I'm sorry, but their new logo is NOT good in any way, it's a straight downgrade, and it looks like something made in Microsoft PowerPoint. There's a reason they went back to using their old branding on their website

Bump!

JL is probably the toughest team in this group. If there's a time for TU to step up, it's now

0/10. You can't even count syllables

...guys, Team Liquid dropped everyone except nAts and their duelist. They're not gonna get another duelist because they're keeping Keiko. I'm genuinely only hearing takes for TL to add duelists

To be fair, the new icon's sick. The flair's making it look a lot worse than it is; I actually really like the icon in their signature lime colour

I'm not critiquing the org's branding direction here. I'm asking for a better flair 😁👍

Okay, that's CLEAN. Definitely pretty simple but I like it

When it comes to Champs songs, anything with Grabbitz >>> anything without Grabbitz. I will die on this hill.

Have they revealed the new jersey?

Mods, if you're reading this, please just make it the icon in the lime colour. It'll look 10x nicer, trust me.

It's a tiny bit hard to see in light mode, but I think it's a definite improvement.
Thank you!

Note: even if you can only get medium quality at best, thanks okay. You can update it later and it shows up as 16x16 on desktop anyway :)

Nice bait. Unfortunately, KOI Demon1

I get the direction they're going in. I'm gonna miss the old logo; it was playful and fun, something which isn't really common among NA esports orgs. But I can't discredit them; this design is sleek, technical, and I love the icon they came up with (would look a lot better than the old one on a team capsule classic imo). I have to say, though, it does work a lot better when it's lime on black bg than than the other way around.

I love Akai but you can't exactly discredit Fighter, especially when this is his second game as a new addition to a core that's been together for some time. Obviously it's gonna take a bit of time for him to settle in, and when he does I hope he'll play a lot better :)

He didn't say he was. But when you go into military service you're essentially quitting esports for at least a few years

I'm very happy :)

Watch rounds 4-6 back and you'll get what I mean

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Send me the official statement from either the player or the org and I'll add it

TU are looking better and I'm not gonna take anything away from them, but I've heard good things about xuss and these past few rounds haven't been it from him.

Hope TU plays better today

Tell me you hate KC without telling me you hate KC

TU come back stronger

Omg it's been so long I miss you so much 🎭

Interesting perspective. Me personally, though, I prefer VCT over lack of VCT

Not sure why people think either would be. Keiko is the team's duelist

LOUD is your favourite team?

It's listed as a possibility, not as a trial

LOUD
-current management +better management

KC
-MAGNUM +any igl that can midround

At the very least he wouldn't Brim ult himself

This is good. I like this

"What the freakington" case in point lmao

Debatable

I agree with you but I downvoted for that last sentence

M8 should sign Mistic and soulcas (the French org with the all-French roster signing two Brits would be so funny)

I really wanted Akai too, man. Now there's no UAE rep at Ascension :(

I thought so too, but Sand is reportedly playing from Egypt so I'm not sure. If I had to guess it's only a LAN for playoffs

He fixed the format (and also everything else)

Maybe it's the 100 ping they're playing on

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is a 6 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuB2NeKL7NI

I dunno, bro. They earned Ascension; at least them freaking play in Ascension

He has military service

Fair enough

Leo Faria actually cooked for next year ngl. The only thing that's not an improvement is the classics are still classics

Someone's from 2023

Military service

I know a bit of türkçe

🤨
(I know ayaklar is feet so I can only infer)

As bad as LOUD were, I don't think getting top 4 in an 8 team tournament counts as a fluke

İyi geceler
