everything is going wrong

if anything, skill ceiling was lower in 2023

he’s salty edg won

2024 champs 1st place was 2023 champs top 6 (with haodong btw) 0/8

2023 4th place got 13-1’d by drx, would’ve had a hard time vs eg especially considering they got better after tokyo and improved their map pool

2024 was way more competitive than 2023 be for real. i dont even think edg and th reached their peaks yet

luckily fnatic only played one game at the KIA arena because everyone would’ve fallen asleep watching them play

For the first half of the year probably, c0m was playing better after shanghai though whereas lakia didn’t really move an inch

he’s a good initiator player but shit at fragging, how about that?

BLG 2-0 DRX

turns out they took bind and lost 1-3 instead 😭

nats should go to edward gaming

he’s an insane player and m8 are building an underrated roster (goked bout to have a random ahh redemption arc)

demon1 was seen playing neon in scrims and he plays it a lot in ranked too

less was playing like the best player in the world vs emea teams in champs 2023 he don’t care

i think they might move away from harbor tbh, mazino was just so naturally good at the agent that it was hard to ignore, but then again demon1 isn’t your typical entry

you should’ve posted this 3 days later

ive lost my mind ive never been this insane before

i thought it would’ve prevented the crash outs aswell 😭 anyways what are your thoughts on lev natank?

does that mean no more crash outs on VLR??

i’ve been doing good thx for asking

what’s good bro

avez is a second caller and he didn’t play bad at all

friendly fire to boo

fair point but it was different with lev imo, like the team just felt dead yk, also no way c0m suddenly played well the moment goked was out.

anyways i hope he gets his redemption arc in m8

he’s talkin about the first map of that series, something definitely was going on because lev had so many winnable rounds and threw it away even after many timeouts

leviatan, shaky top 3 finish in stage 1 and a really bad showing in shanghai, and when he got replaced they became a significantly better team so people see that and conclude he was the problem on that team.

also idk what drugs itopata and juvenile gave to c0m but he suddenly started to play way better which im obv happy to see

fair point

kc is the only emea team that actually represents emea

europe - marteen, suygetsu, engh, fistie
middle east - elite
africa - avez, ze1sh

south america - saadhak

2 times champs winner* no mvp sadly

KC saadhak >>>> KC Saadhak

it’s just the truth

ge should disband if they lose to 100t on their worst day

honestly all of the kc players names minus elite gain more aura with lowercase

avez, saadhak, marteen, suygetsu >>

GE would need a significant weaker team on paper to beat a stronger team if their playoff qualification depends on them 🗿

ge unironically has a better chance at beating 100t because they are somehow more inconsistent than the most inconsistent team in americas, lev

& edg

avez just came today so i’ll give kc the benefit of the doubt, i would only really judge them when they play in red bull

shaky but it was to be expected, FAR better mid rounding however

100t lost to a 0-5 furia and a torn apart loud so tbh in the right circumstances they can lol

he’s building up confidence for him and his team which is good but it also makes ge fans extra delusional compared to before because

the teleport is a really unique gimmick on bind along with no mid, on top of that there are various of comps you can play on that map as opposed to ascent where the gameplan is so stale lol

munchkin doesn’t have that much time left because he hasn’t done his military service. best he could do is re-sign and hope he can win more trophies

meteor on the other hand wanted more money, a player of his caliber deserves a team that has good working conditions and can pay for his salary, geng had good working conditions but couldn’t pay more money to keep meteor

mxs should look for t2 talent im ngl, with 1 or 2 t1 players

yeah but i’ve seen more towards boaster tbh

he was playing with derke and alfajer since 2022, made a top 4 finish in copenhagen and top 6 in istanbul with enzo and mistic who people talk down on lol. he wasn’t that far behind in 2022 in copenhagen in placement same with istanbul specially since optic had prime yay who was clearly better than everyone else (2022 yay > 2023 chronicle and leo)

boaster and fns can igl without extra midround help which will tank their stats heavily but still bring results even if the outcome might not be as they hope. it’s just that boaster got a better result

he did NOT come in clutch in stage 2 lol, they managed to win only one game. if they made playoffs then sure

letting fns get a pass who is as terrible mechanically as boaster who’s proven to be a better igl than fns from 2023 til now is just as strange no?

stay safe out there

wouldn’t it also depend with boaster as well then? they also have everything to make this year better than last years especially with leo coming back

would you agree that fns is also stealing paychecks?

icebox out and lotus out, split and pearl in. This is a good map pool for them imo, they can run raze fade/skye breach omen cypher/viper and achieve success on split.

that’s fine but they said “lucky again” which is what prompted me to ask that question. thats like saying lev is lucky to be top 3, or sentinels top 4

TH can match their firepower well & know how to work around EMEA pace so yea i agree

that is if g2 can get over the pressure of making champs

dominant lotus is crazy when you consider that they’ve been banning it all year 😭

he was playing in JP for 2 years and CN for 1 year, so arguably yes pacific was more appealing to him as he got more offers there
