XLG more likely than EDG

beat my team with f0rsaken being the worst player on his team

i’m not sure if it’s illegal, but supposedly kr teams didn’t get in trouble for it

no

who’s we

wait what??? i thought drx and fnatic made santiago…

how does he have such a high rating consistently

employed by jessievash

there’s 10 other teams playing primarily double duelist & pacific is already most used to that kind of playstyle

true they should be higher but how is G2 number 1

his awareness is quite good if you watched him play

absolutely no correlation

i enjoy his insights personally and i feel better watching him whenever my teams are on the brink of elimination because of different atmospheres

Aren’t you forgetting a team?

yoru double recon omen chamber

if the same exact roster (players, coaching staff, management, basic) were playing under another org such as sen or 100t, would people still underrate them or place them a bit higher in predictions? i feel like furia being historically bad definitely impacted that despite the fact that they went for a complete rebuild

seven would also make more sense since he has chemistry with vora temutino and nbs 🗿

realistically they should just let this roster gel more and carry on for stage 1, they showed some promise

we have mfs calling marteen the best player itw

drop asuna for seven

you just described jonahp

incorrect

Literally half the teams here are newcomers

nats is still mad about the 1v1 on fracture

if anything i feel like t1 is the least hyped team (not by me though i think they will do well at the event)

From premier to masters winners

maybe they need to be the 3rd seed for once and scrape by to make internationals so they get underestimated

if they don’t win santiago then never pred them as the favorite ever again

i agree

it’s great that g2 finally changed styles but they shouldn’t be ranked 2nd solely because of that

their performances are not reliant on buzz having a good series, they’ve won a good amount of games with him performing average or below average. matter of fact he’s not even their best player

t1 didn’t struggle that much in this kickoff, they looked slowly better and better and swept the middle bracket. sure they’re not perfect by any means but improvement is showing

some of yall really hate t1 huh

i can def see a team gimmick this comp on corrode

on what map asides from abyss

happy birthday i hope you enjoyed your day 😊

Beating the goat hyunmin and prime flashback was more impressive

PRX and NRG’s trophy wins weren’t impressive either would you agree?

really? i heard it was only in stage 2

keiko was worried about not meeting nats so he locked tf in

wasn’t the IGL when that happened

Miniboo and hyunmin clears

strong start in china looking like the clear best team but eventually cooled off in the bo5s, they made a lot of mistakes in those matches particularly due to nerves but other than that they’re still one of chinas best teams. nrg should be comfortable but happywei and rarga is a strong duo

overall alright with potential to be great

with jingg and something on the roster? no place for him sadly

I switched to DRX to support them for champs but i eventually began to like hyunmin (and free1ng for some reason) a lot so I chose to stick to it but I am supporting T1 for santiago

really? that’s cool to hear, very excited to see what they cook up

Ironic 😭

koalanoob and artzin are good players
