Drama? How so?

It's been a week, get over the NA > EU shit

new G2, FPX, Gambit, T1, C9B, Envy, ABX, GenG

Overrated:
100T as a whole, Jamppi, Zellsis

Underrated:
Wippie, Gen.G, new ABX

Personally it's not my favourite, but i've grown to like it than the beginning. In the beginning, it felt like I could get shot from ANYWHERE and not know where the shot came from, but since i play smokes, I like it a bit more now.

As for your question, i think they'll add it to the map pool this challengers, don't know about qualifiers though.

Jady on FPX would be insane but his and Shao's agent pools are pretty similar, albeit Jady play(ed?) Jett.

FNATIC
Gambit (Prayge)
FPX (Prayge)
G2/Liquid/ACEND

T1?

As a T1 fan, this was for the best. DaZed did have his moments, no doubt about it, but he was always bringing the team down. His CSGO approach made T1 a very confusing team and they've underperformed when they shouldn't have.

KR:

Rb (Duelist)
Lakia (Sova)

CLZ (Flex)

Zellsis: "NUTURN is alright, i think they're beatable"

ends up losing to them in an admittedly close game

two very respected names in OW

NU 2-1 V1

Big banger of a game, V1 is on a HOT streak after beating the top EU seed, and yes, they really do have the potential to beat NUTURN, but I think Solo and the crew will be resilient and tactical enough to not be ousted by V1's tactics.

REALI-TEA

My bracket's literally disappeared, but god damn what a game by V1.

check the stickied thread called "team flairs"

My bracket's literally disappeared, but god damn what a game by V1.

yo this game might actually be a banger. X10 are no slouches; their match against VKS is the only OT match so far. Patiphan is actually insane, crws and sScary are a great support duo. Munchkin is a freak of nature, and his shotcalling along with the rest of the team who are great. CR 2-1 frfr.

Despite CR losing a very close first map, i think the doubts on them have gone quiet. "ez 13-0 by V1" headass.

Some of y'all sound like dumbasses thinking that CR is a shit team for losing against SEN in a fucking ranked game 4 v 5 lmao. CR was playing with their coach, and without their star player Munchkin, so it was basically a 4 v 4. 100T lost a lot of ranked games, but are people like "these randoms are better than 100T??? 100T WASHED??!?!?!"

There's also another belief that CR is bad because of scrim results. Scrimbucks don't mean a lot. There are a lot of teams with great scrim results but couldn't make up for it in the real game, or teams with bad scrim results but come out banging in their games. Hell G2, the team that Mixwell plays for, was pretty hyped in scrims, but they looked disjointed as hell in games.

Let's just see how CR does against V1 without having a kneejerk reaction about them losing a ranked game. Losing a ranked game is no big deal. Both CR and SEN are playing ranked in another region other than their own. Nothing to gauge from that.

And CR was playing with their coach. Your point? You can't base a team's skill off a ranked game.

Im currently on a week ban for internet issues and I missed only 5 rounds.

10 minutes ain't anything buddy.

KEKW i'm all about that spice

FNC 3-1 NU

Their Ascent has been worse than Bind lately, and FNC on Ascent is gonna give them a tough time.

FNC 2-1 SEN

Big banger of a game; FNC on Bind is gonna be scary, ion think SEN will be able to handle it, despite how good they've been playing on Bind recently. The rest of the maps are up in the air. I believe in Derke supremacy.

CR 2-1

Munchkin on Raze is a genuine threat, Neth can switch between duelist and sentinels pretty well, and the team overall is very balanced. V1 coming in with a sub will hinder a lot of momentum, and despite Vanity's IGL'ing and coordination, I don't think V1 will be able to overcome their struggle and be the first team to go to the lower bracket in Iceland.

NUTURN wins gg.

Jupiter does not lose to the same opponent twice in the same tourney.

JUP 3-1 CR

FPX 2-0

They are on another level. I don’t Liquid can outbrain ANGE1 and his crew, and also don’t have enough firepower, except ScreaM, to shut down Zyppan. Scream and team go down to the decider match to play Gambit.

Shame that VS and NUTURN are on the same side of the brackets, because it would’ve been a great finale.

Assuming VS gets their shit together, I think they’ll play F4Q or Rio Company, both teams who really can give VS a hard time.

Tragedy that NUTURN and VS will be a semifinals match and are on the same side of the bracket. If VS gets their shit together, this will for sure be a close game.

T1 2-1 C9

New players take a while to be integrated for C9. Look when Leaf and poiz joined; they were pretty lacklustre in the beginning. Even if Floppy joins, he will take time to adjust.

T1 on the come up, beating FaZe in a close match. We don't talk about Bind, but Icebox and Split were pretty clean by T1.

T1 vs SEN
Even as a T1 fan, they are gonna get rolled.

I can't begin to describe how bad EG look. They need to make changes FAST. Possible solution:

+ARIANARCHIST (Omen)
-Potter (move to coaching)
+Theia and/or Athxna (sentinel players)
Alternate between Osias and Clawdia on Jett.

FNC looks so much better. Derke and Doma are a crazy duo, god damn.

FNC on Bind is always something to behold. So clean and precise, and fun to watch.

You were saying?

Oranges for the win, much more flavour and tang.

NA: TenZ or Asuna
BR: mwzera (no questions)
KR: Rb
EU: Jady (hot take), ScreaM, cNed

ACEND vs NIP

Maybe if T1 gets their shit together and gets someone like dephh, they actually have a chance to qualify.

But realistically, SEN and one of the four in NV, FaZe, 100T and XSET.

fnatic's notable 2021 bind wins:

14-12 ACEND
13-0 DNC (not only on bind but also haven)
13-6 FPX (7-0 T-half)
13-8 Guild
13-6 WAVE (the team that beat FNC in the match later on)
13-1 Giants (11-1 T-half)
13-5 Liquid
And in 2021 alone, FNC lost 3 out of the 19 times they played bind

yeah bro, fnatic's bind's overrated totally

why not XSET?

Honourable mentions also goes to FaZe, Envy and ABSOLUTE Jupiter

EU: FNATIC and FPX
