Yea, for their comp, they were fundamentally wrong in their approach. They need to stop worrying about what geng will bring, and start playing their own game. Be more silly, be more open, more fluid, take more risks and they need to prioritize zekken. And they need to switch off from a cypher on Haven because that garage set up is horrible.

The round where texture updrafts over and they essentially crunch C has one of the worst cypher set ups. You cannot use a trip like an alarm bot or turret for just info, you need them to get a pick as theyre entering site, but John in C did not have an angle to get a pick for the tripped guy in garage. Plus, they didnt have anyone push down C and hold for info (many teams will do this to get information), and no one to watch garage from CT (this is normal), which is why when the site hit happens, johns only trip is deep into site so it doesnt stop the flood into site, texture is able to easily wrap around because of his smokes and no one watching garage from CT and because they didnt have an aggressive push into C, they were also worried about a C main player. Essentially, with such a shitty set up, they somehow managed to create a way to ideally get crunched 3 way into C. Its just much better to use a cam to watch garage, and have at least 1 cypher trip for garage or main flood imo.

Back on ascent, I remember the kay o ult round where he farms john and tenz on site, the cypher cam is on the wall facing into a link and not on an angle to get any info on mid. If they had a cam set up on the cat, or maybe market which looked into mid, theyd know about the rotation and would just play retake with everyone instead of anchoring against a kay o ult with no smokes.

The ascent game was not good to watch. They played very differently from how teams of that comp fight, but even then basics were all wrong. Having your omen (only flash and smokes) hard anchor to get hit by 5 utils + texture is guaranteed death. Even the round where he got a nice 2k was played bad because nothing to help him when he got paranoid, john runs away after netting while texture is top of gen, and when john swings to get the tenz 2k trade, theyre already in.

You cannot have your most valuable retake agent aside from Sova be hard anchor is one of my issues.

Then they played too passively, never pushing mid or b had them stuck until their util gets any info, because that is all they had to rely on. They would try to get tenz or zekken in wine, not for fights but midround info, but that is just too predictable and will get no value if they decide to commit, even the tenz kill on texture was textures fault because he didnt wait for the kayo molly. If they just had zekken or anyone like zelllsis follow up on a drone from sacy to reclear b main and then put aggressive trips instead and get info that no one is here, theyd actually get proper info instead of knowing whats happening 2 seconds before the site hit comes. Example is the round where munchkin gets his ult from B and rotates to A from mid. Sen have 0 info of mid and b main aside from theyre not too aggressive here (but they can be passively holding). This keeps john in A site because he doesnt anticipate the kay o ult, and then when it comes, you get a recon, into a paranoia from geng, and because there was no info of it being A, Tenz didnt smoke A main and the deadlock util didnt work and both get farmed by munchkin.

You cannot forfeit information in a comp with needs you to stop pushes as it happens, because then youll never know where to setup for the push properly.

Lastly, the players were shooting great, but they were never set up for success. I saw this on haven defense too, but zekken is never assisted to be put in an aggressive angle where he can get one and run away, the way geng does for texture. They 3 (maybe 4) man walked mid with no util and texture opping and kept pushing until CT where texture gets a pick and sacy has to drone because he knows there are more. Sen never did that, they gave zekken so much autonomy but couldnt set him up. Even something simple like zekken tiles crunching, walking b with an op, one waying and then getting an aggressive line just never happened.

Lmao you said probably when we dont even know anything. Everything is speculation, but random kids here will drag it and use it like its the truth, so if youre gonna speculate then at least avoid anything that could potentially be harmful.

Sen wont ban Haven, instead theyll try to take Haven and force GenG to play either Sunset or Lotus; assuming GenG doesnt ban haven first. IMO

Unlucky, very unlucky. They lose to prime real okay sure, he was their best player but okay. Then they choke against a Man U with buffon somehow throwing (??? how did he miss that) then they reach the finals. 19é20 PSG, the best version, Tuchel cooked, mbappe missed an easy goal but its fine we move on. 20é21 Fair loss to city, Id blame the coaching here because it was done horribly, I dont understand why we would wanna play a counterattack style attack the best possession team, who had their wingers back then, so they were far more lethal on counters. 21é22 The defense forgot their feet and singlehandedly loss them the game.

Messi era lasted a shit while, 2018 modric did not deserve it, and the benzema BDR only happened because PSGs defense started to shit themselves 20 minutes from end, genuinely the worst iteration of PSG in recent time. No leader, galtier sucks ass, the team has too much conflict internally, and the team didnt have a decisive playstyle that worked for them. On top of that, Neymars injuries were crazy, but not too surprising, they hated him over there.

Bleed beat a team, and he even aced twice this year I think. I dont know but I liked what Bleed were upto early kickoff, but I think they bought into the fans and decided to change the stuff. Yay looked decent on neon, and his skye or viper just needed time, because deryeon duelist was clearly the better move. Unlucky tho, NRG Yay, FNS, S0M, Ethan and Crashies incoming

Idk maybe because NRG, EDG and BLG all werent that good? In Madrid, you could make an argument for any team winning, including FPX. In Champs, NRG, BLG, TL, Zeta, FPX, T1 and Kru were legit all fodders. NRGs decline internally was already visible from champs, they were not that good of a team during that specific period of time.

posted 10 months ago

Nah not always, like last year champs where the main competition were just some teams, and the rest were fodder. Ya all complain about China having 3 or 4 slots because theyre ass, yet also look down on tournaments that only have the best of the best by limiting the amount of teams.

it 100% leans towards him, but he may not comment on it for many reasons. DRX could be stopping him, legal advisors could be stopping him, him knowing he is guilty could be stopping him. Hard to pin one down, and if a response ever comes, it will most likely come through DRX and not him, as in a statement written by "him" posted through the official DRX Val account I think.

Yea I agree, I just think its something worth considering especially in this case, not as much in general, more so in this case.

Yea but yk its like I mentioned in a different thread, often too many times in the past have multiple victims been denied of their justice because of many different reasons, and so many choose to counter that now by agreeing quicker. Its a double edged sword, I would much rather everyone stay neutral but I get their point. Plus, I am a man, there are some issues then I wont be able to grasp as heavily as women will be able to.

Lol they are comparing of whether to believe a potential liar or a potential rapist when they should just be believing in nothing as there is no concrete evidence yet. Though I do understand why they lean towards the potential liar side.

Just not how it works. If you are in the clear, you can come out and say it because the backlash will always be there. When people like EDP can initially deny it while being convicted, then I dont see why he cant.

If legal action is being taken, then he will be advised not to say anything though, which could be why he is silent.

nah buddies are ugly imo, I did buy skins but I still use some base skins, like sandswept purple sheriff, fade shorty, viper frenzy, battlepass blue and white classic, and I use the reaver ghost now, but I did use the reyna ghost, super clean. Cypher ghost is nice too.
