bro
they almost beat SEN (6 months of practice) in Madrid with a SUB (3.5 weeks of practice with Patitek)

they were also +2 in rounds against SEN despite losing to them

1. AMERICAS
2. EMEA
3. PACIFIC (90% of games are mid bro. the only good ones are from PRX, DRX, and TS)

its not slow
thas some stereotype from like 2021

yup
emea for masters

after shanghai = back on NAVI

im mainly an EMEA fan more than a NAVI fan, but NAVI > all

i dont watch most AMERICAS

EMEA is way more fun

not bandwagoning

heretics is my 2nd favorite team after NAVI
since NAVI isnt at Shanghai, I have TH flair to show who im supporting for the win

I will have NAVI flair again after Shanghai

miniboo beating this against prx at shanghai

lmfao

kekw

g2 getting grouped bro
with t1 edg drg

pattern of which side of the bracket the winner of each international event comes from
M2 2021: Uppers
M3 2021: Neutral (Fill this with Lowers)
Champs 2021: Neutral (Fill this with Uppers)
M1 2022: Lowers
M2 2022: Lowers

Champs 2022: Uppers
LOCK//IN 2023: Neutral (fill this with Lowers)
M1 2023: Uppers
Champs 2023: Lowers
Madrid 2023: Lowers

the core of the pattern is uppers, lowers, uppers, lowers, lowers

Shanghai is the 11th tournament, meaning the winner will be the winner of the Upper Final of Playoffs (So PRX will actually win Shanghai)

FNATIC FUT
LEVIATAN G2
GENG T1
EDG DRG

which 4 are making it out (probs the ones that matchup with both chinese teams... (loud fluke 4th place in madrid))

FNC way more successful than NV/OPTIC/NRG kekwww

Trophies: 1
Average Placement: 4.625
Events Attended: 8

.

2nd - N/A - 5th - 11th (had 2 subs tho) - 4th - 6th - 1st - 1st - 4th - N/A - Shanghai
Average FNC Placement: 4.25
Average FNC Placement w/o Reykjavik 2022: 3.28

will they fall off?

SENTINELS didnt even make a LAN in 2022-2023 (only got to LOCK//IN (where all teams were)) and now didnt even make Shanghai kekw

FNC also have way better average placements

this isnt even a conversation...

NAVI isnt in Shanghai. and TH is the team im rooting for the tournament.
After Shanghai, Im back on the NAVI flair.

ikr
look at my pickem https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/b769b35b
if I chose correctly in the 50 :50 match of NAVI vs TH, Id have 160 points = top 97 users or 200 points if TH wins tomorrow

will it be all 8 teams in the same group like Madrid with the 4 first seed teams from each region automatically qualifying to playoffs?
or 4 teams group A and 4 teams group B

??????????
TH > NAVI > FNC > FUT

ikr

TL
12-7 against NRG
10-2 against NAVI

yup
like almost every game theyve played in stage 1 was a comeback lmfao

TH > NAVI > FNC > FUT ig

SUYGETSU
Zyppan

hold uppp

0/8

SEN: 6 months practice
HERETICS: only 3.5 weeks practice with Patitek

and SEN barely beat them...

SEN is ass

this post is a bait
do not respond

0/8

Berlin 2021 and Reykjavik 2021 being the lowest is a crime

easiest way to tell that you just didnt watch those events

dont rank em if u didnt watch em

trueeee

other events were just better tho (all masters/kickoff events are good)

bro there were so many games tho
a lot of them were pretty hype

• mostly because other events were just better
• no EU vs NA games at all
• eu's 2 best teams werent even at the event/had 2 subs so it was only AMERICAS and PACIFIC really.

zeta's run is the only reason it is higher than Tokyo

but ez FNC stomp

it was a good tournament
but nowhere close to the others except Reykjavik 2022 (no EU vs NA games at all + EU's best teams werent even at the event so it was kinda bedge)
only thing that puts Reykjavik 2022 > Tokyo is the ZETA run

current masters/kickoff tournament ranking in terms of entertainment

1. Copenhagen 2022
2. Berlin 2021
3. Reykjavik 2021
4. LOCK//IN 2023
5. Madrid 2024
6. Reykjavik 2022
7. Tokyo 2023

FNATIC 100T G2 PRX clout org/clout team status
HERETICS got Spanish Clout
FUT got Turkish Clout
EDG FPX TRACE got Chinese Clout
?KRU got LATAM + Messi Clout
T1 GENG are the Korean teams

seems pretty exciting to me

yoo LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

100T HERETICS and PRX are the contenders

GX will be good in stage 2 (unlucky that they have a hard group tho with all 3 of FUT NAVI TH)
i have sources

???????????
I have heretics flair on rn cuz I cant really root for NAVI if they arent in Shanghai.
I can list my order:

1. NAVI
2. HERETICS
3. FNATIC
4. VITALITY/(any team FNS is on)
5. TEAM SECRET
6. TL
7. GX
8. KC
9. KOI
10. FUT

1. HERETICS
2. FUT
3. NAVI
4. FNATIC
5. TL
6. KARMINE CORP
7. GIANTX
8. VITALITY
9. M8
10. BBL
11. KOI

no
unless FNS comes back

pls FNS and Sayf be on the same team

bro he won first strike 2020 EU on Heretics (MVP)
and was pretty good throughout all of 2021-2022
(G2 Berlin 2021 top 4, G2 Reykjavik 2022 top 6, G2 good performances in EMEA (when EMEA used to be the best region and all of the top 8 teams were good))
in 2023, he was on Giants (a decent team) and he made Champs 2023 and GIANTS would prob be the 3rd best team in AMERICAS (beat KRU (LCQ winners), and NRG were ass)

frauds

free Sayf

nukkye has igl'd before too btw

but cender isnt the problem

runner and Kicks are not prodigies, just some dudes who snuck in
Nukkye can easily replace one of them and VIT will make champs with NAVI FUT HERETICS
