likely especially because he is likely under contract so GX might not be able to compete for buyout, but sometimes players believe in projects rather than blindly follow money even if its for supposed superteam or good team on paper. Like I don't know what happened, but Heretics got w0ot and Riens even tho many teams were fighting for them according to rumors.

Cloud, westside, purp0, Profek, kajaak(or some Turkish)

I've always used Unibet

Good that M8 are going international.

much better to have team that can keep 2 of their players and lose their 3 best player and have 3rd full Turkish team who would likely end up like BBL 2.0 even with all the Turkish talent

why are apeks leaving

French are usually toxic or give up after 1 lost round. Also usually pretty bad, so much complaining but play like trash. Not always tho

Reason why I don't really want to see them win it. IGL, Phoenix OTP, arguably weakest individual on the team is a recipe for a disaster

should replace eMIL

Boo is my IGL

you realize that was a joke right?

He is good, but too young for VCT

Soulcas' peak are high and he even had some standout games while playing on Team Liquid. His mechanical skill is actually good, but he rarely plays to his true potential. I don't know is it confidence issue or what.

damn I wanted this team to make it, but I guess its gg

Suygetsu is really good and insane peaks, but tbf he hasn't been performing that well this year. And I don't know how he is in and out of game, but I would assume (JUST SPECULATION) that he doesn't bring as much as someone like benjyfishy outside of just pure skill in-game. So if he doesn't perform in-game and you want to rebuild then I guess its understandable to potentially replace him.

I don't think they will unless BBL wants to try their IGL. I could see Comeback, Lar0k or Loita making it, but they can't because they are underage. I don't really think any team is going for Rose or Celasun, especially if they are not really comfortable with English.

This is why I hope GoNext win. PCFIC without Comeback, Loita and Lar0k ain't it.

Famsii or Polvi over Bonecold, just need to learn new role
but lowkey if these players are in form this could be good team and place high in Europe

Spanish VRL really fumbled. Was sure KPI would be here and look strong, and now Barca got eliminated as first team(thery had close games at least).

I don't have any, but at times I've really wanted to get some and then again not wanting and preferring clear skin. I've often thought about something StarWars related because that's been my thing since being a kid. Latest idea in my head was something related to birds and vines/branches/roots or maybe mixing vines and chains kind of like nature and industrial clashing with like colorful bird or something. Sometimes its just fun to think tattoo ideas.

Keiko - duelist
nAts - sentinel
Profek - controller
RobbieBK - Initiator/IGL
kamyk - flex

thanks for reading

How? Nothing against Polvi and Russ and I hope best for them, but both of them were playing in tier 2 and looked pretty average. Polvi had good moments, but was overshadowed by multiple EMEA tier 2 duelists. Hope Polvi finds good tier 2 team this time around though, because hes been bit unlucky.

More Finnish than Demon1 is American

how is he top 5 coach in the world?

True. Must be some seasoning, but its overrated. Put bit of salt, pepper, paprika and maybe some chili/chicken mix(if chicken) just randomly throwing bit of each and its good enough.

Asc 3 I think, but I suck
getting carried though

Derke is repping Finnish flag and Shao/Suygetsu no flag

Miniboo is hard entry duelist. Guy like Aspas has his team to play around him. Miniboo plays for rest of the team.

Heretics aren't a fluke in any way. And Acend weren't either. Acend were top 3 EMEA team and at times the best EMEA team for most of 2021. They fell off quick after Champions so fair enough in that sense, but 2021 was overall a good year for them even outside of Champions. Won Masters 1 EMEA and looked arguably better than Gambit before the EMEA seeding games for Masters 3.

Acend were top 3 EMEA team most of the year. Masters 2 regionals they got eliminated in single elimination bracket (SEN lost a game in Americas as well btw) and after that managed to qualify for Masters 3 while looking like arguably the best EMEA team regionally before seeding games.

Calling either one fluke is just dumb af

I mean I get why some people like it, but its become such norm in esport (especially Riot) that its tiring. Feels like every Valorant or League themed song is some generic k-pop. Legit 0 hype or recognition.

k-pop is total garbage but guess it suits for event in Korea

Months ago. Its overrated. Few times a year is fine.

hmm

did you afk ascent as raze?

Americas and Pacific really thought

G2 literally just signed The Guard roster who at time were top 2 NA team and added leaf who was among the best NA players and Ice who came from somewhere.

Team Heretics is type of team you're describing.

RobbieBK or UNFAKE as IGL, keep sh1n

K-pop is dogshit

Good to see because I think hes been really underrated since forever way before this Heretics roster.

Boo was always underrated since LDN UTD/OGLU days. Impossible to say how much impact he had on that team, but they always played well as a team and had cool setplays that were needed for the lack of firepower. He even fragged decently at times. Definitely not consistently, but you could see that the aim was there.

Depends 1 or 2. Normally at home first hair then body, then second towel for private areas. If I only have 1 then same order, but just with 1 towel. At some point I tried having towel for hair, but IMO its pointless unless you have long hair.

I kinda think the same. Maybe the overall level of play is higher, but Liquid has been so shaky and inconsistent/consistently mid since eMIL became the coach. At least during ScreaM days they had some good performances and qualified for events. Both last and this roster just look so similar in terms of the negatives.

LETS GO

Giants should just go for Redgar, Cloud, B1SK, purp0, Chiwawa/vo0kashu

classic

Funny, but KCorp is literally made out of 4 players who played in tier 2 last season. Heretics is made ouf of 3 (/4) players who were in tier 2 last season. Just shows how much EMEA tier 2 talent there is. N4RRATE is good of course, but don't forget that this game and these 2 teams are full of new talent and not just N4RRATE.

This is why I like CS lineups. Way more limited in terms of possibilities, but you can't just stand distance away denying defuses with easy lineups. You can do great things with mollies and nades, but really need to understand the limits and they aren't as op and often used for actual site takes.

Overall I would be massive underdog vs any pro (tier 1 in this case) because no matter how "weak" some look on pro level they are still better than most and would have no problem playing in Radiant. But at the same time Valorant mechanics are bit ehh so it balances it out a bit. I think Valorant pro playing against random guy would lose more 1v1 rounds than CS2 pro for example.

But no way some people talking ANGE1 down so much. He genuinely has good mechanics and aim even in pro level. Yes he is bit inconsistent and does stupid plays but he can win duel vs anyone and has had some huge performances. His aim is more impressive than that of guys like FNS or Boaster.

Yeah because Fnatic were mentally boomed and played like shit, while G2 was peaking with especially Meddo and Avova stepping up who normally were the weak links. I legit have comment before Reykjavik saying how I think G2 will perform worse and they did.

And I never said FPX would have won Reykjavik, but considering that both them and Fnatic, the 2 best EMEA teams were missing makes Reykjavik look way less competitive on paper than it would have been otherwise. That's like if NA in Reykjavik was only represented by The Guard, and LOUD had replaced Aspas and Sacy with mid tier 2 duelist and initiator.

And Reykjavik wasn't even as heavy on Chamber as later events and agents like Jett and Raze were still very relevant. Also OpTic running Neon comps might not mean that much, who knows. They were playing it on Fracture like DRX and played same Split comp as M3C with some changes obviously. But who knows. Full FPX beat DRX's Neon Fracture in Copenhagen.
