LMAOOOOOOO

Sen fans that's why

What is this cope they're being completely outcalled, lucky my ass

This guy went from inter to the next fns

yap yap yap

??? Least weird vlr user

LMAOOOO

Yup for sure

I'm a SEN hater but I must admit they are looking very good, they will do much more than people expect.. unfortunately

when will we learn to not underrate chinese teams

KK is doing great, the stats dont show you the full picture. But he's doing very well as entry especially on neon. S1mon and Smoggy has been really stepping up

g2 arent... yet

Prob EDG who weren't far off or Trace ngl. But I'm cheering for all 3 either way!!

This is a perfect example of cherry picking..
"caught doping" - no conclusion was made my guy, WADA never disproved that contamination was the source of TMZ

Olivier Rabin, Wada's senior director of science and medicine, added: "The contamination scenario was further supported by the combination of the consistently low concentrations of TMZ as well as no doping pattern with several athletes presenting multiple samples collected over the course of several days which fluctuated between negative and positive [and vice versa]."

This is just part of the data that showed it was unlikely to have been doping. But sure, let's assume that it was handled badly and actually was doping - this year, 11 of the swimmers from tokyo were selected again, so tell me why all other 20 swimmers (clean record) were also under the same treatment. Your "once a cheater, always a cheater" doesn't really make sense here does it, especially since even athletes in other sports are being questioned. On average, each swimmer was tested 21 times a day compared to 6 for the US - is that not insane? This includes experiences of them being disrupted - woken up at 5-6am for tests.

Also, it's funny that in 2022 for the US, out of 6782 cases 1.2% commited doping violations - while for China out of 19228 (almost triple), only 0.2% - the same as Japan.

The US is literally 6x more likely to commit doping, yet everyone's more suspicious of China. Right, makes sense.

<3 you remember me!

Guard beats Optic in NA grand final
"No way anyone thought Guard was better than Optic"

this is G2 we're talking about, EDG looks very promising looking forward against other teams

edg was fine, just their bind is bad

It's the olympics all over again, other regions win no questions asked, China wins and everyone demands 20 dope test

S1MON HOLY SHIT
here's the real s1mon you've been waiting for

yeah I like it

He has an arm injury

I know this is a joke but JDG would lowkey probably win against SEN and a few other seed 4 teams

dude became conscious

add him to receipts rn

S1mon has incredible util usage that's why they brought him in, and very flexible too he's like the Ethan of EDG

I'm technically biased just to both of these teams they have been my longtime favs

never talk down to my rookie goats ever again

when does NRG play

EDG looked out for form before they brought S1mon in and changed IGL to nobody

EDG's Coach AfteR wanted them to adopt a fnatic-like playstyle which didn't really suit what they're used to nor did it play to their strengths, they played uncomfortably slow and all it took was to go back to a mix of what their used to and a level of discipline that they had learnt to find their identity. EDG has always had this in them

nah I should've tho

I did not expect this ngl, it's my 2 favourite teams tho so win win for me

Group A: DRX > FNC > BLG > KRU
Group B: TH > FPX > GEN > SEN
Group C: TE > LEV > VIT > TL
Group D: G2 > EDG > FUT > PRX

Imagine if I actually get the 100% title

LMAOOO SAME

Put trace and edg higher before you regret it trust me

Guess who isn't making it out of groups

Who else actually watched CN region and expected this? It ain't just me who put Trace 1st right, 100% pickems so far rahhh

NRG 12-5

You actually should fr, betting on internationally unkown chinese teams has been my version of investing in crypto when it was like 2014

EDG already proved it before as they had placed 6th at the last champs when they still had a suitable playstyle, now they are back to that.

That's the power of Chinese ecos

2-0
(I'm only saying this cause it would be extremely funny)

Trace is known as the biggest choker in CN, theres a reason this is their first international appearance

Can we stop with this EDG bad narrative they are extremely good now after their IGL and coach changes, now they have a suitable playstyle. They are very much on the same level as trace if not better

Dude killed the cypher lurk mid and knew mid would be empty, DOUBLE TPED down cat to flank A way faster than they thought he'd get there

My goat 200IQ player

Trace just has a bad sunset, especially on attack. LEV is not winning ascent..

Did they really though? FPX went toe to toe against the 2 finalists of the event, even being just one round away from beating TH iirc

Nah EDG has looked better than trace recently, they are better than you think. I do think they're better than FPX atm tho

S1mon is just nervous you haven't seen the usual him yet
