Ofc you would know? Your entire basis of comparison is result based lmao. Valyn is significantly better mechanically and individually. And utilizes his team in a system far better than saadhak ever has just lacks the literal best players in each role that saadhak had.
I couldn't possibly care less about what saadhak did in the 90s with one of the best if not the best duelist to touch the game, one of the best sentinels to touch the game and one of the best controllers in the game. AND one of the best initiators in their prime. Notice what happened when he didn't have those players.
Yeah I can say boom will do well internationally too except theirs no justification for that. Nongshim have been said to be destroying top teams in scrims and dfm has actually SHOWN in the off season they can compete with champs teams like trace and prx. All kc has shown is that can beat koi and navi... teams who also have no justification of being able to compete internationally.
valyn led teams don't fall off a cliff either.
Prx T1 Geng Drx Dfm and Nongshim should all be competitive internationally. Emea has 3 at best. APAC is significantly more competitive.
Okay? Literally what does that even mean no one’s claiming everyone apac team is better than the ENTIRETY of emea… like what? That doesn’t have to be the case to be a better region overall.
Didn’t win with him so clearly he wasn’t a solution.
Wdym “better than Emea” yeah they’re not better than the entire region… is that??? Supposed to mean something?
No. Fns, Boostio, Johnqt probably Valyn too.
It’s bias nothing more. People are quick to say you shouldn’t use the off season when C9 absolutely obliterates G2 or when Furia beats Kru and Mibr back to back but will base NRG entirely off what they’ve done in the off season. NRG will be good but not nearly as good as people seem to think hopefully opens some eyes.
Never. Just put stocks into purp0 and he unfortunately underperformed this series.
Sure? Maybe last year with bleed ge dfm and zeta… but dfm looks significantly better zeta looks better boom looks better than bleed and ge looked better than they did last year at the very least. The majority of apac looks better than the majority of emea.
Only igls that are better than Saadhak are in NA
Nothing all that impressive in the slightest. Didn’t expect much of the other 3 but honestly thought GX would be a lot better.
Shao played fine??? This is entirely Ange1 and coaching. Everyone else is playing well or very impactful.
Did you seriously just name less as a top 3 sentinel contender for 2024? This is so unserious.
Seeing people say meteor is “so much better” is hilarious you would think Asuna and Aspas were being compared. Meteor is better but they’re both great and we’re both top 3 sentinels 2024. To act as if they’re not comparable is a more braindead take than saying benjy>
G2 doesn’t want to show everything but yeah sen does… they got destroyed let it go.
Icy > Oxy is certainly a take. Icy is like a slightly better and more consistent Asuna.
Very, and jaw has bad consistency problems. People just aren’t ready for those talks.
100T just suck at scrims or what? Feel like I never see these guys doing well in scrims.
Why not just have bonkar as ac if he’s like some requirement to having verno.
Guarantee you they don't even make top 4
Who cares? Loud missed out on both following majors and didn't even do well in their own region, finished as a bottom 3 team, lmao. And heretics lost two grand finals. Geng can only win events when Sentinels aren't around. This is a terrible argument if that's the case none of them deserve anything they all fumbled at one point or another or many.
Sure, the “Year” doesn't encompass JUST champs, however champs is the most important period DURING that year. If a team drops off a cliff. At the most significant time period. Idk why chichoo over meteor would be hilarious, he won champs with some of the best stats in the event.
They played well the entire season and then got walked by Sentinels in the most important tournament at the end… EDG didn't and simply improved, getting better and better. If they did NOTHING relevant the entire season and then suddenly won champs in a relatively dominant fashion, where mind you they nearly went flawless, BARLEY losing out to G2 once, then yeah they deserve that praise. It's far more difficult to improve and surpass top teams starting from a low point than simply maintaining form. And champs will always matter far more than anything during the rest of the season. Not to mention, kangkang played well all year lmao. His team flopping doesn't mean he flopped.
Your points flawed… that's my point. You can beat the other team BECAUSE you have a better team… not inherently because you are individually better. And vise versa.
Sure he did… do you intend to address the actual point or just lean into keznit having a better year as if I didn't mention 5 other duelists. Doing off stats on VLR only PROVES my point, lmao Primmie was top 3 in champs top 6 in acd and was playing on par with Aspas against lev. Narrate in madrid, patitiek and woot in Shanghai etc.
No… I mentioned two players who made tournaments while jawgemo didn't. I didn't say who had a better year, I said WHO WAS BETTER... funny you disregard Asuna in that as well lmao… According to this logic qck, asuna, keznit, govenor, whyz, heck even tvirusluke are all better than people like Jawgemo and Oxy because they didn't make an event. It's ridiculous logic and you know it.
its as simple as amazing players being on lack luster teams. Else are we saying Asuna and Keznit > Jaw because they made events this year and he didn't?
You are referring to the SECOND time DRX beat GENG. Like I said this is probably what separates you from the “professionals” the ability to use the eyeballs lodged in your skull… how you lack that ability is beyond me.
Yes and that same team beat GENG with their core roster still intact and FPX TWICE who made 1 change. The fact you couldn’t deduce that reasoning is probably what separates you and these “professionals”
No they just can't ascend, it'll go to whoever is second aka whoever they play. A pointless grand final is kinda crazy to me, but I get it at the same time two teams from the same org in T1 is just as crazy.
SEN, NRG, G2, LEV, KRU, 100T and probably MIBR would still all be top 5 in any other region bare minimum. They'll be fine.
Meiy hard diffs tex. DFM 2-0
It's okay, Verno will drag this team to at least 1 international.
Lmao remove cryo and that team is lucky to get a positive record.
Absolutely, exactly what DFM did, and they actually look like competitors now.
