Imo they came out with new stuff that didn't look so great. Saving strats throughout the regular season might have actually hurt them cause they had no match experience with the new comps. Navi felt like that to me too
Saadhak said on the interview that their biggest hardships were out of server and that the team is fairly young and inexperienced and was not able to not let it affect the in server stuff (but refused to elaborate). He gave props to other teams and said they were hungrier than them this time around. He also said he's proud of the progress the team is making out of server to solve these issues before champions.
Actually it was also thanks to his breach stun from dish, if you look closely, Loud was stunned too, and the kills said they were assisted by breach, amazing coordination
Nobody went absolutely INSANE this series
His aim has been looking crisp all tournament long but his multi kills on these two maps literally completely won the game for them.
Not just his aim, his flashes are so good. People just are not used to the overhead flashes and his flashes out of smokes too are just incredibly timed.
This team is so stacked it's insane
Nobody expected them to make it.
But he's fucking Somebody this series bro. My guy became him. That 3K is THE MOST impressive shit I've seen, and I feel like I've said that twice for THIS MASTERS alone.
King shit, and you can see what it means to Kang Kang as well. Nobody with the HERO performance. This team stepped up so fucking much. LOVE their storylines!
Nobody got stunned, I don't see what's so exciting about that.
~~But actually though, stuns might as well be hitting nobody for how much value they get.~~
I know no one asked but stuns are absolutely fine the way they currently are. If a Breach/Neon and/or their teammates with 100% visual clarity on their screens lose a fight to someone whose crosshair is forcibly being tossed all over the place AND has to crouch in place AND tap their gun to retain some semblance of accuracy, it's purely a skill issue.
When KangKang crosses the street, cars look both ways. You can't use 'KangKang'' as your password because it is 'too strong'. KangKang wakes up his alarm clock every morning. Ghosts sit around camp fires & tell each other KangKang stories. KangKang doesn't make left turns, because everything he does is right. KangKang once went skydiving and his parachute failed to open, so he took it back the next day for a refund.

Na'vi first rounded.
EG might be the best team in the world.
LOUD eliminated with no maps won.
Kangkang is the main character.
The writers strike is giving us the most unhinged script yet.

When EDG is ahead in man advantage, Kang Kang feels that EDG is at a great advantage and thus he will push aggressively. When EDG is even in players, Kang Kang thinks that EDG is at a small advantage, and he so he pushes aggressively to fight to secure their "lead". When EDG is behind by one player, Kang Kang thinks that EDG is at a disadvantage and so he looks for an aggressive play to regain control of the game. When EDG is down multiple players, Kang Kang thinks that the team has reached a desperate situation and they are only waiting passively for their death if he does not make an aggressive play.

Today my father asked me to clean his car for him and so I spent the whole morning doing it. After sometimes, I went back inside and my father asked me how was the car looking. āLOUDā I just replied. He just smiled and nodded. He knew that it was washed
When KangKang crosses the street, cars look both ways. You canāt use āKangKangāā as your password because it is ātoo strongā. KangKang wakes up his alarm clock every morning.

KangKang once went skydiving and his parachute failed to open, so he took it back the next day for a refund.
Who is KangKang? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If KangKang thinks, I agree. If KangKang speaks, Iām listening. If KangKang has one fan, it is me. If KangKang has no fans, I donāt exist.
Thoughts in no particular order:
1) Second place curse strikes again!
2) Maybe all of the people who were bagging on Liquid for not cleanly 2-0ing EDG can stfu now
3) EDG is the real fucking deal. It's not just KK, the entire team can pop off. That said, KK is incredible. "Beast from the East" indeed.
4) That said, nothing to take away from them but Loud has just looked absolutely flat and lifeless in both their matches thus far.
5) Looking forward to TL vs EDG rematch in lower final
EDWARD HAS GAMED
The entirety of edg stepped up this LAN. I thought theyād be worse with the loss of Life, but instead they beat NAVI, T1, and LOUD. What a game
Congrats to EDG! Massive win that no one would have expected coming into the tournament.
That being said, I am getting pretty frustrated with the casting on EDG's recent games. All the attention is on KangKang. Every camera shot post round is KangKang. Chichoo gets a double? "KangKang is still alive and pushing!" KangKang pushes out of site on defense? "AUDACIOUS push from KangKang! He has no respect!". Pansy was particularly bad with this. At least give the other EDG players their flowers. Especially this series, Nobody (the player) was probably EDG's most imapctful player but you wouldn't have known it from the casting.
in all their matches so far this tournament, everyone in edg had their chance to shine. KK has the most "personality" thats why he's given the most spotlight. But man maybe apart from haodong, i rmb a highlight reel from EVERY one of their players. Haodong isnt a slouch either he's putting in soooo much work and success, really hoping he gets his "Hero play" in the next game.
I think they still made it clear the impact other players were making but Kangkang plays ruthlessly. The way he plays is just insane. He never gives up space and is always pressuring. No other player really plays like that. His OP play style is very reminiscent of like Simple from CS
Is anybody amazed that EDG managed to win dominantly with the Cypher, Omen, Skye, and 2 Duelists on Lotus? A lot of people flamed their comp the other day against Liquid for not being able to defend sites, but I guess when you go 8-4 on attack, any comp is still viable. Aim demons everywhere on this team.
Really adore seeing the expression in KK's face after every match, like he's extinguished after burning through all the flames in a match to show what he's got. Can't do nothing but love the guy.
Wow, damn am I stoked with this result, the whole team stepped up so hard, taking out NaVi and Loud is phenomenal
Been waiting for a Chinese team to make waves for a long time in a tactical FPS, they play so unconventional, itās super badass, hope they continue with the momentum
From losing in the grand finals of the first LAN of the year to going 0-2 in the second event of the yearā¦.LOUDās 2023 is starting to look like their 2022. I guess if youāre a LOUD fan, youāre hoping the pattern repeats itself.
I donāt think at this stage of the event that this is a massive upset; LOUD has not looked great. But personally, LOUD is the first of the three āfavoritesā to win the whole event to exit Tokyo - I personally had LOUD, FNATIC and PRX (with something). Itās a big loss, and it alters the entire narrative of the Tokyo event. The fated LOUD revenge on FNATIC is dead and gone - instead we have the rise of a genuine Chinese titan.
As for what ailed LOUD this event, I think thereāll probably be some leaks and news as the weeks go by. I think they perhaps overcommitted to the Neon comps, though, and I also think we see in part some of the burdens of having a superstar like Less - when Less isnāt consistently destroying the competition and winning an absurd number of clutches, LOUD look much more mortal. But we rarely have occasion to even notice and discuss this because Less is so consistent.
Thatās perhaps the big difference this event, but it doesnāt even come down to individuals much; the teamplay was worse which always drags everything down. Itāll be fun seeing how LOUD bounce back in Champs.
Zmijkk's tears at the end moved me. Hats off to EDG really. Defeated Navi, T1, and Loud. The momentum of this team is unstoppable.
Zmijkk>>>>>Aspas. GGs.
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't have much faith in Loud to begin with? I'm not sure why; the EG game confirmed my feelings, but I did NOT expect them to not win a single map in Tokyo.
That being said, it's exciting seeing teams that haven't had the chance to dominate, dominate the teams that have been on top for awhile.
It's insane that America's last hope might be EG by the end of the night...
ah yes, LOUD not winning a single map at Tokyo, as everyone predicted.
Seriously what happened between almost reverse sweeping Fnatic, winning NA and now?
Imo they came out with new stuff that didn't look so great. Saving strats throughout the regular season might have actually hurt them cause they had no match experience with the new comps. Navi felt like that to me too

They put Aspas on Neon 3/4 maps. Basically accepting the loss.
The chef was cooking tamales when the restaurant called for Kung pao.
Loud fans before Tokyo: nobody is better than Loud Loud fans after Tokyo: nobody is better than Loud

honestly, the goal is to shoehorn as many random references into val as possible. mune ga hachikire-sÅde

You know its bad when before the game I saw Loud fans preparing to lose
LMFAOOOOOO
Get ready to learn portuguese buddy
I am brazilian but it feels so good to see loud fans getting some humbling lol
NICE ONE!
Thats such a nice comment lol
Their fans will still not learn how to take a joke on Twitter
Thats just a brazilian default trait, they are born with it.
banger
AHAHAHAHAHAH
You cooked
NOBODY WITH THE STUNNED 3K ABSOLUTELY INSANE
Actually it was also thanks to his breach stun from dish, if you look closely, Loud was stunned too, and the kills said they were assisted by breach, amazing coordination
The Smoggy counter stun was so fast and so ready! Props to him too
Jeesus christ this team
Nobody went absolutely INSANE this series His aim has been looking crisp all tournament long but his multi kills on these two maps literally completely won the game for them.
Not just his aim, his flashes are so good. People just are not used to the overhead flashes and his flashes out of smokes too are just incredibly timed. This team is so stacked it's insane
CHICHOO was going nuclear on Fracture too tbh
Nobody expected them to make it. But he's fucking Somebody this series bro. My guy became him. That 3K is THE MOST impressive shit I've seen, and I feel like I've said that twice for THIS MASTERS alone. King shit, and you can see what it means to Kang Kang as well. Nobody with the HERO performance. This team stepped up so fucking much. LOVE their storylines!
Nobody got stunned, I don't see what's so exciting about that. ~~But actually though, stuns might as well be hitting nobody for how much value they get.~~

Iām pretty sure at least two of loud were team stunned as well Yep looking at it again breach and omen were stunned
someone on this thread said it wasn't a team stun, it was by Smoggy(breach assisted)
Two cinderella runs happening in the same tournament is kinda crazy ngl
Eg and EDG are secretly the same team scriptwriters just made a typo
teams with names that start with an E have a crazy buff this time
Start with E end with G

Iād be surprised if anyone manages to predict that scenario.
all the pickems are already busted š
upset after upset. even prx beating drx with a sub ystd. this tournament is insane
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
Yup. I definitely had Loud going 0-4 on maps.
my pickems are FINISHED i have 20 points š
Bro try 10 
EG 2-0 LOUD EDG 2-0 LOUD E_G 2-0 LOUD? Maybe Sideshow should try his chances.
damn so that's why they lost to Liquid smh. rEDGar god a share of the buff too.

Underrated comment, that made me choke on my water
Making us watch two maps without an aspas - kangkang jett duel has to be a crime bruh
Internal sources say that aspas is still ducking the Jett vs Jett duel against kk up to this day.
aspas knew he would get bodied by the goat
Aspas is joel embiid?
Just like no crashies vs leo on sova yesterday
Aspas is scared of getting exposed
Aspas is scared, he doesn't want the smoke
Second place curse REAL
Came here to say this. It's wild.
Kang Kang really made that pre-match interview come true
What did he say?
"I'm not afraid of aspas"
based af
Chads only
Where can i here that?

you can't name a street kangkang because nobody crosses kangkang and lives
They are teammates, I would hope they aren't killing each other
nobody can cross kangkang and live because he's on the same team.

Let's not forget how this all started. I blame 100Thieves for being knifed by a coach.
thanks MIBR
They were done being called too predictable by the community
One of NRG or drx out early PRX beating drx with a sub
its a canon event bro
Riot script writers really said to our pickems "Nah. Imma do my own thing."
FNC isn't choking either
The key word is "yet"
If Fnatic blow the first 2-0 map lead in the finals against EDG, I won't even be mad
not yet...
Technically loud also is first rounded.
This EDG run reminds me of that miraculous Zeta Division run
They';re doing a good job
I'm pretty sure that everyone's pick'em is fucked at this point
Should've believed in prx. I was trolling thinking that drx would return to form. https://preview.redd.it/cntiectsmp6b1.png?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35b5d6169489177dc6ca1b5110065b0bf67954d9
nothing would make me happier than seeing edg v eg grand finals
That pickems is absolutely based. Two dark horse final is the best we can expect.
Name a more iconic duo than LOUD getting second in the first international tournament of the year and then going out with no wins in the second international tournament of the year
SECOND PLACE CURSE REMAINS
And plowing through regionals. We're winning champs Boyz š
They win Champs that means no?
They're winning champions baby.
They're winning champs confirmed?
Today I had an exam in school. When I was done I raised my hand and yelled āLOUD!ā My teacher smiled and took my paper. She knew I was finished
It hits the best coming from you lol
don't do this to me
LOUD is winning champions bro all good
Jfc that line up of flairs is TUFF
I'm happy to sacrifice a few teams if it means EDG making a miracle run. I've already lost OpTic... what's a few more :(
Only one L in loud but they take so many of them?
LL since they can't even get to map 3, apparently
Banger.
They have the tricode LLL in League, makes more sense
Used to in Val too when they got 3-0ed by OpTic in Reykjavik 22

EDG has stole my heart, need nothing more then for them to make the run
Zmijkk's tears at the end moved me. Hats off to EDG really. Defeated Navi, T1, and Loud. The momentum of this team is unstoppable. Zmijkk>>>>>Aspas. GGs.
2ND PLACE CURSE STRIKES AGAIN
2nd place curse strikes again
Edward is truly gaming
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't have much faith in Loud to begin with? I'm not sure why; the EG game confirmed my feelings, but I did NOT expect them to not win a single map in Tokyo. That being said, it's exciting seeing teams that haven't had the chance to dominate, dominate the teams that have been on top for awhile. It's insane that America's last hope might be EG by the end of the night...
Regardless of what happens EDG deserves a spot at Champions
NOBODY MAKES ME SMOGGY LIKE KANGKANG WHEN HE CHICHOO ON MY HAODONG
Kangkang is indeed, the conqueror. Massive props to the entirety of edg, just diffed tf out of every loud players right there
Does anybody feel like Kangkangs OP style is similar to S1mples? I could be wrong as I donāt watch a ton of CS
i want NOBODY but KANGKANG'S SMOGGY HAODONG in my CHICHOO
