Nope, I've been a Trace believer since 2023
(As a fan of LOUD, KC, TE, DFM, ZETA, etc. 2025 has been painful lmao)
Bro really predicted every single team in the tournament except the MENA teams
They're all great players but their years haven't been very good
Redgar is a proven igl sitting in Russian tier 3 for some reason
d3ffo performed decently well but his team crashed out of playoffs in both splits
sheydos was pretty inconsistent this year, and although he's in tier 1 MKOI is surely one of the worst teams to be able to perform on
We'll see what happens
Literally if you swapped the top 4 and bottom 4 I would've had near perfect pick'ems
Team 2 with SUYGETSU instead of trexx would be insane
based on this years perfomances. THIS YEAR
...
redgar
d3ffo
sheydos
Best of luck to FOKUS! Definitely not the favourites going into it but they've got a shot for sure 🫡
Cracked team, I hope they have a strong start
Exposed for only reading the title
I don't have enough context to explain either of those, but I can tell you that he shot at the same time as the dart would've scanned that corner
That wall is penetrable with heavy pen (which includes his sheriff). I can see that the bullet didn't go through but that's either because his angle was too shallow or because it hit a thicker part of the wall
Same as #9. He's played long enough to know where the enemy is if they're planting in that corner (either using the minimap or the top left corner of the structure as reference)
He's not cheating. The timing makes it look very suspicious but he's just shooting at this corner in Tiles https://i.imgur.com/D1xoqXQ.png
To be fair, there are way more talented Brazilian duelists than there are spots for them in tier 1, so there are a lot that are gonna deserve it that aren't gonna be able to get it unfortunately
Aim's maybe a tad better, but overall ComeBack's clearly the better duelist. No discredit to s0pp, ComeBack is just insane
Se-get-soo is how the commentators usually pronounce it
echo most obviously leans into this, he's so sharp when he's online it's insane
The idea of a scrim is to trial run pre-determined ideas against a real life opponent. It's not a friendly match where it's a first-to-13 trial-by-fire, but rather both teams saying "this is what we want to practice" and then going through with what they're setting out to achieve.
Adapting to your opponent in a scrim can actually be pretty unhelpful, and I'll give you an simplified example to illustrate this.
If, for instance, team #1 wanted to practice their A hits, they would hit A 12 times in a row. They would have also communicated to team #2 that their plan was to hit A 12 times in a row. With this information, team #2 could theoretically stack A, or brawl for A Main, or push out Mid and B and retake from multiple lanes. But that wouldn't benefit either team; it would be a waste of team #1's time, and team #2 would lose a scrim partner. Instead, team #2 would play as if it's a normal match. The point is to simulate a realistic situation so that the teams can figure out what's working and what's not, and move forward with a better understanding of what they need to accomplish before their next match.
You ain't ever seeing any VCT comps in plat bro nice try
I'm hoping NRG go back to their Abyss comp from the offseason, the things they were cooking up with Yoru Harbor Vyse were golden
I hope so, they could definitely run something similar to LEVIATÁN last year with rushia on Harbor and nephh on Omen
They nerfed my boy when they took Icebox out 😢 he doesn't play Harbor no more
By that logic you could say that Sentinels didn't fall off after winning Reykjavík, which is completely wrong
Bro has never heard of population density 💀
Good point tbh, we haven't seen him play it on other maps yet
f0rsakeN... from what I've seen of him he seems to understand when to use what utility more naturally than other Waylays so far
Teams learn more from lost scrims than won scrims btw
Scrims don't mean as much as y'all make them out to be
I own Mystbloom so Mystbloom
Because pineapple is a pretty unpredictable fruit that can be both sweet and/or sour so pairing it with a savoury meal can be tricky. Pineapple can also be more or less intense depending on the juice content so it's very hard to get the ratio right. Too much and it overpowers the pizza, too little and it just isn't enjoyable. You need to get everything right for it to taste good. I've had a well done pineapple pizza and it was honestly really good, it had little chunks of pineapple (around the size of sugar cubes) scattered around and I thought that was nice
Nothing’s gonna change my mind, haters can say whatever they want
What's the point in making a thread if you don't want to hear what people have to say?
I very badly want them to go for Sand, but that's IF and only if they're going for a sentinel
Near the end of the year they showed that they wanted Saadhak on sentinel. Clearly he didn't look super comfortable on recon, and historically his agent pool has mainly been KAY/O Viper Killjoy so it makes the most sense to have him play a sentinel role, all things considered. And that's what they did, taking out Elite, moving Saadhak to senti, and having pyrolll take up the initiator role. (This is my theory as to why they benched Elite, by the way... I don't think they wanted to remove him, but in the end of course you're going to value shotcalling over who plays sentinel, you know?)
Long story short, I think they'll either go for another initiator instead, or if they really want Sand they'll drop Saadhak and find another igl
The thing about Elite is that his best sentinel by FAR was Killjoy and she's slowly slipping out of the meta
It was pretty evident if you happened to watch his games last year that this is the case, he was consistently dropping high KDs on KJ (he was 20/2/2 on an Icebox in Stage 1) but would often underperform on Vyse, etc.
He didn't, he's still on the bench
pyrolll got dropped though so he's technically back on the active roster for now
KC will 100% make changes unfortunately but we'll see if Elite is one of them
Not a Masters but should still count... Champions 2023 was the most storied event of all time
There were definitely more but you get the idea
I fully agree with you, but in the context of the league and it's partnerships they are an Ascension team, and I say so to add to the argument that it's impossible for them to be in a MKOI-esque situation due to not having a partnership agreement to breach
G2 won the treble, has the most content out of any organization in Americas, and I've somehow seen their classic almost as much as SEN's. I think they're good.
Also reminder that they're an Ascension team
My two favourite contenders were Los Grandes and E-Xolos LAZER. Neither of them made it and now I just don't feel any hype toward Ascension unfortunately :(
If you're gonna nostalgia bait then go with 2023
They're in the wrong order, but at least you got the top 16 teams
