all the perfects have sen winning today, so if they lose, rip

Also, looking more specifically, I don't think NRG, Fnatic or Navi would have qualified in a double elim format. Fnatic just did not innovate while KC and Heretics had excellent ideas and anti-strats. NRG look solid, but I feel they needed more time to flesh out their ideas. I think Navi would just get skilled diffed by KC and Heretics. DRX would have prob lost to Gen G or at least won't be playing as well so I think that point is moot too. No EG is valid though along with Loud and Prx taking a downgrade

I think this is very fair. However, what you are missing is that the first tournament of the year will always be of a lower quality than champs. The meta and map pool have all been reset, so it is natural that teams are playing worse than Champs 23. Also, players are just always rusty towards the beginning even if they are scrimming non-stop. I think what is impressive is Sen's read on the meta, set ideas, anti-strats, and calling all of which are factors that other winning teams have had and relied on.

Tbh i didn't know that but his last name is very common Indian last name and has roots in Sanskrit/hinduism. My point being that he is so close to being ethnically Indian I doubt his comments are derived from hatefulness towards Indians.

Y'all know that Ominous is Indian right?

posted 9 months ago

Yeah this the rule. It's random otherwise. Since Lev/Sen are likely to win play-in. Loud would only have two possible opponents: NRG or G2/EG giving them a 50/50 chance of playing NRG in the semifinals.

posted 9 months ago

Pretty decent chance LOUD and NRG play in the semifinals against each other especially since Sen/Lev are likely to win play-in

G2?

posted 9 months ago

I listed group c first given how they have the #1 seed. Sorry for the confusion

posted 10 months ago

Based on what Riot said today, I think the seeding will look like this:

C: 1, 6, 9, x
B: 2, 5, 8, 11
A: 3, 4, 7, 10

I know what this disagrees with VLR but it makes more sense for EG (or the other #1 teams) get a bye over an imaginary 12th seed team and seed the rest of the groups normally.

I made this ranking for Americas that is objective except for C9/LEV:

  1. EG
  2. LOUD
  3. NRG
  4. KRU
  5. LEV
  6. C9
  7. SEN
  8. FURIA
  9. 100T
  10. MIBR
  11. G2

Using these, we get these groups:

C: EG, C9, 100T
B: LOUD, LEV, FURIA G2
A: NRG, KRU, SEN, MIBR

What do y'all think?

tbh, i dont think he wants to join, he would make more with content creation given c9's paycuts this season

I mean I dislike George but Tex isn't a part of this roster so he isn't fully wrong

posted about a year ago

While that's true, G2 did invest in prolific players and built an on paper strong roster for t2. From an organizational standpoint, I don't see a massive difference than the effort put in by G2 compared to M80. On the other hand, G2 is a sustainable and popular esports organization, so it's good for the Americas for G2's sustained presence. I have no attachment to the org, but this was the objective best option for the players and region.

johnqt is a very standard caller, but he is willing to prep alot. for super teams, I think this style of calling is better since it allows the amazing players like sacy and zekken to make midround calls while still having structure. this is how fnatic was able to be so succesful this year with boaster. if fnatic had a better caller like ANGE1, i feel they would have done worse

I would am pretty confident it will be Seoul. APAC needs its first champs, and I doubt Riot will be confident enough to do it anywhere else. Not to mention how much cheaper Seoul would be for riot compared to literally anywhere else in Asia

tbh, it doesn't matter if guard tried to sell the slot. at this point, the guard roster are f/a's and they can choose to sign to whoever they want to. Whatever agreement the org made wouldnt affect the descion a f/a team chooses to take.

I have a feeling that one of Crashies or Victor will igl making up for it. Both are very capable and known to mid round a lot

posted about a year ago

I think it has to be a NRG or TL player given they underperformed the most. My pick is Redgar as TL looked sloppy and uncreative which are things an IGL should be responsible for avoiding.

I think it's zekken for Americas

EDG: Brighton, newer players on the rise. Able to contend but not consistently beat top teams.

I'm assuming BcJ is referring to ACS of a recon (fade/sova) initiator which he does have the highest stats of

posted about a year ago

I think that stellar/100T's gameplan is the root of that issue rather than cryo as a player. While cryo is not the best entry, their playstyle was focused on slow defaults into passive postplants which stole his ability to play more aggressive. In fact, the few moments of attack side success in the 100t v Sen was when they ran fast splits and cryo was enabled to pop off. On xset, cryo entried on ascent and a few other non-chamber comps and was pretty successful. His rifling is also criminally underrated. I think focusing more on training him as a entry in the off-season with an improved igl/coach is better investment than shifting cryo's role.

I agree he can be forgiven, but C9 should publicly put him in some racial/xenophobia training. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn and improve. I am unsure if Riot's punishment is necessary since he never made only xenophobic comments, but a one/two-match ban wouldn't be crazy.

Prob because fpx were dominating that map, so even if he lost it wouldn't be a huge deal. The best clutches are in situations were a clutch could/did massively impact the game
