Bruh, this is crazy. ScreaM was a legit ass igl, bro ran triple inti no duelist haven. At least VIT is at least decent with Sayf igl.

Nah you're not getting this far being all aim, besides T1 doesn't have anyone going crazy at the moment. At this stage every team is just good. It comes down to map pool and game day form.

Aint no way people deadass want Breeze and Icebox back in the map pool lol

I mean, if you've watched the games you'd know the level of play is pretty good. G2 was lowkey cooking in their game today.

Nah it's just there's not one clear of everyone else. Like it's really just a game of who turns up more on a given day.

I tried the first day but I couldn't fall asleep, so I just started staying up for it and it wasn't worth it lol.

pl - plants
de - defuses
econ - economy rating

I'd say 2, depth is the best indicator of how good a region really is.

I mean you just gotta let your mind go to legit anywhere even if it's dumb. A lot of creativity is just your mind wandering. Just don't put boundaries on what you can think and don't worry if something is wrong or dumb.

For example, just ask yourself what if ____? Then fill in the blank with whatever comes to your mind no hesitation. It's shit like that, that should help.

Win the next 2 games

EDG 2-1 TL
SEN 2-1 DRX

DRX is good, they got some shooters fs, but SEN does as well. SEN has the advantage in experience and mental. I think it comes down to what form SEN are in and if Hyunmin/free1ng can perform at Bangkok. I think SEN takes it though, but both teams have a good chance.

Yeah that's why I said there's always a time zone that gets shafted. EMEA times work best for me personally though.

I don't mind it, I just wish the games were a little later. Like at 4 and 7 am at least it's a reasonable time to get up for the second game. There's always going to be some time zone that's gonna get shafted though, so it's fine.

2AM and 5AM lol

Honestly, my aim improved a decent amount in part from dming a lot. It does help if you actually try to work on specific aspects of your mechanics.

It's hype if you've been watching the games. The tournament is stacked and should be a lot of fun.

very close game if buzz and meteor wake up i think 2-1 but they have trexx sayf less derke and even kicks fragging sooo...

fixed it for you

I'm gonna say something outrageous but lowkey 100T

VIT or G2 seem to be most people's favorites, but I think SEN and DRX have a good shot each. EDG getting underrated because of recency bias, and T1 hasn't played amazing but could turn up. I think it's unlikely TE or TL win based on how stacked the tournament is, but both teams could win if they come in really good form.

In a tournament like this, it's less so about which team is better, but rather about which teams are in better form. VIT/G2/SEN all seem locked in right now to the point I feel like it's unlikely any of them don't play well. I do think a lot comes down to how well EDG and T1 play because that could really shake things up, but DRX seems like the next pick.

If I had to bet on a winner, I'd actually go SEN because they have only been getting better and Narrate hasn't really popped off yet. My dark horse would be T1 simply because they have insane players and if they can figure out some stuff, they could be dangerous.

I run 1200 and I think it works well, but nah I haven't experienced shakiness differences.

I've been to Champs LA, and Masters Madrid. It's really fun experience if you get the chance and can afford it, especially if you see teams you like. Also, EDG fans travel well, and they have pretty good energy, at least from my experience. That EDG vs Giants first game from Champs LA, was crazy watching live.

Nah like it's great for gyen, and DFM, but PRX was just a massive letdown.

Not as cooked as me bro I was up at 5 am watching my favorite team get dogged on by DFM.

Not that my aim is that good, but my aim has improved a lot by dming and practicing in the range. Something that helped a lot for me, was forcing myself to practice movement and burst/tapping instead of crouch spraying with the vandal in dms. I also dm with the guardian/sheriff sometimes, which helps with my crosshair placement. I usually just dm once or twice before going into comp, but after I dm more if I feel like practicing.

TDM is probably better overall because the fights are more accurate to the fights in comp, but regular DM is good for practicing specific things and figuring out shit about your sens.

The Skye flash one was kinda valid, but now given how diverse the meta is, they should bring back the recharge. Viper and kayo ones are also valid.

Mathematically assuming every game was a 50/50, it'd be like 6.25% each. That being said, it's probably more like 10-15% each.

Honestly, the worst part of it is just games are incredibly hit or miss for me. I don't mind being bad if the games are fun. Whiffing can be funny a lot of the time, but some games it's just hard to be light-hearted.

American higher education is good if you can afford it, but high school and below it's fucking ass. I hate our education system so much.

It's really not a matter of who was the better player, but who fit better in SEN. Zellsis on SEN just works, but pancada is still good.

As a prime guardian owner, that skin is fucking amazing. The headshots are so crisp with that skin.

Assuming Tejo is available

There haven't been many super teams at all, let alone ones that failed. Also, it's not like VIT just grabbed five random insane players. They still have three of their core from last year, and Derke/Less are both very experienced players.

That's fair, but it's not that crazy to think they'll be good early.

Tbf it's not a year/season prediction. It's just as of right now who are the most likely best/worst teams going into kickoff.

All Ima say is, FNC Tokyo is mad overrated. In a tournament like this, they're not even top 5. EG, GENG, EDG, LOUD, and Optic all clear.

Kaplan - $3

Mako - $4
trexx - $2
kingg - $2
forsaken - $4
aspas - $5

That's not necessarily true, you can be decent on a few agents but really good on one specific agent or two. Most players probably go into games with an agent they'd prefer to play if it works in the comp, but sometimes you just want to cover all the needs. On some level, it's probably true that it doesn't matter that much, but it's just easier to assume it does.

I disagree, if you're able to frag on other agents than your main, you could flex. It's not that hard to learn agents at a decent level for most ranks. If you're really worried about flashing your team, Sova, Fade, and Gekko exist. KJ and Cypher can get value very easily once you have even one good setup. Clove and Omen allow for both smokes and aggressive play if needed. You don't have to learn every agent in the game, but this is just a cop-out to avoid actually learning other agents and picking good team comps.

It probably doesn't matter in most games in low rank anyway, but the games suck partly due to how bad the comps are. I get double senti all the time in my ranked games, and it sucks for trying to take site.

They aren't though, it's 3 Zeta academy and 2 Zeta GC players.

Nah the offseason does matter but it doesn't mean everything. A lot can change between now and the start of the season, but it does give teams extra practice.

Yoman is really good tbh. He's a lot better than Lakia in terms of fragging potential.

If we're going off straight-up aim, it's gotta be PRX, but if we're also factoring in game sense then I'd say SEN. Tbh, it's close at the top, there are a lot of teams with very good firepower.

Raze most likely

Yeah Lakia has good util but yoman has way more fragging potential

I never said he wasn't good. All I said was yoman is better.

yoman is better than Lakia be fr

mindfreak lurks a lot so that probably explains it
