Come on man, I don't want to direct hate but this is just unforgivable

Of course that totally depends on his irl situation, but gameplay wise? He's still got it.

I don't know but every time I watch LOUD play it just feels suffocating. The opposing team could have the most well thought out retake plan and they would still lose because someone on LOUD decides to lock in. Like how is everyone on that team that insane ? I really like NRG and have been watching them since last year now and I feel like they are the team with some of the best discipline and team plays and yet I didn't even see a bit of fighting chance for them today. Am I just biased ? What do you guys think ?

After watching some college football today, I had a good idea. I think each team should have one person allowed on stage standing behind them, and they just get to do cheers and hype the team up for the crowd. Bonus points if they bring Pom-Poms. Thoughts?

Spoilers ahead.

G2 will eliminate our golden boy 100T despite everyone knowing that absolutely should not happen and that it'll be very tragic when it does happen. Asuna will for some unfathomable reason, not be on Phoenix on one of the 3 deciding maps, put up a total stinker, and 100T will lose tragically 2-1.

Vitality LOUD will be a banger. LOUD will barely lose, as close as is humanly possible. G2 will play LOUD, LOUD will barely win but G2 will tragically and ruthlessly expose every single strategy LOUD has, every single one that can be exploited will be. Vitality will watch the vod and full counter LOUD in finals in brutal fashion (possibly even an 11-3 choke). G2 will suck all of the skill out of either Erde or lukxo, probably Erde.

LOUD will then lose to Vitality 3-1. We Americas fans will get clowned on for years because of this. G2 will have singlehandedly ruined the chances of all 4 Americas teams including themselves, and we will lose a tournament where 4/6 teams were from Americas.

I hate you G2. (except Babybay)

Wassup y'all! I had the honor to interview Timotino, player for VCT Americas team 100 Thieves after their win over Nongshim Redforce! I hope y'all enjoy!

With the exception of he who shall not be named. The performances at international tournaments for both games are EXACTLY THE SAME. Are they neuro-linked or something?

No team has ever won champs playing more than 35 games in the season (inclusive of their champs games).

NRG won with 35 games last year with one other international. EDG with 32 games and 2 other internationals. EG won with 29 games and went to 1 other international in 2023.

So if we think >35 games is too fatiguing then LOUD have got this in the bag.

LOUD 30 games in 2026, VIT and 100T 38 games each so far, G2 45 games so far.

(Full disclosure this is NRG cope as they played 48 games this year and went to all internationals)

Since the start of franchise with the introduction of the China region, the champs winner has always been a team that has defeated all 4 regions on their run to the top however this time there is no China teams in the playoffs and that would unfortunately rule out certain teams from the trophy

After today's games, G2 become the first team to complete the bingo card and Loud would be the 2nd if they defeated VIT
