it’s not debatable that some maps in the current pool heavily favour a certain side, but what is actually the “acceptable” scoreline in a half for defence on all the maps?

G2 = best T2 team from last year
if we give new slots from T1 brazil to NA, that is the calibre of team that will be picked up

best AsunaYukki take in a while

atp y0y is not performing either and he’s known to have attitude issues and problems with team chemistry LOL

they have two phantom preference players (Sacy and Zekken) it makes sense that their aim duels are sloppier

with the absolute BAG that bleed offered yay I’d be absolutely shocked if they didn’t build the whole roster this year around him

his low sens probably was never good for dive agents though

list of meta agents BabyJ can play = 2

list of meta agents y0y can play = 0

clearly not a rabid Tenz enjoyer

DRX is wayyyy too high and T1 needs more respect

basically the vibe ranking

Cloud9 too low

Lev still overhyped

because it shows a really deep bond between teammates and it's all around a good gesture

stop hating cause you don't have any people who care about you enough to do nice things for you

well xccurate cleared basically everybody in CS in his prime on the awp it makes sense that he’s farming now

holy fuck I think bro is bad too but chill 😭

IDC about role issues get this ass player outta here

most sane and reasonable LOUD fan

imagine if they get more maps off KC than fnatic 😂

finally a sane Simp4S0m take

top 3 at Madrid and right now

read

they’d have to -jakee as well, no chance Pancada is taking up wippie’s roles after such a lacklustre showing on non-controller agents last year

at least it made sense this year to have Tenz on smokes cause of clout and his incredibly mechanics
Jakee has no clout and is pretty mid so they have to get rid of him for any +pancada to not be a waste of talent and money

not a chance they are too fucking poor

I’d never thought I’d see the day where Sentinels of all teams shit on their competition with set retakes and smart mid rounding instead of straight aim diffs and it’s a testament to the leadership and discipline he’s provided on a Sen team that has always struggled with IGL issues. Not to mention he clears most players mechanically

Top 3 IGL at Madrid. Absolute Cinema.

yap

poverty org isn’t even going to replace him with a good player

no real IGL = messed up Comms

you lose FNS you lose structure

sure maybe compared to 100T or some shit

listening to Sen comms in particular they clear by far

listening to their comms in the Furia game they honestly seem to be talking over each other more than other top teams do and just generally doesn’t seem as cohesive as Loud, Sen, Fnatic, etc

against Furia and C9 with their shallow playbooks the chaotic comms may not be as big of an issue but against better drilled teams with layered utility we might see this become a major problem

if NRG plays at the level they have in groups SEN takes this 2-0

if NRG plays to the level that they are capable, SEN isn't ready yet

2v5

lets go SEN but pls don't cook

honestly facts, only reason why international teams work so well in CS is because it’s so methodical and repetitive

potter to Sentinels = 5 straight international wins

on a macro level they're getting bamboozled

lucky they got decent util and are aim diffing

other ways to play icebox 100% but I think this will catalyse deadlock picks on a lotttt of other maps with the really tight choke points (Ascent, Split, maybe even Breeze)

this is the next meta 100%

using deadlock as a second sentinel to just lock down choke points completely, with cypher or KJ is gets rid of her weaknesses on watching flank on attack but gives you so much flexible execute util

dawgemo could drop 100 across 2 maps and G2 will still sweep

Potter coaching could probably get a Plat 5 stack a round though

SEN win -> make playoffs
make playoffs -> more viewership
more viewership -> more Riot money
more Riot money -> more Riot investment into game
more Riot investment -> replay system

therefore Sentinels win = replay system

#GoSenCity

are they the best team? Absolutely not, SEN, Lev, LOUD arguably clear. However they have the best aimer ITW and a team full of pop-off, tournament-winning talent. I would be more nervous as a fan to go up against NRG than a team like Loud which relies on consistency and good util than Demon1 and friends even if they’re objectively worse

after all, you lose one or two 50/50 aim duels and that can decide an entire map or series

at least we can agree on one thing

dwdw we'll send a couple over to tend to your soldiers getting railed in the Donetsk 🤭

it's about as much of an insult as calling someone an npc to make yourself feel smarter is

Albanian

it's not braindead to care about the safety of other people

I'm attending Med school while you're about to get conscripted 😂
where is that "Russia brain" getting ya

it's been 7 years bro let him go

and funny how you cry about "no politics" right after spewing dumb shit about masks

anybody who uses the term "npc" unironically should have their opinion voided

nah we chilling out here while your country tears itself apart with shitty governance and generational ennui

and prime unlistedleaf clears every Russian youtuber that has ever been born

the race for 2nd place is shaping up!!

he's clearly slow don't bother responding

you can wear a facemask if you have non-covid illnesses as well bozo

mofos like you are why the world get mad screwed in 2020/2021

you mean the teams did themselves dirty...

their group could quite possibly have the best 4 teams in the region

other than maybe NRG
