CLG are on point. Denial is going to get checked by a top tier team. CLG don't drop games.

They're definitely going to feel the pain, but it'll be good practice for them at least :3

 

[curiouscharles]

this is going to be incredible - can't wait to see what Denial can pull out against the CLG machine.

 

[rrc1594]

When's KI?

 

[Doge]

Perhaps I need to modify my rankings but I still see denial as a teir C team.

Teir A: CLG, EG, ALG
Teir B: RNG and liquid
Teir C: denial and the rest.

The way denial has been playing, they're ALG, EG tier. CLG is on a tier of their own.

 

[Strider]

I hope Denial can at least keep it close. It's awesome that team made it this far.

 

[FATstronaut]

WE HOLLYWOOD NOW!

 

[op_ivy]

The way denial has been playing, they're ALG, EG tier. CLG is on a tier of their own.

It's tough because I see allegiance as a team that can drop to anyone. Iirc, denial hasn't looked great in scrims. RNG is so hit and miss. I can see moving allegiance and denial both to teir b and it was just denials day to advance.

So,

Teir A, CLG, EG
Teir B, RNG, LIQUID, DENIAL, ALLEGIANCE
Teir C, optic, triggers pound, envyus, etc.

 

[belushy]

Tiers, eh?

Top Tier - CLG
2nd tier - EG, Allegiance
3rd tier - RNG, Denial, Liquid
4th tier - Triggers Pound
"How did they even get here" tier - Noble

From what I've seen Denial's decision making is superior to RNG and Liquid.

I know the data sample is small, but I think the fact that they took down ALG and Liquid puts them in the elite class... Also, Their coaching has been phenominal.

On another note, I think it's time we stop trying to use scrims to determine how people will perform under pressure...

 

[Strider]

Not even sure if RNG belongs in the Liquid tier anymore (

There's time to improve before Worlds though.

 

[Slightly Live]

The cringe worthy fluffy filler talk on the stream is downright embarrassing.

The audio issues were real

I would agree but remember that RNG was stomping on Liquid at X-Games and the last Qualifier. I think both teams are each other's kryptonite.

Denial has been on a roll during this weekend. If this weekend wasn't a fluke at all for them, they're literally on a tier equivalent to ALG and EG. CLG though is a different story. They don't drop games.

They certainly shot up my own rankings. Such a new squad too. Huke has only been playing h5 for 2 months!? Jesus.

This feels great. Puckett at the announcer's table for the finals at an amazing tournament.

What is KI and why is everyone in chat talking about it

I mean denial beat liquid and alg...

Didn't they drop a game to Noble? But I agree of course, CLG is a tier of its own

It's such a crazy stat. It's annoying though how people try to use it as an argument for "no skill gap", "CoD is better" smh.

 

[Welfare]

Killer Instinct. The Arbiter is a guest character for the game's third season and we should be seeing a trailer for him.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Live stream and I'm watching pros use radar stealth and bait tactics. Lovin It.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Grand Finals time baby oh yeah!

 

[Doge]

I honestly don't recall, but if they did, then dang. But CLG is still in a tier of their own. They are just so consistent.

 

[op_ivy]

I mean denial beat liquid and alg...

Right, the question is would they consistently do so? Scrims say no. Id currently place them in the same teir as in they are close teams but should get shit on by an upper teir team.

CLG is not a teir of their own. THEY JUST LOST TO EG AT XGAMES. I'd certainly say they are better than EG, but not hugely so.

 

[curiouscharles]

CLG too strong, just too damn strong.

Oh wow that was obvious. Should be awesome

 

[IHaveIce]

CLG is unbeatable in those Gametypes in this series.

 

[Strider]

Halo channel took down restrictions for caps and emotes guys

 

[Samurai G0SU]

CLG just decimated EG

Good.

Even though roy is sick as fuck. Clg has impressed me the most.

Go clg!

But denial gonna do the upset. Lol......

 

[Stinkles]

The cringe worthy fluffy filler talk on the stream is downright embarrassing.

To be fair, it's exactly the same league as all sports filler talk, but with fewer clichés.

EG barely pulled the W. EG drops more games than CLG. CLG just RIPPED through EG. The best EG could do is tie a game. EG is so inconsistent. CLG is far more consistent. I don't even like CLG, but to think EG is on par with them is silly.

 

[FATstronaut]

YES!!!! KI!!!!

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

O:

 

[blamite]

Awwww, they couldn't get Keith David? :/

 

[Welfare]

That was amazing!

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

That was awesome

 

[Chittagong]

I can't help but root for Denial, such young team and great rise

 

[Loomba]

I don't even play KI, I just want a Sanghelios map

 

[Poodlestrike]

Awwww, they couldn't get Keith David? :/

Yeah, but on the other hand,

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS COOOOL

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Arbiter!! Can't wait.

Woo Frankie let's gooooooo!

BuBu take my DuBu is the best thing to hit Twitch since Bob Ross Kappa.

Shocked we aren't pegged to get a February Update trailer.

Saving for the livestream I guess but this would be a perfect time to show it.

 

[singhr1]

Both the stage and the arbiter are fucking amazing.

I don't think they are on par. I picked clg to win. CLG should win. But I wouldn't bet money against EG. So I place them in the same teir. I don't think liquid picks up a ton of games over renegades (audio issues aside) yet I put them in the same teir too. I suppose this is just arguing semantics with the teir talk, if I actually ranked the teams ID probably largely get agreement.
