Is it 1 win for Fnatic or FPX to get into masters?

tbh I also think they are overrated, but they are still incredible team top 5 for sure. My only problem is that they are a new team and I really don't want them to turn out like Faze from last year's stage 1. The Guard seem to be on a hot run right now and hopefully, they don't drop it.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought RA/RF was what determined a tiebreaker. Kinda useless stat no?

I am really confused why Optic still can't make the playoffs. If they lose to Knights they go 2-3 and if Rise wins their match, Rise will also have 2-3.
But here is where I am confused, The round diff for Optic currently is +16 and for Rise is -21. How can Rise get a better RA/RF than Optic?
Plz tell me where I'm going wrong in my understanding, Thanks a lot.

Also I think Vanity always has the best read on the meta so another reason why c9 is probably going to win but guard is still crazy. I just don't want this guard run to be like Faze’s run last year.

12 teams total in the playoffs
the 4 u know got invited ( c9, sen, NV, 100T)
the 4 winners of open qual 1 (guard, xset, nrg, v1)
the 4 winners of open qual 2 (TBD)

He's asking for the last 4 u want to qualify so from open qual 2. I would love to see T1, TSM, Akerew and Rise (if they fix fix themselves)
*Nvm I'm confused on what he's trying to ask because he said XSet but that's the format if u were confused on that.

probably gonna make it out there tbh

yea

I think akrew and tsm will be a good match but I think akrew is the better team, but if TSM wins then The Guard will just destroy them

Sideshow said this but why don't they just allow coaches to talk to players in the online qualifiers when there are 7 bo3s going on at the same time, so everyone is equal and no one can cheat. Just dumb by riot.

t1 should have won... but t1's stupidity made them lose.

probably because g2 still lost both games, got exposed and will probably not do it again because they got exposed.

I guess we all just slept on V1

thoughts?

obv troll btw

also FNS and also Steel did some heavy match fixing

100T isn't going to drop Hiko because of his performance, he is still a cracked Sova and if you were a company looking to make a profit, Hiko and his large fanbase are much, much more valuable. It's not like they can't win with Hiko. Take Masters 3, they went far and the only reason they didn't go further was Steel and the fact he kinda failed at being an IGL. I think it was Nitro or Hiko that made the call to avoid cNed. Also what better Sova is there that isn't signed.

Ok so since Nitro and Boi have been kicked or left the roster, imaging this:
Keep the original 3 + Tarik and Seven (Assuming Tarik even wants to compete and he has made joke videos on joining 100T so I don't think its impossible):

Ethan (Skye and Flex)
Asuna (Duelist but no Jett like Keznit)
Hiko (Sova)
Tarik as the IGL (Maily Jett with maybe sentinel mixed in, like how nitro played in LCQ)
Seven (Astra/Smoke, In past matches, he's been playing primarily Astra, so I think he's comfortable on her)

What are your thoughts?

edit: I Just saw the fact that they are trialling Brehze and ec1s so I guess this post is shit.

because lan is cool

he's an outlier every other normal igls play a role that requires more them to support the others.

yes

and also he's igling so obviously, he's not gonna frag as much.
