fr people are actually crying LMFAO crazy scenes

if i got this offended over jokes that werent even directed at me i think id blow my brains out bro yall NEEEEEED hobbies

yo no way yall are this mad about this LOL its just not this serious

HE LEFT LMFAO

lets keep in mind when we talk about this that this team theoretically is being midrounded by multiple players
marved and crashies are both vocal midrounders(crashies especially) so its not obvious that the calling struggles lie just at ethan's feet

based on some of the stuff from the nrg roster from last year im more than a little inclined to assign a considerable amount of blame to crashies

feels like an odd thing to post icl

her bones are quite literally eroding, she has RA

crashies is why fns left nrg and ethan clears him

demon1 is the guy when his fiancees bones arent eroding
still think this slump is temporary but the real issue is the team has no default and looks lost 90% of the time in decision making midround

-vic
-crashies
+s0m
+fns

unironically

if nrg ban bind they should win but its like 70-30 at best imo

i think its different this year, tokyo was like months before champs with only lcq in between, here there's much less time to rest and innovate because theres another split that follows after shanghai

that just screams bad example to me, geng and prx 1) are on the right end of a large gap in talent between the top apac teams and the field, and 2) still havent looked exactly unbeatable, drx easily look better than both of them

i dont think any team is throwing to miss masters, thats absurd
i do think that qualifying will hurt multiple teams' performances at champs or chances to qualify for champs though

i mean the meta hasnt really changed but its more that loud tried a gimmick that left them behind the meta, and now they're playing catch up which is reflecting in their performances

i still think they're relatively behind the meta, that one win has not convinced me in the slightest that theyve adjusted back
they played basic icebox harbor viper and a deadlock lotus that does not have legs, they won that map off the back of absolutely perfect calling from saadhak

well thats kind of what im referring to, teams that didnt make madrid had more time to adapt to meta changes and innovate
meanwhile you look at loud and theyre still trying to adjust from their expired phoenix exploration with no time to properly catch up to current meta
like missing shanghai is almost best case scenario for them because they need time pretty desperately

tbh im more saying this off the back of loud and kc
loud obviously got stuck in ireland n shit and got left very far behind the meta, but kc have also struggled because they havent had time to fix their midrounding issues and innovate more like they were able to for kickoff
and missing shanghai will probably benefit both of those teams in terms of fixing those issues imo

bro forgot to pay for his google subscription

based on how madrid attendees(particularly in NA and EMEA) have suffered because of the schedule tightness, will attending shanghai cause more issues than its worth for teams? is dodging shanghai quietly good for some teams to give them more prep time?

forsaken has no flaws. he is a perfect player. he is a perfect person. do you have his number. can i get it

im first nations

most educated american

i said it "isnt half or very close" i didnt say "ontario actually makes a very small portion of canada pop"
lmk when your american education teaches you how to read properly

La STM vous souhaite la bienvenue a bord.

im first nations dawg my people have been in canada before it was called canada shut the fuck up

it literally isnt half or very close lol

starxo life game and they still didnt win
how did kc get run THAT close tho wtf happened

bro theyve been practicing since the day they lost to sen lol whats the issue

i wrote a whole ass essay on here about the mechanics of language and this is still the nerdiest shit thats been posted on here

yeah, she has rheumatoid arthritis so her bones are literally eroding
pretty shitty deal
she tweeted about it the other day https://twitter.com/katarinafps/status/1782960867493257456?newtwitter=true

i only enjoy premier atp but i think im just burnt out

okay seriously though, his fiancee is going through some pretty severe health issues
we gave tenz sympathy and said "yes of course hes performing worse his fiancee has cancer have some empathy" but for demon1 its different somehow?
what, our empathy is just selective based on whether the person has a lisp or not or some shit? lets be fr this shit is still just as wack no matter how you slice it

i have bad news

if EG gets their second win, they are eligible to qualify

• there is a chance 4 of the 6 teams in omega dont even win a single game
  you forgot the word not here
• Especially since the points dont really matter
  yeah all they determine is a spot at champs, they really dont
  • as Sen already started the year off with 6 ahead of everyone else
    do you realize this fact is only meaningful if sentinels dont qualify through stage 2 playoffs? like if they qual off playoffs it just gets given to the team with the next highest points. also they do matter for that exact reason because if sen dont make champs off playoffs, that earlier performance will help them qual anyway

gonna have to give you a C on this paper sorry

i should have made this post after this game LMFAO my ass looks stupid

yo my bad u right

yeah eg has a win, but they are playing like the 9th best team in the split
loud are playing better than them despite also playing like shit and not having a win
its not just durr this team has win. this team doesnt. therefore this team better. if it was id have kru first but we all know they're not playing better than the rest of the region in the split, right?

eg played just okay in their series against sen, choked lotus in abysmal fashion, and only beat sen on bind because sen thought job was done
this is the same team that got turned out by g2 lol they got like 10 rounds

eg worse than loud

icy looked good on icebox but god his duelist has been MINDNUMBINGLY underwhelming
should have picked up aproto imo
leafs owning on senti tho so maybe im high

wait you put loud twice lol

kru have had weaker opponents than nrg who get criticism for having only beaten weak opponents, not putting them over nrg just because nrg played their f game against lev lol
and g2 have not impressed me for an iota of a second tbh they look so mid

lets be real theyd beat loud rn loud look like SHIT!!!!!!!

cbaiter never misses it seems

im struggling to rate kru super highly because theyve just farmed the three weakest performers so far(eg mibr furia)
if we see a win against loud today ill agree with you on 2nd
and c9 6th really? 3-1 with some good wins notched? ik they looked like a mess against 100t but still

edit nvm lol kru 2nd

ya sen havent even looked bad or anything
the eg loss is a disaster but shit happens tbh i think they job doned too early and got a bit shellshocked, it might keep them out of playoffs which is unfortunate but i dont think it should be judged harshly, teams still gaming in a major way

sadly brazilians hate keznit
also does he speak portuguese? hes played on chilean teams his whole career hasnt he?

purely based on how theyve played during split 1 i dont want to hear shit about loud or sen being too low
only ranking the 9 tier 1 teams btw

1. LEV(played near perfect after 1st game)
2. 100T
3. C9
4. NRG(2-4 are almost equal in my mind)
5. KRU
6. SEN
7. G2
8. LOUD
9. EG

this is about to age very badly if loud beat kru lol

hes fucking owning its insane, im blown away rn
g2 has not impressed me in the remotest sense at any point this season but leaf is frying 16 ways from sunday

why the gentle mates hate man do u not want to see phoenix on every map?

as expected, hes very good at the video game
excited to see how he stacks up against us next week
