Noor & His Implication on Pro Play

With the addition of Noor for next season, how much of a perma-ban do you see this being for teams? For a team like Shopify, a lot of their attacks rely on Canadian entering as a Montagne or a Blitz to gain information, which Noor completely counters. Any team that utilizes shield play will either have to waste a ban to get him off the board, or risk their shields becoming extremely vulnerable. I think this operator has the chance to completely change how teams attack. Another player that has been using a lot of shields is Anitun, and even though CAG found some success at EWC they might have to change some more to properly adapt to the inclusion of Noor. How do you guys this Noor will impact pro league next stage?

For anyone that just finished watching Element 2026, THE CRUCIBLE has just returned to NA T2 to likely host the most exciting T2 tournament we have seen in a while with some T1 teams participating.

For anyone unfamiliar, THE CRUCIBLE was a T2/T3 tournament last hosted early 2025, which was won by M80X with Stompn as his first official "T3 tournament" alongside Aidentax, VicBands, Franklin, and Ryce.

They have now returned and so far invited teams include:

-ForFun Esports

-Five Fears

-Blackjack

-Packrunners

+ 2 more T1/T2 teams (they are waiting for the reveal of two north american league rosters before confirming the full lineup (likely outlast is one of them))

Additionally, 6 teams will qualify through open qualifiers to compete in this tournament. The reason this is a big deal is that we rarely get to see T1 and T2 teams compete against each other like this (the last tournament like this I can think of was Wildcard Restart), and it really helped shine some light on the T2 players, and showcase just how good they can be. Not to mention, we will get to see Mingo on controller compete against tier 1 pros in a competitive environment.

This tournament will likely be an insanely fun watch. I'll try and do recaps in here if possible too!

Good afternoon,

As some of you may have seen, Team Dyavoli has been disqualified from all EML Challenger Circuit tournaments (see the announcement below). As a result, all of their matches will be recorded as forfeits.

We also apologize for the late change, but the League Stage will now proceed with 5 teams instead of 6.

Thank you for your understanding.

"Team Dyavoli has been disqualified from all EML Challenger Circuit Tournaments and all circuit points revoked as a result of a successful investigation into 2 of their players.

REAP and Shallmar have both received 2 year competitive bans which prohibits them from taking part in any official Ubisoft Tournament and BLAST related Tournaments such as Challenger Series and SI LCQ's.

TWC Extra might be the slowest attacking team ever. Blackjack despite having some of the worst defense setups ever still managed to pull off a win!

Blackjack's growth has surprised me so much. I watched them in open quals and at first they reminded me of yurrr, always yelling at each other and giving up after every round lost. This game they played composed and actually showcased so much teamwork. Franklin is doing an amazing job leading these guys and helping give this team organization. They even managed to pull 6 round wins in a row to win the game after being down 1-3. Skys' return unfortunately was overshadowed by Blackjack's performance, especially Mingo showing that the gap between controller and MNK isn't as drastic as people make it out to be. Also props to Yleqi for playing very well despite the struggles his team faced.

Cloud 9 (a team who has earned around 14 million dollars within esports) is looking for an nonsalaried analyst! (do not blame the r6 players/staff)

It's sad that an organization of this size is paying to little that their analysts are only relying on prize money for any source of income. I understand C9 has been on the downturn but as a partner org this is just sad behavior. I feel bad for the players and staff, cause why would you even bother trying when your organization cares so little that they won't even provide you enough pay to give your analyst a salary. We should reserve partner positions for orgs that are willing to support their players heavily and want to build successful rosters, not orgs looking for a skin check.

This should be a position that is funded by the org, and it's sad that they care so little that the r6 division are being forced to search for unpaid analysts.
