I'd say DRX win 2-1, but if they can 2-0 FNC then they can 2-0 SEN as well

• LOUD (They had a terrible year, starting with the coaching staff trying to push a bad narrative on the meta onto them, after which they rebounded and looked way better that they did previously, only for them to drop their duelist—who received unreasonable amounts of hate—to pick up a controller player, then their igl had to put himself on Neon on every map, which got him a lot of hate as well, then their initiator had to start igling a bit, they had 4 controller players on the team, and it all came crashing down and people considered them one of the worst teams in the league just because of the org's decisions)

• JDG (picked up the Rare Atom roster from last year and just could not find the same results with them as they C achieved in Ascension last year. They had super high hopes coming into the season and I'm not sure what went so wrong but they couldn't represent CN at a single international tournament)

• BLEED (They won Ascension with an incredible roster, had to drop juicy because of age restriction, nephh left as well, they tried signing two renowned players but it ended up falling so flat on its face, overall a really bad showing from them and nowhere near the level of play they were bringing last year)

• DFM (They have such a good core and yet can't seem to find much success. However even with the success they find no one's willing to give them any praise for it)

• Evil Geniuses (the old roster was in contract jail, a lot of those players aren't finding success right now, the new roster fell short after a strong end to the season, a bunch of players got way too much hate, and the team's probably getting dismantled now because of the way the org functions)

2/11. That Talon team sounds really good and if DRX makes another roster move I'm going to slap termi with a pan. The T1 and DFM disrespect is crazy though

Again?

I'm not having french fries at 9 in the morning

I do that to myself as well. A lot. But I shouldn't be doing it, and you shouldn't either. Guilt is a terrible feeling, and giving yourself unwarranted amounts of it for no reason is a terrible thing to do to one's self

Two, actually. Not the good kind, though, the quick kind

Didn't DRX almost 3-0 GEN in the Pacific grand final?

...yeah, as much as I hate to admit it... what C0co said is true

And I hope that hunch is true for you, too

That's a very honourable goal

Exciting!

I have a hunch he only has that name because he can't change it

I wake up every morning at 9, go for a walk, come back, take a cold shower, have a grilled cheese, and then start my day. No lie I do this every day

Sounds like NY slang

...muddy?

I don't care which direction I take in my life as long as I wake up every morning a better person than I was yesterday.

You'd have to sacrifice johnqt

When half the VCT fanbase has the same gimmick, it's not exactly a gimmick

I have integrated graphics from intel LMAO

I like igling, plus I win more on average when I call strats, so why not do it? If anything, if one person starts being vocal, soon enough the whole team is talking

I personally use a yellow plus or an outline dot, but sometimes I'll switch to something silly when I'm playing for fun. I have a crosshair of a duck that opens its mouth when you shoot and I absolutely love it.

I've been having that since I switched ISPs about a month or two ago. Currently with Primus, in case you're curious

Only in DM (hard to igl while listening to music)

f0rsakeN and d4v41 can both play Sova, plus mindfreak has played it before in case neither of them is playing it

I guess that's fair

Excuse me? We're dropping Sacy, Saadhak, icy, AND moose from their teams?

They play two different roles

T1 want to transition into a fully Korean roster

Make 250 posts to get 4 stars

I'm still waiting for Fracture in TDM

No problem!

If you're 34 it'll print "Only ashes left💀", but the choice itself is fine

KOI vs. BBL from this year

Botswana??

What I mean is I can't personally back up anything that's in those articles

Need I remind you that BLG was their LCQ team last year?

Ironic

I don't see anything wrong with this pickem. I can see any of the matches you chose going to way you predicted

Idk link a Google Doc or something lmao

Alright then, have a good day, I guess

Dude 😭
That's fine though, half of everyone I know did that exact thing

Top 32%

I dare you to make seven more threads just like this one and then come back to the one that's right once the grand final ends and say you called it

Cool. Now make the same list but for the other three regions

No offense, but G2 are not strategically subpar by any means, and the fact that you believe their results hinder on JonahP's performance tells me you know nothing about how the team works.

Now that you mention it, change already has worked for them. Change being Monyet.

For all intensive purposes, I feel like Paper Rex would rather give d4v41 the Ethan treatment than make roster changes. I fully agree with d4v41 initiator and f0rsakeN sentinel, though. Especially if f0rsakeN gets to transition off sentinel on double duelist maps like Meteor does on Gen.G.

I can't. I don't know Jinggg personally, and it's been said that it's a private matter. But if the organization he works for publish a statement themselves, then that's the best and most accurate thing we have to go off of. https://x.com/pprxteam/status/1773681552968610016

Prove it. Prove he doesn't have a life-long medical condition, prove he's not medically unfit for any form of service, and prove he's not undergoing treatment. Because I've read at least a dozen articles from trusted sources that say that exact thing.
