bro called game

that one round on lotus still lives in my head rent free

is this confirmed

you’re right i forgot lock in

internationally it is tied between heretics, prx, and the optic/envy core

please free him

what’s with the tuyz pick is this guy jacked or something

this post was sent via internet explorer

zmjj is his brother’s in-game alias

kk is kang kang, which is his name

woot is a better duelist than miniboo

he would’ve, in fact, performed better as a duelist

they still would’ve lost because other duelists also perform better

is this what you wanted to hear?

the roster is fine. they have to make fundamental changes to their game plan

the way they’re playing now isn’t going to merit them much success

okay yeah you’re coping lol

i’m not saying woot would’ve shit the bed like miniboo, i’m saying he wouldn’t have dropped +20 every match like he did in shanghai. this was why th made the run they did

no duelist in history has been able to maintain a performance like that, not even the best in the world. with patitek in the roster you’re not changing much either way besides some better util, too

time to let patitek go, my friend, he’s going to koi

rose-tinted glasses might actually be red at this point, woot isn’t a god and can’t do the things he does forever

not even aspas or derke or zekken, with how they’re capable of putting games on their back, was capable of making much of an impact. this has been the case with most duelist players at this event because good teams know exactly how to shut down good duelists; if woot kept playing the same shit would’ve happened because now teams are capable of anti-stratting woot after their stint in shanghai

and heretics looked good this event despite everything you’re saying lol, just so happens that they can’t close out when it matters, it’s something that’s been the recurring theme of this team for the entire year. despite this, this bo5 was VERY close, arguably the best ever

edg would’ve been the better team no matter who played duelist. this is true no matter what argument you make

“i’m not expecting them to win champs, but i do expect an overall better team” they got SECOND, brother. they were literally one (1) map from taking home the trophy

this is literally the best possible scenario you can have in the biggest event of the year while still not taking home the trophy 😭😭

okay sure, let’s assume woot was playing duelist at champs and patitek was playing in place of miniboo AND woot was still the best player on his team by a wide margin

do you seriously mean to tell me patitek is better individually than miniboo? you can argue util usage but there’s only so much util can do if you can’t shoot back. they still lost shanghai even with woot being arguably the best duelist at the event

kk was by far and away better than ANY player on heretics in the grand final. he would’ve outperformed miniboo or woot on duelist today

you’re right, my dumbass logic absolutely can apply to every player which is why it wouldn’t have made much of a difference at all if woot played duelist for this event LMAOOOOOOOOOO

also by the way, it seems this site has collectively forgotten miniboo was their best player in kickoff and then slowly began to fall off as the year continued

who’s to say this wouldn’t have happened to woot?

rose-tinted glasses

woot isn’t going to have a generational performance like he did in shanghai all the time. he would’ve slowed down a little (like most very good players do), and because patitek himself is about as strong as miniboo mechanically, they would’ve still not been able to close out

if you think th would’ve reached grands without woot having that kind of an event, then you’re unfortunately the one who’s coping

y’all, the patitek roster was not as good as you think, woot was legitimately hard carrying them through the whole event

he is absolutely a better duelist, but he isn’t gonna drop those insane numbers forever (perhaps go positive more, though) and patitek himself isn’t a strong enough player to support another run like this if woot doesn’t do woot things

“best player in the world” you can debate but it is absolutely not debatable that AT LEAST one fnatic player should be in the top 5 in 2023, if not multiple

the fact that there isn’t is insane

i love it when people on this site see a team get hyped so much that they feel a burning need to try and say shit like this about them to cope. it’s so funny to watch

didn’t paper rex’s insane clout come after their copenhagen run

no real clouted teams in copenhagen or berlin, and differing timezones for western viewers in tokyo and shanghai, so it does make sense

7/8, good bait but i’ve seen it before

true as hell though the guy is still a fucking demon with the op

riens

oh yeah we're cooked lol

how much?

fraud watch

5th is probably just prx, they did make every lan

prx have been doing it for longer

give heretics another year or so

110, one shy of kk record

sentinels who solo hold sites like benjy usually have high first engagements because attackers often invade their site and they're forced to take duels

crazy how we live in a world where china won an international chip before prx

fuck it, talon esports are your 2025 valorant world champions

bro made a whole account for this ☠️

we will leave that to you, my friend
