fill me in on the lore why does everyone hate them

like the best in each region??? or best in roles, because theirs no way ethan and saadhak is a top 5 americas player, edg doesnt have the 4 best players in china, and forsaken is not better than texture or meteor

boom lower bracket run soon

fortunately people saw it

they were being glazed heavy last year at some point and most of them did good for 1 event or 1 stage, then did nothing the rest of the year

not my point

tenz to me is world class, karon is the only player i think that had a year as good as tenz in his role, arguements can maybe be made for kingg and smoggy but without tenz sentinels dont even make it to madrid.

i think thats where the problem is, if their is a gap between people like aspas, jawgemo, eg demon1, leo and more compared to others I dont think its fair to call them world class because it kinda undermines what world class means, lets say last year aspas was on the 1-9 mibr team, and they still only got 1 win, I dont think you could call him world class even if he puts up good preformance because he would still be in the same conversations as zekken and texture players who won a event and were the star players

i wont deny they wont be atleast playoff teams but i still think winning titles is too far, if these teams played against madrid sentinels, champs edg, and shanghai geng i dont see a single brazilian team beating them, the farthest i would go is mibr beating g2,lev, prx, and loud ate their 2024 peak and maybe furia making it top top 6 like Fut did in shanghai

i understand they hype for rookies, im just saying that majority of these rookies people are talking about will not even be top 10 in their own region most likely. maybe top 7-5 in their own role with the exception of verno i think he could be top 3 in his specific role but I don't think hes even top 10 in region

IMO you can say a player is really good even if they dont have a top team (top 15 in region) but to say they are world class is crazy, when you say world class i think of aspas,leo, zekken,texture,meteor,tenz, i dont think of verno,primmie,cortezia, i know for a fact a world class player can still drag a bum team to atleast a couple wins because thats what jawgemo did with eg last season, Narrate for KC, and cleary 2023 loud was a bum team carried by aspas (as seen by their results in 2024 with the same roster -aspas)

loud 2023, you knew they still had the potential to win another trophy but didnt know if they would, if they went against the top 6 in 2023 champs in a bo5 it was a literal toss up it was fun to watch

real

youd be surprised the amount of people im seeing saying verno is top 10, even fns called him top 3 americas before ascension was even over

im a 2g beleive i think they will go crazy when they get spike for the regular season, their super fun to watch aswell, but for furia and loud, the last 3 years have been super incocnsistent, they make it to champs 2022 and ALMOST beat drx then choke, and lose 0-2, in playoffs, then they do decent in americas 2023 make playoffs, then 2024 they have a really bad first half, then okay second half. it's like furia is getting worse i just dont have alot of hope for them to be better than like a 7-5th place team.

i also mentioned like 15 other players, and players in brazil have potential to make top 10 but 1. their either too young, 2. bad teams, you cant call someone on a bad team top 10 ITW, or 3. its just potential, they arent top 10 YET.

like i said only 3 rookies last year were considered to be overall top 10 in world or region excluding niche groups like john being top 10 igl or s1mon top 10 initiator

idk what games u watching leviatan has a duelist that can only play 1 duelist, a 1 trick sova, kingg and tex are valid, and natank is unproven in anything, they look okay fnatic through their game against them and they arent even playing with leo, Na doesn't look good either only NRG looks good as of rn. Mibr is just a worse version of 2024 Lev

Furia and Lev are not better than t1, Geng, Prx 100% but the others can MAYBE be argued

The Glaze i've seen for players like Cortezia and Verno is crazy.
The same exact convos happened last year with people like Primmie, Narrate, Marteen, Keiko, Meiy, Yetujey they were all called the best in the world or region last year as rookies and none of them did anything internationally. Before some braindead VLR loser says something i'm not calling them all ass i'm just saying its crazy to be calling rookies better than already established title winners. They all have potential to be the best ITW but they aren't right now. the only people who made any waves internationally as rookies were Karon,Johnqt,Woot,Riens,Hiro,Icy,S1mon,and only 3 of those guys deserved top 10 ITW at any point last year and it's gonna be the same for this year.

drx,t1,prx,geng,talon,ts all 6 of those teams wipe every brazilian team

"how can i be different today"

Pacific
Emea
Americas
China
china has 1 team i think could win, emea has 3, americas has 2, pacific, has 3 and better mid tier teams

Maybe mibr but only if aspas drop +30 ever series

Playing 2 off season events doesn't make you consistent, 2/3 event winners last year got shit on in the off season by international teams

Not in order
Aspas
Zekken
Som
Keznit
Demon1
Kingg
Leaf
Oxy
Jawgemo
Yay
(Below are people that could argue imo)
Spike
Narrate
Cortezia
Mwzera

I never even said anything about g2 in the original post idk why ppl look at the g2 banner and talk abt them

Keyword hes the future, currently not top 8

Not bait he's overated, insane player but not top 8

I saw a post that claimed he was top 8 and people are glazing him so much

I just don't think mibr is good enough to make champs unless they go on a run like kru did last year, aspas is good but it's a team game

Emea: Fnatic, Gentle mates, heretics, vitality
M8 have to make champs or their out meaning they will play for more i think they could make it over Fut

Americas: Nrg, G2, Sen, Kru
Kru make it every year and the other 3 are just good

Pacific: Geng, T1, Prx, Spg or drx
Drx will have a great regular season the choke in playoffs

China: Edg, Fpx. Blg, Wolves
Idk much about china

Sen above eg,mibr,furia
Eg has t2 players and a good coach
Mibr is just a worse version of 2024 leviathan
Furia historically are super inconsistent
Kru should be higher i think their Hella close to making events and realistically even tho c9 and 100t choke they are better than loud and 2g

Never said he would be worse just that it's too early to be calling him top 10

replicate it during the regular season, off season doesnt mean a whole lot hes playing teams with significantly less practice than his team, no doubt he will become top 10 but he has never played tier 1, never won anything, never made playoffs, and he didnt even do anything notable with his team in t2

g2 have infinitely more credibility than verno has right now, no doubt he keeps it up he will become top 10 but brother hasnt played a single tier 1 game

Dont get me wrong verno is good, but this glazing has to stop this guy is not top 8 riflers in americas or even top 10 in americas right now. he has never played a tier 1 game ik hes crazy but the meat riding has to stop somewhere he will become top 10 but calm down until he does something regionally or internationally for t1

the glaze to not include sen is crazy

people were glazing tex during their run so even if cortezia is better, 2 out of 5 lev members are better and the others are around the same , mibr are just gonna be a worse levitan this year

aspas = aspas
tex > cortezia
mazino > artzin
com < nzr
king > xenom

ange1 > khalil, atleast khalil actually has games hes good

c9 are off season merchants i dont think this needs to be explained

w take, idk why people think mibr will be good, they are just a worse leviatan

they lost to a c9 with rossy, without rossy they are nothing

Nrg have 2 fraudulent off season wins, The sen city had bum teams and the soop tournament was filled with plumber tier 4 teams that 5 man run it down, the only good team there was drx and they got beat by a villager named yoman

That's goatster

His raze bad but that's still demon1, if you put a duelist like texture or Kang on a different agent no shit their averages go down

yeah the pings arent a problem

ping changes are fine just dont have 5 go main and spam unless u have multiple mollies

Leo is a bum this aint 2023 no more we gotta move on
