its time to get something off of gecko and put him on jett

i mean i can see a rematch between LOUD and GenG. If we want to go by rematch logic we have already seen those match ups regionally twice. could lead to a redemption arc for Loud to have them play GenG

no franchise league to motivate development of rosters. Trust that more good rosters will form. EDG needs more challenge to prepare them for internationals.

This is a bad map for KC so I wouldn’t say anything yet

both 2-0 teams are higher seeded and can’t play each other in the first round

I think they should import an assistant coach and then get an analyst. They need to absorb ideas from other regions along with their current ones to be more challenging internationally and to clean up their play overall. Most of their matches are super scrappy

Having it be balanced for now is fine but I would love to see this change to reward regions for success across many years. Keeping it at 4 slots minimum per region but having a expanded champs with more slots for the more successful regions

Can we stop trying to replace qck god damn 😭. If they underperform by the end of the season then fair enough but this is happening every game win or lose

They definitely can and we’ve seen it happen lol. Would be a great game but for the sake of Americas dominance I’d prefer to see it in an uppers final and grand finals not in a first round of playoffs

People are reactionary. A player has a bad tourney he is a fraud. People need to have patience

It’s China’s first year with franchising so there will be many bad rosters. I’ll give it some time as they build more competitive rosters other than EDG. We have seen individual players play amazing.

This is why you show patience. Teams and players will have good and bad games. So just keep supporting your teams players through those bad moments

Do teams that win international tournaments get their region extra spots or is that not a thing anymore?

It’s the first event of the year, based on the results, we shouldn’t conclude which region is superior. Save all those conclusions for larger tournaments with more representatives from each region

I wish they rewarded fans that bought a champs winners team bundle. More incentive for people to buy bundles and a something extra for those who bought wisely

Great pick on Kayo, Saadack has been insane with him

If Less is playing insane as usual then there is not a lot EDG can do

Honestly not a bad performance for an 0-2 tournament. Compared to FPX, there were many positive takeaways. In the end, with all that they were still overrated heading into the tourney. Regardless, they’ll continue to improve as individuals. Boo will need to improve his calling, looks like they got read easily in those crucial moments

both 2-0 teams cant play each other

we saw this with G2 in Americas, the first to tell the other team to sit down is gonna lose

W prediction wake up bro they did the thing

no, what made Loud so successful was that move to keep Less on Viper except on Breeze. I guess with your hypothetical we can see something similar to EG where players share the viper duties. In their breeze comp itd be a pretty easy tuyz and qck switch. If they continue their comp philosophy for most of the maps the most logical idea is to have qck learn controller and keep the no senti. Regardless with Tuyz and Less playing well in their roles it makes no sense to move that around for qck to play something else. The team requires more practice and he will get better as the year goes on

throw in dephh and this might be worse than 2023 DFM

how many more years do you give asuna before giving up on him?

recently the rest of the edg players would help out but we are back to get kk some help. very disappointed in CHICHOO who was considered a top 15 player in the event leading up to masters

honestly all three inactive maps are better than ascent so any choice is a good choice

Do not take less off the most picked agent right now he is destroying.

talk to me about Berlin

woah woah slow down there friend one game at a time

many talk about first game jitters and I believe that was the case but TH is a great team and it would have been close either way

I didn’t find any of the game today boring. If anything the SEN KC game looks like a great game skill wise

you never know if KC win titles theyll do enough to keep him around. Unless he gets a mega NA offer which would probably come from a org with more money like NRG G2 maybe even LEV if they keep wanting to get NA players

thats known info but this thread talking about replacing due to quality of play which is not the case here

I mean any replacement for Jinggg would have been a downgrade. He is a top 5-10 player itw

I am chilling bro, just happy they got there

you are probably right lol but we will see

reactionary stuff, these guys are a great team, 2 rounds from a win shouldnt merit these types of threads

if it doesnt break view records we failed

KC not letting him go, insane team with an insane coaching staff its a perfect situation. If he decides to go back to NA it would be a no brainer for SEN to try

It was a pretty obvious draw, SEN KC will break records and EDG will have the chance to beat the other APAC team

Narrate pls be a sleeper agent and have a rare bad match

Passionate about the game nothing to be ashamed of

on paper it looks like 1st seeds smashed the 2nd seeds but the matches were insane

When NAVI play?

Horrible thread, he played insane

EU fans especially that one kcorp guy were talking too much shit during the match

easiest way to speed run top 3 to bottom 3

how does it feel to have #1 in APAC locked in for the year

for 2025

have you seen NRG's socials
