wtf, he's 22? He's been here for so long as you said, that people actually forgot that he's young asf LMAO.

A lot of that reason is because he was the best AWPER in cs tho

Yoru (yor) top tier character, top tier waifu

TSM, C9, G2, and Fnatic are all up there for overall performance. I didn't include 100t since it is still kinda a new org in comparison to the ones mentioned.

Stewie doesn't seem like he's going to transfer yet.

DRX kinda threw on icebox, and split could have gone either way and was super close. Loud just kinda tossed g2.

Have you seen TSM fans? lol

Also, DRX are still strong favorites, right up there with Optic and Loud.

Wardell is supposed to be a reference towards Stephen Curry's first name, Wardell; he liked to awp and play long distance, similar to steph curry hitting 3's.

I thought it was an SAO reference to Zekken, the purple girl.

According to BR casters, the DRX match will be first as well.

Jing on Haven Defense kinda screwed up DRX's rhythm by literally taking 1v3's and winning.

Oh you were talking about the OP's post. My bad.

Didn't really feel like much of an excuse. MCE seemed pretty genuine and knew they didn't live up to expectations; the opponent simply did better than them.

Asia's playerbase is 10x that of the west (exaggeration, but still massive gap). It makes ZERO mathematical sense nor statistical sense for the West to overtly dominate the East in games. Greater population = greater potential for better players generally speaking (it isn't always true, but a greater pool of players will generate more competition and have more upcoming talent).

Race has nothing to do with whether or not East beats West or West beats East. It is entirely dependent on population and culture (And asia has a huge gaming culture, much like the west).

yo this was the same for me and TSM awhile back. Now, I just don't care anymore...wardell gone...sad.

Generally, in pro play, everyone has roughly the same aim. Over here, Jingg just outaimed everyone and made reyna viable lmao.

nah nah, if you arrest them, then they can make room for a sinatraa-wardell-ethan-fill-fill super team !1!!1!!1!

Yeah but it wasn't just the loss of Derke, they lost Brave too which is already 40% of the team gone. It is pretty difficult to establish a strong chemistry when replacing that many players.

I'm not gonna lie, her response on twitter was immature (referring to the part where she states 'I don't care lol got hw')

Most of us have seen the document already. In retrospect, if someone was to look into the situation, they would probably want to look at the documents, tweets (doing a small social analysis), and overall investigation, not just the document posted.

Guard wins the tournament after suffering either 1 or 0 losses, and recovering with a zenkai boost like they always do.

How tf are you going to claim anything before the international tourney? Meta has changed drastically, and calling EU on top over NA is just blasphemy.

cNed is definitely consistent but I just feel like the difference between him and other players isn't that wide. I'll concede that acend without cNed would literally fall apart and that cNed is a crucial core. But it is because of that, that Acend fell pretty badly this time around for challengers.

I guess. Maybe my bias to Nats is a bit extreme (still definetly a solid player), I just don't believe he is a no.3 player at the moment. With regards to cNed, my problem with him is almost the exact same problem I have for tenZ (still a bit different as tenZ is far more inconsistent). Big and flashy player that gets the kills but not necessarily the impact that the team needs.

I'm going to be honest, I haven't been impressed by cNed or Nats as of lately so I kinda impulsively judged the list impartially when seeing the part about "best oper" and "no explanation required." I think this list should include players like Valyn, Shao, Ange1, or even players like NeT.

I personally think that there is too much praise for cNed and Nats as of recently. Could just be me though.

This almost seems like a list made just by looking at names that come to mind (without factoring in recent results) and publicity.

Still accurate for the most part, but I'm not sure if I agree with the numbering of the players.

If guard is in the final and is playing against a team they lost previously to in the bracket, Guard takes the tourney. They got some of that zenkai boost shit on their side.

NA is kinda quiet with regards to their fanbase. Idk what it is about optic (I know they are a big org), but they just aren't an org that people cheer for often lol. Might just be me, but they don't give me that C9, 100t, TSM big org vibe.

To me, guard is the type of team that will lose the first match but absolutely clap back on the second match hard. Best analogy would be like DBZ fighting shit or "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" type vibe.

Basically, they might lose a match, but they'll make an absolute comeback against any team the second time around during the tourney.

Peak SEN wouldn't even make it out of challengers right now.

there are several thousand more tenz fans...

I mean, Sick playing with JasonR has literally NOTHING to do with what JasonR's current problems. Those two things are independent and should be treated as independent. Sick isn't defending nor justifying JasonR, he's just there to play valorant.

I'm not going to defend their actions. I was just citing something that was said.

With regards to what I stated, in the ec1s interview by Upcomer (around 11 min), they cited IGL issues where it was "my way or the highway." The one about steel not working hard enough was something Hiko said now that I think about it.

I think in the ec1s interview, it was hinted that Steel wasn't working hard enough either

Good luck on the exam.

Rossy is like 19 or something. Slightly older but they are both really young talent.

I think Rossy and Bang are both upcoming young talent. Swapping Rossy with Bang or vice versa wouldn't change TSM's winrate at the moment (which is currently positive).

I don't think I would put them on my NA top 3 list at the moment when teams like V1, Xset, the Guard, C9, and Optic are around.

There's 😐 always 😫 someone 👨🤷 in B Main 💦 , and it just had to be 😤😮 Subroza 🥶🥶🥶

"Chapter 1: Aleko dies, Chapter 2: Rossy gets the kill, Chapter 3: we will see!"

"The weeb king is taken out which sucks since I am a weeb myself"

"But he's subrozaaaaaaa, zappin sippin" (or something like that)

Dude, I love these casters. It is such a new vibe LMAO

Meanwhile oil prices and natural gas are through the roof.....

Technically, the last time TSM won an ACTUAL tourney, was when subroza was igling so...

wait what

It's actually really sad to see this.....I feel so bad.

Bro I'm sorry but this is just so wrong.....

Isn't the ruling that if you use jett's passive ability to get up there, only then it is illegal? If you do it by jumping it is legal?

There was a two shot judge play on A site that ended up in an ace. I forgot what game it was though.

Honestly, I don't think Shahz is THAT great on sova. It could be because when I watched Sentinels back in the day with Sinatraa, sinatraa seemed a LOT better so it could be the Sinatraa v Shahzam sova thing in my head clouding my judgement.
