Nukkye is insane. Has just been underperforming. Maybe pressure + IGLing on LAN for first time.

Meddo was pretty bad until playoffs when he activated and added a lot of firepower, but seems like he is going back to old form. Also first LAN for him.

Cursed tournament since the beginning

They won against G2 that actually looked good not this LAN G2

only player from G2 that is performing like they did online is hoody and Mixwell on Chamber

Yeah both of them had some overheat moments. Same with Buzz who had at least couple 1v1 situations where he just peaked too wide and made it 1v2. Also not realizing that enemies can see through Astra B main one way. Kind of unfortunate small things that ended up costing them the series IMO.

You mean EMEA top 2?

DRX made so many mistakes and OpTic took advantage of them. They overheated when it came to 2nd half of Split.

DRX didn't deserve to win. Buzz keeps dying with bad positioning. Rb can't hit shot. Constantly dry peeking yay with no reason.

DRX throwing so much so yes

M3C vs Fnatic better

gg Rb is terrible

Buzz has lost so many rounds due to his positioning its crazy.

Who called DRX "the best team in the world"? lol

Nope

DRX players were so clueless during last rounds.

EMEA and NA still best regions based on competitive depth. Both regions have at least 4 teams who could be real contenders.

Is he though? He has always been pretty critical towards most teams. And feels like before every tournament he always preds NA to do better than EMEA.

GIGACHAD

NA 🤗 🤗 EMEA Sadge

Just following NA's example

Such a strange move if true. Like I feel like Magnum has been bit underwhelming at times, but still. He is good sentinel player and its going to be really hard to find replacement.

Both EMEA and NA suck. We should just move to Overwatch 2. Hop in!
oh nvm that game is dominated by Korea....

Mixwell is good Chamber tho. One of the best. And this is coming from Mixwell doubter.

True they have to be proud of their achievements even if they lose. Then the question is just that can they continue to perform. Most likely yes.

Yeah, but my point is that they aren't full CIS team when it comes to players even if they are considered "CIS".

Nah. Both Fnatic and M3C showed insane levels, but M3C got eliminated because they were exhausted and Fnatic lost their starplayer and Sova main who is also important piece. Liquid looked like shit, but improved for Masters 1 even though they got eliminated. Had to change comps on pretty much every map. G2 is still questionable for me, because they might just be on honeymoon period and especially Meddo peaked when it mattered in EMEA, but I don't know can he keep that level up. FPX is also big ? because they just rolled everyone with different lineups.

I think bad performance was kind of expected from EMEA. Considering that TL could have easily gotten grouped, but managed to pull it off and Fnatic was doomed since the beginning. G2 could do well or could do bad. Hard to say.

They are half CIS half EU and play for EMEA anyway even if they decided to mark themselves as "CIS" to have easier shot at Challengers spots. FPX would have never been there without Zyppan and Doombros either just like without Shao and Ange1.

EC1S not good enough and Guild would never let Leo go. Guild roster could easily be top contender next Challengers.

Did I say that? Its just a fact that Ange1 wasn't in the server when FPX qualified. Unless he was spectating. I understand your point, but it has nothing to do with this.

L1nk had shit game, but at least he's excuse is that he had to IGL as guys who is new to that role. And he has shown great level of play before. And is one of the best controllers in EU.

No shit. I was talking about individual players.

3 CIS players, 3 EU players and 1 EU coach* and the roster that even made it to top 3 was 2 CIS 3 EU when Ange1 was gone.

FPX is literally made out of Swedish, Polish(sub), Ukrainian, Russians, and Latvian. And have Swedish coach who is super important to them. I think Shao is their best player and he is Russian, but Zyppan, Ardiis and baddyG were super important as well.

They need to get proper IGL. Its clear that L1NK having to IGL weakened his performance to a point where he had almost 0 impact on Split. Most obvious would be to cut Soulcas and just force Scream to grind Raze and Skye. And then find proper IGL who can play whatever they need.

L take but nice try. Gambit only top CIS EMEA team.

Good results considering that they weren't even supposed to be there, but still embarrassing match from them.

this tournaments was doomed for EMEA since the beginning

L1NK has to IGL now so that effects his gameplay, but true that he has been pretty bad this tournament.

What doing?? They had full B control but decided to run to A?

Headhunter is too op IMO, but with nerf it would become useless.

maybe but both of them are really good skyes

He is one of the best skyes in the world

I mean TL was literally just getting outaimed and had no idea what was going on. How many times TL player would just turn their backs against the enemies. Like I understand your point, but TL individuals played like shit.

L1NK is good, but he lost so many crucial duels this game.

Zeta: 1.78
Liquid: 1.88
on Unibet

Zeta clearing tower: Astra suck to breach util combo
Liquid clearing tower: Rope up -> die to shorty

This map was terrible from every Liquid member outside of Nivera. Terrible terrible map.

I just don't understand that what they did before this game? Feels like every player just woke up and went straight into this game. Bad aim, bad decision making, clueless, no plan.

camping nest with shorty every rounds, but Liquid doesn't do anything to do get him out just running in without util kekw
