SEN - bad roster construction, bad coaching. There's too much talent on that team to be performing this bad. Coach and org doomed this team from the start.

EG - several players that would struggle to win a split of VCL are on this team. Org hired 10 players and only 3 are good.

C9 - broke, dropped an A tier IGL and S+ tier duelist for rookies that barely even made it to challengers. Mce is saving them rn.

NRG - identity crisis, ardiis not yet fitting into the comps. I believe they will figure it out.

100T - no clue. Haven't seen them play, but this roster has the talent to be top 3 in Americas. Conclusion: hoodie org.

LMAOOOO wtf 😭

Rob moore making a trophy for his viewcounts as we speak

Idk why isn't dephh on smokes? Isn't that what he did on XSET. You can't put dephh on flex, your flex player is meant to be like zekken/victor/zellsis/penny, great second entry and aimer. He can't really do that cause he can't frag

The real adults are playing now. EG v KRU

Thinking about it and the biggest issue might be coaching

This roster is too talented to look this bad

Has to be a coaching issue

Yeah but why even get two Brazilian players with no clue about roles and team chem. It's just bad roster construction. Awful work by management considering how much NA talent was available

Because he was added way way after the roster was made and hasn't even practiced with the team yet lol

Still gonna have the same awful management

Pretty pathetic org and team

I like how some people are saying that we are PRIVILIGED and LUCKY to be part of all Tier1 events, and that Tier2/3 teams have to grind so hard to get there.

You motherfuckers don’t even know what the real GRIND is, I have been grinding whole my life to get where I am today. I have been grinding when there was no online qualifiers every 2nd week, no Tier2 events to prove yourself anywhere, no faceit or whatsoever.

Nowadays there is so many opportunities to prove yourself, so many different platforms, qualifiers and t2 events DAILY. And you still cry how hard it is to get in Tier1 event.

It's just pathetic at this point, what the hell are EG doing man

Open circuit is better for competition for everyone

Franchising better for money for 30 teams

do they even practice or have a coach or like

do anything

Need to see a full split and a masters before we decide allat

Yeah you clearly are too stupid to understand any sort of nuance.

Do you really think all guilty people get convicted?

Do you really think all innocent people get let off?

Do you not understand the complexities of sexual assault investigation and conviction?

"we should call him a rapist based on evidence provided"

Yep exactly

There's a recording of a girl saying stop and he says no

That's rape

Just cause he didn't get convicted in court doesn't make him innocent

it's always telling when a guy is pursuing a girl that is that much younger/ in a different maturity level. they know they can more easily influence/manipulate them

she handled it poorly I agree, but she is young and this is someone "famous" giving her attention. george needs to be the responsible one in that situation and not say creepy shit to someone who isn't receptive to it.

the worst part is, even if you think this one girl didn't handle it well, just look at the replies. multiple women saying they and their friends have experienced similar behavior from him after just turning 18

I know a few girls myself who have shown me screenshots of him being creepy to them, one underage (though he didn't know her age, just went off a profile picture)

you don't think he is weird and creepy and should be called out?

people love to act like turning 18 makes every interaction with an older man perfectly normal

it only makes it LEGAL not normal. how would you feel if it was a guy one year out of university dating a high school senior? there's gaps in maturity and not every case is black and white. 23 year old reporter with some internet fame and recently turned 18 girl he only knows on the internet = strange behavior. legal? sure. Strange? yes.

why is everyone saying she's "clout chasing" like anyone has launched a career by being harassed by a deadbeat niche internet celebrity

she felt weirded out by him and shared it, it helps other women know to stay away from him

look at the replies, multiple women responding they've experienced the same creepy behavior from him and know other women who have

I personally know of at least 2 girls who have been messaged by him acting like a creep

he isn't "cancelled" but people are acting like it's not good to bring it up or mention the fact that he's a weird creep

He's weird for pushing the issue knowing she's young and a fan

She also could have said no and fully rejected him at any time but the girl just turned 18 I don't expect that level of maturity from her.

Nothing ostensibly "cancellable" here but George is a creep and I know multiple other girls who've been hit on by him on Twitter

Overall: L rizz

Why do people keep saying this like he wasn't dominating LAN on jett

I do not like Doug and balla at all. They have no synergy, balla has a really weird cadence, and his analysis barely ever makes sense. Doug brings the hype sometimes but is otherwise uninteresting. My least favorite duo in tier 1 by far.

(Underrated) dust and shift for NA tier 2 are really good and deserve a shout for VCT

clearly I've struck a nerve haha sorry

this is an admission

approval isn't the same as clout

I sleep at night just fine because I don't seek validation for my own hatred and try to spread it to others. you know that's what you're doing even if you don't admit it. Look at the comments, everyone is calling you out for this strange behavior of wanting to hate so bad

look inwards

your thoughts where you encourage and justify hate, exactly

if you want to just write your thoughts make a journal

you wanted something by posting here

whyd you post on a discussion forum

just be honest with yourself

you want to hate so bad that you made a whole thread trying to get approval from strangers to justify your hatefulness and make convince them to hate too

are you okay?

We have no idea if sacy can igl

Smart to go with proven LAN players and then build around them. If they qualify to ascension they have an advantage with 3/5 of their squad being experienced on LAN compared to TGRD who were dog at masters and m80 who are question marks.

Do we know if potter is in charge of roster decisions? Many orgs have GM and coach separate

I'm so confused as to how OR and mad lions can end up in the same group.

These teams were in the same group already and one won match between the two of them

Surely they split them up right??

Shopify with vanity, DSG with yay, m80 best team already, OXG 4th place in MSI, all in the same group

Lmao. Group B is just playing for seeding while group A is gonna be a blood bath for the 4th spot

Sym and koalanoob best entries in tier 2 right now

🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Flair g2 if they beat TGRD next split

G2 lost to m80 because they had to play their two worst maps. They ban pearl and are bad on fracture. If split and lotus were in the pool (M80s worst maps) it could easily have been 3-1 or 3-2 for g2. Are we gonna ignore the ascent game and act like g2 couldn't beat m80 at all?

And that 12-8 is just speculation. Who's to say if they replayed it, g2 don't win 13-7? It's just random guessing from you lmao. Coping so hard that g2 beat your team

Lmfao they were already qualified that match, and had dapr play viper on haven, they were just trying stuff out. Tigg interview means nothing, who cares what he said? He couldn't even beat a team that g2 has never lost to to qualify. If g2 are so weak tactically how did they beat tgrd who are considered tactically strong?

Not at all, I think they clearly improved over the split in all aspects except their map pool. The 4 you mentioned have had very high peaks as the best teams in NA. V1 had a fire challengers split, qualified for LAN. shahz and dapr won a masters and several challengers after that. Not to mention that was against teams and players that are in VCT now.

Give this team time to improve their map pool. The players don't need to get better, the team does. And they will with immi and g2 infrastructure and willingness to pay for boot camps.

I respect it but I also think you're not giving g2 enough credit for what they've done in a short time + the caliber of players and coach. Shahz and dapr are champs, wippie and penny were on some very good teams, and OXY is a breakout star. This team is much more dangerous than MxM imo

Cryo, zekken, and bcj are all good and franchise worthy

That's just random speculation lmao g2 are really good and have been playing together for way less time than the guard have. They beat the guard for a reason. By the end of next split g2 will be a better team than them.

Shopify will be better than TSM and MxM. Vanity will bring a whole system not just in game calls

Oxygen are better than TSM

DSG will be better than TSM and around the level of Oxg

My hot takes

Putting g2 below MxM is just delusion lmao. They went 4-1 in groups and got second in MSI, and beat MxM twice and TGRD. Wtf have moist done to be higher ranked than g2?

At least for dsg and sr you can speculate with new players they can be better... But even that is iffy. I think g2 are solidly third best right now and could even be 1st by the end of next split. But definitely not 6th or below MxM lmfao

Personally I think they will be half a tier below the top 3, just don't believe in the steel igl and talent level besides yay personally

S tier teams: m80, g2, tgrd

A tier: moist, tsm, Oxg

B tier: old DSG, faze,

C tier: ttr, Shopify

D tier: OR, mad lions

Where do you think new DSG will stand? What about Shopify with vanity?

c9 not in the same tier as furia, lev, 100t, sen

yeah
