I think this one will fall in a similar fashion that the FaZe/EnVy game did, 3-1 or 4-0 since right now I'd say FaZe and EnVision are the only two teams capable of taking even a map off EnVy. I'd still have to predict 4-0 NV but I have some faith in the EnVision boys, even if I don't want them to win LUL

edit: Remembering how EnVy has looked pretty terrible on Hanamura specifically, I'll go 3-1 instead of 4-0 here.

This will most likely be unwatchable. Definite RNG 4-0, clean and easy sweep for them Kappa

Rogue 3-2, IMT has looked worse than Rogue lately in my opinion. Tanks getting shredded, DPS looking mostly non-existent or at all relevant in fights. But honestly I can't tell you which way this one is going, both teams have struggled immensely in recent weeks and anything could happen.

In light of Contenders results, how the hell does this even shape up anymore? The only constant I can say is EnVy at the top of NA, but otherwise I have no idea what the world rankings even remotely look like right now.

I don't know what happened to Renegades to make them perform this poorly. I mean they've looked bad in literally all of their games, even the ones where J3 was starting. Same thing goes for Immortals and Rogue I guess, NA scene just seems super shaky lately.

dumb post wish i could delete posts on this site haHAA

that's hilarious, he must be embarrassed that he said something so stupid

I'M LATE BUT 3-1 FNRGFE

You consistently post the dumbest things I've seen on this website. Are you asserting that EFFECT isn't an insane tracer, and EnVy could only win abusing his doomfist? That's hilarious.

I don't hate Kungarna nor do I particularly HATE Mykl, I just think he's a bad player with a big mouth who has no place in Tier 1.

4-0 EnVy, as good as the rest of Kungarna is I frankly think Mykl brings the entire team down.

I think they expected it to be slightly easier of a game than it was, hence trying out weird things like Hog.

A lot closer than I thought it'd be honestly, GGs. New FaZe roster is looking pretty good.

?????? EnVy literally robbed

edit: pls no downfrag is just meme

Either C9s team happened to work very, very well together considering they're all brand new together, or eUnited is really, really slumping.

unfortunate truth, until there's guarantee that the non-OWL scene will have consistent, worthwhile tournaments, no org wants to sign a new team right now.

yeah im aware, just thought it sounded misleading because i didn't predict all of them this week lmfao

nah, called 3-1 123 and 4-0 Rogue, got the Kungarna 3-1 right though

i'm 3-0 in terms of winning team predictions this week, let's keep the streak going PogChamp

4-0 eUnited, C9 squad is basically a mixing bowl of players who don't have experience together, leading me to believe the team that's been together for a long time has the much higher chance of winning.

3-1 IMT seems logical here, would not be at all surprised to have my expectations turned on their head though.

EnVy 4-0, I get the present of watching my favorite team play on my birthday FeelsGreatMan

you're probably right, it just sucks that this will likely harm their chances of winning this tournament. you never know though, could work out really well so we'll see I guess

good roster changes imho, better to get a large round of people and pick and choose who works best together. still anxious about throwing a completely new set of people into a tournament with the best teams in your region, considering there's little to no chemistry there. it'd be better for them if they had more time to pick and choose who worked best

Kungarna 3-1

Rogue 4-0, I think last game was something of a fluke but hey, never know with OW.
also RNG start j3 BabyRage

123 3-1
... That was a lot of numbers.

Feel bad that eV got Rogue first. 4-0 FeelsBadMan

NV 3-1, let's go boys in blue (especially daddy Timo)!

This will be a clean sweep from AFB I think, they're still quite a powerful team and can't be underestimated regardless of their stumble versus Lunatic Hai.

edit: I didn't realize AFB had a slight roster change, could easily change the way I thought the game would turn out

edit 2: wow

this is the best pun i've seen on this website and that's saying something, hats off

4-0 SK, but somewhere deep down inside of me I believe in the Austria win. BlessRNG up boys, BlessRNG up.

What happened to his twitter?? Anybody have a clue?

never, us muricans are free and bow to nobody
Kappa

gotta love em cute boy sailor suits man KappaPride

indeed brother, indeed.

this is the shitpostiest thread i've seen on this site i s2g

we'll be the last surviving muricans

Think the time has come for hype! I'm expecting a good match though with the lack of Korean T1 play in the past month or so anything could really happen here. I'll give the edge to Lunatic-Hai solely based on the fact that they have more experience on the big stage and have shown consistency in the past. Could easily see this one going to the last match possible, 4-3 either way. GL to both sides!

who are they?

oooo this one should be great to watch, even if it isn't close it'll give us a good idea of how the teams match up in Korea right now. I'll predict a 4-1 AFB but hey, anything could happen here.

a truly flawless predictor, called the next two teams to fall, my eyes are opened

wait

RunAway still have a soft spot in my heart after APEX S2. I won't be awake for this one, but, regardless, RUNAWAY FIGHTING!!

Truly, an EPICTROLL.

Kappa

Well played to both sides! Very close through the last two matches for sure.

hmmm, I really wasn't expecting the Swedes to be able to even tie this one. Usually I'd say the pre-formed team would have the advantage. Surprised to see Australia isn't performing better, though I think they'll still tie this one up 2-2. Good play out of the Swedes so far.

RIP Finland, expecting an unfortunate Japan 4-0. Could be wrong though, still really hard to tell which teams are really performing well and which teams are just having good/bad days.

Rogue at #4 is a stretch in my opinion? They got smacked by Koreans and they haven't had the chance to face up against new EnVy. Sure, they consistently dominate tier 2 and low tier 1 NA, but to place them as being above EnVy and LWB, ESPECIALLY after that recent scare in BEAT? eh.

Hope Norway takes it, going to have to say it'll be a China 3-1 though.

What a game. IMT looks promising with Envy, Rogue is unstoppable on Volskaya. These matchups will be interesting come Contenders S1.
