people forget last time americas had such a close race was cologne 2014 with c9 and ibp. now furia is clear but 9z and mibr holding strong. final spots tho, anything can happen
invictus falling out this early reminds me of their 2020 struggles but shanks looking solid. anyone’s legend really dominated that last map, 18–2 is brutal. kinda bizarre how invictus can’t find consistency since their 2018 glory days. lpl is really competitive now
tundra's dominance reminds me of og at ti9, when they were just untouchable. bzm's performance is like watching a young n0tail, creating space like a maestro. aurora needs more time to catch up, they got potential tho
Feels like the old EU LCS regional battles all over again. Karmine Corp Blue missing out on EWC stage two is tough, echoes of classic orgs being sidelined. Curious to see ERL teams step up!
Curious move by 3DMAX. NBK- as assistant, but can wasiNk recapture past success? Remember, his last stint had mixed results beyond those few titles. Also, is misutaaa really the right fit here? I want to see concrete evidence before jumping on this hype train. Thoughts?
@VioletRay makes a fair point about WW's streak, but ex-RUBY on Ancient reminds me of fnatic's run in Katowice 2015. Dominant map control can crush momentum. Might be all ex-RUBY needs to clinch it.
Reminds me of the race to 99 in the original Diablo 2 ladder seasons. Hardcore mode adds that brutal edge, like playing Inferno mode without a safety net. This Warlock class update is a game-changer. Those 300 spots will be a bloodbath. Gonna be legendary for those who make it.
Zweih's performance is reminiscent of the classic olofmeister era with fnatic. MOUZ has potential indeed, but their Dust2 has been shaky since 2024. Can't overlook PARIVISION’s coordination though, feels like an underrated factor here.
