when furia bombed out i didnt see an angry mob of Brazilians complaining about the vct schedule
when 100t bombed out there was a whole twitter fiasco of angry 100t fans complaining about the schedule. "6 month off-season they played 2 matches and now they wait til April 🤓"

? Wasn't my point at all, don't care about my teams performance I just care that I can't watch them play for another 2 months. I enjoyed the round robin format it's way more entertaining week over week. I'm sure Furia fans, EMEA, Pacific losers feels the same, if Fnatic bombed out you would be annoyed too
I'd rather say that the only one who did not understand the point of the message they commented on is you, #60.
Playins already are kind of an LCQ. You are promoting an LCQ for an LCQ. As I said, enough is enough. If you arrive 4th in a group of 4, it is clear that you have no chance to arrive 2nd/11. The only good point that you can make is that the off-season was too long, and kickoff + Madrid is too slow of a start to be enjoyable by fans of bad teams.
I mean, I think that's more on Furia fans than 100T. If you're upset your team doesn't get to play, you have a right to your passion. They're incorrect, but telling a fan not to have feelings when their team doesn't get to play is just kind of dumb. You can be wrong, and still have a right to your feelings.
I don’t even know if that many Furia fans exist ngl
Every time I see Brazilians talk about Furia they are always roasting them and it seems like they don’t have the highest expectations
Another reason is that 100t had the hardest group and actually played well leading people to believe that they were a top team and could’ve done more given an easier group
Furia just got dominated
the general consensus on VLR has 100T top 5 so

yeah but general consensus doesnt mean shit. do you know how many months of "general consensus" that sen was a super team last year i had to witness. consensus will only ever measure hype. by virtue of the fact that the public lacks insider info public opinion will always run downstream of the actual development of teams just look at EG last year.
so EG improving over time has nothing to do with it because at the start EG did suck
thats my whole point. power rankings by their very nature are out of date before they are ever published. We as viewers don't know how good a team actually is until we see them play. as such using consensus to measure the skill level of a team is inherently flawed. I brought up EG because teams do not become good overnight. odds are EG was much better than consensus believed and simply didn't have the results. Once the have the results consensus changed, but that change can only come after they are good. Using consensus means you are just looking at past results and assuming that they will predict future ones which as we saw many many many many many times previously (mibr vs NRG, NRG imploding at champs, KRU going on a run at LCQ, zeta division at reykjavik, FNC blowing up at champs, LOUD having a resurgence at champs, etc.) is an inherently flawed view to hold.
tldr: consensus will always be out of date. using it to claim a team is better than another is dumb because of that.
i mean the format is bad. They essentially swapped the placement of one of the group stages with an LCQ like event. doesn't make sense to me why we wouldnt just swap kick-off with group stage 2 and make kickoff into an LCQ. That way the high stakes tournament is at the end of the season once all the teams have had a chance to prac properly and fully realize their identity. Its the same as last year it doesn't make sense to have a elimination tournament right off the bat since it essentially punishes teams that had a bad year and had to make a lot of moves or who ran into problems with acquiring players.
