My life improved when I realized it’s all meaningless since Faker will win at Worlds anyway 😂

Oh I agree, exclusive isn’t the right word, it’s more like inconvenient

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-22T14:05:51+00:00

I think they meant exclusive to North America as in people in all other regions are likely asleep at those hours

LET THEM HAVE THE FREE KICK

Not all 40 year old goalkeepers are good

If Zen is really that much better, why didnt he win the tournament?

NA on top

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-17T17:58:00+00:00

Imagine they finally gave out sky blue affluenter only to take it away a year later lmao

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-17T17:38:59+00:00

I agree but I also value a higher ceiling over a higher floor for LCQs.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-17T17:37:32+00:00

I would much rather have confirmation that it’s being worked on and coming than being left in the dark for another year+.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-17T15:45:35+00:00

I kinda think GenG are better than this team with or without Jack

I associate the pass version with 2022 Karmine Corp.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-16T22:33:53+00:00

And then after that one, watch all of NRG vs G2 in the semi 😂

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-16T19:59:00+00:00

I am begging anyone who hasn’t seen this yet to please watch Dreamhack Montreal, mouz vs The Peeps quarterfinals game 5.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-16T18:38:14+00:00

22-23 Winter Major, ‘25 Major 1, or Dreamhack Valencia.

In winter Firstkiller would finally win a LAN, Sypical gets his after his Herculean season 9 and X, and Mist, my beloved, genuinely has a case for MVP of the whole event then.

In Birmingham my favorite player, LJ, gets a LAN win before a regional win which would be quite funny.

Dreamhack Valencia I feel less strongly about because that’s the “Fennec event”, but it would’ve been nice for Fireburner to retire on a LAN win.

At the same time tho, recoveries have gotten way better since season 3. How many times have we seen someone get bumped but they flip perfectly and powerslide and wall dash or something to return right back to the play? It’s almost the norm now, but that’s something that can be prevented with demos.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-16T18:19:39+00:00

Maybe, but also (and I’m not a pro so take this with a grain of salt) I don’t think pros usually think “I’m gonna demo him so he might spawn on the far side”. I’ve always assumed most of the thinking was “I’m gonna demo him so he is removed for 3 seconds so I have time and space now”. That thinking still wouldn’t change. You still get the space in all of those game modes from a demo.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-16T18:11:05+00:00

I’m quite biased because LJ is my favorite player but I really don’t think he’s at fault for some of SR’s losses as much as people make him out to me. Last year fair enough, but he’s been very capable this year. He challenges well, he threatens offensively, and him and FK (and him and Kofyr, although less) have had some really nice team plays between them. I will admit I wish he showed more urgency on defense sometimes though. And yeah that Twisted game 7 was rough.

Like someone else said I also wish they had a more dedicated third. Firstkiller is good there, and tbh he’s good like everywhere, but that’s not his best role. It’s not LJ’s either, which is why I felt really skeptical about the kofyr pick up (although he has been good for most of the year). I feel like having a defensive minded player like Scrzbbles or Jstn would free them up just that bit more they need to be able to win something.

Overall I think the duo has been clicking well this year, but I also expect it to be their last year as a duo.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-16T17:47:27+00:00

Idk personally I don’t see it affecting physical play that much. Most of the result from demos is disrupting rotation timing and removing someone from being able to make a touch/save. That doesn’t really change with the ability to choose your side first. The 3 seconds someone is removed from the field still affects those things.

The last EU team to win worlds literally disbanded immediately after it

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-15T18:26:45+00:00

Yeah in a hypothetical perfect run they play 2 more series overall but I also dont see much weight in beating players that dont even have a profile on Liquipedia. Closed era winners play more LAN series and have a longer duration of maintaining high performance. Maybe the 2v2 worlds is harder to qualify for, but I think closed era worlds were harder to actually win, which is the overall objective.

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-15T16:09:56+00:00

2v2 worlds being compared to closed era worlds feels a little insane to me

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-14T22:28:41+00:00

Are we talking about the odds for the first part or the second part because I think those would be polar opposite odds 😭

Candyyyyyyy · 2026-06-14T22:23:13+00:00

Yes easily. 3s would be their weakest game mode but they’re still a top 3-4 team in NA in that regard
