Jexen back to head coach potentially?
Is this what BLG needs to tip them back into the top 3

What games is everyone most hyped for in week 1? Obviously NRG vs LOUD will be hype but me personally I’m looking forward to WOL vs FPX as it’s my fav team, oce vs oce, and wolves playing a top team will be cool to gage how powerful they are.
Let me know your opinions down below 👇

I think they’ll be good and are being underrated but to say they almost beat sen is a big stretch

SEN NRG 100T
FNC KC NAVI
PRX GENG RRQ
EDG WOL BLG

Banger match icl but wolves win 2-1

Should be 7 on defence and 10 on attack cause he always planting 😂

I’ve finally found someone that shares my vision

They looked like a top 3/4 team after the first wolves game with a sick player

Banger?

Who tf thinks rrq can win against TS? You guys have HIGH iq to be honest.

Yes it does how is an injured player going to do better ahahahah

tixx has gone to antic esports but idk what happened to maple

Australia

They are a team with no previous core that will take time but have potential to be the best CN team, and I feel like by split 1 they will already be a top team and will just improve a lot over the split, enough that they'll be good enough to make shanghai but maybe they won't as other teams have been together for ages

Wolves making shanghai bro

I was asleep by midnight but my body clock told me there was a banger so I woke up at 4am right after the first map

TS and RRQ

top 3 entry itw probably up there with Spring and Jemkin rn

RRQ haven't been to an international yet
APAC looking good this year

Spring (Duelist)
Pl1xx (IGL Flex)
Coldfish (Initiator)
Yuicaw (Senti)
Aluba (Smokes)

China is between EDG FPX WOL BLG TRACE but personally, I think FPX and TRACE miss out with WOL and BLG making it but it could go any way also JDG have a new igl so who knows maybe they return to form

No matter what happens it will NOT be 2023 over the next few months

Ahaha this will trigger the snowflakes 😂

New player = worse synergy
:0
Must replace with another new player instead of building synergy cause the new player will have synergy cause they just will

It’s better than the alternative of a bracket reset

PRX best sunset itw they win 13-7

yeah if geng lost fights they would lose rounds so they are bad cause they win fights

He plays on the 2nd best t2 thai team and is decent

HSK ex DFM

3 is enough for pacific

munchkin didnt igl last year that was xeta

Why are people saying they trolled the veto like they'd have a better chance on sunset which is their perma like shoosh split will be close sunset wouldn't

would you ban your permaban or a map you're good at regardless of opponent

sunset would be just as bad if not worse chance for geng

Split should go SEN
Breeze should go GEN
I think this whole series ignoring an upset should be decided by lotus which is 55/45 in GENG favour imo

geng have played ascent 3 times and won 13/5 13/5 13/4 so it may be better than their breeze/icebox and besides sen don't even look that bad on icebox

Sen ban ascent
GenG ban sunset
Sen pick split
GenG pick icebox
Sen ban breeze
GenG ban bind
Lotus remains

GenG are more likely to win split than sunset

RRQ didn't play PRX either

CN
S: EDG FPX
A: WOL BLG TE
B: TEC JDG DRG
C: NOVA
F: AG TYL

This is not accounting for the rumored roster changes for split 1 which will boost TYL NOVA JDG in theory

194cm
76kg

Middle of the pack team I’m afraid, and by the looks of it most teams below them are making moves, could punch up but I’m imagining they either will just miss playoffs or go out round 1

Sen would rather bind than icebox I reckon I feel the decider will be lotus but I agree with the first 4

They have only played GenG this year and people will still put them bottom half

Can you explain why RRQ are in 9th

Real China rankings
1: EDG
2: BLG
3: WOL

Obviously edg number 1 but let’s all be fr, BLG vs trace in playins was a huge toss up and could’ve gone either way whilst BLG had an unwell player, I personally think BLG looked better than trace after that first game they played.
Ok ok so how come BLG > Trace means anything? How come wolves are 3rd? FPX are a very frag dependent team and against teams with strategies and similar aim they fall apart which is they look good regionally against teams like DRG that are actually have no macro, I think that all of wolves BLG and trace have better strategy than FPX and all have close firepower. Had FPX faced wolves or BLG I think they would’ve been outplayed on a macro level and unable to diff on a solo level enough to get anything done. Thanks for reading everyone 😊

Wolves!!!! Spring goat!!!!

:(

Had the RRQ map 3 icebox comeback happened could RRQ have made the same run? I think so and more they probably wouldn’t have dropped a map yet

Spring
