any team beats NRG when brawk cant use the spam gun tbh.

yeah. he won a masters and came second in another with that GENG roster, and full credit to them all. but its clear that meteor had a much larger role on that roster than we think

but flashback OP gave them control on a main one of those rounds and he even got a nice pick. then the rest of the roster got run down by odin and phantoms and looked so bad on the retake. i think their mental got broke in the second half.

i think freeing looked fantastic on the lurks in map 1 and 2. he was popping up everywhere when NRG least expected it. yes he messed up with the trips a couple of times but he really did his job in the first half of the game. but i do agree that if there was a scapegoat to be made on this roster, its no longer beyn but it would be freeing. flicker can play viper really well but tbh he cant play sentinel. yes its the easiest role to learn and i do think next year flicker over freeing could work but it doesnt fix the mental issue. this roster should NOT be choking like they did in map 2 and 3.

its literally only because of meteor. he is the real saviour of korea. the only korean player who is able to keep a stable mental for his team. i hope he gets some competent players and coaches on his team next year. he deserves all the hype he gets. i might stop hatewatching T1 now just to see him do well again.

did you see what happened when he did that? he got spammed out with the brawdin and mowed down every time. he couldnt get a pick. but then NRG just started spamming C over and over again but what could they have done? they were getting run over.

lets give termi credit where it is due. he did cook up an amazing waylay + second duelist stratbook. but he is not good as a coach who can bring the mental of a team back. DRX got frustrated and panicked due to that odin, leading to them making so many mistakes and even tac timeouts couldnt stop that.

if freeing has to go, i hope they bring in flicker and give him time to learn how to play sentinel. freeing was always a sentinel player but when he was thrown onto the initiator role, i think he forgot how to play his former role. also he was put in literally the worst most impossible situations on lotus. that comp was AWFUL on defense and hyunmin had 0 impact on waylay on the defense.

hyunmin and flashback were the only reason DRX had a chance in the first 2 maps. they were literally performing black magic on the NRG players all throughout haven and corrode. they crashed on lotus because they were getting carried in the first half by beyn.

only if he gets paid triple the rest of the team's salary because he would be the best player on the team by miles. westside is actually top 5 EMEA right now with his current form.

i think they panic when they get into a second half. as a long time former DRX fan, i can say that DRX almost always crumbles in the second half, whether they are winning or losing. they can go like 9-3 in the first half and then shit the bed the next half. and they are lucky to get overtime in those cases. it has to be a mental issue because they have been doing this for years now. if they dont close a game out quick, they throw really quickly.

they are catching themselves off guard because hyunmin only knows the set plays

yeah even their group stage mode couldnt defeat the korean choke nerf. that is an INSANE throw, 7-0 to 11-13

thats because hyunmin doesnt know how to play waylay and just dies.

this is why i stopped cheering for them. they make you have a heart attack every time they play.

their defense is really bad with this comp. flashback needs to get an opening pick for them to win the round

that clutch was giving ardiis 1v3 ascent overtime vs DRX 3 years ago... wow that was phenomenal.

clutch master has finally lost his touch :(

i don't care. im not denying that what i said wasnt nice. you are just feeling hurt because i called you stupid. its not that big of a deal, its not like i actually know you in real life.

Drug is drug

Fr. If he keeps up this pick me ass behaviour, I might actually decide to put a curse on him.

Good idea. If it's heads, put on the DRX flair. and if it's tails, put on the DRX flair.

werent you the girl who got exposed for lying repeatedly?

you sound very stupid on this site though

i think i don't really care. thanks for letting me know though.

yikes. my condolences, i guess you cant read more than 20 words in a row. sadly, I don't actually care.

Idk what the fuck this forum even exists for if it isn't a place to discuss opinions. It's clear enough that this is an opinion the person has and it's fine to discuss them, especially if they are harmless like this

oh so you will take SEN Asuna instead? that's fine, i personally would choose cryo but if you dont want a one trick, then asuna should be fine for SEN right? (i am a SEN hatewatcher and want to watch the team crumble but i promise I'm not suggesting asuna as a sabotage to the roster. why would I do that? its not like I am hatewatching SEN, right?)

idk what you mean by this. I am neutral towards 100T and I have never really felt anything towards cryo or any of the 100T players. I hope you're not suggesting that I have it out for cryo or 100T in general?
Edit: MB i just saw what 100T did and how people are reacting to cryo getting dropped too... this is a silly move imo. what is 100T thinking?

he is the "low hanging fruit" the fake fans will scapegoat when 100T loses. they already used to do it back with the old roster as well.

cryo is right there...

i didnt say mibr "deserved" the spot. i acknowledge that some teams do get there due to the results of other teams, but mibr did qual for a masters this year so despite not technically "deserving" the spot, they did do something to earn it. just like how NRG did the one thing that would win them a spot in champions, by going on a lower bracket run. and then it comes back to the question of how can you deserve a spot at an international tournament? it is already a privilege to be there because not many teams make it every year comparatively to the number of teams in franchising, and a lot of VCT players work really hard and a lot of them want to make it to champions. so this question of deserving a spot is not a rabbit hole worth going down because then it leads to these kinds of conversations.

how can you say a team "deserves" to make it to champions if they only would have made it in on a technicality? that isnt exactly deserved, don't you think? and what does it mean to "deserve" to make it? you were good? you put in the effort? you won a certain match so you "deserve" to be there? everyone who is at champions earned their spot somehow, even if they flopped later in the season.

o7 but a necessary change if 100T wants to challenge for that top spot in Americas. they just were not going anywhere with that core and I like the retention of cryo and eeiu, the two best players from the previous roster.

Pacific
no
FPX vs DRX at champions 2022 i think? when the legendary ascent map happened
idk... im not really hatewatching any players right now
he is the goat, super consistent and a clutch master (and he is my cutie patootie as well)

is every chinese team about to go out 0-2 in groups?? its really not looking good for the region this time around.

i wouldn't say the japanese team was griefing, but yes peterbot did do well for a team without a drop spot. kind of embarassing that the other supposed top 2 teams on the NAC region with unconned drops and max loot, mats and surge placed significantly worse than the team with no drop spot out of the NA teams. the 2 teams that qualed from the most recent FNCS were the NA teams that placed the best too. i find that quite ironic, how the teams that qualed last did the best at globals.

it was actually heartbreaking but yes i did also watch the nats facecam several times and then patitiek crashing out on cam too. the observers did TL so dirty that round with the replays.

yeah the irony is i used to have the DRX flair on for 3 entire years straight till stage 1 this year and NOW the time when i doubt DRX is when it costs me my entire pickem. i should know better than to doubt opening match DRX...

3/4 because i lost faith in groups DRX.

mibr is definitely winning. this is a good gamble.

i said what i said. EDG is going out 0-2, BLG 1-2, DRG probably 1-2 (T1 is not very good rn imo) and XLG at this point is already out against the china slayers.

no, i mean DRG with demon1 has a slim chance to make it out in lowers. BLG is getting grouped.

mibr are making it out of groups. every chinese team will get grouped this champions. i can guarantee it. even DRG doesnt stand much of a chance imo.

not just group stage DRX, but OPENING MATCH DRX could win grand finals at ANY international tournament against any opponent. I am not joking. this team turns into the avengers every time they play an opening match. unbeaten and always look terrifying despite how they looked before coming to the international tournament.

they feel like the shakiest and weakest top seed tbh. I base my ratings of teams off "vibes" (a very flawed system ik but it works) and TL gives me "could make top 4 but will most likely flop" vibes right now. let's compare this to the other 3 EMEA teams at champions: GX is the typical underdog that can do serious damage at champs, fnatic is giving fallen titans but potential to win vibes, and TH feels like a wildcard. they can either win strongly or lose painfully. TL does not give me any winning potential. they feel like a challenger in every match, unlike a team like PRX who are like a battering ram - against them, you are not favoured to win. whereas against TL, they have some strong players but they don't scare me like PRX as a matchup would. idk if that makes sense to anyone, but that's how TL looks rn. Having said that that, i didnt expect them to lose to this version of DRX but i also didnt expect asstrella to be on the bench for this match.

let's put it this way. NA has the best fortnite player in the world, and in the top 50 best fortnite players in the world, 40 of them (at worst) are from EU. EU clears so hard in fortnite. just look at the most recent global championship, top 4 were all EU and only 2 teams in the whole top 10 were from NA, with the rest being from EU. at that point, even having peterbot can't balance that out, especially after his fraudulent performance last week. EU very clearly owns fortnite now and honestly, they were always on top in the pro fortnite scene.

well i dont have perfect pickems but its because i was "hatewatching" DRX (i was still secretly cheering for them when they played today though). my plan is that if i hatewatch them enough, they will win champions.

let's see till tomorrow. they are not good enough to make it out in uppers but they can defo win that elimination match in the lowers.

same. DRX will go out 0-2 and i will have perfect pickems for both group A and group C because EDG will lose the NRG rematch in lowers of group c.
