EMEA Play in 1st day

Thoughts on the first tier 2 region clash in a long time? Anything unexpected? I almost nailed my pickems so I'm glad to say my initial level assertion for each team was decently accurate

It does not matter, memea won't win anything in the next 10 years

Everything as expected. Only diamant choke was noteworthy.

I did nail the pickem for that group but I had no idea who was gonna go through in the map diff

R8 got done super dirty
fk riot

Im in love with the production ngl
Seeing it (respectfully) on some more high level games compared to regular polaris season is super nice and it holds up so well

And ye not too many upsets
Had Dia getting out of their group as first... unlucky ig
Group b going as expected (im a mena hater apparently, but I wasnt gonna have Polaris go out winless)
And group c (at least atm, unless Novo do some crazy stuff now) is going as expected

So hyped to have these inter regional matches more often next year

I'm ngl I think r8 would have won in normal conditions. Props to SNS tho, they're playing well

Where would you have ranked r8 in the playin stage?

Compared to all teams.

I have been told to be a mena hater (and racist) but so far my assessment hasnt been proven wrong yet.

Why wasn't it normal conditions I missed the match

Simondark didn't make it home from the MENA finals and had to play from a Cafe. And it got worse overtime so they even had to play the last map with the coach instead

Only better than Novo PPP and SNS imo

But I do rate FLC's as a very solid team

nah
Coach played instead of r8 star player
+they had a little time after their flight and grand finals so players probably were really tired
