Here's hoping

Maybe we pull out the 2024 (?) PRX comp

keiko Jett, mada Raze, Ethan Yoru, brawk Viper, skuba Omen

split isnt that unknown, we're dogshit at it
i think our pearl is gonna be good, overall on this year its still one of our best maps

As an NRG fan:

Great maps: Fracture, Haven
Good maps: Lotus, Breeze
Bad maps: Pearl, Ascent
Horrible maps: Split

ong

hope we get put on the same team this szn :pray:

welcome back!

not talking abt u bro u mogged me most games xd

its a super supportive community, youll have lots of time to shine, there been many cases where a silver/gold has outperformed a diamond

slowly flex/igl
Smoggy controller/duelist
Neon Sentinel/Controller/Duelist
mada Duelist
crashies recon

not good but have the potential to put together a really good game. they lost to 100t in part cause lukxo had a horrendous game, usually he plays infinitely better.

rather that than another 4th place international finish

why nrg will win london

odin. literally who in the event matches them in odin? glazers will say trent but we all know in our hearts he has legit 0 odin. haters will say nrg have no odin then go glaze "Gold 2" lmao.

why is chubizin on smokes and melser on recon, seems like their natural roles are the other way around

but yeah thats insane, i think david is one of the better latam tier2 players as well, think ive seen him for a while now

So this is a season format:
Points are awarded for each map win. No matter if it's at internationals, domestic playoffs, group stages, whatever. Each map is worth one point. In tier 2, each map win is worth exactly 0.28 points.

Phase one is a international group stage with 8 groups of 6, completely randomly assigned, to play in a round robin. Top 4 of each advance to playoffs.
This is a single elim 32-team format, until you get to the top 8, where it transitions into double elim. All matches in final 4 are Bo5, and grand final is a bo7, with the winner picking the first 3 maps.

Phase 2 is domestics: a 2023-style huge ass round robin. Top 8 goes into a swiss, where top 6 goes to playoffs (i think there needs a tiebreaker for 6th). same format as before.

Phase 3 is another international with 4 teams from each region. Just for fun it's the same format as champions.

Phase 4 is a final international involving all 48 teams. This time it's 6 groups of 8, with the top 2 selected from each group to advance, making 12. The last 4 are selected from a playing from all the 3 seeds. The playoff is the same as phase 1, with round 1 the only round being single elim.

Finally, the world champion is whoever accumulated the most points.

wtf are those stats

tier 3 demon

can you send the full methodology? Im interested

#10

Basically uses normal elo calculations, like chess, where a matchup gives the winning team a certain number of points according to the elo difference and the losing team loses the same number of points.
There are no regional weights, for example, so regional dominance is enough to get a high elo

appreciate the feedback

The algorithm treats every match as the same weight, so EDG and XLG have a lot of regional wins that up their elo

80 lines of python code beg to differ

1. PRX - 1765
2. EDG - 1729
3. G2 - 1706
4. XLG - 1691
5. NRG - 1684
6. TH - 1684
7. LEV - 1637
8. FS - 1642
9. GE - 1627
10. VIT - 1623
11. DRG - 1614
12. FUT - 1592

Starting elo is 1600 so FUT are the only team to be below average

Current results:

1. PRX
2. G2
3. TH
4. VIT
5. LEV
6. GE
7. FS
8. EDG
9. NRG
10. FUT
11. DRG
12. XLG

thats fun

thats good man
do anything fun today?

i'm actually doing really good, thanks
how are you?

the teams are actually really well made. this season the winning team had 2 immos, an asc, a diamond, and a gold. most teams are similarly balanced.

Last place is Bati, after filtering with the minimum round req it's c1nder

I think it'll be flexible. maybe with Jett-Raze mada goes Raze but with Raze-Waylay keiko plays Raze, for example.

The order of Duelists from keiko-able to mada-able is:

Iso - Jett - Phoenix - Raze - Neon - Yoru - Waylay

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

Check attack half, he went 9 and 3 with half the ADR of the rest of his team.

ETHAN LOCKED OMEN

W

Do we still go for a KAY/O comp when keiko has been frying on duelist?

67r0v0n

nice shots bro...

i feel like when we get aim diffed for a couple rounds its hard to climb back

i want to blame trent but we have brawk on our team

bro is actually fragging
demon1 could never

yeah wtf bro you could tell by his reaction something was wrong

fsfs
i smell a good series, which sucks cause i have a little bit left of an assignment due at 11 tonight

probably... G2 are undefeated on Haven and that might be our best pick. Maybe we pick Lotus, IDK...

fuck you right

G2:

1. Pearl: 3-0
2. Breeze: 2-0
3. Lotus: 4-1
4. Haven: 2-0
5. Split: 1-3
6. Ascent: 0-1
7. Fracture: 0-0

NRG:

1. Fracture (3-0)
2. Haven (2-0)
3. Lotus (3-1)
4. Breeze (3-1)
5. Pearl (1-2)
6. Ascent (0-0)
7. Split (0-2)

G2 bans Fracture, NRG bans Pearl
G2 picks Breeze, NRG picks Haven
G2 picks Lotus, NRG picks Ascent
Split decider

imo this map pool heavily favors G2, so interesting to see what NRG cook up, I'm not very confident in this pred but we'll see.
