thanks

FNC win Lotus, Split and Bind are next which EG isn't that great on the former (lost to PRX with sub and FNC themselves), and Bind is their permaban. Not trying to curse, just letting NA fans know it's time to sleep

Don't watch too many games but I think Pansy and hypoc make the most hype moments a lot more iconic, but Bren and sideshow are better casters overall

He's the GOAT IGL in NA, but his fragging is worse than Boaster, and the other four FNATIC players simply diff anything you can possibly make in Americas.

Neither was Boostio, runi before potter and mce. Obviously it's a bit of a long shot, but I think that with a great coach he has the potential

The only superteams from Americas that will be able to beat the likes of Fnatic need to have kingg as IGL (alongside a really great talent development coach like mce or potter to make his calling better). He's by far America's best IGL fragger and can speak English, and without him it's impossible for Americas teams to compete 1-1 mechanics-wise with Fnatic with language as a factor, even if you take the best possible players.

4, I'm convinced FNC are unbeatable on Lotus, Bind, Fracture, and Icebox

EG's mental is boomed, congrats FNATIC on winning Tokyo! FNATIC's Fracture is about as strong as their Lotus and all five players are online today.

Looking at map pick/bans it's hard to see where EG gets their win. If FNC ban Pearl, even if EG pick fracture FNC still have a great chance to win that map since they are insane on it and EG have run the same fracture comp for years now and it will be figured out eventually, and if FNC don't ban Pearl it's probably even worse for EG since FNC have been prepping Pearl and EG, an anti-strat team, has no VODs. On the other hand, FNC have a free win on Lotus or Bind, so FNC are guaranteed 1-0 up and have a great chance at each of the next two maps. 2-0 FNC most likely.

GOAT

LOUD are still a very good team, just an off game. If anything this is great for Americas that all three teams have a good shot at winning

They manage to squeak through a win from T1 and then go on a lower bracket playoffs run

so we're losing 1k

Only one right answer, kingg is the second-best flex for $4

s0m, qw1, saadhak, kingg, suygetsu

1. C9
2. LOUD
3. NRG
   • Tier Break -
4. FURIA
5. 100T
6. EG
7. LEV
   • Tier Break
8. SEN
9. KRU
10. MIBR

I'm an idiot

Hiding strats on other maps maybe?

What happened???

1. LOUD
2. Cloud9 (could be 1 right now)
3. NRG
4. FURIA
5. EG
6. LEV
7. 100T
8. SEN
9. KRU
10. MIBR

Fnatic probably win but these odds are insane for Furia. This is not a 85/15 game, especially since this is Fnatic's pick. I probably am wrong but the odds are too good not to take

Round 4

Dgzin > Cryo

Thanks for the money guys, much appreciated :)

I'm rooting for C9 and I don't bet, but 2.35 odds on DRX is criminal. Enjoy the free odds guys

Busy so just tuned in now. How are NRG and C9 looking? Does C9 have a chance against DRX?

did people forget about marved?

t1 roster makes no sense, ban on smokes ??

SEN fans are chill now, the annoying ones left with shahzam to G2

C9 has been banning breeze while 100T bans Ascent ?

Am I missing something here? How is RRQ franchised but not Bleed?

1. FNC (although of course we've always said this until the LANs)
2. LOUD
3. C9 (assuming yay and trent/zekken. I think C9 are a little worse than the other two though, unless Xeppaa returns to 2021 LCQ form)

Obviously it will depend a lot on team's structure, but on paper these rosters look kind of nuts.

Mitch gone

I mean you said it, he's been the best player for all of 2022 and that's how he's hyped. Pretty reasonably rated.

Oh yeah trexx or Cloud, both are nuts

Redgar
Shao
Nats
trexx
Chronicle

Genuinely seems unbeatable, thoughts?

It was a good run, hope they can all find franchised teams for 2023

Saadhak and LOUD in general are so nice and wholesome, wouldn't want any other team to win Champs (except Optic of course)

Optic choking, games over. LOUD 3-1

Alright, thanks for money

LOUD 15-13 Loud map pick
LOUD 13-11 Optic map pick
LOUD 13-9 Loud map pick

Mark my words, it will be a 3-0 LOUD, 3-1 max if yay drops 30. LOUD have two bans, it would be impossible for LOUD to lose.

Victor << aspas
yay > Less
Marved << pancada
crashies = sacy
FNS < saadhak

GGs, congrats Brazil, well deserved.

LOUD 3-0, two map bans is just too much for Optic to win. Congrats on Champions, well deserved

What a game, see you in 2023 <3

He may always be bottom fragging but I swear all his kills are so impactful

??????????

DRX will recover, up 7-5 and now they go onto defense, after they win Fracture its Ascent and Haven. There's no way Optic win either map, DRX is just too good.

Man has won 3 rounds now for DRX singlehandedly. Not trying to discredit them, but holy shit Mako is popping off

Loud and Optic are friends outside of the game, both nice teams outside of the server and it's good to see both doing well. Same with DRX, my favorite 3 teams are in top 3 rn :)

Optic has a pretty terrible defense side, not over yet
