2-1 guild, guild have done a good job of shutting down star duelists and if this trend continues I predict a suprise victory over the APAC champions.

i feel an fpx suprise 2-1

wp to nth regardless

rare dub from vlr random

i could argue against any of your points

It isn't even a bait, its an honest opinion enabled by the anonymity of a forum site

jp dont deserve an automatic spot

if fnc play god on lan, emea top 3 would also be likely if the bracket wasn't fucked

zeta would win lcq nth idk I would favour dk regardless of the result today

the racism comes with time

that would be sad as shit

he had tested negative tho?

pretty sure he was in iceland for the zeta match and yet they didnt let him play

sounds extremely biased

so prx can play from hotel but fnatic couldnt in m1 when derke had covid

they want to avoid same group being on same side of the bracket, same with na1 and eu1
they also want the winners of the groups not face to face na1 or eu1 in the first match to reward winning the group
this means b2 and a1 aswell as a1 and b2 being pairs on each side of the bracket
they want to put a1 on the same side as eu1 as it contains na2 who are expected to win the group for the same reason b1 is bracketed near na
the only thing random is the placement of sea1 and sa1
the bracket will look like this
eu1 vs (group containing eu2) seed2
sea/sa1 vs (group containing na2) seed1
na1 vs (group containing na2) seed2
sea/sa1 vs (group containing na2) seed1
so it is random but the only aspect is a flip of a coin to determine prx and lev placement

pls fpx win for suygetsu

seeing as suygetsu can play playoffs i think it is fair to want fpx to win to see the full roster finally play an international

ranked isnt equivalent to pro

csgo major uses 16 teams and it is a great format

24 teams doesent work well with swiss

This is due to optic messing up vs guild otherwise they would be on the other side of the bracket

i think nth sadly have a good chance but i will cheer for the homies nethertheless

Posted this somewhere else sorry if it is badly explained
Many don't understand the similar draws but it as flaw of riots system alongside optic being upseted fpx underperforming due to sub

see my comment

there is obviously a format here
they want to avoid same group being on same side of the bracket, same with na1 and eu1
they also want the winners of the groups not face to face na1 or eu1 in the first match to reward winning the group

sea/sa1 vs (group containing na2) seed1
na1 vs (group containing na2) seed2
sea/sa1 vs (group containing na2) seed1
so it is random but the only aspect is a flip of a coin to determine prx and lev placement

it is due to teams messing up, if na2 won their group then they would be on the other side, same for eu2 this is the same issue as Reykjavik

i remember when derke tested negative and they could play with their star player if they could just beat japan's first seed

fnatic prx

? the only people with emea flairs insulting brazil are na fans

if loud get a good draw in champs maybe

u forgot the fact that eu's first seed is attending

the curse continues

optic 2-0

dont think they can as guild won their group

fpx quite frustratingly have struggled to lock down key carry players, surf and rb perhaps because of the lack of suygetsu and meteor is really cracked I fear they will struggle but maybe it is me just refusing to unclench.

1 more for loud to set up a rematch vs kru

i would be sad if fpx loose but its very possible

the game isn't finished

more to do with best teams not attending iceland and bad grouping

i think he is just tilted which is understandable considering fpx's luck this year

sadge for brazil, they have a passionate fanbase

bump

bruh you probably white as shit and still say it man

ratio

for clarification i mean teams that are good at counterstratting

I was talking relative to expectations as most rated loud as a top 3 team at the event and kru as one of the weaker ones.

I think with a good draw they have a chance but it is a real uphill battle for them this event.

Brazil have never escaped a group stage in the history of vct, the only times they have made it to playoffs were in both Iceland tournaments where Loud and Vikings respectively were auto-seeded into knockouts. Tomorrow, brazil's superteam Loud, after an underwhelming defeat to latam rivals Kru, will face Masters 1 winners optic, who also were defeated by lan debutants Guild. In a rematch of the finals, will Loud intact revenge or will this pattern repeat itself for the region?
