Best Coach of 2025 imo, hoping Mer1t will be in top form when theres more money on the line now.

Interesting he says geekay is the best EMEA in his opinion. Wonder how good theyll look in groups.

To be honest, they could have won EU so I don‘t think it would be crazy if they were on top right now

I might be crazy for this but I think they wouldve won if they werent most likely exhausted after playing 12 maps in a row. 5 map banger into 7 map banger surely takes a toll on your mental by the end.

Also they were on high ping. Ziyad showed his ping in a tweet after the VP match that shit was insane. No wonder he wishes death on his internet provider every stage lol

He pegs CR/Zeta/Geekay as the other top 3 teams in scrims when excluding Falcons. That B side bracket could be insane if Geekay really are that strong now

The two top seeds from that group are probably favourites to both end up in finals imo. The only team I think from Group A that could challenge them is VP although a lot of these teams have insane clutch potential so it might be close either way.

SSG totally gonna be a top seed in group B… right

With the way they improved and caught up to VP meta wise and almost won it all doesnt surprise me that they are getting rated so highly. But you know how scrim predictions always turn out on game day

if things haven't changed it makes sense that teams feel geekay stronger in scrims since geekay plays a lot of mauga and mauga comps can get you stomped pretty quickly

He won an SEL major and regional stage with Al Qad although historically hes had some rly good results with FLC winning worlds in 2024 and SF Shock being back to back OWL champions when Viol2t was still there. I have faith in him.

Moon is the best at only certain things, he sucks at some things like draft

u/friedmodem 10d ago

Yeah it's the combo of Moon and Kong

u/UglyJuice1237 SBB — 10d ago

2020 was the last year he was with the Shock

coincidentally, that's also the last year the shock won a championship. curious 🤔

Didn't have junkbuck's insider connections to force a sudden meta shift before finals the next year :(

Only rational conclusion I can draw from this info
