Trace’s weakness is teams like edg that can get muddy and guy diff them. G2 being structured and less individual reliant is exactly what trace wants. TRACE 2-1 G2

Unless GenG win champs or go far whilst fnc bomb out it has to be fnc. Before this year GenG did absolutely nothing, whereas before 2023 fnc still were consistently making internationals and getting some decent runs, plus this year has been far better than geng were ever before this year. People can say GenG but I think it’s just recency bias with fnc having a far greater all time legacy

Ik people will immediately put BLG and trace at the bottom of their lists but they’ve actually been looking good. Trace are chokers but are a very solid structured team with good firepower and BLG can still drag teams into the mud like last year, but their calling has improved and player quality is far far higher. Also I’m sure talon will cook with primmie on the roster for an extended time period. I genuinely don’t think there are any frauds at this champs and all teams have potential to make something happen

Fnatic won the next tourney is near flawless fashion, they were the best team and deserved to win lock in. Not a fluke and not Mickey Mouse

How are we not even on the list 😭😭😭

Yeah I used to watch this guy but now his editing is doing way too much and it’s no longer a chill time

Is this not free for geng and fpx or am I missing something?

Personally I’d rate 2 masters slightly higher but it is very close

I think drx have proven through the last few games that they can definitely hang with these 3, it’s just a matter of if the brights get too light for the rookies

Stage 1: 1.14 rating
Stage 2: 0.91 rating
Is he doing a lot of calling? Is he just better at smokes than init? Cause people seem to be hating on him but there has to be a reason for his drop in form, as he is an extremely talented player as seen in stage 1. Anyone got any info?

They ain’t believe in us

Well with current form compared to the original post I’d say
FPX > BLG
SEN << LEV
Imo it’s harder

If fpx and sen can play well again this is probably the death group
If not tho I think the most death group is
GenG
G2/lev
Heretics
BLG

Did people say that about buzz?

I put 20k on DRX and made 100k!!

Yuicaw most underrated flex player

I trust you, reported him

Definitely the best team itw and buzz is the best player itw and GenG are washed and t3xture is mid and overrated

Do you guys think the best 4 teams have qualified from each region? Personally the only suspect one is TLN but they did beat RRQ and TS during split 2 so ig they valid. Overall I think it's a very good representation of the best teams rn and should be a good tourney

Death group will have BLG as 4th sorry
BLG are way closer to other higher CN seeds than SEN are to LEV or G2
My death group would be:
GEN
LEV/G2
VIT/TH
BLG

last year was different cause there was 5 emea and 3 china but this year its just 1 2 3 4 from diff regions

sen have more points than 100t and g2 and aren't top 3 so points don't matter for 100t g2 or kru

edg best abyss

hello I am kru believer

only if lev get 4th unless im mistaken

BLG 2-0 FPX
Love fpx but they look abysmal rn sorry

Looks like last year where it is really competitive but there is a pretty heavy favourite, last year being fnc and this year geng. Definitely high potential for a lot of teams to go far tho

id say hes mostly like stax as he was a good caller but didn't want to call, and eventually left to join another team where he wouldn't have to call and could shine. Plus yk they both play initiator or whatever

Spitfires has been far better and more explosive than most Chinese duelists recently, tonight was a bit off but he still went crazy on the first half of sunset

Felt like mental problems were their biggest weakness throughout, with an inability to close out maps and series during split 1, and then tonight losing a 5v2 and a 4v2 back to back which cost them sunset and a potential 3rd map. Sword9 and ego do seem like a strong duo that can cook up ideas and this team definitely exceeded all expectations, but just weren’t quite at the top. Good season overall with lots of positives to take away and build upon

Don’t talk about my king Lysoar like that again buddy.

Off the list like usual :(

Creep

GEN PRX DRX TLN
EDG FPX
LEV
FNC

Anyone got any thoughts or feelings? Idk how TLN snuck in over RRQ and TS but ig they did, also EDG are kinda suspect but they've looked better the last couple weeks with s1mon. I think FNC are a big question mark in terms of power and FPX have looked very poor this split after a good showing in Shanghai.

go blg!

Tbh by the end of it China was very close with bottom teams like Tyloo tec and wolves starting to look a lot better right at the end, and there are about 4-5 teams that could be on top of the region any given day. So I’d say China is the most competitive

What happened?

If trace win then fpx edg trace and Jdg/BLG will have the 4 most points so they all qual cause whoever misses top 3 gets in anyway
If ag win then idk it’s just whoever gets top 3 and then points will be either be fpx/edg if they go 0/2 or trace if either ag/BLG/Jdg go 0/2

If trace beat all gamers which is likely the jdg/blg game becomes a qualification game due to how the points work out. I'd say jdg/blg is 50/50 and trace vs ag is 70/30 so id give blg about a 40% chance of making champs

yeah I mean I love swerl but I think JDG are playing far better than NOVA atm so I'd rather see them in playoffs

won't be grands cause ts will lose and then lose again to them in single elim

It’s based on h2h and nova beat them during split 1

Tonight is a crazy crazy game:
If JDG win they make playoffs
If AG win NOVA take the playoff slot from JDG
For everyone with the dream of stew making champs I hope you can step away from GEN vs TS for a bit and come cheer the JDG gang on! Also this game could be a banger or a JDG sweep it’s kinda hard to tell where AG are at

1: Flex1n
2: Dragon
3: Monyet
4: Biggiecheese
5: Karon

-inconsistent mindfreak +Biggiecheese

something
f0rsaken
Biggiecheese
Jinggg
d4v41

this roster with a consistent controller is a guaranteed top 2 at every international stage

argue with a brick wall

I think they're mostly in t2 China

Super banger game, lowkey rooting for AG here

Bracket working differently just to make sure these 2 play again

FETA IS THE TRUTH

dont they need to beat ag and need wolves to beat drg or smth? idk they might but I don't think its likely
