They did some questionable plays especially zeek, but it is what it is.

I mean he looked uncomfortable on Chamber until like today. It just took him long to become comfortable on Chamber, maybe because he was almost exclusively playing Jett before nerf. He wasn't like yay or Derke who just looked insane on Chamber after 1 game.

I mean maybe BaddyG brought something in mental level where FPX didn't choke when it mattered, but overall this actual roster is better than +baddyg, -ANGE1/Ardiis even tho I like baddyg.

FPX were pretty much perfect for Masters 1 meta tho. Meta has changed. FPX would have done really well with really aggressive playstyle that they had in stage 1.

nvm but I really do hope that Guild truly tries to win just like Fnatic in seeding games, because that will show what Guild are actually made of

LoL Worlds production playing "Fly, Phoenix, fly!" after FPX got eliminated in Worlds groups was the funniest shit lol

True, I don't personally usually even use phone often but rather just think or plan in my head. Its good because you feel relaxed lol

If you think in your head or scroll phone while taking poop you can easily spend 30 min, its same like with showers. Some people take ~5min showers while some take 20 min showers.

True, but also need to remember that this is their 3rd day in a row playing just going close 3 map series against Fnatic yesterday. Not really good excuse because you still have to be able to perform, but bit unfortunate. While Acend hasn't played Haven for quite long time, so FPX most likely didn't know as well what they were going to do. FPX such prep heavy team. And their comp was just really bad against Acend. Only Omen flash against fragging Chamber unlucky.

Am I only one who thinks it feels bit wrong that FPX kind of got punished for winning their first game and then losing to Fnatic? FPX has now played what 3 days in a row? While Acend got day off and were able to prepare more for FPX. So they pretty much have an advantage even though they lost their first match while FPX has less time to prepare and gets more exhausted even tho they did better. Such heavy prep team as well.

would be pretty perfect rn, but no way Vitality lets him go unless TL pays a lot and Team Vitality won't get franchising spot.

Why would TL ever get rid of him unless he himself wants to leave for CS, but unlikely since they have LCQ coming. He is forced to play all sort of different roles in team that doesn't have proper IGL. That is prop why is trying to make plays all the time. He is doing amazingly considering the situation and has done. Flexes to literally everything while still putting good numbers even if he throws once in a while.

you too, you are halfway through

hard work pays off

VRL should just add member system for -$ for month so they can keep their servers up, 3/4/5 star users don't have to pay anything. Good way to get rid of baiters. Right guys

7ssk7 and purp0 are the most obvious right now if they were to replace D3ffo. 7ssk7 has been on pretty good form this year, but has been pretty inconsistent in the past as well, so he is bit risky and may not be upgrade. And purp0 is pretty unproven young prodigy who has put some crazy numbers in tier 2 and who could do great things in M3C, but its hard to say.

He has Russian parents, but was born in Finland(IIRC not 100% sure) and has lived most of his life in Finland.

Logitech G Pro Superlight or Endgame Gear XM2w are my recommendations. Superlight suits most people, XM2w shape may not suit everybody but good if claw grip usually.

xset 2-0 100t

Yeah its going to be hard considering that Acend has looked better in last 2 weeks and both M3C and even Liquid have definitely stepped up for playoffs. Going to be hard fight IMO. Still believing in FPX and I think they should be the favorites.

Grats Fnatic! Really hoping FPX makes it through lowers.

? Liquid tried Neon, G2 plays Neon its just that these EMEA teams don't clearly value it over these comps. And FPX's comp in the other hand is something that no other team even plays if I'm not wrong and they came up with it. Many teams have stopped using Neon comps on Fracture after Neon nerfs.

XSET has been cursed for 4th place, so was Guild.

What you mean? Shao has been really good this stage playing initiator role mainly. One of the best Fades in the world and really good Sova. Just one bad game from him he wasn't hitting as he usually does. And off days get hard punished by Fnatic's firepower.

kind of bad map from FPX tbh, but also Fnatic were still just so much better in every aspect

if 100T has same form as against Faze then XSET def has good chance

LETS GO FINALLY GUILD SO HAPPY FOR THEM

trexx trying to get d3ffos spot

FNC looks better, but I believe in FPX. I truly think this game will be close 3 map series even if Fnatic shows similar form as in groups.

I like both teams, but damn do I think its finally time for Guild to get their shot on LAN. Actually I really wish both Guild and XSET made it from EMEA and NA. Both teams have done well in their regions for long time with some good players, but never manages to make it.

M3C is pretty clout tho. Usually their games have some of the highest numbers in EMEA and the chat/reddit/vrl are usually the most active during their games in EMEA. That is what I have noticed.

I mean Guild played pretty well

Yes its free so why not. Movement feels more smooth and fast, guns have spray patterns so spraying is more valuable, getting value out of util is way harder when you don't know lineups(in lower ranks no one knows how to use util) etc. But overall they are pretty similar games just feels different and the util is different between the game but even still share similarities like smokes, flashes, molotovs.

I just don't remember seeing it much lately and seeing way more Jett and Reyna as of late. May be just team decision like game vision, plan etc and maybe its just better for team roles, but I just remember seeing H1ber Raze quite often and it was good during KOI days, but after that one Split game in Masters 1 where you didn't perform as well I don't remember seeing Raze even close as much if any.

nah G2 wont be accepted to NA I'm 99% sure unless Riot wants NA to be the biggest region by far in the future

headband should become part of Jamppi's brand. He had one in Masters 1 and should continue the thing. Have new headband every tournament.

You gotta fit Zyppan and Meddo there somehow
oh nvm im dumb

Iluri, IGL of Fokus. He fits perfectly to Initiator role if you play Jamppi Chamber/Sentinel.

because all those VRL guys are signed to VRL teams maybe? What is this question. They don't have time trying to do negotiations with teams.

Group performance should matter, but this is why 6 team playoff is fucked. Also there was clear difference between how hard the 2 groups were. Team like Guild played against bad form M3C and TL and are now 1 win away from qualifying. Just need to win over M3C again and we don't know what their form will be tomorrow.

kind of fucked tbh I wish EMEA system was different. Not only do Guild and Fnatic only have to win 1 game to qualify, but they also get advantage by seeing the other team play today. Guild now knows how M3C plays on Bind and Breeze and Fnatic will know how FPX/TL plays. Kinda fucked, but I guess it rewards good groups performance.

Yes VLR has been broken lately

Redgar back to smokes, nAts playing Cypher, d3ffo has played Skye before, Sheydos playing Sova, Chronicle new role but I think it might be good since he liked to play Chamber really aggressively as well and may be confidence thing. Kind of like how zeek didn't feel as confident on Raze so they gave it to starxo. Good moves from both teams IMO. I don't know will it stay to other maps.

Replace H1ber with Iluri unless you want to run Derke Chamber + H1ber Raze exclusively. Let Derke be Raze and Jamppi Chamber and then have proper initiator/maybe 2nd IGL in Iluri. H1ber isn't as flexible anymore for some reason. Doesn't play much Raze after bad performance in Iceland and relies more on Jett and Reyna.

They def look better than last 2 weeks. But I also think its bit due to comfort roles. They don't look as lost and they seem to know what they are doing.

Idk the tweet said that they tried to move G2 LoL to NA. And I remember there being some rumors last year.

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/93a1bed2

L, but not surprising since NA at least for time being generates more money and if I'm not wrong Carlos himself lives in New York and wanted to expand G2 more to NA markets as well. Still interesting considering that they apparently tried to do same with their LoL team as well even tho LEC is arguably more popular than LCS and G2 is most popular team in EU and one of the most popular in the world. I guess they just want to dominate LCS lol

Acend 2-0 M3C unless M3C makes comeback but doubt it

i mean it isnt good either
