I doubted this team because they were the XIA core that were pretty mid in LANs last year, not to mention the fact that they lost sScary, one of their more consistent players at those LANs
But they were mad good this tournament, so I was glad to be proven wrong. They’ll be a force in the Pacific league.
did you just see that stat?
22-3 last year and 7-2 with this comp.
their only losses were to Gen.G and BBL.
They begin the year with a 5th-8th finish.
The curse begins anew.
SG with a mental break for map 3.
But heading into map 4, that mental might get worse because of the way they lost map 3.
Something nearly broke Asuna's record
Absurd player.
Banger
FL 3-1 (giving NTH benefit of the doubt)
SG 3-0
If they drop a map, I’d be concerned.
Big ups to EG for going toe-to-toe against a top 5 Pacific team.
Potter’s got a serious team cooking and congrats to her being the first ever female coach to win a VCT match.
This team has serious potential to be crazy in the Americas league.
I think GIA have a lot of potential, but let's be real; they are not beating NRG.
NRG 2-1
Maru already busted my pickems damn.
But damn, HANN is a beast. He could very well be the next upcoming KR Jett.
PRX
KOI
Gen.G
MIBR

I believed in MIBR too much, but god damn Talon look nuts.
Crws really fits in the smokes role, and garnetS is primed to be a superstar.
Look, even as an EA apologist, DFM looked woeful.
Lotus W
Also no Astra on Lotus? She's pretty sick on that map.
If ZETA wins this, they are going all the way 100%.
Good acid test for both teams.
Man, this website loves to switch up, huh?
Many people thought that Wippie was very underrated back in his V1 days, so much so that when G2 signed him, a lot said that a) G2 is going to ruin his career or b) he deserves better.
So why switch up now? Why call him a bot or a pathetic player? Over some drama? Remember the XSET-FPX fiasco? When people were shitting on both teams? Now, look, not a word about it anymore. It happens all the time, water under the bridge later on.
Soon, this will be a lighter issue since both parties will eventually move on.
Wow, look at the difference between playing Chamber and playing Jett.
That’s more like it. RC looked very fluid. It was nice change of pace.
REJECT stop forcing Chamber challenge (impossible)
Like i have no idea why they’re forcing NERFED chamber.
I am trying to believe in RC, but NTH are on fire
NTH 2-1
Giga easy 2-0 SDC
Extremely common Seulgi W
Oh shit, the first pro match on Lotus
Dope
Give a watch to see what the meta might look like.
Banger game
2-1 CR
Wouldn’t mind if SZ won though.
What’s with the downvotes on those who think ZETA’ll win?
That being said, ZETA win against both.
Stable team structure beats spontaneous gameplay IMO.
FL fries 2-0
Based for adding runneR and SyouTa
Why are we all doubting mCe? The man has proven himself to be a good coach.
He first started his gig with Gen.G, and they actually looked marginally competitive under him.
And let's remember what he did with The Guard; he transformed a young team into one of NA's best. They went from Open Quals to winning Challengers and going to their first-ever LAN, all in 4 months. Despite stage 2 being a misstep in the meta, they nearly qualified for Champions.
You can't deny that mCe can't transform C9 into a powerhouse like he did with The Guard; not only that, he worked with leaf, vanity, and xeppaa so he knows how they work.
Qpert isn't a sub; he's a coach.
He was filling as the sixth man until they found a real sub.
Or, for all we know, both BlackHeart and Qpert are subs.
Is anyone having this 1 in a million issue, or is it just me?
Sent ticket after ticket to the support page because they aren't showing in my ticket history.
Anyone here more experienced with these issues?
I was malding when SZ and JDT were in the same group.
But i was more annoyed when CGZ, BC Swell, Blue Bees, and Varrel were in the same group because all 5 of those teams are better than IGZ and RC.
Easy FL Bounceback 2-0
Easiest 2-0 for SZ.
Finally, we get to see the fabled Astra-Yoru-Omen comp on Icebox.
For me, I wish BC Swell or Jadeite made it instead of IGZIST.
LETS GO THEY PICKED ICEBOX.
Might finally see that wild Astra-Yoru-Omen comp live.
Banger match
FL 2-1.
They’ve been getting better and better, but SCARZ are no pushovers.
Credit to where credit is due, Meteor 2.0 is looking really good. A few competitions under his belt and he’ll eventually become the next Jett prospect.
What an absolutely awful final map.
Keep in mind, FL smacked NTH 13-3 on breeze yesterday.
I seriously don’t get why Sengoku’s forcing double duelist all the time— it’s not like Fisker can’t flex.
A week ago, I would’ve said Maru without hesitation.
A week later, and i think NS looks really good.
2-1 NS
Unfortunately, REJECT will continue their struggle. Hopefully they pick Icebox tho.
2-0 CR.
After NTH’s performance,
2-0 Something Gaming.
where sengoku and SCARZ flair
Underrated:
KOI (the darkhorse)
MIBR (old VK Champions 2021 core + bzka -- the Champions 2022 winning coach)
ZETA (have a lot to prove post-Copenhagen + they're against a top contender for LOCK//IN)
Overrated:
LOUD (hot take, but just because they have aspas and less doesn't mean they'll be the same powerhouse they were since they lost two members of their core and their coach)
100T (not overrated per se, but they need to be consistent if they want to prove their dominance this year)
FNC (i actually like this team, but it's always the same cycle of "add two players --> look good for a while --> "it's their tourney to win" --> struggle in internationals --> make new changes"
