1. Loud
2. Fnatic
3. idk

that aint how it works when its a qualifier

you dont have to care about them. they are just examples of facts that you are denying.

agree to disagree i guess

i know he literally just repeated himself lol. its the 1st sign of mental gymnastics if ppl are going in circles

so IEM Dallas, and MSI are useless internationals for you? same should be for masters.

masters is a qualifier there is no changing that

at the end of the day masters is a qualifier for champions

if a team in csgo wins IEM Dallas they are not world champion even though they faced international competition, same for any esport. a team in league of legends wins MSI, they are not world champion.

no.. theres a reason 1 is called "masters" and 1 is "champions"

chill out with all the hate threads

Loud beat XSET probably

double OT, multiple clutches and crazy plays. and the crowd was better than the previous series. just say youre biased

but yeah the 2nd and 3rd maps were kinda bad

nah hes just speaking facts and ppl agree

well said also this guy needs to stop generalising as its a loud minority of annoying baiters that get a lot of attention and not everybody

if this isn't boasters and minis wake up call to stop relying on honeymoon and instead look at some of their internal issues leading them to forget all their basic fundamentals in elimination matches then they should be fucking dropped and boaster turn to analyst

thats not real mocking btw. its fake

shot_up is a fucking steal and deserves to be on a top 5 NA team

best player on this list

nope. 1.12 rating this LAN, 1.34 rating online

this shouldnt be as controversial of a take as it is. very many of fnatic's fundamental issues (that they seem to just ignore and instead add firepower) come from boaster's leadership.

the crowd been loud and a cheering too

was so hype. yes its a regional match but it went to OT, so many clutches and crazy plays

anyone saying its sleeper is biased

thats fair considering CIS players who moved to Serbia / other eu countries are still considered CIS

idk what is the best decision but at least that would make it more consistent

so we agree with split

which team is favored in map veto? i think fpx favored on split

fnatic favored on fracture and bind is 50/50

"we won the last championship" so cringe. you won masters, not champions. just say masters

yes

they said theyre sticking with the roster, no changes. i agree theyre trolling by doing that

thats last year. this year so far theres literally 0 3rd party tournaments for tier 1 / high tier 2 teams to participate in

yes. like C9 had to buy out Gambit's CS roster even tho they no longer represented them

MiniBoo is a good choice. Nats is a no brainer

Burzzy is not a bad choice but there are many questions surrounding him as he isn't as well known. Can he speak english well? Maybe he can learn it but I'm not sure if it'd be worth it for G2 if he isn't as cracked as someone like Alfajer. In-game performance wise though he seems to be quite good, not anything amazing but seems like he could maybe do better than Avova.

Overall i think g2 should only change 2 players initially so they keep the core of 3 to have good synergy and chemistry. So it's just about deciding which 1 to keep between mixwell, avova and meddo. Nukkye also said he wants to stop IGLing.

wasnt he the NRG analyst? or im thinking of someone else

purp0, vo0kashu

other options: simond4rk,winteryrook, chiwawa, sibeastw0w, B1SK

-russ +russz

1st one

i dont think it would make automatically make them top 1 but i do think it could bring them to take matches off fpx and fnatic with some consistency (not games where the other team is having an off-day is what im talking about)

they need to work on their strats and fundamentals too

if im gonna be honest cNed is the only player from the roster thats very likely to get into franchising

Americas*

money

team liquid

so damwon getting the 2nd

3rd probably T1 or Gen G

kinda disappointing

maybe m3c getting signed by heroic

C9
TSM
Optic
100T
Loud
KRU

are all guaranteed 110%

this is what they should do: group of 7 round robin, top 4 go to single elim playoffs

its a new roster moron. and 1 single match doesnt mean everything

fnatic, fpx, guild >>> g2, liquid, fnatic with 2 subs. i dont think prx beating fnatic changes that?

no hate on optic though, theyre a great team and obviously top 5

rogue doesnt deserve to get in

w post even tho people turned it into copypasta

i agree with everythng

So i was playing a normal ranked game right. I was playing chamber, absolutely carrying my team, I was 29/16/3. closest teamate was 22/18/6. On Bind, we had a Raze who was being toxic and braindead, (Immortal elo, used to it). Homie thinks the only way to hold A site is maintain shower control and give up site, u haul, tank. For example, playing b site I had my tps set up for rotate in spawn. They commed planting A so I tp, I die to a kid pushed in spawn and the Raze in shower got killed right after, lost the round. I start getting angry (typing in chat cause it was like 6am didnt want to wake the fam up). I typed "retard" once, didnt even call the raze a retard, I was lurking and got a double and got my team a free site and this Raze starts talking shit ab how my kills have no impact, while he on the other hand just ran it down hooka and died to a judge in hooka. I said in chat "at least im not retard running it down in hooka and dying" and now I have been stuck with a 2 week vc ban which means no comp q. On the other hand I did get this Raze banned for presumably longer. Im still banned though. It makes sense yet is infuriating. I'm sweating my ass off trying hard asf to win the game and we have a toxic Raze on our team (calling people out for being bad, trying to igl when he was just doing stupid plays, also finished the game 10/19/9 btw). Im just angry Im stuck here with a 2 week comp ban for being toxic to a toxic teamate who was flaming our whole team because his plan of "braindead monkey hold showers to take A site" wasnt working. I feel like I should get unbanned or a reduced ban for this based on my situation, too bad val wont let u submit a ban req and all u get when u do is a bot message.

1. they failed to adapt to chamber meta, and cned had hard time on it
2. zeek mental issues
3. they got rid of bonecold for "difference in vision". leaving them with no real IGL. they picked up vakk in hopes he can IGL but he couldnt really, or at least needs way months of practice and experience for it.
4. other teams got way better like fnatic, fpx and guild

--- current timeline

5. they drop zeek for again "difference in vision"
6. after getting rid of bonecold, zeek, kiles, they didn't really have a solid core anymore. a core is made up of 3 players 99% of the time so the team has good synergy and the players know each other.

i also think a lot of this comes from bad team management personally but idrk what is happening inside the team

1) 100T
2-3) C9 & Guard
4) Faze
5-7) EG, Shopify, NRG
8) Sentinels
