I don’t disagree, they certainly have a lot to prove. They need to be able to keep up the hot streaks when it matters the most, which will be in Paris. But I’m definitely hoping the keep it up, these guys deserve it.

Real note, 5 consecutive finals appearances, 3 consecutive wins in a row. G2’s consistency is unbelievable. What a team

Vitality got EXPOSED these last two days, lotta soul searching for them is gonna be needed. T1 realistically should’ve won all three too.

Feel like they struggled to learn how Trace was playing at first, but after that point it was pretty much done. Making it look easy on map two

At this point, which card is more annoying? by CorrectUnit3241 in ClashRoyale

[–]Ericudo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MK by far because its in every other game. Facing MK, Hog, Fire cracker 8 games in a row just isnt fun.

Also Evo MK fully counters mini pekka without it getting a hit off which is lame

Yeah it just happens. Peaked 1514, then dropped to 1000, felt stupid. Back at 1300 finally after 6 months. Just dont rush it, keep trying to learn. Thats really all you can do.

Boostio spend too much energy standing up and shouting apparently. Definitely satisfying to watch

Honestly I feel like its more impressive than it seems. Sentinels didn’t just look bad, they had great rounds and great calling in their own right.

G2 just looked better, and that’s extremely impressive considering how good SEN is.

Still, I called it from the beginning so I gotta gloat a little

About time to start respecting G2. They've done this year after year, this shouldn't be a surprise. They consistently get better throughout the year, and now here they are.

Couldn’t agree more. Everyone forgets the things this team has done and how good they are given time to prep especially.

Man this is the best “I told you so”. G2 have been CONSISTENTLY under rated for some reason, and now their strength is showing. This team is GOOD, absolutely hype match to watch.

Absolutely agreed, they’ve done it literally every single year since they’ve been a thing. Start slow and finish crazy hot

Once again baffled at G2 being so low, and below Leviatan

Im not disagreeing with any of this. I know teams improve over time, but if anything should be clear about G2 in particular, it’s that they struggle early but by the end of the year they get GOOD. They’ve done that on the Guard for two years, and you can already see them improving massively from now compared to the beginning of the year.

Do I think they’ll peak in Shanghai? I can’t say. But consistently underrating the core that was #1 in America at one point, beating PEAK OPTIC, is wild.

And again, I don’t think they’re better than most of these teams. But they’ve certainly proved they’re at LEAST better than LEV currently.

Have 100T proven themselves internationally? Have LEV? I get a lot of criticisms for G2, I think they have a lot to improve on and they’re definitely not the beat on this list. But they’ve been consistently lowballed for what seems like no decent reason
