shade when he is fucking around is definitely worse than nursey you are correct, but when shade actually wants to win, he is still the better medic.

>drops 3 times to yomps' spy on final map of ESEA GF

I think they mean over phorofor

muma vs hass
paddie(on roamer) vs blaze
phorofor vs nursey
tlr vs paddie

Its a winning team in every change vs their i58 roster
should be a great LAN all around gonna be some intense competition

its a spy wtf are you supposed to do about bullshit mechanics like that

froyotech is obviously gonna win.
se7en isn't really that good plus I'll be damned if ams wins a big lan
blaze + freestate will thoroughly mulch any hope of existence in the flank

Yeah when shade tries he's incredible, but when he doesn't try he's obviously not, but that's the thing, he's not actually trying so people are spitting rhetoric manipulated by his former success

I think it's really hard to compare medics that are somewhat close in skill unless you've played with both of them.

" spitting rhetoric manipulated by his former success" wtf lol people are saying he's the better medic because he's better.

Of course, but there's no reason to have a panic attack when someone makes a judgement on a literal prediction thread lol

That was more directed at the people who keep replying to you who haven't played with nursey and shade.

I mean, I think it's kind of a silly argument to have in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong, but since a medic's overall skill has very little relation to stats it seems to me that it's lot harder to compare one medic to another. Especially since a lot of their impact is based on their calls and minute decisions they make ingame that are pretty hard to notice unless you're playing with them.

I'm sure corsa has played with both, that's why I said his opinion is more informed, but it seems the smoke and mirrors of froyo's obvious dominance has shaped his tight opinion, also he's being a sassy shit about it

sounds like you're basing your predictions off some sort of grudge because AMS is one of the best soldiers in the world right now

I also think its important to note the fact that shade has played at like 15 lans (including 4 internationals, 2 of which he won) whereas Nursey, to my knowledge, has literally never played on lan or at least not at any lan that actually matters. From what I understand Nursey also has tons of anxiety issues, which combined with her lack of experience on lan I don't think her underperforming would be out of the question.

Im not at all trying to suggest that Nursey is going to choke, im just saying that if you're debating which medic would be better for froyo to have at lan i'd personally rather have the player who has been there before that is pretty much guaranteed to play well, rather than a player who has never been proven on lan and strikes me as a bit of nervous wreck. Even if you believe that Nursey IS the better medic right now(I personally wouldn't say that but just for argument's sake), I don't think her lack of experience vs. Shade proving multiple times that he's more than capable of performing at an international lan is something that should be ignored and I would still take shade.

Obviously this argument means nothing because Nursey is the one that will be playing regardless. I just thought this would be appropriate for a prediction/discussion thread.

You're arguing that Shade is better than Nursey but shade doesnt try therefore Nursey is better? I would agree with that for online matches because shade has very little incentive to put in 100% effort, but not in the case of this tournament about which this thread is discussing. Unless you're suggesting that shade would show up to an international lan and not try?

Any of my problems involving anxiety disappeared ~9 months ago (which is why I got a job much easier now than years prior). My main goal for this LAN is to prove I'm capable enough to be the best medic in the game. Hopefully after LAN we'll see if I have what it takes.

I was unaware of that, im happy to hear it. Like I said, my post is just for discussion of a hypothetical situation in which both froyo meds would be available to take to lan and is based on my own opinions and biases.I hope I didnt come off too critical. Best of luck!

B4nny gonna win #FirstplaceB4nny

habib autodet stickies on 0 ping... yikes

Why aren't se7en good?

And why can't AMS win a big LAN? Everyone knows his talent is sizeable. Everyone.
