in theory i agree apart from the fnatic and BBL rating, they played the winners of the tournament and then struggled in a domestic game. I think i would put fnatic at 5 and then vitality and liquid were basically as good as each other so maybe i would put vitality above liquid but it's a coin toss

However i think its really hard to rank teams after an international, we don't know who has improved with their time away and we don't know how much time TH have had to practise, they likely will have a harder first week because they have only had a few weeks to practise

idk about navi but i think FUT and Heratics might both be better atm the moment but its hard to say

im surprised the Americas stream doesn't have subway surfers playing over the minimap

I mean im no analyst but in my opinion they just don't look like the same team from last year. Back then they had so many different set plays and util combos designs to give them advantages for example the fracture seize, brim ult with the stun off door contact - vs 100T at lock in

The team seems to have lost this, maybe Boaster likes calling more strategic plans rather than util combos and traps but something is clearly not working for them anymore

congrats on the win, it was well deserved

thats my boy

bro, the KRU that got 2-0ed immediately went through LCQ. If KRU after beating everyone gets 2-0ed and flops at LAN then so would sentinels.

KRU deserve their spot, even in an international tournament i think this KRU would beat sentinels in their current form. In the few weeks since Madrid they fell apart.

alternative viewpoint, they just won in Madrid, everyone has seen a tonne of their gameplans, everyone wants to beat them, everyone is counter strating them. They haven't been playing as good as they did at Madrid but other teams know their game. Game is rigged against them atm.

overcooking, I think they are just in a rough patch and are making some weird decisions they can't explain without telling their opponents too much

fair enough

professionally it's less formal. Also you started a debate by telling people incorrectly that it was more formal

yeah that is correct, i've heard the same and a quick google search backs us up

just google it, the internet says otherwise

you're is less formal, in every English exam i have ever taken i have been told to avoid contractions as they are informal

there is none, you are right, he is wrong. If anything 'you are' is technically better

yeah, 'high elo' is such a useless term. Outside of pro play everything in this game is for fun or for enjoying the grind to a better elo.

That being said the only time strats etc matter is in full radiant lobbies, otherwise most top players can just outaim/outgamesense everyone.

ngl i've found it too be the most interesting. it has been the most volitile region, no team seems to have found any real consistent form so every game feels like it could go either way (apart from KOI rip)

bro its the internet, its never clear if its satire.
Nothing about your comment actually makes me think its satire

lowkey kinda sad this is even worth commenting on, its just twitter banter, doubt boostio even remotely cares, he is probably just farming reactions

the better twin stuff is 100% just banter between EMIL and his brother, i wouldn't try and read anything into that.

As for replacing him, honestly if they can mce then they should 100% get him otherwise idk if there are any good coaches i would replace him for. If possible i would actually just start the roster from the ground up unless they get some major results in the later half of the year.

bro on fnatic he was bot fragging almost constantly towards the end. his skill is about the same as it use to be. He was only good because of his util, clutches and maybe coms

I mean maybe, i kind of think they should go about it in the other direction, replace players first and then coach. But lets be honest nobody outside of TL can really comment on which should be replaced first, none of us really know how the coach/player dynamic at TL really works so we can't know which order is better

yeah really loved watching karmine corp play at champs last year

i mean, without replacing almost every player i doubt they can do any better than qualify. If they win a single match at champions with this team even if they replace EMIL i will be shocked.

Maybe EMIL is a problem I've not said he isn't I just think it's blatently clear they have bigger issues

I mean without hearing Enzos coms it's hard to tell his impact, maybe he is the best igl the game has ever seen (doubt it but he's there for a reason i guess). But the team needs fresh talent

nah, you clearly had your eyes closed in 2021, he was the most aggressive sentinel in the world but a large margin.
2022 they had mitigating circumstances so i can forgive the poor performance.
2023/24 he's not looked that amazing but the team doesn't play around him making space so he just looks like an average sentinel player but slightly more cracked. They should honestly start playing more like Loud does with Less. He's the only other players that i can remember playing viper that aggressively.

you say no results but they qualified for champions every year with him, and they beat Fnatic. Thats probably whats keeping him there. I don't know that he's the issue tbh i think they just need newer talent.

or another option start from scratch, get an IGL and 4 insane aimer rookies from tier 2. Every team thats suddenly had success has followed this formula, might as well give it a try for a year.

I mean maybe he isn't the solution but I wouldn't call him the problem. Its kind of hard to tell what impact he has on the team. Honestly with Sayf they had some amazing peaks. When he joined Liquid he almost fixed that roster and got them to champions. I think he's probably a half decent coach with some mediocre tools. On paper getting 3 of the winning tier 2 team sounds good i just think in practise they lack fire power compared to the other EMEA teams.

Honestly the best fix i can think of is get 3 rookies that can just out aim everyone and either keep nAts and jamppi if they are happy IGLing or keep 1 and get an IGL.

if you guys copy the link and use a link expander then you get a change.org petition instead

got EG wrong though

they guessed the rankings almost perfectly

Tbf I have the same sentiment but towards Americas so I respect your take

other teams improved and Fnatic played poorly. Very hard to tell how good(or bad) KC and TH are until we see Madrid

TH and KC look so good at the moment. Maybe if Fnatic was playing on a different day they might have looked better but i think if they faced TH instead they still would have lost.

first game i ever watched was Sentinels G2 at berlin, the next game was the Gambit G2 and the icebox 13-0. Made me fall in love with the Viper lurking playstyle.

Yeah Keiko played well, but you are understimating how impactful support players are just by using util

yeah, it does look like its just their logo on a blue background.

if you read my comment then you can clearly tell that I too have been disappointed, but its the first half of the first map

its the first half of the first map, stop judging the team off the first 12 round they played. If they lose the match then sure judge them all you want

that and they nerfed every other duelist

nah, bro was doing fine in NA, just threw some maps. Also he didn't play duelist on NRG. Now he is back on his comfort roles

pray for a close match, with lots of cool montage clip moments and then just enjoy thats how i treat most games unless its like Europe or a PRX game

hard to tell, they have had issue but we don't know if thats going to be consistent or just a day 1 thing

The thing is pro players clearly don't value chamber at the moment. It doesn't matter that he is good on Lotus if there are better picks and it seems that way based on recent tournament data. NA open Qualifiers he had at most a 15% pick rate and that was on bind. He only got played at champions by like 3 teams and half the games were on bind as well.

Maybe we will see him pick chamber up again on bind but for now pro players don't pick chamber on other maps.

it's not a chamber meta. He's only popular on certain maps atm. Also Yay was an incredible dualist before chamber was released. He use to be a jett player

haven is a weird map, its barely t sided anymore at least in pro play. was 50/50 at champs and was CT sided at tokyo. I think the small choke points actually make it CT sided when you have coordination and good info. So it should still be T sided in soloQ

it was T-sided at champions, masters tokyo, sao paulo, EMEA league, Americas league, EMEA LCQ, Americas LCQ, Pacific LCQ and china champions qualifer. The only major league i found below a 50% win rate was the main pacific league. So i think it always has been T sided.

kind of weird that lotus was the only CT sided map of pacific league but was t sided for every other event including pacific qualifiers.

he needs a lesson from Ange1
