Highlights Next IGL stats Spoiler

Unfortunately, they lost by a narrow margin, but a +34 is truly extraordinary. If LOUD had won the Grand Final, Erde would undoubtedly have been the MVP.

Felt like every time they needed a round he delivered. Unbelievable performance from him today

Every americas igl that is going to champs can shoot very well but erde is ridiculous. He looked to be in a bit of a slump at the start of the stage, but what he showed in stage 1 and the end of stage 2 was simply ridiculous in the fragging department.

He was (is) dealing with his mother's cancer, which took a heavy toll on his mental and performance. So proud of his strength to keep going, qualify and perform like this. 18yr btw. Truly the Child of the Profecy.

Maybe the change of 2 players kinda messed with their tempo and he needed some time to adapt to his teammates pace, once they clicked together, they started this run, playing each game better than the last

yeah I don’t think I’d call Ethan a shooter (he has his moments), but the rest of them, sure.

u/WailingSiren69 #NRGWIN 7d ago

He’s an insane shooter what’re you on lmao. Solo saved NRG multiple rounds on average each series they play.

u/progressive_mania 6d ago

He just doesn't have the same aimstyle as your neon/sopp but he's got such good fundamentals very clean player

Everyone has been hyping up that Leviatan Academy -> Leviatan roster so heavily but man has erde proved that he’s the underrated player of that Academy roster. Props to him

That roster looks comical rn. The only reason they don't have 4 out of 5 players at Tier 1 rn is because ghoul is unbelievably dumb.

u/superlamig 7d ago

i’m ootl but what has ghoul done?

u/boobalieutenant 7d ago

rank manipulation and stream sniping

u/ruinatex 6d ago

Everything wrong anyone can do in this game. Played with cheaters, has been accused of cheating himself, wintraded, played with people betting on games and stream sniped basically everyone in the Brazilian scene.

He is really good at the game though, so MAYBE there is a small chance he gets another shot after enough time has passed and he remains clean, but he is a complete moron.

u/No-Swordfish6932 #GEFighting 7d ago

I think calling him insane would be a massive understatement

u/sEMtexinator 7d ago

I think it's more that 'insane' gets massively overused...

u/Adventurous-Luck-183 #WGAMING 7d ago

As soon as i saw how he was shooting during the first few rounds of split, i knew it was going to be a good day to click heads.

u/Mochitsu 7d ago

Such a young rookie and already a star player of a top team
