Biased towards duelists heavy
Like cmon where's your creativity
Yes he is bro, did you learn nothing from last year?
we know where this one is going
(KC 3-1 TH, GenG 3-1 PRX, EDG 3-1 FPX)
Bro they played with pancada last year. He's a goat player, but it just didn't work out. Get pancada on Loud or Furia or something STAT
The regular season in EMEA, Americas, and APAC are all dominated by non madrid teams, leading to peple forever calling the tournament a micky mouse tourney, despite being as prestigious as any.
Like in EMEA, where TH and KC played the first game of kickoff and last in Grand Finals, so will SEN and Loud play first in Americas and rematch in the grand finals
Nerves are hard to deal with, but with experience they’ll lessen. I’m not worried long term
ENGH, mCe, Chet, Potter, Mini are the coaches I believe in the most
You’re insane she’s a top 3 coach worldwide with ENGH and Chet
Nah bc if they beat loud here, it’ll be because of insane anti strating, which won’t work against teams like GenG or TH, who will just run over them. It’ll be an individuals diff. I respect a lot of the EG players, esp Supamen, and Jawg is a genuine superstar, but that’s not enough against the other Madrid teams.
I’d say EG could beat FPX or an off form EDG/GenG, but that’s probably it imo.
Frankly I’d be shocked if they played as badly as they did against Furia and C9. They’ve had a lot of time to prep, and the individual ability of all of these players cannot be overstated.
I’d say they’re likely to if they win here. This is for two reasons: 1. Loud has gotten where they are partly by innovating new comps that haven’t been figured out yet (gave them an advantage over sentinels on ascent). 2. If NRG beats SEN, they surely show much better form and strategic depth than we’ve seen previously as SEN are no pushover.
Combining those two, we see that once Loud’s comps are shown deep in Madrid, they will be easier to beat than in this kickoff (not easy tho, they’re still an insane team). Plus NRG must be living up to their players’ talent, and an NRG at full potential is a tournament winning roster. Thus I favor NRG to win Madrid. KC, Heretics, an in form GenG (they just win every aim duel and clutch), are all extremely strong teams though.
What are you talking about 💀
Fuck that guy where tf did scream and nivera go?? Surely they could dominate t2 emea
If Loud win, they get 2nd place at Madrid
If EG win, they go out first at Madrid
If Sen win, they get 4th place at least at Madrid
If NRG win, they win the tournament
Pancada will make any brazil team better rn (yes loud too), too bad he's benchridden
Both TH and KC are looking insane, genuinely scared for the other regions at Madrid. So excited to see them all clash though!
Mostly it was strategic, but marteen and narrate definitely pulled some crazy rounds with aim diffs
They’re aim doffing the team that aim diffed Leo, Alfajer, derke, and Chronicle.
That’s for the Statue of Liberty babyyyy
They had all the momentum, this is looking almost done.
what he said
...also deffo
You're the stats andy mr alt-acc-bc-I'm-too-scared-to-say-stuff-on-main
Nah honestly I respect this scoreline bc he went positive in first kills/deaths. He wiffed a bit, but honestly didn't play his role badly. KC's just too good rn
It’s not bandwagoning to choose a team at Madrid to support, it IS bandwagoning to switch if they lose at that tournament
They look really really good, honestly a chance they beat fnatic in the grand final
I've been saying this for years. Literally had that whole thread about how calling pros frauds and shittalking teams is not only stupid, but also really harmful if you want said team or pro to perform well.
Bro thinks there’s a lower bracket 💀
Obviously you are unaware of EG
There's no reason why you CAN'T strictly IGL from duelist, just most ppl prefer to do it on something where you don't have to be locked in on your aim all the time
Gotta be Aspas
Does he have an 86% deathmatch winrate?
You could also see Ethan Skye, Vic raze, point is they have the tools and it seems absurd to me that they wouldn’t put some effort into that map
Even if SEN is the better team (which is debatable), everyone has to admit that NRG is heavily favored in this series.
Consider maps,
NRG has shown Breeze, Ascent, Sunset all of which they won without showing anything deep strategically. They've banned Bind twice, but likely have something prepped on that map as well.
SEN has shown nearly everything on Split, Ascent, Bind, Lotus, Breeze, and Sunset. They've so far permabanned Icebox.
Ascent and Breeze, the maps that NRG has picked into, were also the two maps that SEN has looked the worst on.
Assuming NRG bans Split, by far SEN's best map, they should be incredibly favored on every other map in the pool. It will be very VERY hard for SEN to win this match, but it's not impossible.
I'm guessing map picks and bans will go like:
SEN bans Icebox
NRG bans Split
SEN picks Sunset
NRG picks Breeze
SEN bans Ascent
NRG bans Lotus
Bind remains
