BOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMBBOMB

Someone's getting fired and it's not the ones begging not to

blud thinks yt premium money goes to the youtubers 💀💀

me on brave: i have no such weaknesses

The standings table has both "offline" and "playoff" potential based on match performances

idk the difference someone plz explain

If SZ lose this they're on fraud watch

you literally have more posts on here than me

I think replace Wolves with anyone in B tier

Alright boys i kinda need help with the whole gf thing

I haven't had much of a social circle in college since I don't live in a dorm

nah governor's alright i think

pain

you would know a thing or two about coves...

it's just the cgrs punching bag yapping, dw

where redlight vcj resumes when you need them :sob:

TLDR the team splintered into crazyguy vs Sscary sometime during their Ascension run. There's a pretty heavy implication that Yay got involved in the split, likely siding with Sscary.

Dude was the main reason I supported Bleed in Pacific and they just booted him after 2 franchising matches where he didn't even play that badly

it's so fucking over bros

Smartest SEN fan:

How yall think C9 Zander would work out

bro just didn't want to eat the wing lmao it's not that deep

Nah most improved in China should've went to FengF or Kai (unless they were also good before kickoff i actually don't know)

mb i swore they played against acend for some reason

it's still insane that their closest map win was a 13-4

wtf happened weren't they like 3-0 in the regular season after playing acend

https://x.com/Akame_o3/status/1764132865401606316?s=20 the only time someone posted gojou before a match and won

imma be real with u a good chunk of why i supported bleed was crazyguy

this shit aint it bro

They hated him for he told the truth

I want to cheer for Sen winning something after so long but i don't want to be associated with the sen city mongrels

Hearing someone use chud unironically should be classified as a human rights violation

i don't think sitting on the computer all day and yelling about people who criticize him is "fighting injustice" bro

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS PUT EGOIST ON VIPER

vietbros it's so over

trace would wreck the shit out of fpx

bro get me on that kinda shit I need to rank up

that doesn't mean EVERYONE leaves the site

nah fpx fuckin threw breeze

why would you all leave A open just to gang up on the lurker

Doesn't bro just take the comms without understanding any of it

I know you're better than this

you don't have shit either

Playoff teams:
EDG looked a bit shaky in their one match against Wolves but are still the favorites to win the tournament
FPX also look really strong and are also favorites to get the Madrid slot
DRG are surprisingly good, showing their Ascension win wasn't a fluke
TE look pretty solid and FengF is fucking frying (rooting for them to make Madrid)

Playin teams:
BLG look pretty underwhelming, their only strong win was against a mentally wrecked TEC
TEC looked good at the beginning but became Rb and friends at the playins

Everyone else:
JDG is just stew and friends at this point
Wolves didn't look too bad for being a newer team
TYLOO, AG, NOVA don't look too great

FengF dropping 70:

WHAT'S THE COLOR?

booted up my pc

WHAT'S THE COLOR?

what does bro have against esperanza

Alleged geospliced backup account here

Part of me doesn't want that to happen, since that would mean EDG wouldn't make it to an international event, but a TE upset would bring some more attention to the Chinese league and show how it isn't just EDG and a bunch of no-names. Also FengF has been going insane in the Kickoff and I would love to see him perform at a Masters event.

Rb got that stew experience

Yeah, since TEC's mental has to be in the shitter rn

Then again I'm a G2 flair so people aren't gonna take me seriously anyway :shrug:

CN Kickoff Play-In: BilliBilli Gaming vs Titan Esports Club

BLG Brief Information: BilliBilli Gaming started their Kickoff run on the wrong foot, losing 2-0 to a newly-minted Wolves roster in their opening match. Fortunately for BLG, they returned the favor in the deciding match, after Wolves faced an expected loss against the giants of Edward Gaming. BLG 2-0'ed Wolves back to secure the play-in spot for Group C. Knight came up with the best numbers on the squad, going negative in only one map in the group stage. Biank has also shown some improvement ever since moving the IGL role to B3ar, who replaced rin from the original roster. After a very dissappointing off-season, with 5-8th place finishes in the first two Evolution acts and not even qualifying for the third, BLG hope to prove their fabled upsets against NRG at last year's Champions wasn't a fluke

TEC Brief Information: Titan Esports Club won 18-16 against Trace Esports and then forgot how to play against Trace Esports, with 6-13 and 8-13 losses on Lotus and Split respectively. Several rounds of the previous series makes TEC look more like Rb and friends, with Rb topping his team on three different agents with pretty much no help sometimes. Qiuye especially underperformed against TE, going 11 rounds on Lotus without getting a single kill. TEC's chances of clinching playoffs are already becoming slim, and they would need to pull out a win against BLG to stay afloat.

BLG Players to Watch: Knight was performing pretty consistently in the group stage, even when BLG weren't at their best. Biank and whzy, while not exactly back in their clutching and Judge-spamming times of months past, showed some flashes of mechanical skill here and there.

TEC Players to Watch: Rb was hard carrying his team against TE; his 4k in Breeze OT looked something out of a ranked montage.

Prediction: Considering TEC has to play immediately after their loss, 2-0 BLG
