i unironically think the only teams better are 100T, TH, and PRX(no order, this is just how the regions are listed in my spreadsheet)

you forgot NRG, they'd actually be a superteam at this event

brother it is a domestic bo5 expecting it to not get scrappy is just wrong
honestly, them playing this bad today is better for them in the future.
both teams have more to look back on and improve.

what controller is there to replace him? pancada was available but apparently he's going to furia

ah ok.
but every other tournament has substantial things going for it.
every other event has double elim at some point at the very least, so i don't have to say how other tournaments have things going for them
Lock\in has basically nothing
tied for least games to win out of any event besides reykjavik 2021 while having double the teams of the next biggest event, and this isn't even including domestic matches where every other event would trounce Lock\in in games required to win
no double elim group stage (GenG could've been the 5th best team for all we know) or playoffs (in reykjavik 2021's case since it had no group stage
so many pointless matches (who the fuck wants to watch 2023 KC vs 2023 FPX)

com is a modern day equivalent of hiko, hiko could be the completing piece to ANY super team in 2021
tex on the other hand, idk, but aspas is definitely 1.5 players so he makes up for tex

additionally, it only took 5 games AT LOCK\IN to win.
this is the same amount of games it took to win madrid, a tournament with 75% less teams

1, i don't know lol, i concede on this one
3, womp fucking womp thats called luck of the draw, its going to be like that at every event. its literally best case scenario as a format, some teams get fucked over because of that what are you gonna do. just beat who you play
2, because it didn't have a double elim group stage like champs or berlin 2021 had. you used no group stage as something bad abt reykavjik 2021 but its suddenly ok at lock\in? double standard much

i got fucked by discounting momentum
if a team won their previous game (excluding games where both teams won their last game), they won the next game 7/9 times with Fut vs FNC and Lev vs G2 being the only exceptions

1. yes because there were 10 teams, they did the best with the amount of teams they were given
2. so? i think double elim is much better but this is an opinion, not an objective fact. both have their strengths and weaknesses
3. same as above
4. this has nothing to do with the format, being 2 groups of 4 and the #1 seeds go straight to playoffs
5. again, same as above, but with champs format this time
6. again, same as above

stats are nothing without the eye test, its like this in every sport/esport

via liquipedia you'd think its 4, they give 3 points for "placing first" and not for "winning the grand finals" but in all honesty i don't know

the only logic for which i can justify a tournament being a fraud is if the international event itself has a bad format, so that leaves........ Lock\in for people to call a fraud

its a domestic (scrappy) bo5, i kinda expected this if it went the distance

aww thank you conceit, i was wrong about DRG winning though :( they needed to win map 1

FNC last year was the only time that a team had 4 players in the convo for best itw, there are levels

VANITY IS A FRAUD

back in form? NRG were never in form

the egg and bren always have good games

this is getting political so I am not discussing this anymore, but why would india not work with Canada if they were actually terrorists? and even more than that India should've been able to prove it with the death so canada wouldn't get mad

only country outside of asia that is obsessed with india is canada because they killed sihks, right?

i don't even think they make it out of swiss (obviously they could, it depends on matches, FNC hard counter quite a few teams) unless they win tomorrow

USA USA USA USA USA

i mean with billions of dollars of american investment if you didn't have it I'd be concerned

then TMV was very fucking stupid for that,
love him but he is not without faults

brother if you are going to try to make a stupid point don't make shit up, no one who is rational and not baiting ever should have had them over PRX. #2 is the highest they ever should've been

they do he's just on senti/viper duty

saadhak's aura is still there lmao

remove the first 2 weeks, those are irrelevant to current form
EEIU has
6% better ACS
24% better KD
8% better Kast
12% better KPR
7% better ADR
17% better APR
54% better FD-FK
167% better FDPR
EEIU has been better across the board by more than marginal distances

currently, its eeiu

i never said u choked the series (you did choke the series vs full sense, 7-1 lead map 3)
you only choked a map vs northeption

you do, APAC/ pacific just hasn't been good enough for you to choke in abt 3 years outside of lock\in which..... yk

u do realize how i came to this conclusion given this is VLR.gg

are u saying you use the plushies as?
nevermind

I put 12 LOL

Bro 8? It’s definitely gonna be double digits

they are definitely better than DRG and T1 but could be anywhere from 5-10 after that

OH GOD
this poll will not be accurate to a general poopulation

this isn't to the form >:( i don't have twit i can't check comments

im calling you a 76 year old cat not 15

send a link for the form

sorry, danii1 isn't the best at english, he meant psion's cat
danii is 15 years old, or 76 cat years

you act like it takes half a lifetime you can become a citizen in 10 years or less in some countries

yes and make the lower round and upper finals bo5s, it'd be so much better

bro i know, i don't gotta bookmark it, i'm just saying ur timing is bad that is all

yeah but just wait like 30 minutes for boaster to go 7-19 again

im dumb

saying this after what is probably boaster's best map performance wise in his whole career is awful timing, i get your point though

yeah i've never agreed with him on anything besides global being dogshit
