Idk why everyone's so hyped about i55 when there's still week 7 (reason playing nerdrage) to get through. Who will choke?

well NerdRage "choked" against 4:25 while [R] not :v

yes but reason sucks :v

did you just say reason didn't choke

I mean it's a totally different team but come on

reason are like that kid that just keeps sucking on sweets whilst running and you tell them not to again and again but they keep doing it and you say now listen here dont run with boiled sweets in your mouth its dangerous youll end up in hospital but they ignore you and every time surprise surprise they trip over their own feet and choke half to death on a tiny sweet and they need chest thrusts but damn they love those boiled sweets

I dunno about you but I'm mainly hyped because nerdRage.tf beat Ascent in the international showmatch.

And Ascent beat Froyotech in ESEA. And Reason have a new sexy roster. And TLR are doing well. It looks hella good so far.

Quite disrespectful to 425... So far every "top" team choked against them apparently.

Its going to be interesting how much of a buff this upgrade for Reason is going to be comparing by the results against other EU teams, if its going to be significant and they will roll other teams in EU top3 then EU doesnt have a chance against a proper (no mercs) 4G roster.
But who cares, 4G lost an official yesterday :)

new reason is better on paper, we'll see how well they develop during the week

I want Russians on zero ping

#425tolan

I would honestly love to see what these guys could do on 0 ping. A lot of people were probably dismissive of them but they have done a great job and managed to get some impressive results. I would prefer the old Lethal Weapon team to lan if I had to pick but 4-25 is looking better everyday too.

I mean its probably kinda late and rude to do now, but couldn't froyo have just asked grape to pocket?

Or did they just not because he's already rostered on another team in the esea season, or is it for personal reasons?

i'm not super into the na scene but ignoring any personal or logistical reasons couldn't you argue that any difference in ability between grape and serv0, in a team like froyo, is negligible?

no, not necessarily because one of them is that much worse than the other but because they're different players and play differently

the biggest and almost only tangible difference other than playstyle is simply that grape has more recent top invite experience wheras serv0 last played a full season in s16

i said difference in ability though, implying that 4g would know what they want in a pocket and and to the extent possible make the candidate just that.

Isn't serv0 not going though? Or did I miss him pulling another 180?

I have no clue if admirals rumor on stream was true or not but i havent really bothered finding out

If servo isn't going who are potential candidates?

Names talked about on stream were Alfa and maybe even Seagull if they could convince him to go.

#ash4i55

^ This is what happens when someone raises opinions based on the end score without watching a game

You guys are under rating the fuck out of serv0.

I think serv0 is a bit out of practice. He'll probably be fine by the time i55 comes around.

serv0 is good enough to do it he just hasn't practised enough with froyo yet or something. he just had 1 bad game lol.

i think clock also said they aren't getting seagull now on his stream and im pretty sure they would much rather play with serv0 than alfa

Sideshow talked about b4nny coming on pocket and possibly enigma replacing him on scout during the advanced lobbies stream, no idea if these rumors are true though.

i think engima is playing for mangachu's team because squid can't play all the time

b4nny already knows how to win without having a good pocket

I cant believe people are actually underestimating serv0

yuki save us
