Trace probably have the easiest road to top 8 out of all the chinese teams. Vitality and Talon are both winnable matches for them.

j0nggg come

The only thing we could be confident about is GenG coming out on top. I think TH are too inexperienced to win an international right now and I don't understand why anyone would pick them as a top choice to win champs. SEN look like they've taken a dip in quality again (I still expect them to play well). FPX will either go crazy or look like total shit, not sure. This is the worst I've seen FPX look since Madrid.

Honestly I think Group C is way more interesting than Group D. Only matchup that really interesting is the PRX/G2 rematch in my opinion. I'm not really looking forward to anything with EDG, especially not another EDG/PRX match. Group C is sort of a question mark group. We haven't seen 3/4 teams on the stage this year. Will Trace impress or look like a bum team? Will Primmie go crazy on an international stage? Will Vitality choke?

Never saw that video before, yay is 100% spot on about Kai. His mechanics are absolutely unbelievable.

Honestly can't wait for paper rex to play like morons and lose in an international again just so their fans can eat shit lmao, obviously not all of their fans are toxic but so many of them are just bitter people

FPX and GenG win these ngl

world aint ready for Kai (if hes on jett)

predicting FPX miracle run and DRX/KRU getting bilibili'd, I have hopium

This is either going to be a close 2-1 game or a FUT 2-0 stomp. I want EDG to do well but their previous international performances concern me.

FPX vs TH should be very close, I could see FPX winning that one. Maybe Trace pulls an upset? Probably not since Sayf might go crazy.

G2-1 PRX, but maybe PRX get revenge?

FUT 2-1 EDG
Not buying an EDG win on an international stage just yet but this might be a close 50/50 game

This is one of the '???' opening round matchups for champs. Logic tells me VIT 2-0 but I have no idea how Trace is going to look on the international stage. Part of me feels an upset cooking.

LEV 2-1 Talon
primmie tries his hardest

FPX 2-1 TH
could go either way, should be an insane game

DRX 2-0
KRU are getting grouped

GenG 2-0 SEN
SEN are literally in their weakest form right now you bums are getting grouped kek

Bilibili 2-0 FNC I'm afraid :c sorry hiro

TH vs FPX is actually going to be an amazing game

You know what's going to happen

Holy FUCK FPX have had the worst year ever lmao, getting smoked by EDG in 3 grand finals, losing out in close games to the top 2 teams in Shanghai and now being in the group of death. I just want berlin to do well, man.

I think Trent is one of the most overrated players going into Champs tbh. He underperformed heavily in Shanghai and hasn't been 'the best initiator in america' that some said about him.

Mazino has been having quietly great games for awhile but this was a BIG MATCH PERFORMANCE

boo really told the org "trust me, my brother will be your superstar duelist" keke

Duelist:T3xture
Controller: Karon
Initiator: Lakia
Flex: F0rsaken
Sentinel: Meteor

Duelist: Sayf
Controller: Boo
Initiator: Trexx (Chronicle or Riens could be argued as #1)
Flex: Wo0t
Sentinel: Alfajer

Duelist: KangKang
Controller: Smoggy
Initiator: AAAAY
Flex: Autumn
Sentinel: Yosemite

I think a lot of it comes from Icy not really being a 'superstar duelist' like a jawg, jingg, oxy, etc. He's not really flashy or always exciting to watch. But he works well within the system that valyn has.

g2 were cleared by geng it wasnt even close

getting cleared by icy lmao asp0s keke

aspas keke

I'm not high on LEV as others are but their performance throughout split 2 was definitely insane and they've mostly kept form through playoffs even with some shaky maps. I could see them at least making top 8 at champs quite easily. Not sure from there.

You can't sneak in EDG like that

is it?

the man has aura you have to admit it

berlin reverse sweep imminent sorry bud

Every game he thinks he's the best player in the world and has zero respect for his opponents. Vo0kashu said there's a chinese player mentality of "I have to drop 30 so my team can win" and Life is the perfect example of that. A disciplined duelist is better than a duelist that thinks he can just shit on everyone and drop 30.

DRX is incapable of beating PRX so you have to take it with a grain of salt, but they may very well be cooked

I don't know why DRX fans continue to glaze Buzz, he's definitely a fine player but his mechanical peak is long gone

This dude plays so tilted lmao I swear he's always rage peaking

PRX win this. Same rerun as EDG/FPX over in China. We're getting yet another GenG/PRX grand final. Boring script tbh.

boo is the jessievash of emea, dude really sold the org a false bill of goods by signing m0n0b00

GenG is the obvious favorite, maybe FNC the 2nd favorite? Heretics honestly look out of it with how they've recently been playing.

This is the perfect summary of G2

It's not a rivalry if they always kick their ass
LEV 3-0
