FNC, Liquid had international LAN competition. Please stop saying this. It's not a fluke lmao. I literally wanted FNC to win and I do believe they would've won if they'd had their actual roster? Did they? No. It's so wrong to speculate what would've happened, because guess what, it didn't happen.

All of these agents are at least viable on breeze, admittedly viper may be better but its not a horrible comp. Omen is actually good if we don’t talk about A site ?XD

I think double controller is far too niche + if anything kayo and sova should be played in conjunction as they really have different roles. Viper or astra could perhaps replace Omen but I think you can’t choose brimstone just because of him being unplayable on Haven.

cringe

"shit on" not really (I picked them to win) but this changes nothing about the fact that the format used in NA is better

crazy almost as if teams change and develop in over 2 months? acend isn't t2?

guys never seen an Edgar Wright film

If you removed the vandal, op, phantom, ghost, frenzy, spectre then PRX would be bad..... such bots smh

no

if you're the "OG" then clearly the average IQ of players has gone up massively since then

Its in my pick’ems….

No they have been employing some rly nice strategy recently (who is coaching them atm, anyone know??) but yeah M3C weren’t tilted so much that their synergy is fucked probs because of the stresses of living in Russia rn…

Are you unaware of the fact that teams are capable of changing and playing better on certain days? How is this luck? ???

why is this downvoted lol literally asking a question

yeah maybe or just that I just dislike apartheid states

We need a 2-1 win so m3c go through to playoffs!!!!!!

bump :D

well evidently the objective of corporations is to make money so inherently outsourcing doesn't really work... different industry but our train service is in a mess because of subsidisation. raised taxes doesn't matter if QoL is improved + higher wages and productivity which is what would happen if healthcare was readily accessible.

🥵AvovA🥵

(: ok

guy has an israel flag XD

think it's wrong to speculate but it looks they probably will :D

I love it when people pretend the game hasn't progressed and teams haven't changed since the last tournament. I swear every post you make is utterly braindead

oh sorry

🦧 🦧 🦧 🦧 🦧 🦧 🦧 🦧

They could honestly improve matchmaking to make it a higher level to queue comp or make comp waiting times slightly longer at the benefit of having people that are actually in your rank....

eh? how am I going off rumours?

I'm not flaming them at all, I totally agree with you.

they play very different though. fnc have a thick protocol of how to play for each individual player and pretty much a memorised game plan a lot of the time, sentinels play far more loosely.

Clearly you don't have eyes... the util efficiency from FNC is bizarre. Literally one mid play is enough to show you this on split. They figured out the perfect fade and raze util to clear mid AND render it unpushable for a long time on the attack. Every operator adjustment FOKUS tried they failed (resulting in that hilarious collat derke got). This is but a single example, but you can see how good their midrounding is by pretty much every play they make. The people they are playing have just as good aim as some of them.

(by "what an igl" I assume you're being sarcasting if not sorry for flaming lol)

yep lol

Well yeah you have to preload your driver before vgc starts, which is pretty hard. Even if you load it iirc they have far better kernel protection than EAC which fortnite uses. I think vgc prevents APC manipulation which is pretty much the staple of most kernel-based injectors. The few extra steps are not very easy at all

the render performance is honestly so much better, you'll probably have to reinstall RSMB etc but yeah, I made the switch and it was definitely worth it. CTRL + K is definitely your friend (shortcut to clip/scissor) whilst moving

It's hard as hell as vgc blocks most methods to load unsigned kernel drivers (cus it starts on boot and because they actually search for sigs unlike others cough BattlEye) + has all the good usual hooks and more that most commercial acs such as BE and EAC have. It's pretty much impossible to inject without doing some nutty boot shit or using some custom hypervisor. Externals do exist, but are seriously limited.

don't use vegas lol use resolve or premiere pro

It is sad because it's not like they don't try. Crazy, apparently you know more about them than they do? This narrative is getting ridiculous; regardless of who you support, it's sad to see a team fall so far from the top, to actually looking at not being able to play ever again, let alone this season.

Don't think guard will make it

no

i love this guy

fnatic 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

I don't think they do guy

Derke is actually very good with Raze. You don't need to make flashy blast pack plays to be necessarily good at the agent. The bulk of it is generally good timing and understanding of the nades and boombot which derke does perfectly. D3ff0, however much people criticise him, is also not necessarily "bad" at Raze, evidently he's not the best at it but to say it's unique to have proficiency in the character is so wrong.

"There's a big difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser" facepalm. You make it sound like playing jett is a selfish and unfair thing to do, which again is so wrong. This whole mentality that Jett isn't supposed to be like this annoys me, as without jett on a large amount of maps would not be pushable against any competent roster. Even Raze doesn't really have the same effect Jett has. I don't get how this is "abusing" a character by simply playing the meta?

You're also comparing matches across regions etc so I don't think those stats really speak for much.

Raze players also aren't necessarily always "duelist" players. There's not really such thing as an only duelist player anymore, you're kinda stuck in beta. Most players such as the ones you mentioned play a variety of roles: there was an initiator + raze kinda class for a long time etc, all of which you are entirely ignoring.

If you're referring only to jett, duelist players don't need to play raze as they can play chamber and get your xeppaa or whoeever to play raze.

Realistically I don't think you can put any team above the current international until they play (or fail to qualify) for an international level again. I think FNC are rly good right now and I do think they will win the next masters. But these assumptions are so flawed empirically speaking, it's just genuine fact that optic are the best internationally because they won the latest international event. You can make all the excuses for EU you like (for the most part I agree with), but based on actual concrete evidence it's definitely optic.

I haven't seen so much hate directed to a single team since a long time...

I like Liquid but sadly no

yeah supporting a team means you don't have a moral compass totally

props for admitting that :D

That's still an alright performance but without steel's evidential contribution to the teams ideas they clearly aren't world class. It's literally logical to induce that considering they haven't made any world class events, they are missing a world-class igl and that was him. A world-class igl does not mean the best in the world, it means capable of competing at a world level, which steel evidently did, taking down arguably two of the most influential and dominating teams in one tournament.

it was double elimination so they lost to rise and cloud9 iirc. the point is they weren't up to date and yes the synergy was broken, you just admitted my point lol in your last line.
