Levi isnt good lil bro

It would be best if americas got the slot to be honest simply because Lets assume C9 and Navi are favorites at LCQ, who else from EMEA is better than Furia or Sentinels. But whoever wins it wins it can't really complain

There's no comparing them until they play I guess, The Union is on a way better win streak though so I'd pick them without anything else to compare them with.

Derke, he's been a top 5 player for most of the games existence and has one less masters than chronicle while being relevant for far more time. If you wanna say chronicle has more achievements but Nats was arguably more important to gambit and Leo was definitely more important at lock//in

ur right sen Levi and c9 should be guaranteed top 3 tbh and Sen has the best roster on paper depends on if Kaplan is a top tier coach or not, now is the time for him to prove it. If potter can do this with EG kinda makes you wonder how much potential other teams could have with that good a grasp on the meta

neither should scare the union lol but definitely not fusion lmfao

Levi is prob bottom 3 team in americas because of their mentality only lol I don't even really think their roster is that good that it could carry their shit non-innovative playstyle

You can have a favorite but league is the best ran esports scene, by far. CS may be more entertaining but League is the most sustainable and profitable for all parties involved.

both qualify anyways

nah franchised allows for continuity and stability, it's the first year. Riot knows how to handle esports scenes better than 14 year old pretend economists on VLR. League is the best Esports scene for a reason lol, not every single team is gonna be able to profit in esports, but none do and thats not on riot or franchising rather just a short stall for growth in esports overall. Every team has money issues franchised or not.

MIBR won both their maps like 13-7 and 13-6 no clutch or hero play was the reason EG qualified, simply MIBR was better.

you can't really draw a 7 team tournament because one team just gets randomly fucked

Leo won Fnatic's toughest series for them so far, so I'd say him easily.

Y0Y is on a list in 2023 tears

this is really confusing they could just fix the seeds to be purely based on playoff finish and then after based on league seed for the 7-10 seed. and why cant there just be two lowers semis lol

sen just need time Kaplan made the current core that dominates challengers in NA

top 10 atm is just the 10 fnatic and eg starters I fear

different matchup and a bad day I fear

lil bro takes shit too serious lol EG went from clown status to god tier in 4 weeks but sentifrauds have 0 chance apparently.. shit changes quick in esports

they are like hilariously inconsistent lol what? At times they look like the best team on the planet and at other times they are losing to MIBR. NRG can stomp EG one week then lose the next

dw sentiluls will carry in champs

they are inconsistent

why are you trying to downplay cgrs like he's a random lol NRG fans are so salty rn lol

tbf CGRS is like an apac AIM legend from MITH it's not like losing to shroud more like losing to Sinatraa in 2023 after 2 years off

you lost to a streamer

I didnt say nrg was lucky I said liquid choked, it's okay liquid chokes a lot it's in their DNA

yeah but idk what ur point is. I said EG and Fnatic have the two best supporting casts lol it's a fair bit easier to succeed on those teams than it is on say liquid or even loud where they have struggling players lol it was just a joke anyways not really serious sayf was never going to keep up the insane form from the first 7 games of league play lol

actually they're the avengers

both derke and demon1 have the avengers and justice league to support them this is why sayf is the goat he wins with botgar j0mpii and soulcass on his team

he's one of the best igls just one of the worst players lol

they didn't bomb out they lost to optic lol

why are you coping, losing a 5-11 is a throw not a omg nrg showed they were so much better lmfao. liquid choked and nrg won it's okay, I don't care but to say otherwise is bs lmfao liquid was losing close rounds too towards the end they never won in the fashion liquid did. It's cool that NA is advancing but be serious

nah bro 3 weeks isnt leaving any team mentally drained, they have plenty of staff and these players aren't as used as much as some other sports. European football and basketball players are actually drained not esports pros who have entire staffs to worry about the tactical and mental sides

yeah the main three is bilibilli and ASE but bilibilli just beat ASE twice before tokyo so I got them finishing second seed. ASE might not finish third either the FPX roster is looking a little better

there's plenty of time for EDG it starts in like July it's not like they're basketball players who are physically drained

I don't think they're above any particularly good teams though, makes sense. who knows for certain but they have a better roster on paper for sure

PRX EDG T1 DRX

ASE isn't the second best Chinese team billibilli gaming is and secret is better than both.

those guys weren't high level in csgo lol, T1 in APAC or NA isn't actually T1 in csgo like it is in VAL. they also weren't really good awpers. Being from a cs background doesn't mean you're a good awper

nah I think the EG vs FNC finals is guaranteed here ngl

navi is washed sadly cned is a huge downgrade on ardiis

T1 would beat DRX in a series rn though lol. T1 was 1-2 in groups but played way better vs NRG and beat a very good EDG team even if they didnt deserve that win IMO. Roster wise T1+ mako is more talented than DRX but who knows everything else that goes into roster building.

who cares what he thinks, liquid lost like 5-11 or some shit thats a choke, would be easy 2-0 if they could close out one round lmfao. NRG also didn't throw that many rounds, even if they did liquid played out a 13-10 win in map 1 until postplants. NRG needs to be better going forward.

NA has more talent, and the best T2 scene, not close either. C9 and EG proved it. Turkish t2 is good but the rest in EMEA is pretty lackluster, as you can see that ex fnatic players who failed internationally are running T2 in EMEA whereas in NA you have T2 players who struggled like C0M dominating internationally atm. I feel like ATM EU just has the best rosters in Fnatic and Liquid talent wise but overall NA has the biggest talent pool. Sentinels is a good example of that too if you just go by talent.

Feel like Mako should realize T1 with -bang +mako is prob the best team in APAC by a decent margin. IDK tho gonna be an interesting transfer window in that league

EDG would ruin NRG ngl, they didn't exactly outplay liquid considering Liquid threw like 5 rounds that coulda won 2-0

Prob gonna see Vision Strikers core breakup finally if they dont finish top 5 at champs, which honestly they have a low chance to lol, Both the other Korean teams have arguably better futures. Mako could go to T1 and they would be guaranteed a top 8 team itw. Losing to PRX with a washed streamer is next level bad

The student is allowed to surpass the teacher lil bro, I was js joking bc kangkang uses the sovereign lol

KangKang is def a fan lil bro he's running the OPAC skin package and the OPAC animations pack. T3 sub for 40 months fasho

KangKang is definitely an OPAC student, we should give credit to his idol

Yeah but there's a lot more incentive for those orgs to really pressure players to be good, since franchising all teams have more incentive to become good, this year there wasn't a lot of available talent but next season all regions will improve massively after poaching tf out of T2. China just has insane aimers and I wouldn't be surprised if eventually some elite gamers from other teams switch over.
