Who do you think will experience the greatest team diff in Berlin? Methinks it will be Crazy Raccoon against Gambit.

Super Blassive Maze best team

good luck

Hope they have half-decent managers and they made sure they didn't get fucked in this deal..

no

They can def yield some good teams in new games if given the support. The problem is as of now there is no support and they are trying to crack down on it as well.

I don't know. I just know TSM is T2, I have no other politics.

every team above tsm are tier 1

I mean it can happen, my old dog died when moving to a new house, because the previous owner had left rat poison in the basement and my dog ingested it.

I don't know if that's what happened here, but if it does go to court, there should be a discovery process. It is what it is unfortunately with these kinds of things.

There is no way for anyone to reasonably know that, unless there is evidence, that proves intent.

I think champions should be a 256 team swiss format tournament.

i want acend to win so bonecold will bring some tax money back to finland..

np, I thought it did work though.. I just wasn't sure if I had the correct interpretation of what you meant, I think I understood now.

For example:

f = (153,392/51,709,098) = 0.00296644122 (Players per population)
m = (0.00296644122*50,000,000) = 148322.061 (Players per 50 million population)
VS
f = (51,709,098/50,000,000) = 1.03418196 (People per 50 million units)
m = (153,392/1.03418196) = 148322.061 (Players per 50 million population)

It's essentially just the inverse operation. So what may have happened is, that you may have multiplied by people per 50 million units instead of dividing.

How is the playerbase per 50 million in Korea higher, than the total playerbase? Am I misunderstanding what you mean by per capita? To my understanding it should be (playerbase/total population)*50,000,000.

Can you give an example of how you calculated Korea.

Think about it this way: The rankings don't tell you what teams are currently good, rather how relatively impressive their match history is.

It's not like the teams are in a constant round robin group, they all get different opportunities at different times. SMB hasn't gotten enough opportunities to tip the balance.

holy shit its an italian vlr.gg user

Unrelated, but has anyone seen a person with an Italian flag on this site? I feel like I have not seen a single Italian user on this site.

They have 2.5 odds to win the event while G2 have 51.0 odds to win..

You don't understand. My system is based on the pools I made and a different drafting process.

Pool 1: NA #1, EMEA #1, KR #1, BR #1
Pool 2: NA #2, EMEA #2, LATAM #1, SEA #1
Pool 3: JP #1, BR #2, KR #2, EMEA #3
Pool 4: NA #3, SEA #2, JP #2, EMEA #4

A given team can't be on the same group, if they are on the same pool.

I wish it was a random shuffle with vertical alignment with pools being as follows.

Pool 1: EMEA#1,EMEA#2,EMEA#3,EMEA#4
Pool 2: NA#1,NA#2,NA#3,KR#1
Pool 3: KR#2,BR#1,BR#2,LAT#1
Pool 4: JP#1,JP#2,SEA#1,SEA#2

You shuffle each pool with regional seeds as weights and then choose the vertical alignment with the exception, that KR#1 and KR#2 can't have the same column.

So you would get something like:

Group one
SMB, NV, KRÜ, CR

Group two
ACE, VS, HL, ZETA

Group three
GMB, 100T, VIVO, PRX

Group four
G2, SEN, F4Q, BREN

2Pac

he didnt know they are pros prob and was surprised they are at his rank

The momentum is building.

What's it with OG and releasing their best player when shit hits the fan?

true

He is making it so easy to dunk on them when they lose KEKW

We will see brother

Ya G2 will get farmed, it's the truth.

true, let's make it more exciting and swap sentinels with paper rex.. i love me some excitement

Yeah I forgot Paper REX was seed 2 and not 1st.. But still, if they can make conditional rules like "teams from same region can't be placed in the same group, except EMEA, because we decided so", why can't there be a conditional rule for first round matchups as well then?

what do you mean? two teams get out of groups, there is no problem with having two emea teams in a group.. vision strikers being there on top is the problem

yea couldnt care less if two emea teams are in the same group.. the questionmark i have is: why the fuck do they play on round 1

Greatest joke of the century.

If anything, vision strikers fans should be pissed the fuck off. #1 seed KR, should be in free group B with one of the two joke #1 seeds in group A.

3rd seed NA got free group LOL

it was from sheesh_gamer so i assumed it was unironic

no.. no i dont

lemme try too

test

nixoon ascent life game

maybe having one of the players on either team on friendlist?

yes its called the negativity bias

It's to the point where 12/15 of the recent discussions tab are dead threads. Don't intend to pressure devs, just informing.

I would not call Sideshow an analyst. I would call him a pundit.

Old SKT T1 logo/brand good. Being in T1 meant more back in the day, it was like a royalty, an elite class. Now it's just another boring corporate org with a vector logo, I feel.

You have a one in 4294967290 chance to pick the perfect pick'em by chance. We just have to recruit 5/9th of the world's population and make sure they all pick unique pick'ems and we're good.

I read your seeds as if they were groups and had a pause..

more viewership than berlin grand final incoming
