enjoy your "we beat th once" trophy, they still outplaced you at all the events and ended ur year lol

we also raw dogged you split 1 playoffs, 13-3d you on multiple maps this year so who really cares

what did lev achieve that 100T didnt... 1 stage win and 1 good international performance each, it wasnt that much better for u guys lmao

cryo is arguably the best oper in NA, arguably the best jett NA, and is just a much better player than asuna unfortunately

nuh uh, my old goat nismo CLEARS

navi didnt make an international and are dropping their players, when will they play against NA teams lol

you could say the same about darkzero tho, mitch has also been igling for two years btw

v1c and okeanos = no t1 experience
stellar = t1 experience but had a resurgence in t2 last year
yay = relevancy and hate watchers

marved was actively bad this year

what does mitch do that stellar doesnt? both have similar agent pools, both teams had similar success

m80 get promoted tho so he wont be available

you clearly do lmao

yeah man lets keep recycling the same talent based on name that worked so well for nrg last year

im not asking anyone to play roles they havent played before tho + jawg is no where near the jett player cryo is

bro im not rocket bullets lmao its just what id like to see

yay wouldnt need a buy out broski, ik hes a restricted f/a but be real hes probably just restricted because he doesnt want to terminate his expensive contract. if he wants to leave bleed probs would love to get his salary off the books

who plays raze for nrg then? who switches away from initiator between verno and ethan? ethan looked lost on other roles this year tbh

hell yeah man okeanos is a beast, and i will always love stellar as a 100T fan. supa is too inconsistent imo, although i was considering moving apoth back to smokes.

i think icy is good but not as a duelist, think he would be an awesome flex player for a diff team

for LEV, sacy would be interesting but in general i think a rookie would be better for them, to raise their ceiling (ie karon, s1mon or johnqt)
i also think kingg is a very good shooter but they need a new player to be their igl (dont replace kingg just give someone else the role)

if it makes you feel better i was picking between apoth going back to smokes and v1c

i think supamen can be good but is very hot or cold

i think in general when a team goes the whole year without even making playoffs there needs to be big changes

new players in CAPS

1 change from 2024: SEN, 100T, G2
multiple changes from 2024: NRG, C9, EG

SEN:
roster - TenZ, zekken, JohnQT, Zellsis, VERNO
reason for new player: Verno - high upside, 1 for 1 agent pool with sacy and has flexed to sentinel before, Zellsis and John can cover calling
bonus info: N/A

G2:
roster - Valyn, Trent, JonahP, leaf, MADA
reason for new player: firepower upgrade on icy but still can flex to other roles, also an OPing improvement imo
bonus info: N/A

100T:
roster - Cryo, bang, Boostio, eeiu, JAWGEMO
reason for new player: entry player upgrade who has shown the ability to flex to accomodate a jett player (Demon1, EG 2023), also has worked with Zikz and Boostio previously so could be swayed by that
Bonus info: Cryo and Jawgemo both learn Cypher and KJ given their past experience with various sentinels, Boostio moves to secondary initiator + smokes, Cryo learns viper (better lurker than bang) and bang swaps to full time astra/omen/brim

C9:
roster - Oxy, FLYUH, CRASHIES, ADD3R, SKUBA
reason for new players:
-Flyuh has shown promise as an igl and can flex between initiator, sentinel and viper

• crashies can play all initiators and can help rookie igl flyuh with calling
• Add3r is a promising young sentinel who has "found his voice" (according to wedid i think)
• Skuba is NAs most promising smokes player in T2
  Bonus info: N/A

NRG:
roster - fenis, s0m, ethan, DEMON1, N4RRATE
reason for new players:
-Demon1 is that guy
-N4RRATE can play recon init to accomodate ethan being a flash initiator 1 trick and can play raze to accomodate demon1s bad raze
Bonus info: s0m would need to learn some initiators to cover double initiator + raze maps, for example sunset or fracture (if it comes back) as demon1 can only flex to smokes

EG:
roster - Derrek, STELLAR, OKEANOS, YAY, V1C
reason for new players:

• Stellar is a good igl who has had a resurgence as a flex, and has played on either an actual team or pug team with everyone else except yay
• v1c can play both sentinel and smokes
• okeanos was the most promising t2 duelist in NA (more than reduxx) and has been a flex before in the past
  -yay has shown he can be him and has fresh motivation. EG would also want yay for viewership cause who tf watches EG otherwise
  Bonus info: yay could also be the jett and Okeanos could learn sentinel, or yay could go full meteor and play sentinel only while okeanos is full duelist. whatever works man

thanks for reading
fuck ur "allats"
feel free to ask questions

watching victor play for my favourite team in the big 2025 would make me wanna die tbh

who?

schizo

zeta and drx ones are cool man keep up the good work

no 100T so its 5/10

100T technically more trophies than TH this year lol

warra trophy for boo this year

just let optic go bruh they arent coming back

Asuna is in the custom games on his team u donut

james ff is a fraud lmao

legitimate conversations =/= 6 paragraph essays

why do u idiots type so much on this site we dont care bro

its a pug team to scrim against M80, they arent dropping cryo and eeiu for Willfps and kanpeki lmao

EG probs his only opportunity NA, yes they are poor but he will probs take a pay cut to play

there are a lot of people who dont have brains

but they didnt put effort into qualifying to events lmao, they are lucky to be there just like EG was last year. Props to them for doing well but lets not rewrite history they have been shit for 75% of the season, they have just peaked when it matters

SEN didnt win a playoff game in split 1 or 2 this year, what effort did they put into qualifying?

hey man please dont poke holes in my master plan, thanks

100T qualifies to bangkok because of bang
100T qualifies to toronto cause of cryo (canada is cold like cryocells)
100T qualifies to paris cause of eeiu (needs to go to eu)

Boostio and 100 goats obviously

"Some changes to the 2025 format:

• Kickoff will now be a 12 team double elim bracket starting in January (top 2 qual to Masters Bangkok)
• Stage 2 will no longer carry over records from Stage 1, so only the top Stage 2 teams will be in playoffs to qualify for Champions Paris"

Liverpool is better than manchester london and brum lmao, hosted eurovision for a reason

nah people did single out c0m. in the game against 100T where demon1 replaced bcj, people called for c0m to be dropped cause he got like 4 kills

Tarik used to be such a good watch partier before he joined sen, now he is just complacent while watching other teams and doesnt watch the games

stay safe buddy

"contender roster" with no igl and a player who cant play cause hes underage lol

boostio and oxy would be funny together

nah man toe knee got us i promise

also its easy to bring up the bad comps (like the KAYO haven) but also 100T made the best bind comp which half of vct has copied at this point, they cook after an offseason and having 4 or 5 players stay for the whole offseason trust

1. 3 of our players had an awful 2023, 1 of them says zikz is his favourite coach and our most important player wouldnt have come to 100T without him being there
2. our great season led us to being top 4 at an international, stage 1 winners and 2 rounds away from champs even tho we had our IGL join 3 weeks before the season started. Also who tf do you think 100T is lmao, didnt make champs? they arent exactly qualifying every year, its ok to admit we arent FNC/PRX who qualify to every lan and contend when they are there
3. potter is a very good coach but has had 1 good year as a coach, and sliggy is the goat costreamer but has accomplished nothing as coach and wouldnt give up streaming to move continents to coach 100T

extending the coach that made us have our best season in years and possibly ever isnt a W? drug test?
