exciting to see Zest back for sure but they shouldve given the previous roster a chance at split 1. i guess championship points are extremely important this year but the stability of peoples jobs right now is stupidly bad rn 😞

since its highly like that Zest will be joining the roster, who could be the 2nd person to join the team?

IAM without Zest igl might be tough, NS should win

Hello

never thought we'd see this rematch
KC 2-1 FPX

8 kills across two maps is just bullying 😭

the prophecy is true

that round where sacy got 3 was becasue demon's flash missed badly, they shouldve done double dive or just demon1 astra bro 😭😭😭

he's avoiding the threads i just saw him reply to something earlier 😢😢

bro throwing rounds like ardiis 😭😭😭 wanted NRG to win but SEN wp

kendrick lamar / DAMN, mr morale or TPAB

lets go EDG!!!

pretty sure SEN will start with either an icebox or lotus ban

thanks for letting us know, i was gonna stay up to watch this lol

Zest domination once again IAM 2-0

i see that he frags well (esp what i saw in 2022), but what sort of bad calls is he making in general?

ive seen so many ppl shit on his igling. i never watched much LEV so what makes him a bad IGL?

id say crashies=sacy on every initiator BUT fade, his fade stats are not great but that was a year ago so maybe he'd do good on her now

sucks that TEC won't make it to madrid, RB looked great but hopefully we can see him shine in Shanghai or Seoul later in the year

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/d2efcb2d did something silly

MIBR does some silly stuff, MIBR 2-1

NOOOO

Yuicaw farms with +15 diff, WOL 2-0 BLG

RB HOPIUM, closer game but TEC 2-1

its not even the comp imo they just throw the worst rounds to throw

team chemistry just doesnt look good at all imo. they either give this roster a 2nd chance or they make roster changes (hopefully the latter)

my pickems are fucked but lets go MIBR!!!

I really love the OPTC core but they do not look as strong as i thought. i get ethan is new to igling but to be honest the only trophy i can see NRG winning is champs as NRG require time to mold their teamwork/chemistry.

I think what people mean by APAC being bad i the power rankings in APAC compared to other regions. PRX and DRX were at their own tier last year while other teams in americas/emea kept it competitive within their regions (lots of upsets, etc). this year seems like the first year where apac could be stronger together as a region but thats only 4 us to guess right now

Redgar ints again but still GIA 2-1

lmemore hit some clips but sadly he did throw so many rounds all series. he’s gotta rethink the way he plays sentinel or RRQ might have to find a new sentinel sadly

he’s a good mechanical player but his aggression is a problem, there were many rounds that he almost threw/did throw by pushing too far on ecos or advantageous situations

Yes thats what i was thinking. I think ewoks last timeout also let solo solidify RRQ’s attack pattern into GENG and its kind of shown in 2nd last round. rrq need someone else to igl or need more set plays because they look so disoriented

those last attack seemed so one dimensional from rrq, so little effort to even fight mid. very disappointing series

this game pissed me off because there was so many opportunities for RRQ to close it but they just keep 5 man hitting and taking no map control 😞😞

I didnt watch giants or fit1nho much in general, only watched during his intl performances. but that sounds like a good way to sum his career so far

Boo 👻 drops 50 again but sh1n gets his revenge from last year aka that split game
KC 2-1 TH

didnt watch map 2 or 3 but bottom frag does suck, he’s shown that he can have insane impact but also have the worst performances (like dropping 34 in GIA v EDG match 1 of split versus his final performance in GIA v EDG fracture). he has great potential but im hoping he become a more consistent duelist so we dont see him bot frag like he did today

why are we cheering for DFM this time? i haven't seen this many people not root for their country's team before

tenz skye + sacy yoru would go crazy

im cheering for TS but DFM have a good chance at winning this match

100t fix = bring back willfps ❤️

LETS GOOOO MIBR

it could be a mental problem maybe? he has not won anything after lock/in

i get everything wrong bro 😭😭😭

GENG fought damn well against PRX hope to see a rematch in the future 🙏

FUR 2-1, mibr can make it close

looking like mwzera won't make it out of groups though...

was hoping that KRU would win but G2 played well, GGs to them 👍

both teams played well but G2 played better. FNS said on his stream but it comes down to KRU throwing the worst rounds due to overconfidence, if they didn't throw some of these rounds there could have been an entirely diff outcome
