the problem is we had a good map pool but we lost 2 maps and now lost all confidence on them atom decided to pick ascent once again even tho we lost there then icebox which is the best map of g2

its ridiculous because it wasnt even the lev defeat they really just literally didnt go out to play against lev and today they didnt also, we are fucking cracked our game worked and we arent playing the same way we used to because the players arent trusting on the gameplan, they play separately they dont clear corners together they barely get kills when they swing because they lost confidence i dont like the way we are playing now, we dont deserve shanghai if we keep playing like this

not even keznit bro heat didnt hit a shot today he has been insane but him and keznit havent played the same since 100t game

bro oxy got an as bad performance against g2 yesterday

being fair kru made a huge mistake deciding to be scrim partners with g2 omg its so stupid to have a scrim partner bro

bro no way you vanished since week 2 of regular phase to not get laughed at and you only come back to talk shit about kru

bro speaks too much for being a ranked merchant who always get cooked by keznit playing support role

they have qualed to internationals last year and did top 8 they arent that bad, if anything thats c9

new tho? some people wanted him on a big emea org since 2022 atleast tbh

leaf was the duelist on c9 and they really didnt change much about how oxy moves on the map in comparison to leaf so he just knew how to tunr him off and that made a top 3 player in americas look lost and get an L

zeta´s run on 2022 i think it was master reykjavik they won upset after upset liquid drx and paper rex then they got brutally murdered by optic 3-0 on lowers even tho the first map was pretty close

keznit my philadelphia goat and heat my north dakota goat

bro i swear we are the only region who still cares which sub region goes to shanghai, on apac you got 3 korean teams on top 4 and no one tells shit on emea you got 3 teams with turks no one gives a shit, yet here we fucking argue if sa is good enough, they scrim na teams and br teams daily they are simply as good as NA teams and are performing better on stage rn its not hard to understand imo.

if you play for holding site sure, if you play for retakes cypher wont help much unless he has ult or lurks but viper and astra are both already good lurkers on that map

tex stopped playing bad so i dont think its a good idea

get rid of marved get jawgemo demon1 brim astra jawgemo omen

im pretty sure they just hate sen fans and say it to piss them off its not that deep

bro he is one of the best players to ever touch this game, how tf you bench him? sell your fucking mustang or anything instead of benching him

they definitely got talent loud hired aspas and less for 2 caipirinhas and a feijoada because they were in fact not even tier 2, the problem is they dont have scouting and just decide to go for whoever tops in vcb without even watching their vods

aspas didnt leave because of money if he left their ass because of money he would be on bl00d rn

he played kay/o on maps he wasnt meant to play kay/o and it was his debut, compare his debut to havoc´s

he was main duelist before joining kru and he was one of the first options for lev if they didnt get aspas

ok, you dont like keznit but this guy used to be #1 ranked on br for a few weeks back on tier 2 just like aspas, would you want him? im sad watching him on the bench and he is young and cracked

he´ll surely play sentinel after the nerf lets be honest

being fair, watching how saadhak got all the potential of tuyz and cauanzin it doesnt sound bad, the problem is taco has a mental lock that he is not good enough for tier 1 even tho he had some games where he popped off last year.

get sacy back, cauanzin flex, saadhak on controller and tuyz on duelist

i miss prime y0y

cryo was him before demon1 spawned tbh, he is one of the cracked duelists who havent got a championship yet

IT WAS 23/5 BTW

lets be honest with how he´s been playing lately he deserves shanghai bro he even performed last year

no, no i mean that i didnt know that he is filipino, if he is filipino he definitely is tho

he is? i was gonna say invy

true, they need a replacement for xeppaa but the thing is he is the vibe merchant of c9 so idk who can fill his place

they are like 5th best, when oxy drops 70 they 3rd above 100t tho

cant blame them bro icy got a life game (ended positive for the first time ever on duelist)

tbh its fucked up

ngl sayf duelist alfajer sentinel is simply better imo.

with how much she got nerfed in terms of defense i think most people will try out breach gekko and kay/o as 2nd initiators more than playing 2 controllers with viper, she has 1 molly her ult is already expensive af, her smokes are one of the fastest to dismiss already

after all the time they should now bro they are stronger than ever imo

imo they could´ve announced it will be for shanghai way before tbh

pretty much the same that happens rn, the things is it also perjudicates teams who werent preparing to get 1st seed on stage 1 because they didnt care about the 3 points (lets say t1 for example) now that you get 1st seed you will start shanghai from playoffs and will have way more advantage because you will not only see how everyone plays, you´ll also now what they try for the new meta and what comps you can steal from them which is also a pretty huge advantage, now teams not only will have to worry about making shanghai but also about making 1st seed which will make finals fun af for viewers but it will be a hell for players.

the thing is this is great for viewers but bad for pro players because some teams (loud) base their playstyle on viper and having to make up new strats for shanghai is gonna take them more time than 2 weeks before shanghai starts so its very fucked for some teams and they are getting punished for playing the meta

they making teams not play the new patch (viper and cypher nerf patch) for playoffs but they making them play them on shanghai? idk man they will have prep time on scrims but not on officials before they play shanghai and thats weird af imo, i guess they did it this way because pacific teams already have shanghai teams locked but thats riot´s fault for making entire regions play their final games a week before others imo.

i ss it because i dont like saving shit on my pc that i have to delete later my bad

its not recency biased tbh, i count all the stage 1 and kick off

dude i swear im not a tenz glazer, tbf i´ve been asking for him to step out of the team when they struggled for years but now the numbers are right there and i watched his games he did good.

ok ngl i thought you were mad because of nrg because of your flair but even if it isnt the case, bro everyone on group alpha stat padded against furia and mibr yet they still up there and you only complaint against tenz? he played good maybe he didnt match mvp all games but he played the exact same teams g2 c9 and kru played and still pulled numbers close to them without qualifying

why isnt any nrg player on top 10 then?

he was s against nrg and maybe a bit against sen, but those are the teams who didnt make playoffs

he is the only non qualed to playoffs player that is on the top 10 rated in the league and its a group phase where everyone played the same amount of matches so...
