Unlikely to payoff in terms of an ascension win, but they were easily the best free agent in challengers.

I could be wrong, but I thought Laz igls.

Liquipedia says sugarz3ro but I could've sworn it was Laz at some point, maybe he was just the captain tho.

Pretty sure Zeta really want to keep a full JP roster, but I could be wrong. I think ever since the roster moved from CS to val, they haven't had a single import, but I could be wrong

Tenn has proved in the past that he can pop off on the raze, and did really well on it in Iceland. I think it's worth noting that ever since Reykjavik zeta's only losses have been to what most people would consider best teams in the world in loud, fnc, drx, and Lev who are really good. (Plus two loses to tln and nth). The real issue seems to be that when dep is playing Jett, their duelist isn't as consistent, and their starts don't have a ton of depth to them. My suggestion would be move dep to Perma sentinel role or pick up something or another duelist to replace him.

Open can be healthy, half-open sounds like coping for being down bad for someone that doesnt respect you.

I think I remember him saying that he's still getting used to calling in English. Hopium that's the problem right now.

Redgar's been good imo. Trolling a little bit rn, but his icebox was good.

Redgar calling still just heavy CT-sided I guess.

He's one of the best, but probably not in top 5 imo.

Bro's talking to himself

Kinda, only because their subregions aren't as apparent as the Americas or pacific to most people.

Somehow surviving every roster change

Massively increasing my hopium for zeta. Looking like keeping the same roster might give them a buff.

Loud vs Zeta (unlikely as it is) at a reasonable time for Japan would probably be insane.

Probably for 2023. My guess is that it's a combination of his wrist needing time to heal, and the fact that he might not be the most up to date on the meta from his break in OW.

Yeah, but suggest is also Korean. Having three different languages on your team seems like a bad idea.

From what I've read, something's Japanese isnt the best, so the language differences on that team would've been mega fucked.

If you're referring to the no shouting/cheering at sports events due to covid, I believe that was changed recently, but I could be wrong.

You don't realize how bad you smell until you quit. While I've never been addicted to smoking, I'd recommend anyone trying to quit to at least go a few days to see how bad you smell, and hopefully that motivated you.

Both can cause lung cancer, but the proclivity is much higher in cigarettes. Cigarettes have a pretty terrible rap in America with their history, and weed is more of a commonly accepted thing among younger people. You probably shouldn't do either, but one is undeniably worse for you.

I used to have a friend that smoked, and it got so bad to the point when we went on vacation he went around trying to find half used cigarettes to smoke. I've never seen something similar with weed.

Actually difficult, or geng was just really underrated. Probably Loud 2-1

Wait until the weekend to see how bad it will be. Realistically, I don't see either of the Brazilian teams making it to the Grand final. It's possible that this isn't like CS and the crowd will stay after the BR teams are eliminated, but you probably won't know until the weekend.

Fr tho, this knights production has been so bad so far. Constant stream and audio lag + this tech pause.

Teamspeak crashed, they're moving everyone to discord. classic NA Production

I like aspas, and think he's a really good player, but sometimes I just really want to see GenG win to see the absolute chaos in some of the threads that will come out.

Yeah, I just double checked, looked like he played on Icebox v.s. fnatic, and that was it. I just remember finding it funny because he got his own hype video before the event, and they only let him play one map.

Vision strikers used to have a 6 man with Lakia, and I can't even remember if he got to play a single map.

NA never doing something on LAN after NA 2021(?) LCQ, even though that wasn't really even a full LAN.

Bro, who did those photoshops for the roster photos? That was so bad.

Absolute banger, could be 2-1 either way.

2-1 either way. After yesterday, I'm leaning to CGZ.

Fisker neon op entry is certainly unique

Crazy Racoon, NTH, or SG, one of those is winning.

Felt like 95% of it was just speculation. There's no reason to believe that Sinatraa was blacklisted because Riot would've just made it an indefinite ban. That would've just generated infinite good pr for banning him "permanently,". They literally gained nothing by making it only a 6-month ban.

On what grounds lol? Even if he was verifiably innocent, Riot could still blacklist him from the league just because he was associated with SA allegations in the past, nothing illegal about it.

The funny thing about this is there's actually a statistic that most people that go into sex work have been sexually abused in the past.

Not saying that makes him guilty.

I think it's worth noting that it's not confirmed that he's blacklisted. During the time he was suspended, he wasn't playing in any tournaments. I believe prior to the LCQ, his only competitive noteworthy thing was being trialed in scrims. It's possible no teams wanted to take a risk on him going into franchising, especially when there wasn't exactly a clear person to replace with him. I think if somehow he isn't picked up by any teams next year, franchise or tier 2, it's safe to say he's been blacklisted from franchising.

How can you put Faze as 7? Their roster was looking really good towards the end of last year, and presumably Neptune is an upgrade from flyuh.

Maybe the issue is that zellsis doesn't really play sova, which is what sinatraa plays. Also don't know if you put him on raze if you have Xeppaa.

Out of curiosity, assuming he was playing the initiator/flex duelist role, who would you swap out for him that's currently in franchise?

Finally found some direction in my life after just doing whatever I wanted in the moment. Decided to go to Law school, and am currently studying for the LSAT. Feels good to finally have something to work towards instead of just working out and playing video games.

Good Will Hunting, train to Busan, whiplash

Brim's not really a must pick on fracture, fpx and xset (I believe) run omen from time to time.

Almost certainly not true. Can't believe the romanian government/police couldn't tell, especially when we had pictures on his twitter, that had him walking around romania with the romanian flag emoji. It'd be hilarious if it's true, but it's probably just internet bs.

I don't know about Champions, but I remember hearing it around Copenhagen, where they got to the grand finals, and Jinggg said they were just playing for fun.

This is just my personal bias, but I think something is actually a crazy underrated player. Would be really fun to see him at a LAN.

I don't understand why people got so mad about Shroud saying he wasn't as good as simple because he didn't have as much passion. Is the argument that s1mple is really better than shroud because of genetics? Wouldn't saying it was due to him just being genetically better dismiss all of the passion he puts into the game?

I'm similar. Not really possible to explain things like consciousness from a purely physical perspective, but I don't think that the answer is a some sort of god.

Grew up Methodist, and transitioned to atheism towards the end of high school.

Yeah, bro forgot to take his schizo meds.
