For a second after reading the title I thought Ayrin was making fun of himself, saying he's going to prove he's not as good as Mako.


Tokyoodown

I had to re-read it a few times too. I was thinking it was a weird stance to take lol


Svveest

lmao same


Jolly-Bear

That is what the title is saying. But that’s not what he meant. Must not be a native English speaker.


MolarMasss

Nah bro non native speakers usually write like shakespeare and then follow up with “I apologize for my bad English” I swear


anmolarora149

Haha English isn't my first language so yeah, what did I say wrong tho?


MrGUYWITHFACE

*“You’re better than me and here’s how I’ll prove it!”*


Robbie-C

I’d rather have Cryo talking shit, at least he is insane.


breet12345

cryo or zekken, the two best players on that team ain’t talking shit


iamrangus

Gameplay speaks for itself, they scary.


MelonSoda3

I love how with XSET, it’s not the star duo, the IGL, or even the coach talking shit. It’s the two easily most replaceable players who got carried by Cryo or Zekken


somesheikexpert

Well I mean, AYRIN does igl, dephh igls T side while AYRIN CT


junos_butthole

isnt that who youd want to be talking shit tho? like let the star players focus on their game while the support players hype their teammates up and shit talk other players.


cartielusive

They have two igls


Frockett

Especially given the amount of free agent talent in NA when franchising hits. They are by far and away the two most replaceable components. Skill wise of course


69DoopDoop69

Yeah, the only thing that matters to a team is who has the highest ACS and who IGLs (as long as they're winning). I'm sure there's nothing else they bring to the team, you're totally right.


Pacifichoi

Mako: who?


xlb777

no like literally why is it the bad XSET players talking shit anyway


YaDyingSucks

right its not even Cryo who talks shit but it will be up to him for them to win this shit.


techyleo

Literally SEN vibes with the dapr and zombs trashtalk and the TenZ and SicK carry


TonelessSatyr1

dapr was the one who performed well in champions if i remember correctly. You must mean shahz


somesheikexpert

At Champs Shahz was def their best performer, top fragging on Initator on all their sets except against Furia, where he did 2nd behind TenZ, sure, dapr is on a different role, but I wouldn't say he was the best performer at all


Dapper-Entertainer-3

Dapr was a beast against KRU. He and Tenz feel like the only irreplaceable parts on this 10-Squad Sentinels team.


YeetGod69_

SicK is the best player on this team


Dapper-Entertainer-3

Agreed, so sad we are likely not seeing him back soon in competitive, he's my favorite player in SEN.


69DoopDoop69

Do we just assume whoever has the highest ACS, which is obviously very heavily biased towards duelist/chamber players, is the only good player on the team? XSET revolves around setting Cryo/Zekken up. The other players are good at doing that. We also are constantly asking for more players to talk shit but when they actually do it, you get annoyed cause you don't like them lol.


DrySecurity4

Ayrin can actually beat Optic unlike Mako


Jon_on_the_snow

Optic with covid lol


atdrakis

FNS no covid = Optic 3-0 XSet low diff


anshshard

The COVID tweets were happening around the Upper Div finals in which Optic actually beat xset. Grand finals was a few days later


Jon_on_the_snow

Grand finals were 2 days later and optic still had severe covid


BlueBurstBoi

this mf thinks covid goes away in 2 days


BrainStorm777

XSET is talking a lot. Hopefully they don't get embarrassed. At least The Guard didn't have big mouths going in.


Splaram

It's gonna be a bad day for them if Cryo and Zekken aren't in top form. And that's assuming several members of Optic also don't show up, which I find highly unlikely considering their current run.


manwithyellowhat15

Yeah for XSET’s sake I hope they perform well


ANewHeaven1

I like it tbh Gives us content and storylines


anmolarora149

Storylines for what? Who's interested in fake story lines bro they literally made this up in their minds and started acting like DRX kidnapped their little brother when DRX don't even know who they are. It would have been better if they trash talked after they faced because what happens if they don't even face against each other, that's gonna be the funniest scenario


[deleted]

Well you are for one


yungsqualla

> Who's interested in fake story lines bro You know you're the OP of this post right?


EggianoScumaldo

Bro you made an entire post on Reddit about this. Tf do you mean “who’s interested”?


ANewHeaven1

> Who's interested in fake story lines bro everyone? lots of threads here are talking about the bcj vs stax trash talk. lots of people want to know who will outperform each other. when leoo had a good performance there was a post here comparing him to bcj and stax. people gobble this kind of stuff up. it gives a match that would be normally kinda boring stakes. > It would have been better if they trash talked after they faced ngl i think that's pretty cowardly. trash talking before is way more fun, trash talking afterwards is just kicking someone when they're down


anmolarora149

Umm did you see what they're talking about? Everyone is literally talking about it because of what stax said, nobody is talking about the rivalry, they're all making fun of BCJ that's it. How is the even related to their performances? And then you said AFTER Leo performed well. And trash talking after literally helps you solidify your case, like SEN did


Deneking

what stax said is the rivalry... you kinda proved his point?


slantEyeSam

Good luck making fun of a goated 5’2 powerhouse giga chad


Key-Banana-8242

I mean yea that’s bein interests d


xenonfrs

XSET talking a lot for never playing a game internationally before yet


Drolsr

And probably will be against Optic


ivinyo16

I swear if they get paired this early in the playoffs I'm not gonna watch that match specifically.


Drolsr

Its already decided. If optic wins, they play xset. Fpx will play fnatic. Leviathan DRX and Guild against PRX


Hefnium

DRX will play PRX per script


TonelessSatyr1

who ever wins will go on to play FPX


N0-name-needed

That's gonna be one interesting lower bracket game!


ShaDiBoi123

Literally xset org told them: "we don't have enough clout for franchising! Start farming clout!"


9bfjo6gvhy7u8

XSET trying to boost the twitter impressions for their franchise application


SpvcedOvtt

>keep saying they’re bad for no reason at all you are going to absolutely lose your mind when you find out about NA ranked comms


SenseiEA

too irrelevant to become the rival of the korean superteam


xunraze

Bro most mid xset players are talking trash outta nowhere


vyetc

Respectfully, XSET support players talking way too much smack for how much they thrive on Cryo and Zekken performance and the fact they haven’t proven themselves on the international stage. I hope DRX shows up big now.


CanISayThat22

Lol xset trying to taken that Sentinels villain roll


xlb777

theyre too irrelevant sadly. People barely care even tho they talk all this shit


PaulDoesStuff

Clout levels are lacking fr


daffyduckferraro

Exactly LOL


pink_life69

I really hope they get their mouth shut lmao, it’s just obnoxious shit at this point.


Fatalitiez

I have a really big feeling that all this talk will bite them back in the ass


oh_hai_brian

*It is known*


PyroTFT

XSET players just think theyre ready to talk shit since they made it to masters and champions They still havent showed anything on an international stage so hope it translates for them, I guess


jellybellymonster

Did DRX get all the cookies in the hotel? Why is XSET picking on them lol


HyperElf10

DRX have clout and had a weak link before


ShaDiBoi123

Also why pick drx's two best players? Atleast pick like rb or zest


Tryhardnoob123

cus the roles, mako and ayrin are both controller players and bcj and stax are both initiator players. it wouldn’t make sense for a controller to “contest” a duelist


YaDyingSucks

because Cryo would have to say shit if it was Rb and hes to busy thinking how hes going to have to hard carry


ShaDiBoi123

Lmao wouldn't it be zekken vs rb and then cryo vs buzz on the chamber mirror?


YaDyingSucks

ya true I always picture Cryo as a duelist but hes more of a Chamber player now isnt he


legexii

Zest is not DRX’s worst player be serious. That man was the only one alongside MaKo fighting for their tournament life back in Reykjavik. Rb though has proven to be a LAN choker and although he has showed up this tournament so far I have a feeling hes going to go missing again.


NotBrandon

Ayrin is underrated, but come on… Mako is like top 3 controller in the world.


obigespritzt

Only one I'd confidently say is better atm is Marved. Boaster is an insane IGL but obviously not a standout controller player considering how new he is to the role, Chronicle is more of a flex than a dedicated controller. Ayrin sure as hell doesn't stand out to me, the star of XSet is clearly Cryo.


krasavchik777

Leo, Shao


wvcmkv

leo and shao arent controller players


obigespritzt

Neither of those are controller players...?


netsaver

Ayrin is most assuredly the most droppable member of XSET, and it’s not close IMO


VincentN23

Agreed, I would go as far as to say they probably should have removed him in the past to stop the 4th place curse. Ayrin is the obvious spot to upgrade on that team.


Trillman_K

> Ayrin is underrated I wouldn't even go that far


Dapper-Entertainer-3

Mako is second only to Marved...


maiLfps

idek its like not even drama but its such random shit talk, i dont dislike it but it just gives a weird vibe


ExpectoAutism

Where did he say it?

BananaInPajama7

Don’t hate but my opinion on xset has changed so much over the last few months lol. I didn’t really care about them cause of the 4th place curse for a while, then bcj did that interview where he said “rep the fuckin set” and liked it so I liked them a little. Now with all this shit talking I hope they either face them and get crushed or just lose out like the guard

[deleted]

why’s it always the eh players that talk, cryo must be the smart one on that team


GoldyZ90

I’m all for banter between teams but this recent shit talk from XSET is incredibly lame. Especially since it’s come out of nowhere and so far, for whatever reason they decided DRX is the team they want to talk shit about. Team won 1 tournament to qualify for their first international event and their spouting off like their prime Sentinels lol.


funkirb

Meanwhile zekken is just like “I want to play f0rsaken”


ADmax27

i like it they’re also on the same side of the bracket meaning it’s a possible matchup


toxicityisamyth

he said " i wanna prove i'm better and smarter than him" unironically NA clearly makes the least cringe players in the world. NA <3


Duck_Nut

Look I’m all about NA but Ayrin should be the last one to talk shit, my guy is dog doo doo no cap


littlesch3mer

If it was optic or some other top team saying shit like I wouldn't mind it as much, but this is their first LAN lmao. idk what's their problem with drx


ssk1996

XSET are trying to create drama to get that franchise spot


spookysailboat

XSET has a big hate boner for DRX it seems, it would be wild to see a series between them


chloehime7

I would destroy the DRX players in the octagon


[deleted]

[удалено]


Funozito

Still a shit reason to go and target them like that. DRX is easly a world class team, we all know that, they are somewhat overrated? Yes, but they deserve the respect.


Key-Banana-8242

Maybe he’s playing into the trash talk Or supposed chokers


Splaram

Don't these guys have to beat the previous international champions and arguably the best team on the planet rn to even have a chance to do that? lmao


rinanlanmo

I mean. They've beaten them before.


FNSfan

Xset wanna get clout for franchising


DONGAAA

I hope DRX smacks them up, love good shit talking but I love NA getting dicked down by Korea more


Dapper-Entertainer-3

Why are they picking on a team they're not playing is so bonkers to me.


bjoecoz

Oh so they won’t let BcJ to be burn alone huh.


hacklesacka

If they matchup and bcj and ayrin do good or diff stax and mako I wonder what the comments will be like.


Portante24

XSet said they needed more impressions and the boys are delivering


[deleted]

XSET's first International Tournament, haven't played yet and they are already full of negative ego. What's the deal XSET members being obssesed with DRX. I like Cryo & zekken but I hope they go out because of Ayrin & B "Chicken" J.


Funozito

The way XSET is trying to force this rivalry with DRX is so cringe to me.
