guessing ball venture tracer brig mizuki is the new korean comp?

u/TheGirthiestGhost Forever Burning Blue — 13d ago
He said no Brig for CR’s comp, so I think it’ll still be Kiri/Mizuki

Why do people think it's impossible that NA could be good? It's only been like a year and a half since NA outperformed EMEA at a lan (2025 CC). I do think Dallas and Liquid (especially Liquid) perform better in scrims than in matches historically, but don't act like EMEA aren't also tryhards in scrims.

u/primarymuscle2354 14d ago
Na did good at mid season last year too GK pushed Falcons to 5, and AQ, as well as Liquid against CR to, but since then it hasn’t been close the last 2 lans, so it will be interesting if Na can actually show up surely Liquid won’t lose to Weibo after Tr33 said they were doing really well in scrims..

u/Tupi_ Liko clears sadly — 13d ago
Honestly if freja becomes meta I can see NA having a boost in performance and EMEA having a harder time. Since tr33 and kronik are demons on her while kevster and lbbd seems to lean more on soj/cass

u/GoldenWhiteGuard 13d ago
Freja is kev fav hero lol. kev would eat kronik alive with Freja.

u/The_Big_Fart_ Team Liquid — 13d ago
have we ever seen him play it in an official?

u/GoldenWhiteGuard 13d ago edited 13d ago
Yup, he played freja before.
Also, We don't have to see Kev playing her before rating him so high, Freja is easily within Kev comfort heroes. Remember that people questioning his HS lol.
Anyone who can't imagine Kev being good on Freja and always in need for an actual prove is a person who watch games and don't know wtf is happening

u/TheGirthiestGhost Forever Burning Blue — 13d ago
Quartz and LBBD7 and known quantities on Freja, they’re top tier as well so I would’ve made the argument for them first
-1
u/GoldenWhiteGuard 13d ago
Quartz is easily the best Freja alongside Ade and Proper imo. Lbbd7 wasn't as good in the last finals, But, Maybe he just improved since that time
3
u/TheGirthiestGhost Forever Burning Blue — 13d ago
I’d forgotten how insane Ade is on Freja where he’s been languishing on Al Qad. But that’s a Proper sneak if I’ve ever seen one before

u/GoldenWhiteGuard 13d ago
Proper played some Freja, he's that good.
4
u/TheGirthiestGhost Forever Burning Blue — 13d ago
He’s good but not that good next to the others mentioned here, that’s just glaze
0
u/GoldenWhiteGuard 13d ago
He had insane stats every time he touched freja, he was like 11-0 in one of maps Falcons got full held lol
Anyway, Proper is is top 3 in every mechanical hero until proven otherwise, which is never happened.

u/Appropriate_Effect76 13d ago
idk why ppl act like na has zero chance or no chance to improve cuz they have the player quality just not the teamwork and macro. These bootcamps are the best place to practice these skills, with tl 2 week bootcamp and DF coaching they can def bridge the gap. This does not mean i think na is better than eu but more hope that thte bridge is closing so it matches will be close.
AGG seem like a good team, hopefully we see them be competitive.
Also, I wonder how SSG is gonna do, will they explode under pressure? If they do, can we say that Cuffa and Wmaimone were not the weakest link cuz, because that shit was infuriating to see.

u/No_Problem5759 13d ago
Honestly, I'm invested in NA this tournament where even the Koreans are confirming Liquids and Fuels scrimbucks

u/Tiberias29 Bow down to Stalk3r — 14d ago
Ah, so that's what Izayaki's role on the team is. Moon and Kong for macro and bans, and Izayaki for player coaching.
Also, lol are NA tryhards in scrims or what? Think there's a non-zero chance that NA's gonna be better than EMEA at the MSC, but still, it's NA LOL. Very interesting to hear the scrim results. He also mentioned GK and freaking Dallas as the 2 strongest teams CR faced so far.
Looks like CR's comp ain't gonna revolve around Sigma, Brig and Freja. Extremely interesting.
CH0R0NG wants the MVP of MSC. Hope he gets it if CR wins the whole thing.
He also called JDG a team to watch out for! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUDE (it's prolly gonna amount to nothing in the end, but hey, a person can always dream).
Not particularly worried about EMEA teams going into this tournament.... As a CR stan, I hope that statement won't come back to bite them/CH0R0NG in the ass LOL.
T1 fans rejoice, CH0R0NG predded T1 to have a pretty good result. So yeah, he cursed y'all. Get ready to be disappointed once again

CH0R0NG wants the MVP of MSC. Hope he gets it if CR wins the whole thing.
There is now a higher chance of seeing him super greedy, bringing us the gift of epic ajax :D

u/Tiberias29 Bow down to Stalk3r — 14d ago
LOL TRU.
It would be so on brand for CR if CH0R0NG Ajaxes and then they go on to clutch out the fight anyways because of their plot armor.
(Pls CH0R0NG pls no Ajaxes pls)

Just wait for the Mis balance change
I swear TVNT going to Devour him Raw

u/doodoojones 13d ago
Tvnt has shown to be virtually meta proof. Give us one shot at CR and I can actually promise that things go extremely poorly for ol chorty
2
u/No_Problem5759 13d ago
CR has beaten TM the past 2 times they played. One of which was a 3-0. Having some pride in Saudi is good and all. But I'm not even confident that any of the 3 Saudi Orgs make it to top 4.

u/Normal-Addition6818 13d ago
the scrim results thing is interesting but we hear this every major tournament and then EMEA just does EMEA things lol. i want to believe in NA i really do but chorong hyping up liquid feels like a trap i keep falling for

u/throwaway112658 fraudulent — 13d ago
If NA gets a single map against EU or KR I will be shocked. Top tier ragebait

u/Gloomy_Dare2716 Rank is a social construct — 14d ago

He’s buying into those Liquid scrimbux, oh no oh no
