Not a fluke, they just didn't adapt fast enough to the meta changes for stage 2 which led them losing the first two games. Then they lost very closely (I mean literally a 2 round difference) to NRG and XSET who were in the lower finals of NA (XSET won the whole thing). So far in LCQ they've looked a lot more figured out, but have had some issues with overpeaking and throwing some rounds. If they polish that out, they are definitely a contender to win.
Yeah I’d say the only other soon to be free agent igl worth looking at is Zander but he doesn’t work roles wise.
Bro was dragging M3C all of stage 2 and you call that “falling off”
Exactly. Bdog would be an insane pickup for them afterwards. I think every other part of the roster is top tier tbh. Derrek, Asuna, and Bang are all contenders for top players in their roles in NA, and there's not really someone else who could replace Stellar rn. Unless you want Mocking...
You might just have a nerve problem (not nerves, like physical nerve) in which case there's kind of nothing you can do. But enjoy playing games anyway!!

I'm right
I'm telling you this pickem is the truth:

I think they’ll work out the kinds (and maybe stop overpeaking). Being able to win on icebox after throwing a 12-9 lead has restored my faith in their mental. They would’ve been a dead team if they lost that but they didn’t lose.
Trent on smokes is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard
I’m saying it here first. They’ll probably lose once but not twice. If they clean up some of their throws (like on breeze and the end of icebox), they can definitely be a top tier team. Against SEN they didn’t even have Saya playing as well as we know he can.
Sorry but guard is winning no cap
Shao should be first imo. He won 21 clutches at masters and was a key reason FPX made it out of groups. Other than that good list.
They’re my fav worldwide tbh
I think they’re more likely to beat SR, but that’s still unlikely
Guard tbh threw a lot, but SEN did look wayyy better than they have all year. Still think they're going out in 2 but that's just because LCQ is stacked.
This is really cool!! I'd definitely want to see more of them if you have the time :)
He's literally the reason they won the first map. Got 4 3ks and one critical clutch.
SEN literally won every clutch (7 of them), and both pistols in the last map. If anything, Guard deserved to win even cleaner but they threw a bit.
Ah yes when someone feeds, another player kills them. Thank you for that hard hitting analysis!
Thank you! Also I hate TSM, and TGRD is the only team to win a region less than a month after being formed (very average ik).
TRENT IS AVERAGE???? Bro WHAT. He was +22 over two maps.
Nah they were trying stuff out. Come back after they win LCQ ok?
Guard just threw a lot tbh, they didn't win a single clutch.
NOT MINE THO YALL STAY SAFE
Tbh if you consider that TGRD lost EVERY clutch (7 rounds), and threw a few more, they definitely have a lot of room to grow as a team, and still have a good chance of winning.
Trent for sure he's better than he was in stage 1 tbh
It was an insane match, ggs to everyone
Absolute cap they played really well and Shroud had two pivotal 4ks. Don't go off stats you moron.
I'm not gonna forget that 126 ppl downvoted the guy who said Guard 2-1 LMFAO
Bren + Sideshow are even better
Trent is 17-0 against shroud over 2 maps...
You don't come on VLR often huh. I've been here since stage 1.
They lost ONE MAP in OT bc they threw two rounds. That is not a damnation of the entire team lmaooo
Both are playing good but Guard would've won if they hadn't thrown 2 rounds. Trent is def back
