the manga is peak, elements of the major arcana and infinite layers of meaning are hidden behind every dialogue bubble

but i can't answer your question because i never watched the anime

LOUD, DFM, Zeta way too low. how is "GiantX" better than any of these?

kuronami has more flicky aimers than prelude

i wonder if comparing map wins makes the ranking look different

chill they hit top 6 in the world while not looking at their fullest potential. this liquid squad can take names with time to look their best

bro verno is the leo of NA

theyll even afford to sign me after they win champs

buzz over jawg and hyunmin

buzz was playing like buns

what about T1 looked good bro

meteor is playing deathmatch and carpe doesnt have hands

why would we start hating on the winners of masters bangkok

s0m is still a top 2 controller in americas depending on bang stocks

scan me next

sounds like sigma activities to me

need him

what mean 'real agents'?

verno is the leo of americas

can he drag his nuts on me next

winner plays a bo5 vs sen as a qualification match

saadhak only did that so LOUD could run double duelist and play aspas jett

trophy > multiple top 2s

everyone who is sane would pick winning madrid over getting 2nd everywhere they can

who doesnt <3_<3

enzo

8/8 i raged when i saw it

idk wouldve rather made it to grand finals champs and grand finals shanghai than just win their region twice

maybe im underrating regional perfs but regionals have significantly weaker teams than internationals so

sadge th :(
im biased but th were 100% the best emea team this year
especially considering they had rookies vs experienced fnatic frogs, they went crazy

def an argument for lev over th though i see it

5th with an international title? i'd rather have sen's year than lev's year for sure, there's a reason i had the 3 trophy winners in top 3

regarding prx, they seemed to very interestingly a team that got WORSE throughout the season so i see your point
(2nd kickoff -> 3rd madrid -> 1st stage 1 -> 6th shanghai -> 3rd stage 2 -> 12th seoul)

1 - GenG
they were easily the most consistent team in a year where so many different teams made top 4 - top 6 at each international, they also won their own region twice and made every grand final other than champs

2 - Edward Gaming
I would rather have the champs trophy after a really shitty year internationally than a masters title and a 4th place finish. There would be a huge argument for Sentinels here if they didn't have such a midseason slump. Even though EDG won their region 3 times, it doesn't have as much weight as an americas / emea / apac doing the same because the other chinese teams are undeniably weaker in comparison

3 - Sentinels
Kickoff winners, madrid winners, 4th place champs with a huge upset against GenG, best americas team this year. definitely have to talent to pick up another title next year.

4 - Team Heretics
2nd place kickoff, 8th at madrid, 2nd at stage 1, 2nd in Shanghai, 3rd at stage 2, and 2nd in seoul. they came close to the trophy so many times and didn't win a single one, but damn if they are not a team to look out for next season.

--- MASSIVE GAP ---
5 - Paper Rex? Leviatan? Fnatic?

Paper Rex uniquely made it to all 3 international events, a feat that only them, EDG, FPX, TH, and GENG have. although they've had ups and downs, they also won their region and came away with a 4th and a 6th internationally.

Leviatan has the highest champs placement out of those not listed yet, with a 3rd place. They looked insane, only getting better throughout the year, and they won their region stage 2 against a highly rated G2, also coming away with a stage 1 runner up.

Fnatic won their region twice, though they had poor international showings for a team that won two trophies last year. They're a lock for 2nd best EMEA team, but how much does that really do for them?

what do we think for top 5? anyone i forgot?

wow what a great opinion, we should kiss

FUT never rematch either

lakia played like that for ~3 series total this year

if you replace lakia with boaster on geng then they lose to DRG at shanghai

love to see this guy succeed ever since shanghai on tariks stream, super W of him to support heretics even when hes not playing

go miniboo!!!!!!!!

thats even worse lmfao ??

i wanted to explain what would happen regarding TH if GenG won. it goes without saying that GenG qualifies even if they lose to TH

thank hiko for these takes he whispered in my ear while i was trying to sleep

they really aren't good enough to get top 4 at this event but they're lucky KRU and BLG are fodder. maybe FNC 2-1 KRU in decider. if BLG upset KRU then BLG will get 2-0'd by FNC anyway

can we kiss?

except for my 100% fact guarantees

FUT tied PRX in placement at shanghai and went 1st in regular season W-L don't count out my goats

i have PRX winning but it's not an upset if FUT win

hiko spoke to me in my sleep thats how i knew all of it

i cooked with pickems i had trace 2-0 in their group and DRX 2-0 in their group i could smell it in the air, almost perfect pickems but i made the mistake of FUT and PRX winning their opening games . fraud ass teams, they will somehow both find a way to lose the elim game and tie for 17th place on august 9

certified notnorte guarantee ✅

i just really want to see it, kyro is probably actually cute as hell you can tell by the way someone types

leave your fantasy land bro. change flair sen aren't winning anything

not guaranteed

DRX wins over FNC guaranteed. may or may not be close but in no worlds will DRX lose

TH and GenG will be close. if GenG win then TH will lose to FPX in the decider. if TH face SEN in decider, then TH mops SEN

Trace qualify vs Lev, anyone's game for the other spot

G2 fuck EDG and EDG EDGES me by going to a map 3 all OT with FUT in decider. FUT qualify

its hard to get good results when youre igling while top fragging. depending on boasters performance at champs nats could be considered the best EMEA fragging IGL

nats needs to be freed from liquid jail

fnc lock in > eg champs. fnc only dropped maps to loud
but EG lost to PRX and went to map 5 vs LOUD. they also lost a map to EDG

FLAIR <3

thank god
