100T literally only got out of the tournament at 5th-6th because of riot's terrible bracket for playoffs allowing playoffs before the 4th place match. And the rematch curse is very real. Out of 5 rematches in challengers 2 NA all of them result in the original loser winning:

Ghost beats NRG
NRG beats Ghost

LG beats Faze
Faze beats LG

100T beats XSET
XSET beats 100T

100T beats Faze
Faze beats 100T

Optic beats XSET
XSET beats Optic

NA:
yay Jett/Chamber
NiSMO Raze/Kayo (I think he plays skye too)
Marved Controller
C0M Initiator/IGL (i really don't know if his calling is the best, but it seemed good with EG, and he is a pretty good fragger)
Stellar Sentinel/Viper (i honestly didn't know what to put here, i honestly don't think any NA Sentinel player is particularly dominant rn, online at least).

guess he has has 6 alternate accounts

i mean i guess you would only replace alfajer with like marved or something? but that top 4 is definitely a list of some of the best LAN performing players (and alfajer has only played one series, too soon to judge whether he is a lan beast or not)

now that guiLd is out Fnatic will be exposed vs PRX and lose 2-0 and EU "ego" region with cry till Champions like last masters lmao

Well XSET only beat optic because of the rematch curse. The rematch curse happened 5 times in total throughout NA challengers 2 (out of 5 rematches).

FPX fluke win against Northeption…

8/0

NA 2nd seed wins while EU 2nd seed doesn't make top 4. Cool

where were you in the top 4 last time ?

100T record against EU teams:
100T 2-1 Gambit
100T 2-1 Acend

Gold 1

Just like how Liquid not making masters was a fluke right?

SEN placed higher in masters 3 than fnatic !!

I mean not one of the best fragging wise…

Zellsis can always play raze

SEN have 5 players

This team could actually win with zeek

FNC didn't even make Top 12 Stage 3 EMEA

nah there is a good spread of users are annoying from every region...NA...EMEA...SEA...SA...OCE...BR...LATAM. It seems like most of the Japanese people are cool tho :)

yeah but OpTic can beat DRX (also notice i have them win the rematch)

I think that Northeption, Damwon, and (maybe??) EDG are much better than them but who knows.

I think Guild's slow and methodical style could counter PRX's explosive style.

RB
Trexx
Zest
FNS
Alfajer
AYRIN
Marved
MaKo

Diversification isn't that good if you want to win. All the top teams last stage just had Optic and zeta players. Every match you play counts separately so

FNC boosted

Team Secret? Order?

Our best team has also never lost to Zeta, Paper Rex, NiP, Kru, DRX...

I personally think
Guild 2-1 PRX
I think the slow and methodical approach can counter the all out attack style of PRX)

Fnatic 2-1 FPX
Fnatic bested FPX 3 out of 3 times in EMEA challengers 2, and I think it will happen once again. FPX have only beaten Fnatic on Ascent (both times), as Fnatic were the best in Europe at Bind, Haven, Split, Icebox, and Fracture (Breeze is there permaban).

DRX 2-0 Leviatan
I think DRX will just outclass Leviatan, especially without Leviatan's MAIN coach. Not too sure tho Leviatan could definitely win

OpTic 2-1 XSET
Optic and XSET will trade wins (optic won 1st, xset won 2nd, optic won 3rd). Along with this Optic's performance against kru was very convincing. Should be a good NA Rivalry

too bad sick isn't there to play in it

KRU are the brazil slayers so

Many predicted optic going to lowers and qualifying through there in the group.

I don’t watch PL. mostly Italian or Spanish leagues

Lmao that’s fair

Yeah but shao only got praise after FPX won the first map. Now he isn’t getting much

It’s also just boring to see the same banter all the time

Yeah that’s true, didn’t think about that. Maybe us neutral people should stop giving them attention buts its hard to so

I don’t take it seriously, I just want to look out for the people in this world

no but at least stop hating on teams when you should be talking about how a team did really well

I followed football (not the fake american kind), and the community wasn't as negative as this...usually constructive

Constructive would be great too!

my feelings aren't hurt lol i just wish people had a positive outlook in life. Its ok tho people are stubborn.

I know but there isn't a single positive message. Im not offended or anything i just wish there was more positivity.

Why does this website always have to talk about how some team is so bad or played so bad. Why can’t we just celebrate the team or players who played well?

possible but Shopify is a smaller org than LG so :(

Shoop

i know them from Rocket League too
