Boo is the JessieVash of emea at this point lmao, miniboo is not cutting it

Heretics are cooked, only FNC is a contender to win

FNC 3-1, they don't lose these

keke

NAVI are done bro, who knows what that roster is going to look like next year

Trace/FPX is a bo5, probably a 3-1 trace but who knows at this point, it's always an edg/fpx grand final

FPX getting torn apart by Biank's odin on Ascent is one of the funniest things I've seen in vct all year

best awper in the world

12-5

I feel like you have to give the edge to TH over G2, aside from that I'd agree

Doesn't feel like Americas has a powerhouse team right now aside from LEV and I'm not on board with them quite yet, though they do look incredible right now. This feels like a Pacific or EMEA win.

We can be more hopeful now that After is out and Haodong is moved over to assistant coach. Simon has been a really good pickup for the team too. KangKang has been insane recently but that's nothing new, he's never been the problem. He can play Jett, Raze, Neon and Yoru at a high level and that is fucking crazy. Let's just hope EDG don't crumble again.

Trace cooked FPX in their last two matches, it's possible

This group would be fucking insane

GenG has the most aura. Nobody wanted to play them in Shanghai and they beat every single team they faced. They're the scariest team to play against right now. Heretics are going to be many people's #1 pick to win champs but they crumbled against GenG in that bo5.

Many pros have stated this already but it feels almost impossible to anchor both sites, you're almost forced to fall back and wait for your team to rotate.

Honestly expected Trace to look way better here but EDG just outcalled and outgunned them. It's common for teams in China to look good for most of the season then just fall apart when they face EDG. I'm definitely not sold on EDG quite yet. They won kickoff, they won stage 1, and look what happened.

The difference this time is new coaching, nobody on igl and simon as initiator, so let's hope for better results in Seoul.

We all knew it would happen

ok but this will actually happen

'fraid SEN are shit and will be 0-4'd by bilibili

we need aspas to bait his teammates and drop 90 kills fr

another parasocial thread

Their last two series were close, It'll definitely be a good match. I'm expecting a KRU win here. As Shanks said during the LEV/EG game "We all know LEV isn't going to play like this in playoffs".

So TLN, BLG, FUT and SEN will be the 4th seed of every region? SEN are cooked

not my problem

He's right this time

Should KRU really qualify to champs over SEN? I feel like SEN still clears them

art0mis

m0stercl0ss excuses

They're experimenting with the wrong comps. The Deadlock shit is not the answer to any of their problems.

GenG has beaten every single team they've faced internationally at least once

Pretty sure most of their roster knows they ain't gonna be resigned kek

x0ppa

Abyss was an absolute snoozefest so no

Pacific: GENG vs Paper Rex
China: EDG vs FPX
EMEA: ?
Americas: ?
I don't think americas has an el classico right now

Didn't LOUD run phoenix after that or am I crazy? only other team I've seen play phoenix recently is NOVA over in china

For real I just want to see boostio fall off the map on abyss

title

at least you have the 12-5

His aim actually looks terrible. This guy is a total paycheck stealer.

these two teams are putting on the biggest snoozefest of playoffs so far, 12-5 should've never happened

who keeps dragging ethos into this, only his extended family watches his content

I genuinely do not know, I haven't seen hate anywhere, bro is talking to ghosts

GENG (feels like the obvious winner for pacific)
Trace (most consistent china team right now)
FNC (they always find a way to win these)
G2 (but they're not very good in a bo5 match so idk)

To be fair they're mostly dogshit internationally, EDG were the #1 regular season merchants in the world up until their recent slump. I think Trace is the best looking team in China right now.

He's a grown adult man with plenty of money from playing a video game casually, he's already dealt with "haters" before and clearly doesn't care and neither should you. If the rumor has it that he's subbing in for Sentinels thats gives reason for people to "hate" on him again and laugh if he does poorly, even if it's just for fun and to piss Sen fans off. Not that big of a deal. bro.

Any actual "hate" that curry gets is probably from his smurfing days and how arrogant he was about it.

I think this will be their closest series, 2-1 either way. Trace look great without FengF needing to go crazy and that's a scary thing. Biank and Luok1ng have had some superb maps and I think the pressure being off of them now that they've qualified could get them the win here.

In a perfect world this would be a super fun game but I'm feeling a BLG 2-0 here. FPX are looking rough and it's starting to be concerning.

c0rry

Not really surprising considering how FPX lost to Trace in their last game against one another and FPX's regression post-Shanghai. But I didn't expect an almost total stomp. It's not often you'd see these two teams and think "boring ass game" but this was dreadful to watch as an FPX fan.

Life botching the dash to end Ascent and Berlin ulting in a 1v3 instead of using it the next round to secure overtime really sums this one up. Trace look good btw.
