What is real life?

I'm so confused on how good TL is. I thought that VIT was really good going into this and now Liquid is making them look like a mid-tier team. Is liquid really good? Is EMEA just not good? IS VIT overrated? Is this a parallel universe? Everything is very unclear.

This is why I love kickoff tournaments. So many unexpected wins and losses, and teams can prove themselves or fall apart.

TL is master in winning regional and fluking international.
They look pretty solid rn but lets see if they continue like that throught bankok.

TL is good, very good.

VIT needs these kind of matches to prove themselves, you can't aspire to win everything just because your roster has excelent aimers. TL currently proving that.

My point was VIT was only using firepower to win, but thats not enough in an international event, if you cant beat an "only firepower team" they you are not good. So to me every EMEA team where kinda "bad" (They have a huge room for improvement and I trust EMEA to be strong in Chmapions, but today we are trash)
TL is just the only EMEA team that have a gameplan and are able to use it, every other EMEA team have absolutely no idea of what they do (TH picking Abyss even if they are catastrophic on it is a huge proof of that), so they are ahead averyone else, but I'm not really sure TL could beat a team like MIBR, LOUD or KRU, making 5 AMER team ahead of the top 1 (I'm an AMER hater, and EMEA fan, but let's be honest, this doesn't sound good)

Yeah, I do think Americas is looking like the strongest region so far, but its hard to tell before any international play. It does seem like SEN and G2 are way ahead in terms of having both firepower and good teamplay, so it'll be interesting to see how much the rest of the regions can improve and show out going into Bangkok.

It's true, we can never be sure a region is truly bad while we dont see comparison, we can only assume based on how good the team look. Maybe EMEA team are just amazing to break other team gameplan and make them look like a fool. (BUt I dont think chance ar that high)

TL is good but I wouldn't say great yet, TH just played like absolute shit, I think we'll have to wait until bangkok to know fs

Yeah its so difficult to know what is real. I think that TH can still be good but are not up to form right now. I currently have liquid in my third tier of teams for all of VCT, around the level of teams like Trace and GENG

I don't like this argument. Better seeding is big because getting a win in the first round of the swiss stage is huge. Also, the extra championship point, and getting the kickoff trophy are both good reasons for teams to try

1 point in championnship isnt a lot, winning should grant mush more point to continue to motivate people

1 win isnt gonna be huge because ur gonna fight better teams anyways and most likely lose and go down in 1-1 bracket

same thing happened w/ kc last year, they had an easy opponent and had to fight 2 godly teams and lost

1 win is definitely huge, cause you can then afford to lose a game. If you go into G2 round 1 and lose, you then have to win both of your next two games, at least one of which will be against a very strong team.
