That’s patently false in the early stages of any esport. Perhaps in 5 years it’ll solidify a bit, but rn it’s anyones game.

Good shit. Love from NA <3

I agree with you. Only question is whether tgrd will perform well on lan with so little experience.

Yeah but they lost a bunch more full buys. Strategically loud whooped their ass and it was only because of some hero plays from Jamppi, Scream, and Nivera that it was close at all. Liquid won so many ecos and pistols and not much else.

We haven’t seen guard play on lan yet!!

Guard has a good map pool against them plus they’re ballers.

DRX 2-0
Guard 2-1 (could be 2-1 the other way bc lan exp tho)

Saadhak isn't hitting but looks like everyone else is

These rounds are so damn close but I feel like Loud is beating liquid tactically

Cause he was the best player at the last iceland international

I would think the latter more. But I don't think they'll be as good as Guard tbh.

My dude...

I def agree with you, but when they were signed they were pretty unproven. 100T new roster is similar, although I personally don't think they'll become as good as the Guard as fast.

Ok tbf I don’t think any of those new players are quite as good as Cryo/Zander, but I trust sgares to mold them into a good team

Damn didn’t optic lose to the guard (unproven talent)

Honestly just looking at how they're playing they did improve a SHIT ton. That being said, G2 are not hitting like they did in EMEA playoffs.

Yeah it was 3-2 PRX. But considering Xerxia had a super close match vs TL, and beat optic the first time, I think PRX might be able to beat someone. Too bad DRX is their first match tho.

PRX beat xerxia tho, they're pretty damn good.

I like you

LETS GO ZETA

The guard know how to maintain good publicity. Signing sinatraa is not that.

Laz is great but this is straight cappppp

I don't think we can say this until after playoffs. All three of those players played insane but their teams also won. Who knows if Optic will be able to make it all the way

Mb somehow missed the top 8 part of this

I want to see any team vs DRX/Loud. I'm also excited to see TGRD vs any international team.

I'm sorry but that drx is straight copium. We can't favor them over G2 until we see them play a top tier team.

I respect the copium but nah

G2 crushed TL.... Also where's Xerxia???

They're actually not looking bad! Too bad whoever wins this is gonna get flattened by G2 tho :(

7/8 I like it

Like I said, when victor pops off, optic wins. Yay can't always solo carry.

Sooo what did I say???

No he's talking about the much more popular football team

No literally all of his other videos too. He almost never focuses on the mistakes from any other regions and you can't possibly tell me that JP and Brazil (excepting Loud maybe) are cleaner than NA.

Lower bracket for a reason man

Whatever you think about Sinatraa and his return to pro play, I strongly recommend reading his ex gf’s statement about it. Even if you don’t trust her, it’s good to at least see her perspective. Here’s the link:

Be informed and make the right decisions please.

Nah this dude literally only points out mistakes in NA. Sure there’s a decent amount of them and NA valo is nowhere near close to perfect but he nitpicks so much for no reason.

I’m about to do the same this place isn’t good for my mental stability. If any nice ppl who aren’t trolling wanna talk about the matches, drop your discords! I love talking about this stuff but I hate this site.

So did those three ppl predict optic to choke and then resurge or were they just throwing darts?

This’ll prove whether Xerxia is def better or if they’re equal. I’m hoping for a super close match :)

.

Loud and DRX are good darkhorses but yeah I’d say G2 is now def the favorite and has shown the best play out of every team.

Honestly just only buy sheriffs at this point

So much mess

V1 and C9 were looking pretty great until they weren't

Yeah true. Liquid did some weird shit in emea playoffs but they seem better now.

Have you not seen trembo around here?

A rare thinking Sen fan. I agree completely.

He helped Optic pic up Yay and Marved, then worked with them when they got 2nd at berlin. That's pretty worthy of notice I'd say.

Don't even know him but firstly: you suck. Secondly: ratio
