globally competitive and grouped twice? you're a top 4 emea team, all im saying is that instead of third in emea you are now fourth, its not hate my bro
like i said youre welcome to think liquid will win this time i guess, even if its the same liquid and a better gentle mates
is your argument that liquid is a larger organization than gentle mates or that they would beat gentle mates in a series
because liquid is a larger org with more money and resources - and they did lose to gentle mates in a series
i think you misunderstand the word agenda and have an issue with me because of it, because when i made this post, i was referring to the things like things like timing/format not political agenda
an agenda is just a plan for talking points
you don't have to reply especially if you dont have an opinion to share - which is why i am yapping about the ewc again
learn that u have no enemies bro nobody forces anyone to reply online to strangers, you're just offended in one way or another
im not trying to hating, sorry, its the truth, the two best EMEA teams were facing several issues and one just didn't attend
the objectivity of determining the best team in the world at the time reykjavik took place was skewed because of politics
nothing similar is happening at the ewc
because its a single elim where most teams were playing with some if not entirely new rosters on stage, navi was a top 4 team and wasnt even top 3 in EMEA the rest of the year - simply because they hadn't changed their roster
Liquid lost immediately - embarassingly, but they were the first team to beat fnatic
No kickoff, no group stage, just single elim all the way
It's just not equity to not have stage time for all teams prior to be thrown into single elim knockout rounds
I'm not saying lock in is worthless, but it lacks the same competitive edge that other events have, you cant tell me results would be the same if they played a kickoff instead of just inviting all teams to show off franchising
there is literally nothing that detracts from this tournament, you might not like the format, but its merit based unlike lockin, no meta changes like lockin, much bigger prize pool than lock in, no teams or players are missing like iceland 2022 (FPX and part of fnatic) there are no teams with major changes - just a few minor changes
from a competitive and monetary standpoint this tournament is huge, its hosted by saudis, yeah, but saudis run every major in CSGO too, are csgo majors not majors either?
lockin was mickeymouse because no quals and single elim the entire way through,
iceland 2022 is mickeymouse because of visa issues
what is mickey mouse about this
will be much harder to win than lock in, bigger prize for first than toronto
to the players it will be just as important, but the fans will act like it doesnt matter because it doesnt fit an agenda </3 ripperoni
listen its all subjective, you can think that and i think a team with patitek and serial lose to m8, just like they did before
none of this really matters because liquid will qualify off points but theyre still going to lose lol
sad but true for lulquid, grouped again after millions invested
well im not sure if you realize but the players that were playing at that point are not there anymore, they replaced the players that already beat liquid with better players
mind blown
we dont employ nats for the highest salary in the region, or we would make plenty of tournaments lmfao
it'll be with lockin and iceland 2022 as the lower level events

cant even beat click and zyppan brev
in higher elo if an enemy team knows u have outlaw they just time the reload, its pretty easy to exploit and consistent counter
franchising is for competition and tier 2 + tier 3 is for development, the issue is that players who used to be good enough for tier 1 are now in tier 2 looking for liveable salaries (when its meant strictly for development)
riot has an enviornment where only the 12 tier 1 teams plus maybe 5-20 teams in EMEA/APAC/AMER Tier 2 are making liveable wages (which isn't an issue, most are young af and couldnt earn more elsewhere)
i hope when riot redoes partnership we get a german partner cuz lowkey theyd be better than giantx
YOU DONT HAVE CHRONICLE ON YOUR TEAM STOP IT
Does this mean hes moving to france to compete or competing online from way out there east? IDK how much valiant would pay
good for the kid
tired of people roleplaying like liquid dont have two huge liabilities and BBL is just an average roster heretics have shit mentality and boo is a choker
the worst aimer on gentle mates is kamyk and hes one of the best in emea lol
ngl was being delulu, we arent gonna beat fnatic yet but the rest of the teams are so free
emea fans need to accept this region is free and that m8 will save EMEA in paris
this trophy was promised to us
turkey has the most high level young prospects, more than korea or russia combined lol
best isnt on this list and i dont think theres many russian or koreans his age better
when comeback shits on both turkish teams this split will u still cry or u gonna support ur boy
bbl and th are so so beatable
liquid and fnatic are the only teams id say are like actually solidified for champs
beat liquid with click and zyppan and BBL fluked map 1 then won a mid map 2
we win now cope
navi is still a 5th/6th team
gentle mates are simply going to champs, bookmark and come back when top 3 is solidified
navi has lots of issues and theyve never been midrounding, to each their own though - its subjective, there are no stats for midrounding btu when i watch navi thats not really been the issue to me
fair but aspas teams are always better at champs than second masters its one of the weird like consistencies that actually holds true through the years
i dont think goked is perfect but for now there isnt much better
u can criticize goked but the truth is he has a rookie igl and that rookie igl is currently running circles around one of the best ever
you cant do that without good coaching
the first time i have seen M8 play an established IGL like Saadhak Boaster or Angel and not just crumble
respect to minny
some real resilience lately
ik but its fun to watch been so many clutches this series
JTAYY GIVE US VYSE CHAMBER COMP ON ASCENT VEQAJ DUELLISTTE
this guy made someone who actually came forward about issues delete his post
cock teased all of NA
did nothing
ultimate blue baller
found it, nice clip
I really think the prep time vs momentum argument is way overblown
teams are just WAY closer than ever, and the other thing is that matchups make games
I think the issue with the 1st seeds is that they had the wrong meta read, and that the teams in swiss were able to realize that earlier and be adjusted by then
theoritically a good 1st seed has a BETTER meta read than swiss teams, as well as extra prep time
havent seen ace
minny is outcalling the fuck out of angel on some rounds too its kinda crazy lol
minny and proxh, i dont think anyone thought theyd be this good as rookies, gotta respect that even if his comps are ass
such an abusive relationship
this proxh brudda is insane
