by the way none of these are in order i just named players that are mostly in tier 1

i feel for AE

DFM 2-0 LULQUID

this is some sen vs eg type shit except edg barely practiced this time around

I know this is just off season, but it is genuinely not a bad idea to try this out, mako has weight of his shoulder and can focus on fragging and second calling

sugarz3ro will be back to conquer the world with his astra

taking a break, he’s exempt from doing military service due to being on the waiting list for too long + being too short

doesn’t change the fact that fNaTiC wAs nEver GrEaT 🤪

fair, i just hope they don’t do another life on viper situation

kinggg in 2023

based from the games we saw, is the double controller comp (jett kayo omen sova astra) the go to meta comp? the map is still new ofc but i think this’ll be the meta assuming omen isn’t affected on abyss, thoughts ?

TEs ascent concerns me, kangkang and smoggy want to go back to vacation, wolves looks really good imo, although BLG got eliminated in the asia off season event, they are showing some promises
FPX has a LOT of question marks

unless you’re kinggg

brawk

i watched c0m lose two close upper finals games (11-6 vs PRX and 11-8 vs EDG) 😭

also on a side note, i’ve noticed that all the americas teams got the contracts updated in the database yet the emea teams who currently announced their roster doesn’t

this team is quite literally the definition of aspas and friends since he actually built the team and hand picked the players with frod

definitely a warm take but definitely has to be uppers, you’re like two rounds away from making the it to the finals and then the enemy team starts to slowly crawl up down like 8-11 or something and takes the series away from you and eventually being eliminated in the lower final

tbh the stage 2 final was so winnable if we didn’t choke two OTs, stage 1 we had no chance because of the long lower final bo5 that took like 6 hours to finish

which 2 players did lev change? i know one was c0m

they didn’t drop mazino, his contract was about to expire with lev and they wanted to retain him

both are controllers though… interesting to see who switches roles

in 820 rounds btw

they are all jinggg fans

TH
GenG
LOUD but barely
FNC (play style diff)

this is about groups not semis

drx always finishes first in groups

A: EG, FNC
B: OpTic, PRX
C: GenG, EDG
D: DRX, LOUD

9-3 curse —> 13-0 the opponent

everyone literally blames jinggg

TH 6-0 the same fpx core it isn’t even comparable

24 lev would be too inconsistent to be there ngl

same but let’s be real 2021 sen would get demolished

2022 loud
depends on if you think benkai era or something era was better
2023 eg
2024 heretics
50/50
2024 geng

2021 sen over 2024 geng???

who do you think should’ve won champs then?

he actually talks about sage mommy?

smoggy was better in champs overall except for the final, even when they were struggling hard in shanghai smoggy was still their top performer

zmjjkk and smoggy were on vacation and from the looks of it they only practiced ascent which is going away next episode

smoggy was better and more consistent than zmjjkk through out the year. i think they’ll have a slow start in form in bangkok but be better in toronto and paris, will be much harder to win another trophy because every team will have their eyes set on them

i think m8 deserves to be higher (to C/B) G2 minimum C tier imo

i think NRG was better when they had the white logo

just vibes, people watch him for his entertainment not necessarily for his gameplay

you missed DFM doing the funny i guess

everyone associated him with being the best raze even when jawgemo diffed him though. then zekken came by and he was considered as one of the best, it went downhill in shanghai and nobody considers him as a top tier raze anymore, sucks to see

started hanging out with subroza and shanks, eventually he made a name for himself as he did more content with them (i think he blew up when he started to break his webcam a lot?)

he established himself and has more viewership than subroza now

am i passive aggressive? my apologies for that

got one question though, why do you have an edg flair if you think their run was mickey mouse?

Don’t have any old names. I don’t have anything against you though, 100x better than azzelastia

they already shown great promises in the radiant asia event but i don’t wanna get my hopes up just yet, but im glad they’re not bottom feeders anymore

the #1 thing i want to happen next year is to see meiy qualify to an international event 🐐
