what should do instead

just give the win to mibr. lev wasnt winning that anyway

oh man looks like i need to change to lev on my pickems

apparently zeek has some link to norway so im not so sure abt that

yes, anything below 13-10 is relatively convincing. a game like 13-6 in my eyes is not even close

if chiwa can speak polish id take him

and yeah sayonara and alexiiik are better than kaajak but theyre not polish

number1_cNed_fan and number2_cNed_fan

come back 2026 october 11th when Koi lift Champions Sao Paolo with Kaajak as Champions MVP

yeah ur right kaajak is not good enough yet, the league he plays in is shit. i knew for a while it wouldnt be apeks winning ascension or anything. but kaajak still talented for the future, he was very good before apeks in a better league too. he is already the best player on his team which is made up of 2023 tier 1 players and hype (shit). id still want him on a polish roster for the future

also kamyk i can agree to an extent that he isnt that good, he struggles with his mental, not in a toxic way but a personal way. i think if he was given a good opportunity it would help him out

i agree with some of what u said but i disagree with what you think of some players

d3ffo doing very good in france and his entrying is very good, just like purp0
redgar ur right there probably are better options i just dont know of them
kamyk is def tier 1 material he showed me enough many times to believe it
kaajak is goated too

i think you underestimate tier 2 ngl cause these players are doing very well in their t2 leagues

one is basically my goated idea except pati for grubinho

i still think should be grubinho ngl. i think pati overrated :o

he can only play kayo second entry, everything else shit

i preferred us at kickoff

okay imagine giantx team but under spirit

koi or giantx?

he is an exceptionally poor igl i think

keep grubinho

this is an assterclass in calling
idk why we go so slow sometimes

we are allergic to planting, watching us prolong planting and retakes is painful asf

idk where this comes from, its a very unique issue

yeah mostly about the team being terrible and how much the owner sucks and stuff

i think theres other reasons but i dont like global esports because i hear a lot of them although they dont win very much. it would be like if i always heard input about bbl or mibr

g2 do

global so old for what

hes recycled but hes been all around for so long i think hes like a new player again

nah icebox should have victor on sage/harbor instead of ethan

or actually
kj- victor
viper- fns
harbor- s0m
crashies- gekko
ethan- kayo

whats your input

imagine him calling in russian. he will be like fns of emea

i just looked at d3ffo tier 2 stats and he is doing quite well now

i had to fit kaajak he is the future of emea. but yes pati would be better to start but this is a team built for long term and champions 2026

LMAO what would you prefer mortadelo

im sure zeek would love to represent your team

he got banned until 27th

KOI:
keep the coaching staff, idc about their strategy but i really enjoy watching them and their synergy

DROP: sheydos, not bad player but his time has come, he can join giantx and replace hoody
DROP: shadow, bad igl, bad shooter. i like him as a person but he is not good enough
ADD: kaajak, yes we will have two duelist but we can teach kaajak initiator, he already plays gekko and is goated
ADD: kamyk, great flex player, plays every role at a high level. once given the keys i think it will help with his mental and he will unlock
DROP: starxo, get zeek to igl if possible (prob wins ascension but if not he should come)
ADD: zeek, again if he doesnt win ascension
Final team: kamo, kaajak, zeek, grubinho, kamyk
Expectations: insanely strong team identity and passion. make all 3 international events is the expectation.

GIANTX:
idk the coaching staff, maybe beg engh to come back

DROP: hoody, washed, sheydos will be available, easy decision
DROP: f1tinho, bad player
ADD: sheydos, redgar and purp0 link up, he will shine in a new team, revitalization and such
ADD: d3ffo, put him on duelist and move purp0 to initiator/duelist
final team: d3ffo, purp0, cloud, redgar, sheydos
Expectations: prime gambit but without the good players xD. should make champions playoffs

im not bringing it up as an impressive thing, just as experience and history

actually nvm wtf is he doing i forgot this is 8.10

comp only works on 8.11

its okay because after my long illustrious career with stints in collegiate, tier 2 and even tier 1 secondary and maybe even primary caller i will be a vct coach like barbarr

https://www.vlr.gg/359708/new-map-metas

barbarr just stole my idea

koi saw this post and customized it

this is the greatest form of flattery

apeks 2023- 4 igls
acend 2021- 3 igls

any other teams like this?

can be zeek if he doesnt ascend. zeek also good caller brings ideas to the team. he second called a team to champions in 2021 and took over igling for a bit in 2023 on hereshits

shadow is so bad oml

we woulda beat karmine corp if he didnt pi 2/3 maps (the map he didnt pi was like 5/16)

sentinel can be kamyk

no he is second caller and his stats arent usually this bad

navi played good at champs tho, got group of death and made it very competitive and enjoyable

apeks play in a shit league. most of their players were ditched from tier 1 for lack of performing

molsi, avova and soulcas were t1 drops and hype is shit

kaajak carries that team atm. they had a good team 2023 but right now they are not good enough for franchise

clearly we spent all that time during shanghai working on our pistols

starxo duelist gimmick in 2024. it is not 2021 or 2020 or wtv koi camp thinks it is. starxo only plays when he can go kayo second entry

kamo is showing more and more promise. poland can make good duelists (kaajak, kamo, jas, maniek, zeek raze) and kayo players (zeek, pati, starxo, kamyk) but def not igls (only buld)

starxo duelist in 2024 ... havent we learned since 2021?

profek vs grubinho is tough to pick
weakness is def starxo igl, i think id put zeek igl and starxo co caller. starxo doesnt really belong in tier 1 now but i still think he can provide value with vibes or something
and maybe kaajak duelist

this team would be very strong but it wont exist because gonext will win ascension
probably need to add grubinho for profek and try for patitek for zeek

navi also got second in the emea league which is a very difficult environment to get results in
and 5th place aint bad, worse than their tokyo performance but better than their champs performance

this why you listen to bladee while browsing vlr, so you dont get understimulated

single elim doesnt mean theres a fraud winner, only that there might be good teams which exit early or bad teams which go on runs, (talon, paper rex for example) but not bad teams winning the whole thing

fnatic won, fnatic was the best team at the time. loud were second best and got second as they deserved
drx and navi fell off but got second in their regions right after lock//in, showing that at the time the best teams got the best results

sure the tournament wasnt a good way to judge teams, as some teams got unlucky with their bracket position. the tournament did not have the same competitive integrity as a masters or champions, but if lock//in was a masters with a lower bracket i think the top teams would have stayed VERY similar

lock//in was the first international event of franchising held in sao paolo
