    We all keep talking Karrigan being in nafany's head but no one is talking about how Cadian has figured out Apex and ZywOo. Heroic basically cannot lose to Vitality in the last 2 years, no matter the line up. ZywOo never plays well (his standard for well) against Heroic. Cadian has cracked Apex and Vitality but no one gives him the credit for it

    Glad Thorin said his piece about the seeding and matchups. G2 choked for sure, but them getting NAVI and Heroic in their first 2 BO1s and then getting Outsiders and Furia as their BO3s is ridiculous. Especially compared to Flames who played BNE, ENCE (fair enough), but then Spirit who they lost to, Faze (fair enough), and Imperial.

    Every passing month, s1mple's consistency -- regardless of who he's played with -- becomes even more of a staggering achievement. When he retires, prepare yourself for decades of "is this the next s1mple?" and the answer, like MJ, is always going to be no. If you even have to ask the question then you know the resume is not sufficient.

      The worst s1mple has played on LAN since 2016 is for one series ON THE DAY HIS COUNTRY WAS INVADED AND HIS CITY WAS BEING BOMBED. He looked out of it for one series. Every other Russian/Ukrainian player rightfully has excuses during this whole conflict, but s1mple took just 1 day where he disappeared and was back to best player in the world in his very next official.

    It feels like all that vitality had to do was drop kyojin and pick up Amanek and they would be better than this vitality squad.

    I must say I can't be bothered watching Vertigo. Maybe I'm boomer but I would rather watch d2 every matchup. Even if it is like FaZe vs Na'Vi, the map just doesn't capture any interest in me from the PoV of a viewer. It is like overmatch map, idk, just too unique to enjoy. And Aztec is just Valorant map, it is meh but acceptable.
