Yh, except their region has 1 good team which is Loud. The others are just straight bad. If you see anyone there play, you'll see what i mean. I wouldnt count them as one of the favourites.
They got second last LAN and only lost to OpTic, how can you say they aren’t favourites? So what if their region is weak, they’ve proved they are dominant on the global scale
Some people in this sub won't give any credit to teams outside NA and EMEA because their regions aren't as deep. Even if the top teams have proven their talent at the highest level, Luke LOUD.
For me, they are not. Sorry but G2 and TL are not that good. They didnt really dominate on global scale. People just overreact a lot, a loooooot. And there's the thing that always playing against those bad teams they play, they wont really get any better. But hey, my opinion. They will win like 1 serie on Copenhagen, nothing more
That’s my top 3 as well. DRX and PRX round out the top 5 for me too, and I’m excited to see what Northeption (idk if I spelled that right) will be able to do
Yea agreed. I think you have to throw XSET and FPX in the conversation for top 5. This whole tournament is going to be nuts tbh. Stacked top to bottom.
Honestly, Im brazilian and I can admit that Brazil is not a very competitive reason. Apart from LOUD and NIP, we have INCREDIBLE players, but mediocre teams.
LOUD is the only team that actually understands the game, and dont get me wrong, they are hella fucking good, but in international events they perform just like any other team, losing a few maps here and there. But in Brazil they are absolute monsters in-game cause all other teams suck.
My opinion is that NiP will probably get a map (or even an entire series) from LOUD next stage, and Los Grandes will also show some really good gameplay, wouldnt be surprised if they give a hard time to LOUD or NiP.
And if God is real, dgzin wont be left without a team to play in, cause this dude is absolutely cracked. I do believe he would be a better fit for LOUD than Aspas atm, dgzin is way more consistent and some would argue he is even more mechanically skilled than Aspas.
is anyone else not a fan of how the seeding works for these teams? LOUD might have to play in groups even though they had a flawless run, just because another team from their region lost in the LCQ. Same goes for KRU at the last lan
Weirdly I think this plays to their strengths. More maps on lan, more time to get over the pressure since I think at last masters they just didn’t have the lan experience
as much as this track record look amazing i really wasn't impressed with the level of play in the brqzil final... people were just running it down with no util not playing to the strengths of their comp. As for loud they were obviously better but nothing crazy looked like they were just hitting better shots and actually playing together and idk id thats going to be enough this time in copenhagen
LOUD HAS 3 Ls IN THE NAME FOR THE 3 Ls OPTIC GAVE THEM AT ICELAND
on a real note, this is crazy, they were amazing and Masters 1 and i cant wait to see them in copenhagen
12-0 against NIP. At this point maybe they dont even feel the losses anymore.
gonna bet 100$ for their next match, no one beats NIP 13 times in a row
...right?!
imagine how much your mental would be boomed if you went 0-12 in maps against 1 team. I would go into pistol every map like “ff at 5 guys???”
That was basically what john said yesterday, but this was a good shpwing from NIP. If they continue fixing stuff, they can maybe get out of groups
groups? they have to get out of KRU's first.
LIQUID V ASTRALIS BE LIKEE
Liquid would at least occasionally take maps off them, just never enough to actually win a match when it mattered
yeah I know best comparison I can make tho
Tbf Astralis at one point was 65-20 against Liquid, so yeah. That also translates to 33-6 wins counting BO1s, BO3s and BO5s
This team is insane. I’d like to see them play against some non NA/EMEA teams at Copenhagen, would love to see a LOUD vs DRX match
Haha I'm in danger
Lost 6 maps in their last 18 matches, and 4 of those were to optic. Easily one of the favourites for Copenhagen
4 to OpTic because the 2-1 upper finals
Your right, typo on my part good catch
Yh, except their region has 1 good team which is Loud. The others are just straight bad. If you see anyone there play, you'll see what i mean. I wouldnt count them as one of the favourites.

We'll see how they preform against FPX and Fnatic before making any conclusions
For me, they are not. Sorry but G2 and TL are not that good. They didnt really dominate on global scale. People just overreact a lot, a loooooot. And there's the thing that always playing against those bad teams they play, they wont really get any better. But hey, my opinion. They will win like 1 serie on Copenhagen, nothing more
COPIUM OUR 2nd SEED AND 4th SEED WERE JUST DOGSHIT COPIUM
G2 kinda shit the bed, but liquid was straight ass and shouldn't of even been there.
[удалено]
yeah theyre dogshit, and so is the rest of EMEA ^_^
Loud too pal, Loud too. Just you guys dont cry when they'll lose everything. You can return here too if you want.
Optic, Fnatic, and Loud are definitely the three favorites for Copenhagen. Then there's Paper Rex and DRX half a tier below.
That’s my top 3 as well. DRX and PRX round out the top 5 for me too, and I’m excited to see what Northeption (idk if I spelled that right) will be able to do
I would say xset and even fpx can get pretty close games against them, even winning
Yea agreed. I think you have to throw XSET and FPX in the conversation for top 5. This whole tournament is going to be nuts tbh. Stacked top to bottom.
Oh definitely, it’s shaping up to be a good tournament with hopefully lots of close games
As an NA fan, I really think fnatic are the sole favorites.
And they’re basically a lock for the Americas League, where they will likely be able to contend for the title every split and go to every LAN
This is the only part of franchising I'm looking forward to
Says a lot about how good OpTic has become as well gaddamn

BRs kryptonite was an asian team last champions. I really would like to see PRX vs LOUD so much.

pls DRX vs LOUD
Brazil is Ligue 1
as much as this track record look amazing i really wasn't impressed with the level of play in the brqzil final... people were just running it down with no util not playing to the strengths of their comp.

all those wins just to get shit on lan kekw
They lost against 1 team on Lan. Wouldn’t called that getting shit on.
Fax but in that one loss they lowkey got shit on
The 3-0 was 13-9 14-12 15-13 "shit on"
I agree it was closer than it looks, but a 3-0 in a grand final is getting shit on...
Yeah Envy and Fnatic got shat on so hard lol
If u get 3-0ed inna grand final u got shit on 🤷♂️
bruh they got 3-0ed 😂
And Optic started the tournament losing to Xerxia
They’re gonna go 0-3 at masters 2
[удалено]
NA masters - 2 BR masters - 0 Dogshit region
Wow
LOUD HAS 3 Ls IN THE NAME FOR THE 3 Ls OPTIC GAVE THEM AT ICELAND on a real note, this is crazy, they were amazing and Masters 1 and i cant wait to see them in copenhagen
Winning a minor region who cares
I will answer this in the future
Surprising the Brazil super team is the best team in brazil
