Fr, he’s a great opper and a great entry and a great star player
Literally dream scenario for finesse

Derke in nrg would feed families, fns is very good at setting up star players, that’s why they struggled with ardiis who isn’t that super star player

Would be a great move for nrg and derke if it works out

Were they not a top 10 team last year? Made a 4th place finish and attended all the lans

Yay has literally only played sentinel

Can’t wait to see more riens vs Leo next year

Yeah def agree
I think regardless chichoo is edge’s best player dudes been a beast since Tokyo

Then rawkass is mvp because babybay ain’t doing that shit without some motivation 🍑

If edg wins, I have chichoo as mvp (slightly more consistent than smoggy)
If th wins, I have riens as mvp (shoutout miniboo tho)

TL DR
Zellsis does have a decent bit of value to a team like sen especially with quieter players who feel pressure like Zekken and tenz

I personally think zellsis should be dropped, but it’s worth noting that from comms u can hear him hyping up the team and motivating them when they are down on rounds
This is extremely important because sometimes teams shut down and drastically reduce comma when they are struggling or tilted
Even more impressively, zellsis is able to be the hypeman and emotional leader when HE IS DOING bad, which is extremely rare and valuable
Many IGLs for an example struggle to call or lead the team when they are underperforming

Kang kang is overrated, everyone glazes him when talking about edg but his teammates don’t get enough credit
And u can say Aspas is worse than kk after one series, that’s not how every pro video game works

C9 better do something with OXY, that mf is a once in a life time talent, genuinely incredible

Kang kang is not better than Aspas
But chichoo might be
Stop the kk overrating and rate qq and smoggy

Edit: get Aspas off the op tho Fr

Erm idk about zellsis
Sacy deserves all the respect

Edit: read it wrong
Sacy should not be dropped under any circumstances

If th wins they have the best year
If edg or lev wins geng have the best year

Fns didn’t fail to make a lan with the best init of all time, best flex of all time, 2nd best duelist and 2nd best sentinel (or best) of all time
Boaster is the fraudiest fraud who ever frauded

Lol dephh gets massively overheated, sentinels also struggled in 2023 because tenz had personal issues outside the game and wasn’t on smokes, sacy was on fucking omen and kj sometimes and pancada mostly played sentinels

Fuck Andrew tate
Cryo cells and Zekken would have shit all over everyone in 2023

Sacy is fine, I promise u he isn’t fragging out because he is specifically playing more supportively
Zellsis will get replaced tho prolly

Pancada individually looked incredible, doubt he is too mad

Bro is somewhere in a nightclub in Brazil laughing his ass off

Played well on haven and so well on icebox, but it will all be forgotten

It’s favors aggro more and favors assists less

He’s also got one of the highest assist per rounds in the tourney
Doesn’t need to frag to get impact

That doesn’t mean a team falls off, some teams have endured multiple years and still been good

I have a weird feeling geng is going to fall of a cliff next year.

Ur forgetting that yay has a lot of friends and connections, he will likely get trials with a lot of tier 1 American teams and if they like his performance they will sign him (unless they have someone like less)

Clearly he was just individually in a slump and struggled to adapt after chamber meta, but just as clearly part of it were the enormous expectations that everyone else and he also placed on himself

Legija mentioned that yay was having vision problems and lost sight of his crosshair. This is not a random excuse, other pros that experience anxiety or have a lot of pressure such as tenz have reported the same thing
Extreme stress can cause blurred vision and even long term cause permanent vision loss if preexisting eye conditions exist
So yeah this isn’t a bullshit excuse

Yay has also said that he dealt with mental health struggles in the past even before competing at a high level
Poor guy, imagine the shit he went through

They got first rounded in a lan they were guaranteed invitation too…

Sacy attended no lans in 2023 tho

Replace fns with saadhak and add in jinggg (too many baiters otherwise)

Why so? Please don’t bring up trophies considering that trophies don’t equal individual skill and chronicle has more trophies

Funnily enough (pro players confirm this) eu ranked is the easiest, with APAC the hardest and na somewhere in the middle

He started 2023 very strong but struggled during and after Tokyo
2024 his team was horrible and he struggled
He still a good player, but clearly not the goat

No chance sadly, his performances in 2023 and 2024 are too lackluster

APAC ranked is the hardest, but yay barely had a 1 kd in ranked, which coincided with him having no confidence in pro player
I am fairly certain we will see an uptick in his pro performance now that he has gotten confiedence back

Ranked play does have a correlation to pro play, qck does way worse on ranked than Aspas for example, and yay on bleed sucked ass in ranked
Ranked demons have also dominated the pro scene
Ranked doesn’t show player’s comms, ability to work with teammates etc but does indicate raw gun skill

Less’s claim to goat sentinel isn’t stronger than Leo’s considering he made one lan this year = (Leo’s performance in 2022), and Leo arguably played better than him in 2021

Mako and Aspas I agree with, but I think Leo is definitively the goat init

He was actually amazing in 2022, if u watched vct Emea, his team was just mid, and he played amazing in Copenhagen

He played well in 2021 as well, that’s when people first heard of him, when he dominated in lcq 2021

Tbf leo is very very consistent, especially in 2023, and he’s been amazing in 2024 individually as well

Leo, sacy, or chronicle?
Personally I have Leo

Fuck koi free grubinho and sheydos

Fns is just really fucking shaky, his aim isn’t even that bad, just ugly
If he took ashwaganda before matches we could get god tier fns

Someone post the Hiko steel copy pasta

He was legit fragging out and ended plus 12 going 18-6 on abyss, he just didn’t take first duels at all

He’s still the goat but how tf does com and kingg (initiator lurker and smokes igl) have 12 and 5 first engagements to only 3 from Aspas
That is legit horrendous

I don’t think they need bailouts, they have a lot of players like Jonahp and Trent who can step up with leaf and valyn being consistent
If anything, what will fuck then over are there slow starts

I don’t think they are winning champs if fnatic and sen are in prime form, but otherwise they have a very good shot

I think they are overrated but I feel like they are making top 3 thru lower bracket, I have fnatic g2 and sen making top 3

I think heretics willl have a rough time and go out early
