i love heretics a lot but i could only justify in my mind miniboo cracking top 3 in their role :(

also these are just my top 3 in every role not predicting who will be good at madrid

i want geng to win because i think they are a super fun team and its nice to see new players at the top but they havent shown the best anti-strating, however with this long of a break and the flaws eg has shown i think they can anti-strat the loud comp. if they dont make any adjustments and play their normal style i dont think geng will win though; just because of the experience of saadhak and loud as a whole, i dont think loud will throw as many 5v4s/5v3s like many teams in pacific teams did

something mechanically looked like the best player on a team that made it to the finals(although i do think jingg was better) i think his lack of flexibility hurts the team so i could understand if you criticize him on that but youre just naming players that are hot rn and saying that they are better players without giving evidence as to why

i get like criticizing a player but at least like make an argument as to why hes "overrated"

I understand being worried about emea teams but its not like KC and Heretics were beating teams that looked bad they have just been extremely mechanically good and have had amazing anti-strats i think the issue with navi and fnc is that more emea teams are getting better and not that they are getting worse
