what was good about the way they played...

G2 placed top 2 at an event RRQ can't win 2 games.

Idk about the whole team but Jemkin is for sure a regional merchant.

Mibr would destroy the team that just played fnatic.

all 3 teams in this group look bad. Insane that mibr might top this group

He had more kills by the 2nd pistol than hes had in any ENTIRE MAP since koi man... Talon died for this

If you're making boaster look like 2024 karon it IS your fault.

Tbf I was only in it for the trexx narrative rarely ever do I root for emea. Big mako fan though rooted for them at seoul as well.

absolutely

Or do both of these teams look shit. Not trying to be harsh just expected much better.

somehow got my gamble picks right and the ones I was sure of wrong

they're going undefeated

No fix needed, all good just going through a drought. Reused 2024 champs script.

Yeah but your using a conditional... that being beating G2... which Tenz on sen never did... again what is the RELEVANCE to g2 here... why not prx whos actually in their group and won an international and that Tenz on sen DID beat. What is this willful ignorance.

without ever beating G2... so why are we mentioning G2...

Brother they didn't beat G2 with tenz...

johnqt... who was 1.11 1.15 and 1.09

yes and won of those 13-11's they lost both pistols... and the other was a 9-3 comback... haven record is inflated due to beating the same team on it twice which is irrelevant... they yet to beat a team that actually looks good on ascent hence why I said arguably... I dont think their ascent gets punished. But sure lets say their ascent is better big difference corrode is their 3rd best map.

Its their best map and thus there best shot doesn't help that sen has only lost this map to G2 and PRX though. Not counting the outlier of 2G

This is arguably giants 2nd best map under sunset stop making excuses for frauds.

Losing to China famers this bad is just shameful.

PRX is getting grouped I'm afraid

I'm not sure the average Senegalese citizen that not heavily embedded within the culture could name 10 Senegalese artists period...

no doubt? however thats a completely different portion of riot. Who to begin with the writer aren't even directly apart of. Stromae is also on hiatus they in fact didn't even reach him directly but through his brother not like he's a phone call away.

both singers ARE korean...???

I mean you wouldn't find it odd to just shoe horn french into a random song because its the anthem of an event that just happens to be taking place in france...

I respect self awareness

Do you have any genuine rebuttals or do you just bitch and moan over opinions on the internet?

I mean no offense I could name 10 good american/korean artist for every 2 good french artist. Not the biggest pool to choose from especially with very little if any connections in that regard.

800 dpi .5 sometimes .7

both 2-0's imo. I also think SEN have a good chance at upsetting PRX.

simply a cool vibe I don't think every thing needs to be super dramatic and overzealous there is beauty in subtlety. People also hated ticking away when it was very first leaked hard to take a website literally known for overrating serious.

I prefer last shot over all of these tbh

Lmao

Ange1 is on your team.

They did shit at Shanghai when they placed 3 and 4 and BOTH only lost to the grand finalists while only LEV actually did shit? Genuinely what are you talking about.

They lost to 100T

Upper final was closest imho. G2 were shit on split and sen had a solid abyss. And a close comeback on haven. Haven scoreline doesn’t do that upper final game justice and again the ascent was also very close. First GF was just trading eachothers best/worst maps apart from haven.

Kaajak but honestly if NRG or LEV make it and go on a run or XLG go on a run any of those players could jump up. Or if Aspas does Aspas things and Verno ends up doing well.

For sure man totally!

G2 owned sen in kick off. A point where sen was very much so still learning to incorporate N4RRATE and Bang. Even on an individual level N4RRATE has only recently lived up to his potential on this team and gotten back to his form of last year. So those two wins are going to influence people’s opinions even though SEN is just demonstrably a way better team now. Stage 1 they were much closer being 1-1 even in tha grand final sen would’ve won either of haven or ascent had they one a pistol. Currently I’d have them and G2 with leaf pretty even. Though I think SEN has a better map pool.

I’m referring to regionals… 3 games does not make you a dominant team lmao. That last comment just established that your clearly bias and pointless to talk to as that would get no where you’re a brick wall… simply agree to disagree.

PRX were shit in kickoffs and neither of prx or geng have been dominant lmao they’ve been constantly up and down in gameplay.

That is a horrible bench mark… neither of those regions have consistently dominant teams.

C9 EG and 100T all took maps off G2 stage 2 and nearly beat them? This also assumes all team have the same range of a floor and ceiling which simply isn’t true. Clear example is G2 they are incredibly hard to dominate no matter how good you are… every map they play will be competitive whether they win or lose and they will NEVER lose to a team that’s significantly worse than them. Only 3 times have they gotten truly dominated on a map this year. EDG on fracture in Bangkok, Cloud 9 on haven in stage one, and Sen on split in kickoff. PRX just got 2-0 one map a complete domination by the worse team in their region… their floor is drastically lower than G2 or even FNC. Shouldn’t even need to mention TH but most note worthy losing 13-5 to Apeks… it will simply be harder to upset teams like G2

Ok. We’ll see I suppose.

Sure… Geng? BBL? TH? Vitality? Trace? FPX? DRX? RRQ? KC? FUT? TLN? What’s your next excuse?

One of their teams played with a coach last minute. I would say SEN G2 NRG are all top teams whilst C9 and LEV are constantly improve towards that level. C9 getting owned by them then taking them to 3 close maps is proof of that. And that’s ignoring 100T who are just very inconsistent currently. I agree with the worst team being the worst in VCT however.

“Eye test” I different for different people it is not a objective metric as different people see different things based on experience and knowledge of the game and overall preference. Again do you intend to say like literally anything of substance? Or just say “no you’re dumb” in a fancy way again?

You, like him simply say nothing of substance and then proceed to make claims that can be applied to several other teams. Which leads to nothing… let alone “improving” it’s actually just kinda cringe.
