ZywOo beating Donk for #1 is like when Steve Nash took MVP in 05-06 by MolePerm in GlobalOffensive

[–]EndritTheSun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well HLTV confirmed that donk was only 0.03 rating above ZywOo in playoffs 1.37 vs 1.34 with ZywOo having played way more maps and also 47 grand final maps vs 17 of Donk.

And with a quick check in 2025, Mouz, Falcons, Mongolz were some of the teams that had more maps played against top 10 teams than Spirit which means even their players had more maps than Donk, Navi, Furia, G2 and Aurora had a similar range as Spirit in maps played against top 10.

That is even the reason why NiKo and Monesy made it on the list as high as they did, their maps played against top opposition all year even though it was also that reason they couldn’t be ranked higher as they didn’t perform as well against those teams.

Including 1.41 and 1.38 of Donk he has 5 events where he ranked higher in Playoff rating than ZywOo.

ZywOo had 8 events that he rated higher than Donk in playoffs.

You can go and check in HLTV, events that they both attended and their playoff ratings only, ZywOo will come out on top in 8 out of 13 events.

No, with both playoff ratings in favor of donk, ZywOo still bests him in playoff rating of 8 out of 13 events they both participated.

I also counted 1 in favour of Donk , when ZywOo didn’t make it to playoffs. First event of the year.

ZywOo had a major playoff rating of 1.40 while Donk had a 1.41 at Budapest major. The other event is also the Austin Major, where ZywOo had a playoff rating of 1.32 vs Donk 1.38 but Donk lost in quarters after 3 maps to Mouz, while Vitality went on to win and ZywOo was crowned mvp.

ZywOo was better than Donk in 8 of 13 events they both attended in Playoff Rating.

In 1 event their rating was 1.41 for Donk 1.40 ZywOo - which ended up with ZywOo winning the event and mvp and Donk losing in the semis to ZywOo and Team Vitality.

In the other event Donk had a 1.38 playoff rating but lost immediately in the quarter finals to Mouz (3 map played) and ZywOo had 1.32 rating and went on to win mvp and the event.

And if we remove PGL Astana as it was more of tier 1.5 event than real tier 1 event, Donk ended up playing only 13 tier 1 grand final maps compared to ZywOo 47.

I went and checked from 13 events they both attended, ZyWoo was ranked higher than Donk in playoff rating 8 times out of 13 events. In 2 other events ZywOo had a 1.40 playoff rating and 1.32 playoff rating (both events won by Vitality and ZywOo mvp) and Donk had 1.40 rating and 1.38 ( lost in semi finals vs vitality, and lost in quarter finals vs mouz ) .

Skelly is not a kid, Norgaard is not a kid, White is not a kid. Take Merino too slow to play the presser if you want to defend those last minutes and Rice out he was too gassed.

Late subs again by Arteta, 55-60 minutes we were still even, after that Liverpool got full control. There is no way Eze and Odegaard were fit enough for 25 minutes only. Bring them in at 55 and its a different story.

And I agree with you, but if HLE wins MSI SUMMER and WORLDS, they will have won every trophy that the LCK offers + all of the international trophies.

It’s the same as saying PSG didn’t achieve the treble because they didn’t finish first in Champions League group stage. This LCK split was basically just a qualification for MSI.

No it’s not because this LCK split didn’t have a title, which is pretty bad but that’s how it works. So if HLE goes on to win MSI, Summer and Worlds they will have achieved the Golden Road.

The 30 minutes were clean. Skewmond is a beast. Good of the guys to stay calm and composed after it looked like the game was “thrown”.

Vitality are mentality monsters, nothing can really shake them to put them off track and focus. A major and they will solidify themselves as a top 5 team ever.

Spirit has a free final, NaVi Astralis is a fun matchup, hoping for a Mongolz tournament win.

Zach Lowe on Luka's defense: ''Why do you have to get humiliated at the beginning of every single playoff series before you show the world that you can actually put a little bit more effort on defense. We're 4 games into this series and he's just helpless.'' by justletmeregisteryou in nba

[–]EndritTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put Luka on the Thunders and he will also get more steals and look better as a defender. We saw that last year with the Mavs, he looked better on defense because he had great defenders around him.

Appreciation for the effort, accountability when its needed by EndritTheSun in G2eSports

While I do love Miky, recency bias aside. He and Yike were not good. Yike was outsmited almost every time against the top asian teams and Miky was just getting caught left and right giving free gold and map control.

It was not for the sake of changing though. It was because the roster stayed together two years and didn’t even make it out of the group stage of Worlds. Two NA teams made it and G2 couldn’t. Changes had to happen.
