both good but both of them swapping roles every season isnt helping at all.

ok, if all the teams play on their best shape, who passes after loud? because i think drx and na´vi are close af

ok, remove kingg and add melser then or boostio

what about goated flexes such as chronicle kingg victor saadhak jamppi etc?

yes, we could´ve had 8 teams and a perfect double elim playoffs formar :D

zeta qualified winning his grand final against a team who shit on liquid

i meant there is no edg haters btw

the edg haters in question:

bump

VAMOS KRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

te entiendo mano a mi tambien me gustan los 2 equipos

do you crypto scam? cuz if not i wont support you

https://www.twitch.tv/keznit1 duo with nagz (yellowflash) :D

but how is he going to op on neon tho? didnt asuna played it sometimes because that way cryo can play op with chamber or anything like that?

tbh kru still has the chance to beat eg´s run

kru vs loud grand finals, aguero brings messi from miami to attend and they break the viewership record of any e-sport match ever, saadhak is getting a 11-3 to 11-12 comeback by kru on decider map and then tuyz and cauanzin break their arms mid round so they call a tech pause and staff tells them if they dont find 2 players they´ll lose the map, saadhak stares at all entrances waiting to see anything and he sees the reflex of a light on a bald head......
its sacy and he is with pancada, they say "manito, we got the sen bag, we are here to win the final with you" and they make it to overtime, keznit watches all of his teammates underperforming while he has 50 kills breaking the kill record on a single map after 10 overtimes on 20-20 he stares at the backstage, he sees trembolona and dgzin running at him with a knife but they gets knocked out by onur´s punches and kingg ties them making a rope with his long hair, onur looks at keznit´s eyes and yells "VAMOS KEZNIT YOU OWN TACOLILLA YOU GOT THIS" and keznit goes deus mode, he aces and is now on 21-20, all of loud is clueless on how to beat the brazilian slayer, they start the round and aspas first kills keznit, then hides on a corner, kru is on attack side and they dont have time to plant the spike, as every player trades, only aspas and klaus left, klaus runs at backsite to search for the spike but he has a feeling... he says "wait, idk where aspas is located at, there is no time to plant, what should i do.... finally he yells "ASPAS I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, ILL CLEAR THE LEFT CORNER", he one taps aspas and wins the grand final, latam gets their first international trophy as all the people from usa and trump stares with their mouth wide open, they say "wow, what an underdog, from 0-9 to this", kru´s coach, atom takes a microphone and all smiley says towards the crowd "HEH we´ve been saving strats" he removes a mask from his face and reveals himself, the crowd cant believe it, ITS SHAHZAM, he´s been saving strats since 2021 only for this moment....

rest idgaf

true, i forgot

zeta´s group aint that bad ngl (asides from fnatic, ofc)

yup, so we can send those shitters home

they played more matches than any other this lcq and are facing a 3rd place of masters and 1st of apac on their first match, i wont stop doubting btw, but just a lot of grind in a row tbh, which can both go great or wrong.

faze wont win but atleast babybay does good interviews

yup and add to paper rex that its jingg´s last dance and something´s first

W

Paper rex the first and last dance storyline:

paper rex played with a sub on masters and got 3rd place after starting the year roughly on lock//in and getting doubted by all of the world, s0mething was a tier 2 japan player who used to FARM kills on that region proving an insane mechanical skill breaking all the kill records for a individual vcl performance on a bo5, yet he got discreditted by people saying he was just good on tier 2 and he got signed by paper rex only to get the overall mvp of pacific, everyone wanted to see him on masters but his visa didnt got accepted in time so he had to watch from home, now he is visa ready and is attending this champions and wants to prove all of his haters wrong.
jinggg one of the overall goats from pacific, is just on his last ever chance to win a international trophy despite of being the best raze itw and young enough to have a long career, but he has to serve to his country after this making it impossible for him to play ever again, with this and after a great masters rating shocking everyone with flashy plays, a lot of pacific fans root for him to get not only his first and last trophy, but pacific´s first international tournament win.

Edward gaming the underdog storyline:

EDG a team conformed by 5 chinese players got their first ever appearance on 2022, even though they didnt even had a proper server to play on since the game itself wasnt launched on china, everyone got shocked after they were invited to east asian lcq, conformed by korean and japanese teams, surprisingly they managed to sweep through all of them without getting a single lost, but got out of the tournament very early after losing to paper rex and team liquid, they got invited to lock//in without a win at all yet again and everyone started doubting riot´s decisions on implementing "free chinese slots" for a region without a proper official compeittive environment.

Masters tokyo got announced and riot announced a chinese qualifier for chinese teams, with a tournament qualifier, where the best 2 teams were going to make it to masters and as everyone expected edg, made it to this event, without any expectative but to get eliminated early, their first match started, they faced an underdog t1 who beated edg and sent them to lower bracket where they were going to face one of the clear favourites of the tournament "natus vincere" with 4 former masters champions of 2022, put up a hell of a fight but finished giving a underdog their first ever international win, with a masterclass from "zmjjkk" aka "kang kang" this wasnt their only win since they got the revenge against t1, and beated loud on playoffs to get a 6th place after losing to paper rex, this tourney they dont only have a chance to prove that their masters run wasnt a "lucky run" but to also get revenge against the actual paper rex team after losing to their downgraded version with a sub, and also to get that champions title since they are one of the favourites now.

Giants gaming, the emea dark horse storyline:

GIants gaming its an spanish org with emea players which got many critics, one of them is "being made of leftovers" from other emea teams such as g2, 2022 na´vi and tier 2 giants, after a rough lock//in, and average vct EMEA playoffs where they were just 1 bo3 away from attending masters, things didnt go too bright for them, the emea lcq came, and they started on a pretty good streak defeating kc and koi, becoming the first ever spanish organization to attend a champions, but still not even close to being a favourite,making it through this group is their chance to make a statement and prove they are a solid team internationally and not only another emea team who is trying to get close to fnatic.

KRU Esports, the greatest comeback of all time storyline

Kru is a latin american team created by the superstar football player, Sergio "kun" aguero, on 2021 they shocked the world with a champions run where they beated some clear favourites such as fnatic and sentinels, but got knocked out by the former masters champions Gambit esports, after the run they got seemed as latam E-sports symbols and won a lot of fans, but their next year didnt go as bright as everyone expected, they started 2022 qualifying to masters beating their rivals, australs but with a new face, team leviatan, on that first masters they were placed on a group with former nv, optic, and team liquid, they got knocked by both of these without looking any similar to their 2021 version.

after this incident they managed to qualify to any international event, but got bombed out of any single one on groups, underperforming against the former champions of every single ond of them, but still managed to get inside of the franchising program of riot on the current year, but 3 of their players departed the org, joaquin espinoza aka "delz1k", roberto rivas aka "mazino" and, angelo mori aka "keznit", but brought the players melser xand and axeddy as 6th player. they got bombed out of the showmatch tourney valorant lock//in, and everyone called out kru for changes, so they brought back keznit, hired daveeys´s former coach atom, and announced the departure of xand and leazo the head coach. they started the league with a 0-2 against furia, and a promising 1-2 against mibr, but started to get close losses until they got the catastrophic 0-9 score, no one was happy with this, latam fans, and international fans started doubting kru and making fun of them for this poor performance and everyone yelled for roster changes, but kru kept working on silence.

there was a lot of sadness, kru lost one of their stars, couldnt win a single match despite of being pretty close a lot of times, klaus and nagz got some of the worst individual performances of the entire league and because of this everyone wanted them out of the roster, this wasnt all because sadly for their fans and region, they couldnt attend a international tourney for the first time on all of their org´s story, they only had a single elimination match against mibr which had already beated them before to prove this roster still had it, and they managed to stomp mibr, shutting the mouths of a lot of people as klaus showed a masterclass performance clutching and owning his rivals on many rounds throughout the match, they had another single elim match against furia, one of the clear favourites to win the LCQ and a team which showed no struggle against kru on the regular phase match, and with a 1st map win kru were against the ropes, they had to win 2 maps in a row, and with a masterclass on ascent, one of the best furia maps, they managed to get a decider where furia again, had them against the ropes since they were 2 rounds away from beating kru on a 11-7 scoreboard, but after a klaus and nagz masterclass proving all haters wrong they managed to comeback it and started their 2-0 run on lcq, they faced leviatan, their latam rivals? they owned and got an 3-0, they faced c9 the strongest team from the regular phase where they got 0-9? they 2-1´d them and got a 4-0 run, and after a lev comeback on lower final they got a grand final against leviatan, their longtime rivals but still got the win 3-1 and qualified to champions.

kru is looking strong, but they dont have an easy group at all and are going with everything they have to this international tournament and try to get as far as they could, to prove their lcq win isnt just a cinderella run.

only 2 of these teams can make it through this group, im going to cry ngl

saying this with a flair of the only emea team who lost to both NA teams in a row has to be braindead af.

0-2???? giants is mid af

yo? feliz

if fnatic doesnt make it its gonna be the biggest choke of entire emea history

group a is the group of flashy plays and over aggresive matches, all maps will end in 30 minutes, even if there are overtimes LMAO

mazino back to kru on flex and daveeys locks sentinel role

bros made me suffer from lev vs kru and now i´ll suffer from prx vs kru LMAO

his nades and satchels on last round won them the round man, he delayed the entire lev retake with it many rounds on this lotus

emea talking like fnatic doesnt smash them harder

primer colombiano que pisa una champions

yeah, he still pretty good tbh, hope if he doesnt want to stay as a 6th, he goes to a team on br or latam tier 2

bro won an lcq props to him

because they get kills wdym mindless? a lot of people hide on smokes

almost no one had them getting to this instance on lcq tbh, everyone thought they were out since sen vs lev, hope you do good next year even if you change shit or nah.

good list but id add talon or 100t over ge considering the talent they have and the results they brought

jealous cuz your bottom emea teams could never with their mid talent and coaching staff?

its a meme, its a wordplay between motoneta/camioneta (motorcycle/car) and leviatan, which is like saying lev´s boat, or lev´s hypetrain

nah jzz is the duelist and he played insanely against kru tbh, only after keznit

there was a lower bracket on the first masters reyykjavik wtf are you waffling about?????????????

if patiphan ever wins a champions/masters then we´d have a case

shyy dropped 32 and all of lev woke up later, goat behaviour

if this made sense fpx wouldnt have won a masters bro. because they went to lowers on both playoffs and group phase, double elim INDEED is a way more competitive format, which proves who was the best team

yeah that makes sense, but i asked because before you edited it you said a group was likely to be loud nrg fnc and navi and that sounded wild ngl because they could´ve atleast 2 americas and 2 emea

tf nrg and loud can be on the same group?

i think scream hasnt played with a proper igl since 2020
