Canada hasn't really been overshadowed, per se. Sure, none of the orgs are Canadian, but it's not like Canada doesn't produce some great talent, including but not limited to:
Apeks was Team Liquid's affiliate team this year. What happens now that they've ascended?
SEN vs. KC at Masters Madrid is an underrated pick for sure. Even though it was 2-0 that game was INTENSE
That would be pretty cool if you can make it happen. If not, though, then no worries. Up to you
Yup. Maps 1 and 2 were 26-7 in AK's favour, map 3 was relatively close, and maps 4 and 5 both ended 9-3 at the half for M80. Almost as if the script was flipped halfway through the series
It depends on the number of teams. CN is my favourite just because of how optimal it is (there's a reason we use it at Masters), but it only works because they've got 8 teams.
For 6 teams the Americas format works well, as it pits everyone against everyone to decide who makes playoffs to ensure the 4 best teams make it through.
As for 10 teams, I much prefer EMEA's format over Pacific's. Even with how weird the tiebreaker rules are, it's still a lot better than a straight double elimination bracket where 6 teams get byes and if you lose 2 games you go home.
So you want it to go from "we're gonna ban our worst map and your best map" to "you have to 3-0 us to win"?
If you were given the choice to see a live game right now, would you rather watch OpTic vs. LOUD or Made in Brazil vs. Made in Brampton?
Hopefully not. To be fair, though, M80 is coming from lowers and could've gotten 3-0'd yesterday
I didn't realize JFT meant Justice For Tomorrow. That's actually really hecking cool
NT RIDDLE! They played Harbor on Ascent, it was over before it even started
Hold up you might be cooking with that Lotus comp
Meh. It's just your rank. It doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. I'm in silver, and yet I have diamond friends who I play better than and bronze friends who could easily win a game I would struggle to make close. The silly little icon next to your name on the friends list isn't a reflection of your individual skill by any means.
When do you two go head to head
That really is all it takes, huh? Let Turkish aim do its thing and everything will follow suit
Also do keep in mind the Ghost doesn't have any unique animations, the Vandal doesn't have any either other than the Araxys pullout, and the knife is essentially a reskinned Magepunk Sparkswitch.
I think that second point was one of the reasons they were opting for the Sage.
I remember doing a mini-analysis to see how they were running C execs. In the game against MXS, they hit C 4 rounds, and they did this same Sage wall on all four execs: https://imgur.com/a/wFRrPVj. What this Sage wall does is it lets them flood into Bend, as well as let koalanoob take an early fight from an advantageous angle
I'd rather have yay on sentinel than flexing to Viper and Skye like he was on BLEED. Everyone does best on their comfort role, and I think we both want that for yay
Very neat thoughts
Also I think it's doable for M80 to put Viper in. You could probably cut the Sage or Deadlock from the comp and put koalanoob on Omen, leaving Zander free to play Viper
They already shipped that update several months back. Why do you think Ludilue gets so many clips?
I get crashies, but why yay? johnqt and Zellsis both play sentinel
True. And of course Sentinels aren't going to sign all three. What I'm saying is what I'm hearing when it comes to Sentinels speculation on VLR is always some combination of two of the three players
Everyone seems completely convinced that the new Sentinels pickups are gonna be two of Zander, N4RRATE, and jawgemo. Are these any more than rumours, though? I don't remember a source ever being shared for any of the three. Why are we all so certain?
(Just to clarify I'm not arguing against Sentinels picking up Zander, N4RRATE, or jawgemo, I'm just curious as to why everyone seems so sure)
They later swapped out the Sage for a Breach... is it just me or did that feel like a downgrade, almost?
Türkiye slander will not be tolerated
Dude decided to take matters into his own hands and dropped as many kills as all three Argentinians combined
He's probably still undergoing trials. He's a young guy, he has a ton of talent, and he's likely getting a ton of offers, so he's definitely gonna be taking his time and choosing what he finds best

FUT played Jett Omen Viper Cypher Sage
M80 are playing Fade Omen Cypher Deadlock Sage
What would you do for Harbor?
Yup, we really don't know much atm. We should at least have a decent idea by the time RBHG rolls around, though, so I guess there's that to look forward to
Oh yeah I forgot one
Kinda debatable but I think it looks a lot better
My ideas were:
No clue.
They are buffing Harbor, though... they're just taking a while because they think "he needs larger scope work" and they're still "exploring their options. "
The post he's referencing is also him btw
We're getting -icy threads unprompted in the middle of the offseason now... incredible
"Watch this" LMAO that's so subtle
