WE are all watching this. so much better than the real mickey mouse (kickoff)

real, I said the best thing boaster can do on stage to motivate his teammates is to shake it and people called it bait

scroll for a few hours on his twitter and you'll find it

derke himself affirmed he was kicked

he was kicked, he didn't choose to leave

0.17 is crazy, even FNS doesn't usually get ratings this low

you mean who gets to pick first map? it's always been a toss afaik
then again this is practically a grand final so yeah I think they should've gotten some sort of benefit

your only argument is that it's being hosted by the saudi government when we're literally watching and playing a game owned by the chinese government. but anyway there's no point arguing about that since we're clearly not convincing each other, there's no real reason you don't consider this an S tier event

you never make a convincing argument against anything EWC related, at this point you must know your dislike is irrational 🥱

stop having bad opinions 🥱

what does love of the game have to do with "prestige"? imo prestige is just how much you proved you're the best itw. champs is a bit more prestigious than masters because there's more teams so the winner directly proves themselves against more teams.

I watch tournaments to see the best team win not who loves the game the most 😭

regardless of how bad the qualifiers for the 3rd and 4th teams are, it has the top 2 teams of the split qualify which is the same as kickoff. unless the format of the actual tournament is HORRENDOUS, then this is at least as valuable as kickoff.

it's also pretty clear all teams that qualified will be giving it their all if only for the prize money

icebox is the only map they're getting

it's legit, I see no reason why anyone would treat this with less importance than at least kickoff

nah, s0ntinels also didn't do shit after madrid

what is wrong about what I said? the top 2 teams are going just like in kickoff the americas, emea and china qualifiers are practically the same as kickoff. pacific qualifier was bad since it's bo1 and that's about it

he was great on lan too what is this revisionism
he's had some bad games this year but the whole team was garbage

no, it's only the qualification
there's no way they're playing it on a month+ old patch

yeah with how the top 2 teams of the split qualify (+2 other teams) this shit should be considered more valuable than kickoff 💀

I mean most of the clips were players making horrible decisions which is something you can fix
fair has insane aim

do you know what "investigated" means?

I just know they were both giggling after that

!stats

so? year is not over
surely you watched shanghai, right? I don't recall seeing sen with sacy and tenz there

this core is so much better than the 2024 core wtf are you smoking
the sacy propaganda is so strong it made people think going -10 every game is normal

smartest sen fan

scaling is mostly dependent on whatever the coach says

he knows what angles are normal to hold and clear as a pro at least

even he doesn't think it looks like fair is cheating but gold vlr players will say those clips were convincing 😭

idk if "these 2 teams might also be cheating" is a good shout + he didn't show any conclusive evidence for the alleged cheating. half the times he pointed out players not clearing an angle it was completely normal, does he expect them to clear 5 angles at once? even tier 1 players will often ignore multiple angles if they have a read on where the guy is playing

probably because of how awful yay has been in the past 2 years lol
I agree yay should be placed higher but these lists always have recency bias. as seen by people placing kangkang and jawgemo in their top 10

cope, lost on your best map too despite NRG's best attempts at throwing 😹

leo was top 5 in practically every event he's played since 2022, you say he wasn't in his prime in 2024 yet he dragged fnatic to shanghai with the rest of the team under performing if anything, he was only getting better.

I don't think you understand how impressive it is to be one of the best for 2+ years straight. aspas is good but he was never indisputably the best duelist itw at a single point of time, while leo was for more than a year.

this is how we know you've never watched leo play cause there's genuinely no way you can possibly come to this conclusion otherwise

it used to be true before 2024, now I think it's significantly better than kickoff and not far off the second master

sky is blue

this is a real take honestly, well I don't think he's straight up garbage but he'd be a middling tier 1 player. on duelist he'd be one of the worst in the league

it's cause reduxx is ass

he clears half of the s0ntinels players

my emotional support makes international games a 6vs5, we're tight like that

we're winning toronto

most pros say that cause they have a few thousand brazilians sending them death threads if they don't

they know NRG clears them either way so they decided to save strats for a more winnable game

cause these are the playoffs with the last 4 teams
the previous stage didn't get broadcast for any of the regions

FNS pretty much said the whole team agreed to kick him so that ain't happening

WHY ARE YOU JUMPING WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN THERE

elite eco fragger

most loyal mibr (aspas) fan

buddy... have you even read the statement? her teammates didn't come out and say "yeah we know flor is a rapist". sarah is the only one that actually made a statement about sarah's behavior where she says she was toxic, manipulative and suicide baiting.

the combined statements just says they didn't know this and they side with the victim

comparing this to harvey winestein who had tens if not hundreds of witnesses of him directly assaulting people is crazy

I wouldn't call this team low profile honestly, it's like the mibr of NA since these are all the best rookies from tier 2 + s0m and ethan
