Not ideal, but if anyone should get an advantage, it should be C9 since they're in this as a higher seed than G2.

I genuinely think C9 are a tier above, even tho I'm rooting for G2.

I would love to be proven wrong though.

THIS IS IT! LFG2

viable, but dont base it on this C9W vs KRU match.

The level of play is just different, C9W could probably run 5 duelist on this map vs KRU and still run over them. It's a skill diff so far.

Maybe LAN nerves. but looks like a huge skill diff

This series looks DONEZO

mickey mouse match, don't get gassed.

Is so fucken annoying man. It's just segment, break, segment, break.

How do they plan on doing a 30 team tournament with this broadcast format. It's soul destroying.

I like soulcas, but you got me with "nats about to bulk up" comment

lmaoooo ;D. that's funny, i can't lie

Role clash with nivera of whoever is gonna play chamber

Gonna miss the jampii and screaM firepower duo.

100% on all points

Run triple duelist

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/cd4a40e6 You heard it here first.

Love Gozen to the moon and back, but I just have a feeling they're gonna get caught by suprise =[

he better get picked up by a team, one of the dopest there is in NA

You're mad

XD

You definitely don't need to stay.

BUT, be really honest with yourself about the following things if you're not sure about quitting.

What would make the job better?
Is there anything you can do to set better boundaries at work?
Have you tried getting support from the job itself?
Is the job a hellhole or is it other stuff that's having a knock on effect at work?
What would make a new job different/better?

Thoughts and condolences to him and his family. Very sad

Unbelievable. Rest In Peace.

Brainlet

Vouch

Please call correct CEO this time. Thx

Sick thread title

Yupppp. This is business baby!

What's that payroll bill looking like?

I remember that clown

Role swaps...but lmao still. Come on guys

If the roster move is true, this wouldn't surprise me.

Nivera wasn't as hot in the recent tournament I think

What did I miss, where was the actual confirmation of scream and nivera joining KC? Someone link me to the post / announcement. I'm out of the loop with this shit

Bruh, do we even know the actual rosters yet, or is everyone just putting 100% faith in unconfirmed rumours

You're pretty much correct. All name value.

And as @Valgod also said, if the NA and EMEA are similar in level (which they are, as many results proved), and NA 3rd seed got grouped, there really is no basis for people saying EMEA looks weak. It's purely clout based, which is 2 head.

You guys are going off name value.

No one expected GUILD to perform internationally and they performed well. Beating optic 2-0 and only losing to the 2 finalists.

With that said, you have very little, if any evidence to judge how these teams will perform internationally.

Ah, thanks for summary.

Agreed

What's the L? I missed alot of what's happening. What did flipz or whoever do wrong?

Guys you have to keep in mind. Invitation doesn't = acceptance.

Some teams may have rejected invites to focus on building for partnership. So if you don't see teams you expected to see, it's not that they didn't get an invite.

Who gives a fuck, this is old news. The date makes no difference.

NEXT

Some NA teams invited this time. Was in their first announcement

You say barely like it matters. Fact is they had a better year than guard because they were.....better.

Guard couldn't win LCQ. And thus didn't even earn the opportunity to make a 2nd LAN. There's actually nothing to debate here

Yes. Because on average they were the better team throughout the seasonal splits. Not rocket science, not sure what you're debating here.

If guard were overall as good as optic or XSET, they'd have made 2 LANs. They couldn't even win LCQ

I didn't say anything about trent. Why such an emotional response? Just that XSET > Guard. Get a grip

Difference is XSET performed well enough overall to actually make it to 2 LANs.

Guard only made it to 1

Online

I'm not so sure. And I love all those players

Did c9 actually officially announce yay? I never saw it

Good roster, but not as strong as with yay.

The amount of times yay alone has bailed out that team is insanity

You actually have a point lmao

It's a cool ass team, but is it a winning one?

Frick vanity, he has me blocked >:[

:O
