Depending on what MIBR does I actually think Cortezia would be the best placement for Zellsis.

Has better mechanics, is better on the sentinel role, and also he seems to be the vibe guy for MIBR just like Zellsis is for Sen.

C9 is better currently but neither would have done shit at Champs so it doesnt matter

I actually think it's the best system, and don't understand the hate for it.

The entire idea of Champs points and how they changed the system last year is to reward teams who have been consistent over the entirety of the year - not just Stage 2. MIBR have so many Champs points because they've been better than the other teams outside of Sen and G2 for 2/3 of the year.

Like what ya'll are actually saying is that these teams have been so uncompeititive all year that they can't even pass in points a team that didn't make playoffs. But I'm supposed to feel bad for them? They deserve to be sitting at home watching just as much as MIBR.

They went from guaranteed playoffs to guaranteed to get their ass beat by G2 thanks to this loss.

I don't know how 100T fans don't get tired of watching every Tier 2 duelist coming in and immediately diffing the player who's been on their team for 4 years.

Like Mada and Sato were literally free

The real reason is because Aspas still isnt Aspas on any agent besides Jett. The reason MIBR's best map is Icebox is simply because it's the only good Jett map in the map pool right now.

It's 2025. The duelists of the year are Raze, Yoru and Neon. Aspas either needs to figure it out or change roles. His Raze has been just ok but his Yoru and Neon are straight up bad.

1. JohnQT
2. Valyn

The rest aren't good enough for me to rank them , but next 3 in some order would be mitch, Zander and kiNgg

If the team is underperforming, doens't that also fall on Aspas?

He is not only the star player, but he also is the one who made the team and recruited everyone but Verno.

It's not troll at all. The troll is being a Brazilian player who can't speak English.

That is the future of the region. Even Loud had to go get a guy from the Netherlands because Brazil has no good IGL's. The best ever from the region was actually from Argentina.

Brazilian orgs hands are tied because nobody in that region has any idea what macro is.

Nah it's ass. For many people this will be their only LAN they ever go to and only time they can meet the MIBR players.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills the way people talking about Reduxx like he's some superstar duelist. Bro couldn't even farm tier 2. The star of that Oxygen team was Verno who was hard clearing Reduxx while on Sova.

Look at the numbers guys like N4rrate and Oxy put up in T2 then look at the numbers Reduxx put up.

If Reduxx was the same age as Mada nobody would be talking about him like this. But because he's 17 we have to pretend like he wasn't a mid T2 duelist because of his "potential".

Sure, if you add the quantifier "on smokes". But not even TenZ played just smokes. TenZ played Yoru, Kayo and Gekko all this year. Zander has never even played any of those agents. So he can't even operate as a 1/1 replace of TenZ the way Jawgemo would, and you'd have to change your roles around just to accomodate him.

And in general, I think "x player = y role" is a bad way of team building, You have no idea what's going to be strong before the season is done. Building your team assuuming last year's meta and team comps will still work means you are 1 meta shift or agent buff/nerf away from being behind all the other teams. Look at what happened to NRG witih Demon1 or 100T last year with Cryo. You even saw it this year with Sen. They obviously thought Deadlock was strong but couldn't use any of those comps because they lacked a player who could play that agent. You mitigate that by having flexible players who can all cover multiple roles and agents. Especially when your IGL only plays 2 or 3 agents already.

For example- SPG in APAC plays an Ascent comp that is Brim, Neon, Habror, Fade, Yoru. How could Sen even play that comp with Zander? N4rrate on Fade, and logically, you put John on Brimstone. So what does Zander play? You could put him on Harbor, but he's never played Harbor before. And even then you would have to put Zellsis on duelist. In this same comp, Jawgemo was the Harbor player for EG during their Championship run. But mroe realistic you let Zellsis play Harbor (which he used to do on Pearl for C9), and then Jawgemo can play either duelist.

I actually like the roster with Jawgemo instead of Zander.

Jawgemo can play duelist, smokes, and initiator. With him, Zekken and N4rrate you suddenly have a lot of flexibility on the comps you can play.
