It's simply unprofessional to badmouth your own players on reddit, among other things. As a coach, he really should have better emotional awareness. But like I said, he's doing a respectable job overall.

MIBR genuinely has all the ingredients to be a top-level team. The only shocking part is that they might already get results this early on.

And KRÜ has always been capable of this. They're just kind of a wild card.

It really wasn't all that wtf they were just better

This type of transitive comparison doesn't always work. Kru themselves got smoked by loud two weeks ago

Both. Cauanzin and v1nny were just not shooting, and kru have looked wayy better since that first series.

KRU faced G2 four times last year and lost every single time. They have a tendency to stack up and aggressively contact their way into fights at the expense of map control, which ironically helps them do really well on defense against teams that are expecting a more default spread, and worse on attack because they get themselves encircled.

G2 is a slow, util-forward team that tries to identify enemy positions before committing to plays. On Ascent attack, it was common for them to have Sova sit in tiles for a while, drone out in the middle of the round, and then kill defenders who thought they could walk up and are now caught in the open. G2 is a lot more likely to spot what KRU is doing before it's too late.

SEN I give better odds against but their retake-heavy approach to defense is still worrying. I don't see them giving up numbers advantages easily.

I would like to see it but SEN and G2 playstyles really hard counter them and also they seem intent on letting Haven through

at least they looked good doing it unlike lulquid

Same and it's fuckin brutal. I should just duo queue but I don't play at consistent times anyway

Only player to reach top 3 at champs for three years in a row and you think he's playing for vlr rating?

G2 is overrated right now. Still good, but overrated. It's loseable

not a fluke when most of the teams in the league are just worse

crws is a good igl all things considered, leave him out of this

artzin is only higher because he was on Raze in the third game. If you look at just the first two then yes aspas had substantially more first duels

Because they ran double duelist on 26 of those rounds

And what load of help you were

That's what I thought, thank you

I checked four different sources that didn't confirm it, so yes I did get my answer faster

L

Will it be the same as right now or the -abyss/bind +ascent/icebox?

SEN probably destroy KRU if they let Haven through again. I feel like mibr has way better odds to upset and make Bangkok

if fut doesn't stomp lulquid I will eat my words

no I was talking about lulquid

KRÜ vs mibr is a toss-up imo

they play a competent team next dw their run stops now

KRÜ the BR/NA slayer or TLN the Korea slayer

nah it's all good I'm cool with KRÜ and mibr advancing

nvm loud are throwers 😔

I wanna know why tf they didn't ban their worst and Loud's best map

Baffles me that people still think Melser should be dropped

gg

Surely ends up a top team by the end of the year no? Two rookies and little practice and we're seeing them improve so much over the course of just the lower bracket

Tbf 5th place is a great showing for a team straight out of tier 2. They have a lot of potential for the rest of the year

I'm down

If NS can't beat talon do you really think they'd do well at bangkok

If they weren't good maybe NS should've capitalized on it. But they didn't. So now what?

Jitboys is cracked idk what to tell you

You mean spraying very narrow chokes with a phantom while NS walks up like bots?

Pistols are a skill issue. TLN was way more coordinated in their team fights.

Jitboys erasure

Jitboys and Primmie hard carry. Crws doesn't frag much but he's igl, translator, and solo initiator so it's okay

fr0st is actually a decent coach all things considered he's just very unlikeable

Sounds like it

Didn't know until just now that crws has to translate between English and Thai midround in addition to IGLing. Surely he'd put up way better numbers without that mental stack

Only one on talon positive in fk/fd this series and he went 7/2

The guy is insane. His aim and brain carrying this team alongside Primmie ngl

I give crws a break because he's igl and their macro is actually pretty solid

and get a new coach

God forbid

Was the only guy to pred KRÜ and mibr today, maybe he's onto something...

Most of these come down to drastic roster changes so yes they're believable in the context of not knowing wtf will happen over the course of a year

For example, if you told me Furia won champs next year I'd be like uhh okay but then maybe they picked up aspas, lukzo, cauanzin, and frod and it wouldn't be all that shocking

Yeah these are all pretty believable esp when lulquid got there by beating bottom 4 teams
