yeah a lot of jett players see diminished stats. i mentioned it

i think they should stop putting him on jett then, clearly plays wayy better on raze and with the jett nerf oit makes sense

gotta figure out what to do when tenz cant play omen and zekken cant play raze (or you just make them play raze and omen all the time)

zekken has 1.3 raze kd and .9 jett kd

tenz has 1.2 omen kd and .6 kayo kd 😭😭
last 60d btw^

i doubt its this simple but what if zekken just isnt that good on nerfed jett and tenz is just not that good on kayo

also note im not saying sen are bad, but there is something holding them back from being the best team in the world, which they could/should be

ur right

i think zekkens lack of jett and tenz lack of kayo hurts them so bad rn

guys i think we missed that zekken is a bottom 1 jett

true. loud did all that for 35k prize money 😭😭

obv gen g deserve this win but i hope they dont keep this trend of yearly opening events being so small. i think they made madrid 8 teams to see if they can get the same viewership with way less investment, which im sure they have

😭😭

emea also has a good tier 2 scene. they have a lot of good teams but no great team atm. i definitely wouldnt say no hope but they arent looking good for a trophy this year

estrella, jemkin and xffero are goated

apac has 7 good teams, not 5

actually true and not cope even tho it sounds like it

although he actually did play bad on lotus

they will ban sunset against either team
and can ban the other teams best map too
this is so easy for them

penny and bones went crazy against thinking men. both teams had new players who they havent practiced much with.

thief played new role and still did good

thinking men played deadlock but lost 13-6 despite screwface doing good on it

i think both teams will show better performances soon

youre welcome!!

you could say this means something is carrying but i think it means hes the x factor

LMAO true

i still think its worth mentioning because rrq, a team that went 0-2, still looked really good with all the right context

wtf

izu good but hes not close to karon

dfm isnt gonna be that bad this year. they have a good team but one shit player is holding them back still

rrq, t1, drx, and team secret are still around..

team secret almost beat gen g (13-15 map 3)

rrq almost beat gen g twice (11-13 in both 2-1 matches)

t1 was looking like the best apac team before malfunctioning against prx

drx had to play the best team in the world (unlucky)

apac is lowkey deeper than americas rn

typical american snack to eat alongside extra large burger and extra large milkshake

npc ass snack

idk

bro youre goated

bro youre goated

[madrid pickem which is perfect](https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/026da900
he also picked sen > prx and later gen g to win it all

he probably gets it perfect

first ever perfect pickem for a masters event?

only 3 people have come so close.

lock in 10 points off
2 people were two games off (the games were first rounders)

and the most tragic of all.. 1 game off...
ubt was only 5 points off perfect, and it was an irrelevant ass matchup which caused it

its some random guy in india whos on his first ever pickem 😭

hasnt even made a post yet

67% thought they werent even a play in team

yes king i agree

its so over for prx or sen.

prx and sen have shallow pools and gen g can just remove their best maps and win 3-0/3-1

1. gen g
2. rex regum qeon
3. paper rex
4. sentinels
5. idk rest are bad

really good

rrq is good too. their only games were against the best team itw and they almost won both times

v unlucky. might be the second best team itw

tbh the ratings are overall pretty low

i think the jett nerf made a big impact for most players. you cant see these stats on vlr nicely but jetts overall in general rating is bad

also zekken bottom 1? below life and autumn who lost every map they played

they choked because they had 2 ban advantage?

7 maps in the game and they literally pick the whole series to what they want. upper final winner should win grand final

ermmmm

PRX has won upper final twice before, recieving not only a grand final appearance but 2 bans in a bo5. 2 bans in a bo5 is so powerful because it means that your opponent does not have any bans and cant ban your best map or their worst. you can also remove not just your worst map, but your worst map and their best map. this advantage is so strong that no team should ever lose with the advantage.

prx lost twice with this advantage, which is both times theyve had it.

gen g now have the advantage themself, if they lose it would be the third time their trophyless region has sold and upper final advantage

big day for asia!!

gen g wins finals 3-0

only real good team in madrid

FIRST CLUTCH OF MADRID

1/32

https://imgur.com/a/haeWbN7

Tokyo or champs? Tokyo was crazier but they didn’t win so I can see both answers

Yeah people say it was a fluke all the time but it’s not even one of the best underdog stories. They were known to be good

In kickoff 68% of Pickems had rrq winning

I was one of 32% but many thought they weren’t winning even a play in team despite them obviously being one

EG Istanbul
Eg tokyo (didn’t win but wasn’t even sure if demon1 was playing + it was a miracle they even made the playoffs for qualifying to this event)
Acend champs
Gen g Madrid
Zeta 3rd place (didn’t win but they were literally expected to be the worst team but ended third which is still a lot of prize money they weren’t expected to get)

Every other winner was pretty expected

Tenz will never recover 😭

Yes but that’s because gen g have a deep pool unlike Sen and prx. Gen g is better at bo5s because of their large pool

No. 1 each and loud would win 3-2

If Sen win this game they win it all easily. If they lose they’re not even gonna beat loud in LF

Idk what’s up with him. He was on a very good stretch of maps before this. I think he’s never found consistency since his injury. He is good but he n doesn’t play like it all the time
