Hans Niemann is legitimate top 10 right now. Discuss.

this is pretty awesome if he and magnus will have some death matches lol

I'm curious about whether they shake hands before their match Friday. I'm going to predict no.

honestly i think hes 8th right now his falco is really good he even beat jmook the other day with a 4 stock included

From what I'm understanding they play in the same room but on computers. So they'll physically be in the same place but still playing online.

And it WILL get a lot of attention because it's the final 4 of the best online blitz players in the world but more importantly it's Magnus vs Hans with all the drama surrounding it.

Edit

Ok, might have done.

thanks

Tomorrow's the big match. The schedule says Magnus and Hans play at 1130 pdt so I'm figuring that's 230 eastern U.S. time, am I right about that? I can't miss watching this match, it's like the superbowl or watching Duke in the ncaa tournament for me.

Waiting for more backlash as I have my popcorn ready with me.

Come on guys let us get this party started.

Yeehaaa. Of course I think The Magster will win and I'm predicting about a 70% to 30% score but if Hans can score 40% I think it'll be a big success for him.

Who cares about drama... they will play and one of them will win. The End.

I don't like him but you can't deny facts or results.
We'll see if he can do something against Magnus ^^

I hope he surprises everyone and pulls the win with Magnus. 👍😛

I hope Magnus isn't gonna be lame and refuse to play.

👍🤣

lol no argument there

The last interview I saw of Magnus talking about the matchup he sounded like he was going to play, he gave no hint of backing out of the match. He said something like if he plays well he should win.

Allegedly.

Nobody has provided ANY PROOF that Hans cheated, or how, in that OTB game though...

But I'm sure it all makes for good box office. They could probably have sold twice the amount of tickets for this match!

I'd really love to be there live but the online coverage will probably be good too. I'm really interested in the pre match stuff going on. Any hateful looks? Handshake maybe? Will they avoid each other completely? After the match, etc. All that stuff.

The venue is sold out and it's limited by fire safety rules, so no they couldn't have sold even one more ticket.
