TCG is doing incredible with the new comp. Its sad that CM actually ended up losing a game when they ran a direct counter to TCG’s comp. I actually think TCG could’ve won if they didn’t lose the midpoint in that last game. I feel like they overextend too much unnecessarily and then don’t make fast enough recoveries. Overall though TCG is still the best team in the game(seriously, look closely at the teamwork…just wow). Nothing on NA even compares in terms of pure skill, the Abjured won’t stand a chance in next WTS, not even with the cheesiest comp in the game.

LOL the abjured beat them with subs, and a not optimized comp……. The Abjured is worlds ahead of any EU team… TCG cant even beat CM, u expect them to beat Abjured>? lol gl hf

it will be ugly at the next WTS, i promise

Optimized comp? They changed 1 player around and I highly doubt Nos will be a large presence when he dies in 10s due to triple Zerker. At first WTS TCG had barely practiced in comparison to the Abjured and NA only really won because of timer, we don’t know how that 5th game could’ve went. Now that TCG has changed their comp and is in practice there’s no way NA is going to win. WTS is definitely going to be ugly Backpack..

In terms of CM, honestly that team is just lame. They counter comp every single team they can’t beat. Literally every other game they completely change classes.

I have to agree with Backpack. The Abjured look unstoppable. Even thought EU is looking strong I just don’t think any team atm can beat The Abjured. DoD might have a chance they did beat The Absurd but they have to work kitten out or The Abjured is just going to keep collecting their free weekly bonuses lol. Enjoy the easy money ppl.

too bad that CM did not played vs Abjured. Would like to see that.

I also am curious about DoD. Do they have enough time and will to challenge Abjured at the finals?

I think you’d all be surprised what a small nerf to the celestial classes would do for the Abjured vs TCG matchup.

I also think that what Abjured brought to the last WTS with OE instead of Nos was stronger vs TCG than what this round will be.

If Helseth and Sizer bring their A-game, I think TCG will win.

I said this on stream but I really was surprised by DoD’s performance as I think they are better than what they showed in the finals vs The Abjured. Lots of good players on that team. Im hoping they stay together and keep working on their chemistry and develop a rivalry with the Abjured.

I will never count out TCG as well, as that team is always dangerous.

For the sake of the scene though, more top teams are def needed.

I was also surprised at a few points in the dod vs abjured, I would say dod should look into replacing two of their members…. one of them in particular just didn’t look like he was having the best night.

With that said TCG looked better, their comp gets so many kills but gets beat out because of conquest. But abjured looked ridiculous absolutely ridiculous no way anyone beats them.

Lol the abjured babysits noscoc hardcore, if you think the abjured is going to win while running noscoc as terrormancer you better think again because it will be hard to babysit a necromancer vs a mesmer-thief duo. They were better off with ostrich eggs.

I believe you are projecting your own struggles as a necromancer onto others.

No actually it’s just speculation from watching their streams all the time. I don’t struggle while playing terrormancer, but just as a terrormancer counters an engineer, a thief-mesmer comp will counter a necromancer way too easily.

So two classes to counter one? Sounds like a win for abjured to me….

There’s already some evidence for this. TCG scrimmed against Abjured before WTS 1 and results were mixed. Noscoc did get bursted some, but seeing him troll TCG with flesh worm and spectral walk was amazing to watch. It was actually one of those rare times where it didn’t feel either side had a significant comp advantage, and it purely came down to who executed better.

Hahaha even … On EU servers

When TCG came to NA right after WTS they got 10-0ed by abjureds new comp on NA servers

Id personally disagree specifically in regards to replacing members on DoD. I think too many teams lose 1 high profile match and then shake things up way too fast instead of practicing more together and trying to develop chemistry. What makes TCG and Abjured so dominant is the fact that their rosters have played together in some capacity for a long time. I heard DoD didn’t get much practice time due to some players being busy during the holidays. That might explain why some players looked rusty when playing against one of the best teams in the world atm.

In terms of the TCG vs Abjured debate, we’ll have to see. TCG seems to be facing tougher competition from 55HP and CM then what Abjured has faced thus far. Looking forward to watching the NA and EU casts this sunday!

I know what your saying about the chemistry but really TCG is the only team that’s been playing together for an extended period of time. When you look at NA those top 3 teams all have players that have competed, played, or practiced with each other a lot.
