling old talent like some other teams...

just wait for one thats not a vandal then (like the odin or ghost)...

You don’t always have to see people with your util for it to be good. If you drone out all of elbow on Sunset, you know their site hold is probably pretty weak. Also, a lot of the value from your util won’t be kills for you, most of the value from Sova drone and Skye dog come from the person following it. Then again, you can still carry on most initiators, but in my opinion, Fade is the easiest to do such with.

FNS, but not Wonder of Gamesense…

I thought the same thing

me too :<

He's only upset cause it happened to him

I mean.... he got kinda close...

It’s hard because a lot of the players they could’ve gotten have already signed to other teams (haudong, yosemite) and a bunch more players have resigned (like FPX). At this point, they would have to pay big buyouts for players like Knight or Biank, otherwise they have to wait and try to rebuild during Toronto

fluke tournament because its single elim, beat a TS who almost went out in groups to NIP and Gambit, and Liquid, who is Liquid...
Fair play to beat Gambit in the finals, but at the end of the day, they had to win 3 games in playoffs and only one against a good team (Gambit)
Once they got momentum in groups, they had an easy road to finals, and barely beat an underperforming Gambit.

I’ll try to add some more (underated ones)
Kingg, spaz, supamren, Shao, Grubinho, s0m
C0m, Ethan, Verno, Stax, Trexx, Derrek, Aaay, Biank, Qraxs, Cloud, eeiu
yay, Vookashu, Autumn, Sheydos, Boostio, yetajay, Tex, Elite, Suygetzu, leaf
Jawgemo, Demon1, Qwi, Pa1nt, Reduxx
Rb, Kadavra, natank, MrFallen, Govenor, Mazino, JonahP, Artzin
(For fun): Ange1, FNS, Ardis, crashes, victor, zekken

Masters Buenos Aires (or Mexico City)
Masters Stockholm (Could also be London or even Rejkavik for 5th anniversary, which is my preference)
Champs Beijing or Chongqing (don’t think back to Shanghai and China would be furious with Hong Kong/Taiwan)

Almost guaranteed no Pacific region event in 2026 as it will have been the only region to host an event every year of franchising so far. Will prob evolve into ‘27 no EMEA, 28’ no China, 29 no Americas and 30 no Pacific or something like that…

Wasn't there 1 in the show who got abandoned like 4-5 times?
If so, that one
