NA Ascension

Is it just me or did MxS just have the most free run for a slot in VCT Americas Ascension. Do not get me wrong I was team MxS all the way (except for oderus who is dragging the team a bit) and I would love to see them make it. But I feel their luck is crazy right now. From wedid being out on DarkZero Esports bringing them way down for very unfortunate reason and I hope he gets better soon, to M80 beating Oxg who is notorious for beating MxS in head to heads. I also think with DarkZero Esports being out Oxg is probably the best team in and will take that second slot. Now I know M80 is no joke but with the nitr0 swap to neT I feel they have been a bit worse overall. I think MxS have been gifted a crazy opportunity that I hope they don't choke is all. I know most people do not follow T2 but let me know what y'all think.

TLDR: MxS been gifted a good opportunity with DarkZero Esports out and Oxg in lowers

most free run for an Ascension event ever, same with DSG

DSG had a more free run imo

I don't think it's a free run at all. It's a shame that DZ are out, but OXG and M80 can still give them a genuine run for their money (there is a lower bracket in playoffs so it's not like MXS are guaranteed to win). Also even then there's still the best teams from LATAM and Brazil to take into account—a lot of people aren't considering them at all, which is pretty wild to me.

they arent considering them due to the na tier 2 teams being able to scrim the t1 teams

I have not followed DSG but I also assume competition is far less competitive since the regions are so divided up

Facts it is just to skewed

I get that but so far it has been free and they only need one match to qual which increase their chances 10 fold

yep. I would argue that RVT also had a free run, but imo, there was just no competition at all when I watched DSG's playoffs run

No, they still have to play m80 and then potentially rematch OXG in lowers so that’s still hard plus m80 with net is a direct upgrade not even close to a downgrade
