BO3 so G2 easily wins 2-0

I mean, I agree, but that's still an insane comparison to be making.

Are you really comparing a massive international CS final to a domestic Val glorified seeding match?

Yeah that's my bad

EU flag pussy. Shameful to rep your country or what?

Bro, this is vlr, not HLTV.

Even if VIT make an insane reverse sweep, they are NOT some ungodly team. Just like G2

He did say that he'd use it in the final at least once. He's 100% bluffing though

All good

Not the legendary Choquid please

Bren was right

Okay it's not looking here, but let's not judge off the 1st map alone.

Maybe we should be putting him #1 for Bangkok

Proof -----> Keiko

What if Keiko is just the goat?

Flashback has been DRX's 4th-5th worst player. He had 2 great 1v2 clutches against T1, but other than those, he's been rather absent for the team. Mako, free1ng, and HYUNMIN have been significantly better.

Zekken and Jawgemo barely missed the list for me. Both have had their moments, but haven't been as consistent as you'd them to be.

Meteor has been looking off on the sentinel role lately. He's looking at his best as the secondary duelist, which is strange. I wouldn't doubt him to be great at Bangkok, but I am taking recent form into consideration for this list, so he didn't quite make it.

I considered him 3rd at one point. Honestly, pretty interchangeable for 3rd-6th.

blud's delusional 💔

Honestly, iZu could be argued over Meteor in HMs, but I wouldn't put him in the Top 10. Meteor was easily the worst performing player in kick off out of everyone listed here. Also, yes, I consider mostly recent performance. Meteor is the only one there that could be argued as a more "legacy" placement.

Who's your #1 then? I'm not going to underestimate China this tournament (well, mostly just EDG)

Will probably do an updated list after all of the regional finals.

1. KangKang
2. leaf
3. Keiko
4. trent
5. trexx
6. free1ng
7. HYUNMIN
8. MaKo
9. Derke
10. Smoggy

HMs: zekken, Meteor, CHICHOO, jawgemo, Kicks

BuZz was some hot ass that series, but he came up clutch in that last round.

Liquid

Of course, the second I typed this, GenG lose an eco

This would be a monumental choke from T1. Like legit one of the biggest in Valo history maybe.

Y'all can't even sus out rage bait 😭. OP literally said he isn't even American.

Well, your bait seemed to work. And they call Americans dumb

The absolute goat map. Always delivers 🐐🐐

MELONS

Fuck that map. If Riot don't make changes as it comes back, I'll do absolutely nothing

They probably make Toronto. All good

Anderzz or doombros

Realistically, no one is putting Trace players in their top 10. They're good players, but I don't see it happening.
Edit: Alright i'll put them

I'm making this longlist to show how hard it is to actually make an accurate Top 10 players list. Will be including teams that aren't eliminated yet and can edit them out later.

...obligatory Top 10 players of Bangkok lists, because the second the TL vs. TH game is decided, mine is going up. I'm expecting a lot of them.

Just makes fighting for A rubble control a bigger pain in the ass because of his wall, double damage, and shield. Teams should definitely adopt the idea. Meteor playing the agent helps a lot, but the idea is good in general.

I HAVE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE! (No coincidence that this line comes from a Korean show)

Extremely close 3rd map that goes into multiple overtimes, with GenG pulling out the W in the end. T1 then stomps on the 4th map to win the series.

Boaster (and I think Mini? Could be wrong about that one) have said it's long covid

EXACTLY

That doesn't really apply here. Completely out of FNC's control since Leo has long-covid.

aspas for LEV

GenG used to be the king of pistols man...

Not really sure tbh. I don't think Riot ever gave a reason. Might just be as a saving cost measure.

KAY/O is an agent with a low skill floor, but a very high skill ceiling. Anyone with a brain can realistically play the agent, but the high skill ceiling comes from the insane amount of line ups you need to learn with the nade, flashes, and knife. Miniboo would have to put in some work.

Your #1 choice is interesting cause it might be my least favorite here. I really don't like quack's casting, which sucks because I think Chobra is excellent. Also sucks that Chobra is gone after kick off in Pacific.

He had the receipts ready 🤣🤣

Yes, I had to make that clear

G2 are notoriously weak in BO5s and SEN are historically strong in BO5s.You know what that means!
