platchat

Well whaddya know? The team platchat ranked DEAD LAST in their power ranking have just won the masters Bangkok trophy!!!!

WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THESE GUYS. Have they ever been sooo right about something where people said "oh, these guys were ahead of the curve. They knew what's up". I even think they are much more often dead WRONG about something than being right. Of course, if you make a prediction of something it's bound to be wrong sometimes & hindsight is 20/20 but if you are wrong so often you gotta have some grace when you shit talk players or a team, no? Like you gotta give people/teams the benefit of the doubt and not be so arrogant in your convictions bcz really, you guys don't know any better. Yall are just yapping and I respect it cuz it's your job ig but have some humility when you call people garbage or make a player tierlist or whatever.
Also, it annoys me when platchat nerds present 'Oh, sideshow said this' as a shield to their argument. I'm like I don't fkin care. nterure4564 on reddit has been right more often about valorant than the eggman. But, instead of presenting facts and logic these people still insist as if platchat opinions give their arguments some weight.

"plat" chat

Maybe because its how they were at the beginning of the tournament? They made the ranking before the tournament was going on???

To be fair, most of platchat can't really watch pacific games due to timezones.

Drop your preds and I’ll watch your podcast

platchat has never been 100% serious analysis, they are just content creators whose entire purpose is to create content. They get a correct prediction = content, they get it completely wrong = even more content

i mean, they didn't look THAT good within their own region -- losing to DRX in the grand finals and coming in from the lowers really does deal a blow to how favoured you are internationally, especially if APAC was considered a weak region. If I told you that EDG would be knocked out by T1 in the lower finals 3-1 prior to Bangkok, or even during the swiss stage, you'd probably never believe me.

i'd like to say they improved overall throughout the bangkok and -carpe +sylvan made all the difference (sylvan averaging 20 assists a map)

but u know, it's just predictions -- you're not bound to be correct 100% of the time.

tbf i don't think anyone actually takes their rankings too seriously. i mean if you actually do when people like bren have a say in they're rankings it's on you

This is why VLR u listening is gonna clear

1. T1 looked shaky in APAC kickoff and didn't start leveling up until about the end of swiss stage
2. They still got 5/8 placements right for their power rankings. Putting the winner in last is pretty egregious, but the rest was actually solid predictions

"Also, it annoys me when platchat nerds present 'Oh, sideshow said this' as a shield to their argument." Has anyone ever actually said anything like this? Most of the posts I see are always clowning on plat chat preds on this site.

They're podcast is made to be entertaining and talk about the game they are invested in. They've always openly said not to take their predictions or power rankings too seriously and that it will all probably be wrong. They also often call each other stupid for wrong takes like this. And, I mean, if you don't judge teams based on what you analyze or see in the moment then what is even the fucking point of predicting?

Also, we forget that Trace was literally in 7th but Bren single-handedly put them in 5th because they decided to let him have a free spot change because he got something right in the past.

Chill bro, they gonna use "it's just a content, who take us seriously?" card

0/8

This is the worst ragebait I have ever seen bro

log off and never come back

i, for one, am waiting for Mimi to glue herself to a seat

have to say they did kind of ranked it based on the results they saw but definitely t1 should be A tier. maybe they didnt do well in gf apac but does it matter if they can turn over the game and learn their mistakes against the teams. t1 played their first match against each teams in bkk with a loss and they used that to turn the table and won. everyone’s pickems were messed up. but still, platchat shouldve given some thoughts of the teams potential not just on results
