all nrg needs to do is figure out roles early, start practicing right away, and they’ll be out the gates swinging

they were hindered last year because they were unable to get ethan/demon1 until after their contracts with eg expired so they had very little time to figure out conflicting roles, and with the lack of a proper igl they couldn’t get the proper direction they need

now nrg has plenty of time to practice and a good igl off the bat. if they don’t start off strong then unfortunately this team isn’t going anywhere for the rest of the season

he is talking about verno

i don’t doubt verno had offers from sen, considering he’s a pretty good replacement for sacy (still not convinced he’s leaving), but i feel he’d be more inclined to follow the coach who’d helped him get to the position he’s in now

it was basically pretty much confirmed nrg was getting verno anyway after they got bonkar

you are not canadaman buddy

likely s0m

sen crashies is becoming more and more possible

does zeek like anyone

surely we didn’t think heretics would drop anyone after the season they’d had right

exactly, with the right pieces igls such as boaster and fns can still make deep runs even if their aim is shit

nrg has very good aimers outside of him, and fnatic will probably get a cracked duelist to replace derke and they’ll both make basically every lan in the year

boaster being as bad as he is still brought his team to being second in emea

fns can make a similar run

verno n4rrate and zander look like brothers

who the fuck has been comparing him to leo LMAOOOOOO

YAHOOOOOO

got me kicking my feet and shit

was this guy ever good outside of his beats

sato will be 18 in february i think

zander HAS to be in franchise by the beginning of next season. way too talented of a player to be in tier 2 anymore

are you next up

imagine this guy ascends and m80 drop him mid-season

it’s too early to tell

if we get verno/n4rrate i think we have a good chance at topping the region but i can’t say for sure, i thought nrg 2024 was going to at least make every lan but look how that turned out

he should be in tier 1

i dunno who’d get him though

hi

yup

post is still bait though

bait unfortunately

it’s not looking too good

what about him

surely the defending world champions actually make it to worlds this year right…

surely people don’t actually think tenz is leaving

how badly will you crash out if sen decide to not pick up verbo

for cs2 definitely

for counter strike in general the record is 86(?)

GG

map 1 btw

keke

happened in 2015, 46:42 on inferno

we might not get there but we are getting dangerously close

Learn to sit back and observe. Not everything needs a reaction.

i’m actually cackling counter strike esports is not real

i guess they’d have to go with english, prx usually comms in english

you as a brazilian should be focusing on the fact that your region looks plenty strong and with proper development they’ll be able to receive the investment they SHOULD’VE been receiving since loud made their first international grand final

yoshi

reta already threw my pickems

don’t make me go 0 for 2

nah this is crazy ☠️☠️

classic

did i miss a banger or what

a popular opinion is that they fluked their way to ascension because they have been mid most of the year but made a run right at the very end to qualify

just because one ascension tournament is bad doesn’t mean the other isn’t just as bad if not worse

welcome back to another episode of riot not giving a singular fuck about the tier 2 scene

if 2g keeps up this form i think they’ll have a chance

otherwise no

why make heat go back to duelist when he’s starting to find his 2021 form on initiator

you and me both brother

luckily i had 2g winning basically every match from here on out and they look back in form so we’re chilling

i didn’t pay attention to guild that much in 2022 but good lord something HAD to have happened for this team to fumble so hard internationally with sayf trexx and leo on the same team

i watched this guy 1v5 a team with neon on bind some time ago so i know he is cracked out of his mind

if 2g doesn’t win ascension do you see him getting onto a tier 1 team?

mta was brought to fill in klaus’ role despite the fact he was a duelist in tier 2. heat plays klaus’ roles better than mta does (hell, even better than klaus does), and with saadhak likely coming on board he would’ve had so much to work with with heat and kenzit, but now that potential isn’t there

it just doesn’t make sense getting rid of heat when he was that good at filling in the gaps klaus left behind
