Not a bad player but won't get you a win

This is the real test for NOVA imo, OBONE was absolutely clueless on Yoru so I really don't know what to expect from this team. They're either getting 0-2'd or winning 2-0.

nrg vs fur, ts vs zeta and tyloo vs tec happening within 24 hours is diabolical from riot, might be the worst day of val in stage 1

Forsaken, the undeniable best player on PRX and his chance to win a trophy ended in 2023 (maybe in Copenhagen)
Mako, one of the GOATs of the game but DRX seems to have a ceiling
Meiy, best duelist from Japan and simply not enough top tier talent from his region to help him
whzy, one of the best Chinese players but BLG is not a high level team
RB, if he stays in China he's finished but if he returns to APAC maybe he'll get a trophy on GENG or another Korean team in the future

Part of me is surprised that navi is so ass but I guess the team chemistry just isn't good, their strats look extremely undercooked, Happy is yet to prove himself as a tier one coach

Really poor performance during Bangkok especially in that bo5 against T1, his performance against NOVA was solid but it was still an 0-2 loss

I don't think it's a bad choice tbh, if Jieni7 brings more firepower it's a good move because Smoggy hasn't been in form recently either

is he?

BabyJ the goat

Genuinely strange roster move from TL, and now you know why I had ZERO hope for them to make Toronto despite their performance during kickoff, you just can't trust the glue

I can't believe FNS destroyed his legacy by competing this year, how are you going to call everyone mid during your watchparties then lose to FURIA?

rare jremy masterclass incoming

one of the performances of all time for sure

the 4chan of gaming forums

should have kept ardiddy

lil peep

KekB0byL?

A lot of these answers are recency bias. I feel like Boaster, Shahzam and Sinatraa are contenders for most hated.

this is going to be pure comedy

Honestly shocked that Governor got another team when there's a lot of talent in EMEA t2, I'm guessing he has connections with someone from Apeks? I know vlr has been pretty split on him but he's been inconsistent throughout his time t1 and that's just a fact.

As for Flor, I really think she needed to go to t2 NA before going to t1. Even on Ascent she looked lost. She's obv great mechanically but lacks the experience/game sense.

mwzera?

might be the best tier 1 match of all time

ah hell nah aint no way botster playing tomorrow, you just know theres going to be like 20 threads about him

NRG s0m

JD m0ll?

Honestly it's an uphill battle for Apeks. TH made no roster changes and should be prepped going into stage 1. Their individuals are stronger than Apeks as well. Unless we see the Heretics that played Liquid then I don't see Apeks winning.

I mean EMEA casters are probably the most biased casters, they're incredibly pro FNC for example to the point where its distracting. I prefer a caster like Steel who called out all of the teams equally for making stupid plays.

trust the mamba

do you think the world is sunshine and rainbows or something?

You can't convince me that M80 losing was the best outcome for tier one. What an unfortunate choke from them. 2G is proving to be an absolute disaster.

Their matches against Vitality and GX during kickoff had some really cool ideas, I really wish they got their shit together. They look a bit worse now. I think team chemistry and consistency is holding the roster back.

I mean, for one I wouldn't consider Zap to be an outstanding igl and two, he asked to leave

nzr the goat going to save 2g kek

Apeks 2-1 TH
TH 2-1 if 0v0v0 starts trolling

flor and gov hard clear them

can saadhak just not get it done anymore?

horrendous player tbh

do they have any fans?

the mamba is washed

Any Boaster aura in '25?

Looks good but the jury is out on Team Heretics, they played unbelievably bad against TL

thought he was 43 kek

is he done for good?

washed

I've read on Twitter that Shiro is the IGL and Ncslasher is the secondary caller

new el trashico?

Saying he was their best player is like saying who the nicest guy in prison is, that iteration of DFM is one of the worst teams tier 1 has ever seen, Suggest hasn't proven himself in any way since DFM and he wouldn't be getting this opportunity if he didn't have connections to the coaching staff

GENG hit the panic button far too soon, sure their coaches are veterans and know a lot more than we do but GENG looks even worse now compared to kickoff, real possibility they miss out on Toronto
