double fluke + dead team
ethan arnold doesn't lose to whzy

have faith in fns, he's the only one from the optic glory days that isn't on fraudwatch

NRG would sweep the entire CN league without dropping a map, enemy team would never have more than 8 points

yeah I was talking about china, 1 international match win (EDG vs PRX)

Danny is the only one I've seen

bro is swvyboi1's indian counterpart, but no more double agents will be tolerated

you're entire region is shit, 1 international win in 2024 btw

less is more

pull it up

post-champs

Honestly with chet pursuing CS, NRG might look to sign jawgemo + potter and unbench demon1 (assuming victor and crashies are dropped). Now the only thing missing is scan initiator, s0m can do sova, fns can play fade, with ethan on gekko, and because everyone on that team can play smokes, demon1/jawg for jett/raze, and fns has senti, roles are covered, igl is covered, firepower is covered, strats are covered between fns and potter

where was TenZ between Reykjavic and Madrid?
In that time, FNS was a masters winner, runner up, 3rd place, fourth place, and champs runner up
If you have to make roster changes to a team with FNS and TenZ, and you have to replace one of them, it's gonna be TenZ, because he's replaceable (except for clout). You don't find an FNS-caliber IGL anywhere.

bro abandoned navi after they got shit on by fut

sen are 100t's fathers
prx a bit washed
where g2
why is drx here
what about fpx?

NRG showed top tier valorant, if you watched the game you would know that they easily win against everyone else in their group except maybe KRU, which could be difficult

hard counterstrat team, but easily can win all teams in their group except loud.

DRG don't fck it up billy CANNOT qualify for champs

take a break for a few days
after break, maybe don't play too much every day, just 2 games maybe + warmup

they were a top 5 team in first half of 2023 and top 8 in second half (if they could scrim between masters and champs they'd have beat billy i'm coping)

level of play was top tier from them yesterday, showed a good fight against sen given comps and experience/synergy imo
plus, other than GenG and PRX from APAC, and TH and FUT from emea, and CN's FPX, 5 teams from americas have to be there
sen, 100t, nrg, loud, g2 make the most sense

doesn't matter GenG lost to RRQ

tell me why I'm wrong then

The loss against EG was a choke, the fake cumback by NRG was not a choke by SEN at all. If you watched the minimap during defense, NRG was consistently on the site SEN was gonna hit, except somehow couldn't defend site with 3/4 players. FNS had the reads consistently, it was a complete masterclass especially for a guy who has never played sunset on the stage. Victor showed up with the explosive power, and they utilized the TH comp very well on attack. The only thing SEN exclusively did wrong was the TenZ OP on defense, and that was two rounds.

SEN are back in form easily, zekken fragging, tenz fragging, zellsis and sacy also fragging + good util, johnqt calling not as good as fns but still pretty good
They're arguably better than they were at Madrid, would easily beat anyone else on this list

fpx is a top team
strong performance against GenG and TH, #1 and #2 teams in the world
sen is back though so I took a bit of a gamble
clove won't work against johnqt

tokyo loss was a fluke
in 2022 they had benkai

the three positive players here all were on that fcking 2023 roster
fck it, blg has to qualify for champs with nrg, fns needs to shit on them for redemption

13-0

fluke

nrg decent performance today
poorex chokers
prx only beats nrg with cigarettes

not really shat on
unlucky counterstrat lotus comp, 8 rounds is great imo
sunset OT choke
1 month team vs 9 month team

1. geng
2. th
3. sen
4. fpx
5. 100t
6. g2
7. nrg
8. loud
9. prx
10. fut

might be the one emea match that i think will actually deliver

sadly fns not watching

somehow you’re wrong for that brother
fns had immaculate calls his team just didn’t shoot as well

not for players like fns, ange1, boaster in a year or so, etc because age

you were better when you were still in your moms belly

sen easily

top tier gameplay, something I would expect from champs playoffs ngl

Lotus unlucky, SEN comp coincidentally directly countered NRG's attack sided comp, and NRG no raze made it pretty difficult with cypher and deadlock. Somehow NRG got 8 rounds, any other team with that comp in americas gets 13-3d. Sunset, close map and went to OT, great attack side from NRG. Sen are looking like their form in kickoff/madrid people just denying it stupidly. Ethan is shooting back great, and we know s0m is good and can perform much better than he did today, first day back on the stage. Anyone who watched the game knows that FNS calls were immaculate and he clearly made the better calls. Victor also turned up on map 2, people calling him "shitcor" but he genuinely is an insane player. Crashies... still trashies but whatever.
G2 no time to prep against this, gonna get rolled.
Kru split 1 run was strong but FNS has antistrats
C9 is fraudulent without oxy and 1v5 just won't work

if nrg practiced sunset pistols, they also win

this is some dogshit, you really should see the doctor i told you about

whickenwoe waited for the right moment LMFAO

first time playing this map on the stage btw

firepower not showing up
s0m sleeping and victor sleeping map 1

how do you consistently have bad takes go see a doctor for clinical retardation

obviously a casual
just have to shoot back and win 1v1 and win

g2 will get fked easily
valyn is good but fns is a god

they look fcking insane
if they had 2 months its gg

fns is still the goat, masterclass calls like every fcking round. cove day was yesterday so s0m has some remaining ptsd, but ethan is the best flash in the world and victor and crashies doing pretty good they can place top 6 at champs if they qual
