yes COPIUM

new player as in new to the team, he was just a sub for bleed and now he's playing cuz of lexy NS

they got a new player, im doubtful he would replace lexy well

NA: Anyone's game here, all teams except SEN are capable, I'd pick 100T or C9 tho.
APAC: TS & ONIC has the highest chance of qualifying, with AE as the dark horse
East Asia: DK's roster looks scary af and Nth are directly behind them, EDG as a dark horse potential
EMEA: Probably M3C and maybe Guild, TL and ACE are uncertain cause they haven't announced their 5th player yet.
SA: KRU and NIP, not too sure about this one
thoughts?

yeah no hate to the bleed guys but I would much prefer a full apac team to represent us

in stage 1 they couldn't get out of groups cuz they played xerxia twice cause of the blackout, so bleed got a free pass instead of facing onic for the second seed hence more points.

any other team than bleed plz

his nationality is singaporean but he identifies as half singaporean half indo, cause his mom is chinese-indonesian and im pretty sure he understands the indonesian language a little bit as well.

f0rsaken wasn't the problem when he was on sova, he played well actually. Jinggg just couldn't fill in the jett role well and mindfreak was on cypher which was also a big issue. give mistic a chance in champs, he is a very capable player when he played smokes back then.

I think any team besides underdogs are just bound to get hate when they lose, some more than others of course. I'm just ready for people to call prx a fluke run.

PRX 3-1 they will have a big advantage banning both split and breeze
they're very comfortable playing bind, ascent, fracture, haven and icebox
edit: they're playing fpx not optic so they might ban icebox instead of breeze

yeah most of the things you said are right, however they did bring out and popularized a lot of set strats

bind is one of fnatic's best maps along with icebox

hype

i feel like the thai scene also suffers from this, xerxia doesn't wanna scrim thai teams and even apac teams. now in stage 2 there's only 1 thai team in playoffs, also the reason no other teams except prx can beat xerxia in apac.

waiting to see who falls for this

imo foxy is a good addition, sure he might be "farming" a japanese league, but i think he could take rb's role if he learns neon. his raw mechanics are there. seoldam on the other hand, i don't think he has the drive to compete and the current meta will be rough for him as a jett main, he showed he was capable back then but his playstyle is so engrained towards jett i see him having trouble trying to play other duelists. teams succeeding rn barely play jett and the only must pick jett map is breeze.

bro's also blatantly racist and some people disguise the shit he does as patriotic and "respects him"

literally one bad game, it was his fucking breaking point, bro looked like he was boutta knock rb and buzz tf out after the game

more like
yay >= f0rsaken
fns < benkai
marved > mindfreak
victor << jinggg
crashies > d4v41

it's mako and stax yelling at their team to do something

seoldam's long gone bro

keep the spirit high bro, i don't wanna see a regional matchup for a match with crowd

which interview? i wanna see

true he goes crazy while also playing diff agents for his team

duelist? i don't think so, he can really only play raze and reyna which is barely played. f0rsaken has a wider duelist and agent pool and is consistent so far throughout the tourney

jinggg owns rb's entire bloodline, best satchel movement and fragging power. rb? choker

i think jinggg is undoubtedly the best raze
behind mwzera ofcourse

flair

ratio

again, quickest glowup in 2 matches

he costed fnatic so many rounds against prx but now he finally showed up

underwhelming cause he can't single handedly carry like in the match against fpx?

PRX 2-0 LETS GO

losing in a 11-13 fashion and facing fpx and possibly fnatic in LB, just to possibly meet optic again
they can't catch a break

dude you remind me of GE fans after every apac event

hard to say, 2-1 DRX

get rb off duelists, make him play sentinel or kick him, buzz should take main duelist role even though he was a lil inconsistent back then, still better than rb.

MaKo's site anchoring in A is why drx didn't get steamrolled in bind
top 2 controllers itw imo

both steamrolling each other on each others map pick?
map 3 OT 16-14 in favor of either team

i am sorry apac jimmy......

oh yeah mb

this is why asia has 6 slots in champs

LETS GOOOO

TOP 5 CONTROLLERS ITW ATLEAST

this match is so fking good, fnatic midrounding is winning them some of these

too soon bro

game isn't even released there, idk if they're even allowed to do that

you're also the one that said buzz can't play other duelist, when he clearly can, maybe saying buzz raze is better is an overexaggeration, but he really can perform on par with rb on that agent. just rewatch the c9 match on split, which was also the only map VS took off c9. BuZz should have kept the main duelist role, end of it all.

specifically, i watched rb go 1-14 57 acs on raze on bind vs gmb. rb's raze is fine, buzz can easily frag out on raze as he showed in the c9 match in champs and kept the main duelist role, the point still stands, mans too inconsistent to be a duelist, and barely even plays raze rn. fk it, just keep buzz on jett and flex into chamber when rb finally plays raze.
