They're not getting Saya lmao. Have you seen his twitlonger about TGRD? He'll stay there until they kick him out, the roster gets completely changed, or he dies.

As a big guard fan, PRX deserved to win that. PRX's 2-0 vs G2 proved that it wasn't just the guard playing badly, it was that the other team is actually just fucking good. That being said, they DID play badly (including having poor fundamentals which is really rare for them). In addition, Trent was really not performing on LAN. He's super young so I'm sure he'll pick it up with more time, but that was another major difference in their play. I remember numerous times in NA quals when trent would pull off insane clutches or get super impactful kills while on Sova (dropping 280 acs average or something), but against PRX and Optic he had none of that. Just got inside his own head I'd guess.

When I hear listen to the supernova song (you'll understand if you play it), I always feel this sense of calm come over me and I stop whatever I'm doing to just take in the moment. It's such a great experience.

Sure mate

Zeta are great but I doubt Japan could field a fourth team that’s even tier 3

Where’d you get this info lol

No way someone steps down with how they've been doing

If you liked Journey, strongly recommend the Outer Wilds. It also gives that feeling of calmness and the story and puzzle solving is incredible

Seconded I fucking love that game. The outer wilds is a must play too if you like that free form exploration style.

I used to play so much btd 4

World of tanks blitz

If you want a serious answer, I’ve really enjoyed horizon forbidden west recently and I strongly recommend playing zero dawn first if you have the time.

Honestly I completely agree with everything you said. That being said, as someone who follows Olympic fencing it can be much much worse. At least the footage isn't bad, vods are released, and the casters are pretty good (Sidebren is my favorite duo I think).

PRX won me over last game I love them now

Loud
Optic
PRX
Zeta

All fantastic teams tho. I want Zeta to win but my brain says Loud will.

Absolutely Kru, they don't even get the excuse of having two subs.

Tbf they were shit in their first few matches (even the wins against fnatic and nip seemed rough and more dependent on individual play than strats). It's really only against Liquid that they started seeming incredible

There's no way OpTic win against LOUD, the best team in the world right now.

Genuinely the only teams I think that would have a chance against them would be Loud, Optic, DRX, and Zeta (Zeta's a big maybe tho, it depends on what stage of their run they're in). FPX also has a really good map pool against most other teams.

This is America

Bet Bo0mShell. I'll be there in 10 days as soon as my horse drawn carriage makes it across the atlantic.

1. Challengers kick off
2. “Will drx lose this time?”
3. End up sweeping challengers
4. “wow, theyre looking ok” or “wow, theyre looking amazing” hope they do decent internationally
5. make it to international, look good in the opening matches
6. the hype is building, international fans get excited over drx again
7. then they get to their most important matches when the hype is at their greatest
8. they lose in the worst way possible and just barely out of pressure
9. “maybe next time theyll do better” “theyll come back stronger like every time”
10. repeat, every single time since m2

Formatted it a little more readable for people

They're not perfect ofc, it's just unblievable how spot on this was.

No shit I'm just trying to provoke discussion. Although tbf I'd say he's better than bnj considering how lackluster bnj performed.

Doesn't make sense to use sScary because we only got to see him in 3 series, and he barely outperformed marved in terms of ACS and Kast (literally a difference of 2 and 1%). Mako and Sugar I will easily accept. I also think Chronicle would be better than all of them but he couldn't make it obviously.

YO WHAT THE FUCK

Didn’t G2 beat full strength M3C and Fnatic

On stream Zander mentioned he thinks there’s 4 controller players worldwide who are better than him. My guess would be Marved, Mako, Chronicle, and Nats. Anyone else has any ideas who they could be?

I actually agree with you. And I'm personally rooting for Zeta, but I think Loud has the greatest chance to win. They just have the most complete team imo.

Ngl I'm feeling a Loud win this grand final.

Obviously that's making a big impact on players from teams like M3C, Fnatic, FPX, etc. No one's arguing with that, and I'd say the vast majority of people understand how horrifying and awful it is. That being said, G2 (2nd seeded EMEA team even accounting for FPX) as a team had nothing different from playoffs, and they had no reason to underperform. Despite that they got 2-0'd by two "minor" region teams. That pretty conclusively shows that EMEA isn't head and shoulders above the other regions, and I'd say that's a good thing because it allows more diversity with teams and more exciting play.

I'm personally very excited to see M3C and FPX return in the next masters, but I also appreciate that they'll have close competition.

Looks like Optic vs Loud will be the big match. I'd favor loud the first time around tbh, but then Optic the second.

Zeta because they don't have onur and are better than Kru ever was

Listen I'm giving you all my stocks, you can invest for me. Do whatever you want; idfk if it's butt plugs or tesla, I trust your skills of prophecy.

Honestly I wish

Who voted for drx LMFAO

THAT'S IT THAT'S IT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

I can't see them beating Loud or Optic tbh since they lost against G2 so convincingly. But I'm here to cheer for them now!!

I dont' think DRX has a chance anyway. Zeta looked better on attack in all their other Split games and DRX looked weaker on attack than defense against Optic.

That is an unbelievable half AND Zeta looked so much better on attack than defense against Liquid sooooo

Not even close Zeta is fucking OWNING

HOW IS IT 10-1 HOLY SHIT

I LOVE IT

NOT THE PAINT SHELLS

Definitely nonzero. G2 is good but Loud demolished them. Do I think PRX are as good as Loud? No not at all. But I think they can definitely win if G2 get's bamboozled by SEA aggression.

7-1!!!!

Genuinely nothing against DRX, they've played incredibly, but holy shit do I want Zeta to win. Such a good underdog story!

NICEEEEEEE

I do love all of those players tho, a shame 6 man teams don't work in Valorant.
