shaky last couple rounds but i’m sure everyone was just a bit tired.
feeling pretty confident abt the team, let’s go!

just 4th

He has 1 game each on Cypher and Killjoy, and 0 on vyse, but it's entirely possible for him to learn them
That or spike plays sentinel too

H2H still applies if it's 4-way tie, you check H2H match score first, where MIBR is 3-0 against everyone else in the 4. so they are their own subset, as 1st, and then you reset with other 3.

if NRG wins then it's KRU, FUR, 100T, NRG
if SEN wins then it's KRU, SEN, FUR, 100T

There's a 4-way tie, so first check Match H2H. MIBR is 3-0, G2 is 1-2, LEV is 1-2, LOUD is 1-2.

So MIBR is guaranteed 1 seed. Then it goes to a 3-way tie between G2, LEV, LOUD. They are all 1-1 against each other, so we go to map diff.

G2 is +1, LEV is +0, LOUD is -1. So the order is G2, LEV, LOUD.

G2 vs Omega #3 (100T or FUR). Winner plays KRU, loser plays LOUD.
Omega #2 (FUR or SEN) vs LEV. Winner plays MIBR, loser plays Omega #4 (NRG or 100T).

that's fair, before i think it was pretty obvious when the changes needed to happen though. FNS clearly wasn't working out for them, he'd been there for like 3 years with no consistent results. Credit to him though for taking the leap on Ethan IGL.

tbh even if they lose today, none of the players have shown enough for me to want to replace anyone of them. maybe other fans will disagree, but they've all been solid.
Maybe at the end of the year we can have this conversation again.

can't really argue any of these. maybe for pearl game 5 of bangkok gf, that was an absolute cinema map

NRG vs LOUD at lock in has to be a good shout

ah those are acc good tips. yeah maybe not serbia then, probably misremembering something.
thanks!

in terms of regionguessing, i like philippines as the signs usually have a good if youre in a more urban area.
europe is pretty easy if you have a sign, the languages are good to at least narrow down which area of europe in, and almost always, the country (for me though i confuse the eastern european ones like slovak, czech, serbian, croatian, etc a lot)

if we get 4th seed we play loser of 100T and G2 for our first game i think...

no
if LEV win then MIBR and G2 are 3-2, and LOUD are 2-3 with NV, and LOUD have tie-breaker.
if LOUD win then there are no other 2-3 teams. so NV is guaranteed 5th.

BUMP
LEV now favorites for 1st seed.

TL;DR:

• G2 now cannot get 4th. Can get 2nd with a LOUD win, otherwise get 3rd.
• LOUD now cannot get eliminated or get 2nd seed. can only get 3rd with a 2-0.
• C9 and NV are mathematically eliminated.
• LEV can still get anywhere from 1-4.

i believe so but am not sure

you would go to h2h map diff, not overall map diff

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16z6eRQDeLII9mIp2tGq6vItzsBKxp1v-1CsuamwCRjY/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Here are the updated odds and qualifying paths for all teams

It's pretty likely that LOUD are 4th, but C9, LEV, and G2 could all potentially be 4th

yep

i feel like sometimes they do this when there are a lot of VCT matches ongoing? To avoid clutter. At least that's what I've seen a couple times in the past.

But yeah it's pretty inexcusable when there's a filter

At their 100T peaks: Cryo Sentinel, eeiu Initiator, bang Controller, Boostio Sentinel/IGL, Asuna duelist

All time peaks: Ethan Flex/IGL, Cryo Sentinel, eeiu initiator, Derrek Flex, dicey Duelist

I mean what would the roles be?

Timotino Neon
vora Cypher?
Asuna Sova?
bang Omen

or Asuna Omen, vora Sova, bang Cypher

or Asuna Cypher

nothing really works

no

if they lose, they are 2-3 and FUR and KRU are guaranteed to be above them.

The winner of Sen-NRG are also 3-2, and the loser has tiebreak over 100T, so they're locked 5th if they lose

BUMP

Updated odds

FUR has a 92.7% chance at 2nd seed
100T has a 79.8% chance of being knocked out and no chance of getting 2nd seed anymore. 3rd seed is still possible if they come back this game, and NRG wins

ah i see, thats really nice then bro happy for u

dude thats nice good shit
does x mean integrated graphics on the cpu? or is there a gpu coming too

ah sorry, i meant map diff.
gotcha then

are you sure the round differential for 100T doesn't matter if SEN wins their game?

Then it's KRU 4-1, FUR 3-2, 100T 3-2, SEN 3-2, NRG 2-3, EG 0-5

H2H is FUR > SEN > 100T > FUR, so it goes to H2H map diff

SEN is +1, FUR is 0 if there's a 2-1 and -1 if there's a 2-0, 100T is 0 if there's a 2-0 and -1 if there's a 2-1

np goat

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16z6eRQDeLII9mIp2tGq6vItzsBKxp1v-1CsuamwCRjY/edit?usp=sharing (ignore sheet 2 that is WIP)

TL;DR:

KRU locked 1st, EG locked 6th

FUR clinches 2nd with win. Also 2nd if lose 1-2, and NRG wins.
100T 2nd with a 2-0 win and NRG win. Otherwise SEN is 2nd.

100T win -> SEN/NRG loser is eliminated. 100T -> 100T is eliminated.

tysm goat

im cheering for dfm

Ours showed the hacked message for like thirty minutes, now it says down for maintenance

ShinyHunters be crazy
what university is yours?

ive been on the receiving end of your chamber, play that

c0m has got to go. supamen, bao, and Okeanos are all debatable; personally, I would keep Oke and drop the other two, but I don't hate keeping bao, or even supamen. In this hypothetical, though, we are dropping both.

Duelist/Chamber: dgzin
Controller, Flex/Duelist, or Recon: Okeanos

So we need an IGL, a Sentinel, and either a smokes, flex, or initiator player to round it out.

IGLs:

• Dark3st
• zander
• NiSMO
• Kyu
• ducq
• welyy

Sentinels:

• alvinboy
• FireBallOps
• XxiF
• Shondex
• sorex
• dynamic

Others:

• Spaz
• paincakes
• Zerona
• stallion

My personal picks would be NiSMO, Spaz/zerona, and FireBallOps. I just like these players over the others. So the final roster is:

Dgzin - Primary Duelist + Chamber
Okeanos - Recon/Second Duelist
NiSMO - Flex: Second Controller, Second Initiator
Spaz - Controller
FireballOps - Sentinel

OR:

Dgzin - Duelist + Chamber
Okeanos - Controller/Recon
NiSMO - Flex: Second Controller, Second Initiator
zerona - Recon/Viper
FireballOps - Sentinel

The roles end up working a bit better with Zerona, and he IS on the academy, but I would love Spaz on the team, to be honest...

initiator: 2023 EG c0m
Duelist: aspas
Sentinel/Controller 2023 EG Demon1
Controller/Sentinel 2026 LEV Neon
Flex: kiNgg

<3

good preds tho, fracture is definitely just a curveball, hard to pred

BRUH WHY ARE WE STILL PICKING PEARL
AND EG PICKS FRACTURE DAMNNN THEY COMING TO FIGHT

c0m is definitely playing sova LMAO

it first goes through head-to-head map diff. VIT 2-0 GX, GX 2-1 BBL, BBL 2-1 VIT. So VIT are +1, GX are -1, BBL are 0

Thus the seeding is VIT/BBL/GX. correct me if i misunderstood this.

i like the background leaves

Sentinels: FireBallOps, sorex, exa, XxiF, kumi
Controllers: Spaz, stallion
Flex: zerona, satellite, sacred
Duelists: Boni, sonofcar, Smoke
Initiators: ducq, welyy

Vets: NiSMO, Inspire, yay, zander, Derrek

Potential roster turnovers:

EG -c0m -supamen -bao +zerona +Spaz +Inspire (IGL)
100T -Asuna +satellite
NV -p0ppin -Rossy -Eggster (-keznit +Cane) +stallion/ion +Derrek +welyy (IGL)
c9 -idk +FireballOps
G2 -idk +kumi

true
maybe keiko raze, mada kay/o, ethan skye, brawk brim, skuba viper
that would be very interesting

i think, because EG went 0-3 on Bind so far this year, NRG wouldn't mind floating it. Haven is the only map EG have won at least twice on, and we banned it against FUR in week 1

EG bans Breeze, NRG bans Haven
EG picks Pearl, NRG picks Lotus
EG bans Bind, NRG bans Split
Fracture remains

i mean i like the idea, its just hard to put someone like boaster as THE goat when his individual numbers arent the best. top 5 is reasonable
