if bonkar doesn't ban sunset 2 seconds into the start of the veto I will break my computer

Skuba is good, Luk xo is a prodigy jailed on this shit loud roster, Cortezia will be a solid player over the course of his career too

low bar to clear eh...

I mean I know there's a chance but there's also a chance that a meteor strikes earth in the next 24h and I think that the chance of nrg winning is just slightly higher than that

Had some delusional hope for my team leading into this week but after seeing the ass whooping g2 just gave 100t, it is unfortunately very cooked for us time to beat KRU/LEV into c9/100 in lowers

yeah but he preferred to work with engh than atom

no, they're eliminated because by default there will be four teams who end up with more points than them

actually true
yeah all things considered we got a really good result out of this group stage—1st place, 4 points, and nobody is THAT far ahead of us in points, it's totally in our hands now
if we don't make 3rd (or 4th in the loud win scenario) we didnt deserve it anyway

and also that they shit the bed in split 2 lol. in fact if they didn't somehow win against 100t then we'd be hard chilling rn we'd just need 4th no matter what. but oh well

I DO QUITE ENJOY LUCKY DRAWS

fingers crossed...

round 2* because we already have a bye, but yes
if by some miracle loud wins it means we can fall to the lower without much consequence, win our next game, and we're in

more or less yea. I dont trust loud to win so I'm not setting my benchmark at 4th tbh

well no, the c9 thing just rearranges the brackets so we get to dodge g2 but is overall irrelevant to the outcome.
3rd place locks us in no matter what, and 4th place locks us in if LOUD > MiBR, I hope that makes sense

no, it just makes our life a lot easier. if loud beats mibr, we qualify as long as we are 4th or higher. if they don't (which is to be expected bc loud is ass), we need minimum 3rd

It would be extremely convenient for us, yea 💀

the guy has a horribly worded point, but I can somewhat see it? I think he's trying to say that lev would get fucked by having the same bracket as SEN and G2 whereas one of 100T/NRG/C9 is basically guaranteed qualification because they'd play for Champs qual solely between themselves without facing either of the two top dogs

(not that I'd complain if that happens xd)

Ya tu sabe mi pana

LOUD isn't winning shit on that I agree... but a girl can hope.
C9 in playoffs however

LEV has tiebreak, so Lev would make it!

G2 beating us doesn't make too much of a difference.
If we make third place, we're guaranteed
Plus if LOUD beats MiBR on Sunday, then we're guaranteed even in fourth place.

It's not stage 2 standing, it's 2025 standings overall and mibr is lucky enough to have tiebreaker against NRG, C9, and 100T. But the funny thing is lev has so few points that not even getting third will save them. In a scenario where it's G2/SEN finalists, LEV 3rd and NRG 4th, MiBR and NRG would go to champs (both would be tied at 9 and LEV would still be stuck at 8).

In the case of the Scandinavian countries you mentioned it's just culture because those were hotbeds for PC gaming (development as well as playing) in the early days. same reason American and Japanese players are generally dominant in controller games

G2 system is so disciplined and drilled that they are able to plug and play anyone and look good tbh.
That said Babybay could very likely hold his own in T2 if he wanted to (but there's no real reason to)

Leo Sacy Crashies Stax (not necessarily in that order)
idk who is 5th rn

Had someone (you?) not linked it, I wouldn't have HAHSDJFKSDF

PS. Help there's actually people slinging downvotes this is very funny to me 😭

I'm deliberately an asshole on twitter but I am fr glad people engage with my trolling, positively or negatively, y'all make it fun to shoot shit 🔥🫶🏻

Nah nah I'm just an Americas hustler through and through, unfortunately within this league I have made quite the poor choice of teams... alas I dig my grave and lie in it.

GGWP to Heretics I am looking forward to Toronto should be a lot of fun games to make a lot of fun ragebait 🫡

NRG has been in Cancun since the Pleistocene era so I'm used to it 💀 Also glad ur having fun with the hate tweets I enjoy my craft

LMFAOOOOO goated

relative to their level in americas, yes. but explicitly they placed quite well, 4th is respectable

it's really heartwarming to see them talk about how far they've come as players, especially since this MiBR team was almost not supposed to exist for so many reasons (Aspas was supposed to be in Bleed, Verno in NRG, Xenom was thinking about going to CS2 in the offseason, etc... crazy)

NEVER MIND GUYS I AM DUMB I READ IT IN REVERSE
I saw "Less tech pauses than Ludwig x Tarik" and I'm like yeah no shit...?

we really cannot compare an official vct broadcast to a for fun content creator tournament

edit: I read the post above this backward, I am dumb

I feel like sport psychologists are the most obvious investment in a sport where everyone is like an 18-20 year old child who is more likely than not emotionally immature. I don't know a single person in this age bracket (myself included) who has it all sorted out in life. And that's for those of us who are in normal stress environments like college. These guys are training 24/7 and playing games in front of millions of fans who might throw hate if they lose, with little job security if they don't play well

BUT ALAS

Ok I mean guys FNS is playing like ass, can't shoot nor call right now, but where do you get this narrative that he doesn't aim train lol
There's no way he as a pro decides "yeah I'm just not going to train the fundamental aspect of this game," he might try and still suck but there's no way he doesn't atl try

they are being pushed a LOT more in split1 than they were in kickoff, close games vs basically everyone except NRG.
even furia had a decent showing vs them. MiBR and LEV could easily have won their series vs them if a few certain rounds went differently

do we think they have lost their flawless form or have other teams just stepped up

I am blind I completely fudged the stats of him and pryze Fml

neither is guaranteed. if theoretically they finish 8th and 10th respectively, one of them goes home and the other one goes to ascension. obviously it will never happen there's no way G2 does that badly

he has been one of the better players on 2G for a while since 2024, Brazilian teams should know of this already

Hopefully NRG for Americas, I hope mada and the grandpa can level up in order to play in front of their hometown

your pathetic region currently holds the record for longest streak without any trophies, the only direction your slots ought to be going is downward

Going to be AT LEAST 728 days, and that's assuming they win Toronto 💀

5 straight events with no trophy, that's a record in partnership era LMAOOOO

vcs devem parar de tentar comparar a 2g com a g2, eh simplesmente inalcançável nesse momento.
o objetivo é pegar top8 pra disputar o ascension mais uma vez. e se nao ganharem no ascension depois 1 ano morar em LA, treinar e jogar com os melhores times do Americas, nao merecem.

he said before he is not fluent in Spanish—he is a heritage speaker

FNS, Zap, Saadhak, Boostio and D1. I mostly love IGLs, but especially players that are funny or personable (and in Boostio and D1's case, I love the villain persona)

what language is this? I know serviceable amount of hindi but this doesn't seem like it

En verdad fue una mierda pelee con mi mejor amiga y ahora no nos hablamos
