bro can be playing the game with a damn fishing rod and still win

whose idea was it to play split against benjyfishy

There was a clip of him telling some guy in ranked to rope himself but that was like 2 years ago

Also they were down 2-12, people change at that scoreline lol

13-6
13-4

Bro got cooked

Told you he needed time

Someone got shredded by a Sova through the Ascent B site wall

How are you down 1-10 attack side on the attack map

TH players are like 5 years younger on average lol

All Vitality had to do was to beat a winless KOI

Didn't know lurking Reyna was a vct strat

Fuckin Vitality gifted these lolquid bots a playoff spot with a giant red ribbon attatched to it

it's 23 cents brotha just look underneath the couch or smthn

Crest Gaming avenging step 1 completed

"SEN Fan was here"
"How could you tell?"
"Downvotes on any criticism"

oh no I don't particularly support the team i just put on the flair of the next team to face bleed

Chad G2: gets 14 rounds to kick SEN out of playoffs and then check out

this almost happened with SCARZ in Japan, thankfully they rebuilt their roster and looks to be in better form

gogogo

alright bring it

If Murash wins this the viewership for split 2 would go insane but I think Crest clears here

RIDDLE should win this easily but I'm kinda biased because I find that VARREL is boring as hell to watch

I want the reaver karambit in my store one day

whenever i hear the statement "people who complain about bad thing are more annoying than people who support bad thing" i automatically assume that person supports bad thing

The response to this vs when SEN does it is literally just rizz vs sexual harassment

Both Tixx and Yotaa have been consistently top fragging in their respective leagues, so I'd say they're solid.

you guys need not-year-old strats and comps

tbf T1 vs DFM was kinda just a perfect storm of circumstances for T1 that caused them to lose

What if I have a flair to hate on another team

VCJ Split 2 Advance Stage: SCARZ vs Crest Gaming Zst

SZ Brief Information: Being the runner-ups of last year's Ascension tournament, there was a lot of hype behind this team, even as some of their star players left for other opportunities. However, it's safe to say they did NOT live up to those expectations in Split 1. They ended the split with a 2-5 record, which understandably warranted a rebuild for this split. SCARZ decided to get two more imports, with Tixx from the Oceania region, and Yotaa coming all the way from the French league. Both of these players looked the best on their respective former teams, so it will be exciting to see them play. Hopefully we can see this team make a huge comeback to qualify for Ascension once more.

CGZ Brief Information: After choking to the worst team in Split 1 in open qualifiers, Crest Gaming Zst is back to take on Split 2. CGZ is a very strong team that has a solid pool of proven talents. However, they garnered a lot of attention for their two cracked prodigies, HYUNMIN and DH. These two top fragged in every Premier stage match and in pretty dominant fashion. They managed to make it out of Group B, which was definitely the scarier of the two groups. Their only loss was against FAV Gaming in the finals, who admittedly also deserved to be in Split 2, but it was a very close game and they got their revenge in the grand finals.

SZ Players to Watch: Tixx and Yotaa are making their debut in the Japanese league. Based off their old performances, I think they will put up a good fight should they qualify.

CGZ Players to Watch: Definitely HYUNMIN and DH for sure. These two are cracked in their own ways; HYUNMIN is an insane duelist and DH flexed on three different roles in the Premier stage. I know someone here is very excited to watch them play.

Prediction: Since I haven't seen much of SCARZ's new players, I'm going to say Crest takes this 2-0. However, if Tixx and Yotaa prove to be insane, I would say the lead would go down to 2-1.

VCJ Split 2 Advance Stage: IGZIST vs RIDDLE ORDER

IGZ Brief Information: Had a life game against Crest Gaming Zst in Split 1 open qualifiers and then proceeded to be the worst team in that split. None of their games looked particularly close and the players looked super inconsistent. I think it has to be a coaching issue from last year since GangPin and Thiefy looked good after they left the team. With HaReeee rumored to join NORTHEPTION, we might see a similar trend. However, I don't even think that 1 hour in a room with no police interference is going to save this team.

RIDDLE Brief Information: The other streamer org, RIDDLE is known for being owned by Vodka. They have some exciting pickups for the 2024 season, picking up the remainder of ZETA DIVISION's Academy roster, the Korean Jett Seoldam, and former VCJ winner JoxJo who was signed for this split. In Split 1 open qualifiers, they lost to Murash Gaming in the grand finals. However, RIDDLE looks to be in way better form going into the advance stage.

IGZ Players to Watch: idk maybe Kobra? He usually gets positive scorelines in the Split 1 matches. The rest seem to be on a sinking ship tho.

RIDDLE Players to Watch: This team has a lot of clouted signings going into this split, especially Seoldam and JoxJo. However, I'm going to look out for Aace. One look at his Twitter clips and you'll see a plethora of the guy just hitting the wildest shots imaginable. Yatsuka is also a strong player, being the top-rated player from the Premier stage.

Prediction: RIDDLE 2-0 ez

KRU already first seed, LEV needs to win to get first seed

G2 doesn't even have to win a map they just need 14 rounds

mfs when scan initiators use their scan abilities to get kills

like lmao just shoot the dart

I think TEC can pull out the win for playoffs, NOVA hasn't looked the best even with Swerl

Its not like they changed anything

That's the problem

If this was posted a few weeks ago I would've said get Yoshiii off of SCARZ but we'll just see how Tixx and Yotaa play out the second split first

tbf the way omen's played is so fundamentally different from the other controllers (outside of maybe clove) that there isn't really a viable way to nerf him

Damn group B is NOT friendly, both of these teams should be in split 2

They qualified by beating out shitter teams they could've aim diffed anyway; when faced off against actual teams they fall apart from all the antistratting

Not playing for a good regional placement is the dumbest shit I've ever heard, if you play well regionally you get better playoff chances. This isn't 2023, they don't have a free Masters ticket anymore

Elmapuddy changes one agent from last year's team comps and decides that's enough meta innovation for the entire year

Team with RX in their acronym wins

generally they go by map diff first then round diff

Bruh that map 1 had TenTen get more kills than the other team combined

egg diabl0/11

On one hand anyone escaping IGZIST is a good move

On the other I don't see that working at all

Also where do people usually find Japanese scrimbux?

The world if leagues allowed 2 import slots

They transferred Yowamu into BC SWELL even though Split 2 is starting in a few days

Anyone know who they might replace him with?

Lmao just shoot the trip bozo

I saw tgrd 13-0 100t once and just followed their initiator player (I play initiator)

Wish there was a Turkish stream cause I feel like the casting on that would go so hard
