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

If yay leaves, it’s over…

bro is ADDICTED to attention

-Someone who has also spent way too much money on val

Does it go up if I buy Spectrum Classic in my shop?

EG classic with Bleed Classic as the backup...

It seems like you're struggling for impact
On defense, you seem stuck in 1 and dones, or you are stuck retaking in a 2v4
On attack, you seem like you struggle to find impact, you trip flank and then just go with the team, lurking more often may help you find this impact, but then you have to be able to live once you get the first or be so annoying that you waste too much time for the other team to win.
This is likely why you have a 100% win rate on fade, it is much easier to find attack value on agents like fade or KAYO

It seems like the only agent you are great at in ranked is iso, likely meaning that you overheat quite a bit, which is fine on Iso, but on people like Omen, its not great. I also am pretty sure this is the case based on how many deaths you average per game. Your aim is good, but your teammates may not be, so getting yours and playing numbers (to win the round) might be better than pushing for a second and thinking that only you can win every round by killing 5. This should help you at least up your round win percentages, but may not be as flashy. However, there is no way for me to actually know this without seeing how you actually play, but its probably either overheat, or baiting teammates.

Keep Nature, yay, supamen
Add any of the duelists linked (Victor, Okeanos, Seven)
Decide whether to keep Derrek and make him stop throwing, or bring in someone like Brawk, Crashies, or even POISED and keep Nature IGL for now

imagine this team if we let yay play chamber

Pearl please

...

and yay will still dif him

YAY, DERREK is about to run over Sentinels like SUPAMEN with the power of NATURE on his side, I sure hope that this game is real and not just a SYM meant to hype up EG fans... #LIVEEVIL

And I am contractually obligated to support my GOATs Nature and yay, so we will see what happens...
