you being immortal doesn't have anything to do w how much you know about the game at a pro level. Also out of the "main duelists", demon1 quite literally took the least first contacts out of everybody at champs so idk what the hell you're saying lol

I have TE being as good as SEN, T1, TL, and DRX or better. I think they have a good read on the meta and will surprise a lot of people this tournament.

yeah I understand that, I watch VCT CN through sliggy and I am also Chinese lol. A lot of VCT CN viewers weren't surprised when TE beat EDG and honestly put them right where EDG stand. I wouldn't be surprised if TE get a map or upset G2.

feel like people don't watch VCT CN at all and don't know how good TE actually is lol

2024 champs kangkang is definitely higher than Berlin cned, Tokyo kangkang, Tokyo demon1, Shanghai wo0t

and the rest are very complicated. I think people are genuinely deluded in past performances and have not looked at footage nor the stats of the matches they are looking for. cned didn't have top 5 in any statistic, and didn't even win MVP for his team. wo0t had the worst performance of his entire team in the GF. there is not a single match in the entirety of 2024 champs where kangkang underperformed

he averaged 10+ first kills for 6 matches in a row, while top fragging, while having a higher rating than all of his team mates. him not being the best player on EDG for champs is heinous work and what matters more than literally showing up when its all on the line I don't get this point at all. I can't even think of 10 performances that would be above zmjjkk

saying not even top 10 is insanity, like genuinely some looney tunes shit

this is the most insane take of this thread. Brodie he had a 6 game spree of dropping +10 first kills, have more than 15 first kills of the 2nd most FK (miniboo) without going to lowers, and dropped the most amount of kills at the biggest event In the games history when it mattered most. Are we geeked???

in my opinion it matters to me a lot the importance of showing up when its desperately the most important. after doing more research its between champs zmjjkk, 2022 champs yay, Shanghai meteor, and lock in Leo.

the amount of first kills KK had was just absurd and I think in an era and year defined by general team strength rather than star player performances it was extra impressive that he was able to excel so much when it mattered the most. Stats are very important I agree, but the context behind his rating and his first contacts is absurd. To keep a high rating and KD while also keeping his first contacts double digits is insanity really.

wilt chamberlain 100 point ah performance actual plumber league

woot had a fall off during the grand finals though, going -18 in the GF. zmjjkk played well in every match even in their loss against G2

Im almost certain that 2024 champs zmjkk is the highest form we've ever seen a player be at. Maybe 2022 champs Aspas or 2024 Shanghai texture come close?

if sen wins this im selling my firstborn to drake's OVO manager
