nice try again brother. Me showing a flaw in YOUR logic doesn't prove Jiga’s point right.

True, but from a legal standpoint, why talk when you don't need to. Riot isn't the law so why risk saying something stupid by accident, as your words can be used against you. Also the fallacy of "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," is a really bad to live your life on :P

Probably whatever he said was an instruction by his legal team. Do you really think Sin would talk to Riot about such a crucial topic by himself? Of course not without his legal team breathing down his his neck. Whether he wanted to fully cooperate or not, we will never know and it was likely not up to him.

that's like saying optic lost to the in closed equals, therefore they could never do well in this tourney. Good try

1) FPX
2) LOUD
3) Optic
4) DRX
5) Gambit/PRX

Closed/Playoffs for sure

LOL totally forgot about this... valid point my friend

Love my asian brother and he deserves his spot on Optic. INSANE player. BUT imagine for a sec, Yay, FNS, Crashies, Marved, Tenz. Hear me out: Victor plays supportive flash, raze, and neon right now. Tenz loves neon, begged shahz to put him on it. Despite public opinions of tenz on raze, I think he has what it takes. He can also probably learn flash flex characters. Thoughts??

ZETA 2-1 Liquid

PRX 2-1 Guard

Tenz chamber and Shahz jett feels backwards to me. Shahz was an awper in the CS days and imo looks better on the top than tenz and tend looks better as an entree to me. So, could tend be like core? No popping jett and shahz on the chamber?

Holy... Faze looks scary

exactly, optic are just utilizing agents differently than other team's is all, and they probably want yay to play the way he is, and it's working. why does optic have to operate like how the public and try general consensus think they have to?

SicK can literally be great on any agent. He is that versatile. Plus Dapr has already played viper in matches, so hed be 2nd smoker I presume.

I don't know about Less, but I saw a tweet from Aspas saying he doesn't feel any side effects of COVID, so he should be ok. It just sucks they wont have as much hype/momentum opportunity from being remote/off-stage

Xset players have publicly said in the past theyd never play on a team with Sin.

Yeah hes kinda right. They’d take a small and temp rep hit for good results. May not be the same as Sin scenario but there are big ex-csgo match fixers on big val teams rn. Do orgs care? Na cuz they getting results

I agree. He seems to have fostered a more "politically correct" fanbase, so they would have gotten real upset if he had responded directly

You're right narrative was the wrong word. It was more of just how the message being put across changed from CERTAINLY not to we dont have answers, ykw I mean? I'm not prodding at anything just curious.

Yeah I agree, was just curious if he addressed it--I am sure he got tons of questions about it.

Thats interesting. So the narrative went from “no way sinatraas coming back to sen” to “i dont have information about it to tell”

Has Shahz addressed Sinatraa’s tweet on stream during the watch party?

Ok, we can play that game. I didn’t say that you said that. I just made a comment.

Koosta was never tier 1 in Cs. He was close but never broke the barrier

i laugehd out loud at this during class

Surely, sayaplayer

if tier 2/3 cs pros do well in val why couldnt tier 1 cs pros be good? Now look are my wording.. i didnt say WILL be i said could

I think Loud or Optic will win

Not wrong, but thats besides the point. Post was clearly for fun as a thought experiment

Yeah I agree, the 1-4 scoreline doesnt look great but all the matches were close and if they didn't choke or tilt so many rounds I believe they could have done better. Same could be said for the opposing team but, I think Sean + Hazed could be a good for leadership

But simultaneously, hazed s0m and derreck have chemistry. plus s0m and asuna’s playstyles might mix well perhaps

Hazed may not be a fragging powerhouse, but ever since NRG added them, the cohesion and teamplay looked more convincing, the only big flaw they had was tilting and not being able to close things out

This is purely a hypothetical and a thought experiment, but there are rumors of Hazed looking outside NRG... what if s0m and Hazed went together to 100T along with Derrek.

Asuna - flex
Ethan - smokes/sentinel
Hazed - igl/smokes/sentinel
Derrek - sova
s0m - jett/chamber

1 at the very most

rare 100TBoeJiden W

“world class igl” idk. have you seen Sen’s strats recently? Before you cite their Iceland victory, they won off of pure aim and minimal strats. Back then nobody knew how to play the game as tactically as today and it was akin to enhanced ranked

I dont know if V1 is at the same level as C9 and Optic. I think there is C9 and Optic, large gap, guard xset and V1, large gap, everyone else

forgot about optic?

APAC — Pyth
NA — Yay
EU — Derke
BR — Heat
LATAM — Keznit
KR — Stax
JP — IDK

idk really about KR or JP

True. Hadn’t considered this.

What if he didnt adapt and 100t turns into EU playstyle with NA talent and mechanics

Could you imagine they pick up Bonecold, Derrek and Wardell?

Asuna Ethan Bonecold Derrek Wardell… kinda scary, no?

T1 Teams: C9/Guard/Optic all tied. Any one of them could beat each other on any given day.

T1.5 Teams: V1, XSET

Everyone else

A while back when competitive play resembled puggy, advanced, aim-centered, ranked matches. Now there are real strategies being brought out by real IGLs and look at Sen.

Bro it’s sen vs v1

Why are you getting downfragged LOL, you are stating a known fact??

It is beyond me why everyone thinks shahz is a good IGL. Where do you think their strats, or lack of, come from? What about their 2-Metas-ago agent lineup (Bind double duelist lol)? Even when they won island, it looked puggy, but they won by pure aim. Nothing has changed since then.

Rise is also either super hot or a team of bots so… could explain that loss.

LOL good observation; that's why he said "2 threads."

im going with a bold list that will piss people off, but here it goes:

c9
xset
rise
sen
nrg
optic
v1
guard
100T
knights
eg
lg

good save brotha
