Examples of players that got what you mentioned and still lost passion for the game. I'm saying $$ and playing in the top league aren't always the answer to players not enjoying the game as much?

Tell that to Birdring and other players that played in OWL but still lost passion for the game.

Loss of passions aren't often remedied by getting traded though.

I understood, just wondering why they were surprised at this point.

I guess the coaches are signed under KSE, so things might be a bit more complicated than it seems.

AFAIK both are still with the GLA but are allowed to look for other opportunities. Feel free to correct me if that's incorrect, but I don't think either has left the Org as of yet.

Turncoat.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm 500% rooting for VAN to win...

But holy fuck do SFS look scary. They lost one match then absolutely shit on the rest of the teams. They took down team that VAN barely beat and just bitch slapped them right out of the playoffs.

I'll be praying that I'm dead wrong in my gut feeling and that VAN pull off what I can only call as an upset at this point. Anyhow, my pred (that I hope VAN boom):

VAN 2-4 SFS

I'm really worried that HZS might get rolled on maps where they can't use Doom. Even then, SFS's are looking hella scary. tbh I wouldn't be terribly surprised if HZS only managed one map win, or possibly even none.

Not gonna lie though, I will be rooting for them nonetheless.

HZS 2-4 SFS

Did I say 5%? I actually meant 95%, never doubted for a second. Now please excuse me while I go change my underwear.

We, the north.

They got to play in what was by far the weaker division. Not to take anything away from their record but teams like VAN and SFS had to battle it out against stronger opponents for most of the year and still came out on top.

NYXL "deserves" nothing until they earn it. They prove the naysayers wrong the only way possible: by winning. Until that happens they'll remain the team that does well during the regular season but that can't stand up to the moment when the chips are down and the dicks are on the table.

Also, what you just said would probably make from another good copy/pasta, specially the Florida part.

Nah, they looked like they didn't know how to play the meta since pretty much stage 4. So "should have won" isn't something I'd remotely associate with their playoff performance last year. Their play dictated where they ended the playoffs.

ATL 3-4 HZS

GLA 2-4 SFS

Both teams looking solid, bout 5% confidence in this but...

VAN 4-3 NYXL

Fits, Fleta and Marve1 got comprehensively schooled.

NYXL 4-3 ATL

VAN 4-2 GLA

LON 1-4 SFS

SEO 4-3 HZS

Edit: down voting preds...LUL.

You would have found out of the Glads lost or not either way right?

ok.

Hm, picking VAN to 4-0 vs SEO over SFS vs ATL, bold choice indeed.

SFS 4-1 ATL

HZS 2-4 LAG

NYXL 2-4 LON

Corey, Dding and Kariv are the only names that I think have no business being on this list given their entire season. In my honest opinion. All the others I can make cases for, even if some would be relatively weak.

Rascal's Bap, Mei and Pharah have been extremely impactful. Corey literally had one stage while Rascal was more effective throughout most of the season.

I personally can't see why they gave him the award over a player that was just better for all but one stage. And even then, it's not like Rascal fell off a cliff in Stage 4 either.

it seems there were technical issues with Numbani, so they allowed them to play KR again.

lul

"Klaus has confirmed that he will be taking a break from the game."

Should be a win for London, Atlanta didnt play any strong team this stage

hindsight is 20/20. don't think the comment was incorrect at the time.

Shrug, those happen in sports in general.

Again, depends on what their model and goal for their Academy team is.

Depends on what their model and goal is the Academy I guess.

Couple interesting scenarios here.

1. Gen.G wins - they keep their 2nd seed and their QF bye.
2. Gen.G lose - they fall to 4th, lose their bye and face FU in their first playoff game.

Either way, Gen.G hold their fate in their own hands.

clearly sandbagging.

Power rankings are subjective. And he did give his opinion on why they're there, but I'll also note that you failed to explain your reasoning as to why the "Gladiators are good but not that good".

TOXIC TOKS DUUUUDE.

Last match wasn't a fluke imo. They were unprepared and got bodied by Corey. I think there might be an argument for asking if he'd be able to do the same to them given the gift of hindsight, but those were very real struggles that need to be addressed.

That being said I do have faith that VAN can fix their issues relatively quickly.

VAN 3 - 1 LON

Next game to decides who has to face King Kaiser and his Blast crew!

With this FU just need to win 2 maps against EM to guarantee top 6. They'd need to win 3-0 or better to overtake EM due to map differential (tie) but having won the head-to-head.

Not quite GOATS one-tricks but def struggling with Orisa/Reaper-Hanzo/Mei.

the oracle's prediction came true.

Happy too stronk

halfway there

dun forget Nlaaer
