Who cars?

EZ FOR TGRD 2-0

NA In shambles

XIA 2-1 GUARD

what riot, why are there the opportunity for 2 teams from the same region to already face each other in the first playoffs match?

xerxia 2-0 guard

XERXIA/OPTIC 2 x 0 GUARD

Why? The Guard will have a slow start. XERXIA and OPTIC are both incredible teams, both can win against GUARD here, but I'm certain that even if they lose they can come back in lowers though.

OpTiC 2-1 Guard
LOUD 2-0 Liquid
DRX 2-1 PRX
G2 2-0 NIP/ZETA

TGRD 2-1 OPTIC

man...
one of the NA teams is guaranteed to go to lowers after the first round. assuming optic even makes it.

XIA 2 1 TGRD

Praying the Xerxia makes it playoffs or else NA is just done for

TGRD 2-0 XIA

.

TGRD 2-1 XIA

i hope Optic looses against xerxia because i don't wan't to see an NA vs NA match

Xerxia 2-1 Guard

ayaya

Optic look absolutely terrible right now - sloppy game for XIA, whatever the controversy might be - also a super messy bind against KRU & a much better ascent, but KRU did not look anywhere near what they did at previous events.

XIA likely win that rematch today, and either way, Guard should be beating either.

LAN debut however, might be rough.

Guard 2-1 XIA

optic 2-1 guard

#StandGuard

Guard 2-0 xia

TGRD 2-1 XIA

Xerxia 2-1

XERXIA 2-1 TGRD

XERXIA is NA"s kryptonite
EMEA Teams is XERXIA's kryptonite

Ooh-Ooh Ooh-Ooh

however tf w this match…
if xia win optc yeah its APAC v NA again?
and if optc win xia is NA rematch again?
rito messed up their master’s brackets again.

XIA 2-1

XIA completely destroys all of NA hopes and dreams.

Whoever is against guard should win
I hate the guard for what they did to my team and I bet 200% that the guard won’t win this masters.

Could be NA vs NA Rito what are you doing

XIA 2-0 TG or TG 2-1 OPTC

so we having NA vs NA wtf

Guard 2-0

guard 2x0

Either way TGRD/OPTC 2-1

Na vs na?

Early NA vs NA again :(

Ah shit here we go again

OPTIC 2-0 #GREENWALL DONT TRIP FAM

guard 2-1 🥺

lesgo rematch optic 2-0 maybe 2-1 if their feeling nice

na win

Kinda sucks for The Guard that they come to an international tournament and their first match up is against OpTic. I wanna see this team against international competition, not a fucking regional match up.

Guard 2-1 Optic, Optic with lower bracket run

Guard 2-1 Optic

this seeding putting two NA teams against each other first round of playoffs is crazy boring tho, even if it’s a rematch

Yay cant 1v5 now trust
2-0 ez guard

ez for NA :D

man OPTC/XER should have been seeded to G2 and NIP/ZETA to here. Why the 2 na teams playing first round?

Playoff reseeding to avoid regional match-ups would have been nice.

.

only way for NA to reach the semifinals

optic 2-0

OK WTF IS THIS SEEDING

lets go guard

Guard 2-0 Fraudtic Laming

why would they have this seeding lol

Optic 2-0 Guard

Optic has LAN experience from before, also pretty sure they weren't aware that the qualifier finals would have given them a by. Still feel like it will be a very close match up.

OG 2-1 TGRD

optic is rly seems bad, i feel like fast 2/0 for the Guard

is same region vs same region even possible?

they don't want to see us succeed

braindead format

braindead scheduling

go fuck yourself riot

Hahaha na omegalul

Guard 2-1 Optic
why is it na vs na lame...

Guard 2-1 OpTic

for sure this will go for Optic. Guard won't make it in their first LAN game.

Optic 2-0 or maybe 2-1. Optic is looking warmed up compared to Guard who have yet to play a map on lan but only time will tell

SADGE xerxia not here but i think 2-1 optic

2-0 ez for the guard

The only thing that i'm worried about is the lack of LAN experience from The Guard, besides that, i think they can go really far this tournament

Banger match!!!
The Gaurd at international stage.
Lets goo!

NA DERBY hyped

To have any hope for the future of NA guard needs to win

How much yall wanna bet that The Guard is gonna panic.

Guard 2-0

it's Trent time

BANGER!! i think Optic will be more prepared this time but could go either way. Deserves another Map 3 !

2-1 or 2-0 on optic

OPTC 2-1

I think the NA team wins here

2-1 optic, guard have a free win on icebox tho so wouldnt be surprised if they win

Never seen NA lose these!

Idk but tgrd will win

NA is so lucky with the brackets again…
they got a guaranteed spot in the semis

I am 100% confident that NA wins these.

TGRD 1-2 OPTC

Guard 2-1 Optic

Guard will change all their comps and Optic will struggle to adapt

Optic 2-1 Guard

2-1 TGRD

Could go either way. I definitely favor Optic from a betting perspective though. They have better odds and I still think they are the better team despite losing that last bo5

optic 2-0

2-0 OG

optic 2-0

stax : optic will win

optic 2-0

El diablo online

Well Yay is awake. GG

El Diablo showing up on Holly Friday

Oh that was disgusting from Yay

Crashies actually a picie of shit for not killing the last guy. Like wtf, Yay gave you 1 sec advantage.

Marved another piece of shit for throwing that round. WTF

Marved, your payment is on the way

Wtf is this rush mid all game type of strat??????

yay this guy is way over the top

OG against The Guard in matches that matter versus seeding matches. Looks like upper bracket final optic is back.

9-3 curse copium?????

Marved so cringe man

Theguard onliners LUL

I knew OpTic gonna win this 100%

They have already have beaten TGRD with a 2-0 and lost a close match with a 2-3, let's just call that last map a fluke.

The suckers

yay 38% hs while most of the rounds he plays op damn man this guy is too good.

DRX also lost their map pick and did a reverse sweep. Guard can pull this off. No way they choke on playoffs

Optix 2-0 hopiummmm

The Guard BatChest

optic troll comps.... either no duelist or neon LMAOOOO

What is that haven comp lol

mce is talking to his team the whole tact timeout while chet is like (-_-)

optic guys just peeking 1 by 1 to a chamber ult

lol Optic got 50% win rate on Fracture while Guard is 100%. Too free for Sayaplayer

FNS, you are not FNX!!!!!

yay no kill = optic lose HAHAHA NOOBS

yikes Optic needs to grind aimlab more. The number of times they lost a rifle vs pistol duel is crazy

FNS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

EVERY GAME THAT GUARD PLAYS AND HE POPS OFF I GET REMINDED THAT T1 MADE SAYA CHANGE HIS NAME TO SPYDER AND THEN JUST DROPPED HIM OMEGA-FUCKING-LUL

winning against us is a cringe comp - Bot Singh

Can't believe optic threw this, there goes my perfect pick em

GOOO OPTICC

2ez for trent 😂 sit yay

NA throwing? KEKW

What is Yay doing man fuckkk

nt tgrd

LETS GOOOO WHAT A COMEBACK

HOLY SHOT THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THIGN EVER TO WATCH OMG

what a insane match. I can finally sleep, good night Asian

saya sheesh, ggs good match

This choke reminds me of Vikings Vs Gambit

jesus food came alive on CT side

• PUJAN CARRY?

I am an Optic fan but don't hate The Guard. They put up a really good fight. Good luck on The Guard in the lower brackets and Optic in the upper.

GGs OpTic, what a last map from FNS. GL to Guard in the lower bracket though.

No cap i thought the guard gonna 2 - 0 optic.

Saya's timing is so unlucky man.. He scope, no enemy.. Unscopes then enemy appears.. Smh..

I feel bad for saya

FNS Pujan doubters where?

Unlucky Sayaplayer.

Optic's Icebox comp is my favorite right now. The Sova Recon and KO Knife make it really difficult to out-rotate them, especially in conjunction with the Sage Wall they use on Defense. Team's really need to prioritize breaking that wall early to deny info, and not having the whole team stacked there to be tagger by the recon / knife when they finally do. It's so readable and just puts Yay in these beautifully advantaged positions from which to absolutely dominate.

I don't like the Optic's Fracture comp at all though. I feel like the Zeta Division comp would just farm Victor. I think Raze is really strong on Fracture, and after watching Xeria (against Optic) and Kru (against Liquid) completely fail to shut down the Neons without Raze, I'm just even more convinced that Raze is a must-pick if you can't run the Neon yourself.

I really hope we get OPTC vs TL on Fracture, which might happen if TL beat Zeta and OPTC lose to DRX. Fingers crossed!!
