Fair enough. Alejandro Gomis is very credible

Visa issues will be a thing regardless of whether you have one Brazilian player or five. The only way to completely avoid visa issues is probably to leave Brazil entirely. So I don't think that's the reason

That's fair

He hasn't been released yet and from what I can tell he really likes the guys on Karmine Corp, especially marteen. As much as I can tell he wants to play in NA someday, I can definitely see him giving KC at least another year

Very much hope Sacy ends up on a great team next year. That being said, though, I'm not 100% convinced on Sacy leaving Sentinels until we get an official release from either Sentinels or Sacy himself

The strongest right now, sure. But I think 2024 proved how drastically that kind of thing can change over one offseason

I'm assuming you mean canyon? You couldn't possibly have meant Danny, he's really chill

He is a restricted free agent, so there's a real chance he's still with LEV. If not, then I can see him going either to another LATAM/BR team or maybe even a team in NA (though they'd probably have their eyes set on their T2 scene)

Yup

I'm just answering the "where was he during..." questions

For the sake of simplicity, we can say he's out for now. If he ends up resigning with Leviatán, then so be it, but for now I don't think you can really say he is a part of the team at the moment, at least the way I see it

They were also on Team Heretics together in the second half of 2021

He was on the same team as ardiis in 2021

Bump!

ardiis, hiro, starxo, crashies, and Mazino all in one day is wild

How to win EMEA Ascension (proven): play Phoenix on every map

Wishing crashies the best. Hope he finds a good new team, either in VCT Americas or in NA Challengers.

If MOUZ beats JL, the two of them plus TU will have a 2-2 record during the group stages. The tiebreaker will then go to map differential:
TU: 5-5
JL: 4-5 OR 5-5
MOUZ: 5-5 OR 5-6

This means TU will be in a two-way tie for round differential with either JL or MOUZ. It'll then go to round differential.
TU: +5
JL: currently +4 (if they lose with a round differential of less than -1 TU moves on)
MOUZ: -17 (if they win with a round differential of less than -22)

If somehow TU is tied with either team on rounds (very unlikely), then they'll play a BO1, in which TU will absolutely DESTROY either of them and qualify.

Well yeah, KOI Demon1

Tech pause at 0:44. Tech pause ends, preround continues. Another tech pause at 0:25. What's going on?
(By the time I started this thread it was over lmao)

I think they are but a lot of people used Champs as an evaluation of that last year, I feel, at least in NRG's case

Lowkey they could've been a top 10 team last year

I'm gonna ask you to step out of the kitchen

Isn't secondary initiator Ethan's job, though?

4 days ago we got Zyppan Jamppi Enzo Mistic doma all in one fell swoop as well

Then what does FNS play?

Yeah Demon1 is going to KOI

Akai has military service

Most likely tier 1 players to be picked up for each region (imo) [only applies to people that have been dropped at the end of the season]
Americas: yay or (hot take) Klaus
EMEA: Derke or starxo (just because igl)
Pacific: Zest, Deryeon, or Lmemore
CN: N/A (only person dropped in CN so far is pl1xx, who's Australian)

Population of Iceland is almost 400,000. Good luck

2% of Icelanders are 1st generation immigrants (including Arabs and Sikhs), which is around 8,000 people (this is old data so that number could be higher)

Akai has military service

I've been waiting since April for Araxys Bulldog

Bump!

You will become a W citizen of either Keflavík or Akureyri

It would be really funny if it displayed his IP address in Arial Black

Is this self-promo?

Saadhak is a flex player, dude. He mostly plays flash initiator but also Viper, Killjoy, and some Sova as well

I just reported myself by accident

Also racism

Racism

Fair ig
...also how do you already have a downvote? Did you spawn with one or something?

TL Saadhak? Why!?

Jamppi was dropped with Mistic and Enzo

EMEA players that have been dropped so far:
Derke, doma, hiro
starxo
TakaS
Zyppan, ardiis
Jamppi, Mistic, Enzo

Hopefully not. Idk if it even matters, though, because the other three teams are already at 2 wins apiece

They're not even players

I think they signed him as a sub for Champions after DA got knocked out of Türkiye: Birlik. Probably in case any player has health complications (Derke was saying he was feeling a bit unwell at the time, if I remember correctly)

Bump!
