XLG can still win, good luck though.

Have to win their next match 2-0 to be safe and move up.

1st: M8
2nd: PRX
3rd: NRG
4th: BBL
5th: NS
6th: AG

M8 - PRX - BBL - AG - NS - NRG

Who will be in Top 4 Semi Finals?

It was sexy and high IQ asf.

Best Yoru in the world of all time.

He's basically Aspas on Jett from early duelist meta. The movement, the aim, the game sense, and also ice cold.

Marteen stays consistent... his potential is huge.

Best Omen of all time.
Best flex player of all time as well?

New GOAT debate:

1. Forsaken
2. Ethan (2x Champions Champ give him the credit he deserves)
3. Aspas
4. Chronicle
5. Leo (Brawk, Invy, RieNs, Hiro soon to surpass living memory Leo in the near future)

PRX can choke in Playoffs too. Or right now against NRG. Who knows, let the fans be.

Lol the reverse jinx is real so watch out!

Mada still throwing like a Tier 2 player. This is why he'll never ever be Top5 duelist ITW.

Damn if only you didn't stop him. Seems like Bonkar doesn't know. Or does he...

1/2

Lol.

Pork souvlaki(not gyro) one of the best food on earth. Not beef, chicken, lamb, but pork. Let me know if you find it juicy and tasty.

I feel like for Santiago, Teams in Swiss Stage will gain more reps and practice and experience into the meta.
The teams that make it to Playoffs from Swiss will come out stronger than the previous 4 teams already in Playoffs imo.

Also the fact that 1st seeds from Kickoffs only have experience against teams from their own region only, and not against teams from other regions.

Bump.

Luffy?

Imagine if its BBL or AG. Or even NS. The world will go crazy.
FUR will fall off with Nerve and Alym.

Leaf and Jawgemo I know you read VLR everyday so make it happen boys. Make smart decisions if you see this Valyn.

He needs Demon1 :(

Jawgemo on Neon/Waylay. Babybay on Yoru/Chamber. Make it happen. Let Jawgemo go crazy on Waylay and Babybay do his thing on Yoru/Chamber.
Also play more Sova maps for fucking Trent.

He was confused and clueless against PRX. Maybe he does better against XLG.

The way I see it, only way G2 can make playoffs and even do well is if they go Neon/Waylay Yoru. Babybay definitely capable of playing Yoru.

Come back here when it happens.

BBL vs NS 50/50
AG > FUR

True, hence the 2-1. Should be a 3 map series overall in general if both teams are in decent condition.

Leaf better fragger, babybay better semi entry. G2 just need Jawgemo to shoot and Trent to be more enthusiastic, thats it. I feel bad for Valyn, he's been so consistent and improved the most throughout the years.

Invy is currently playing extremely well right now and is really good on Split and Breeze so ban both maps. Let Brawk take over on Haven Corrode Abyss.

NRG win 2-0 or 2-1 easy.

NRG is a solid team that can come back with a counter. They did it at Champs and can do it again.

If we see them rematch in the Playoffs or Finals, it'll be even crazier. Hopefully we get 3 maps today though!

Any believers?

2-0 or 2-1?

Who we got?

Yoru vs Neon, I got money on Neon.

Cant wait to see AG go crazy though, should be fun.

It's safe to say G2 and T1 will both come back stronger. EDG and XLG are fucked imo.

Leo Faria scared to have all 3 EMEA teams move up to Playoffs.

W fucking Miniboo. I'm a fan now.

TL improved a lot so this will be somewhat interesting.

oh? was it streamed?

The winner bracket changed to the "right way"
prx vs nrg
m8 vs tl

so why not the 0-1 loser bracket?

Oh hell nah.

Its supposed to be:

EDG vs XLG
G2 vs T1

Why didn't they change it to this??

Regional matchups rigged 100%

I think he's rigging it for China in a way where he can get the most out of them into Playoffs.

Yeah but since it was G2 vs EDG and T1 vs XLG, if G2 and T1 won then EDG and XLG is gone instantly tomorrow.

Edit: They made it so XLG and EDG plays, then the winner has Another day to play again (for viewership + $$).

1st draw = PRX
2nd draw = M8
3rd draw = NRG
4th draw = TL

I think it was.

Leo Faria doing his best there's at least 1 or 2 Chinese teams that can reach far in Playoffs for viewership(aka $$$) and to prevent showing everyone in the world that "China is a weak region" (ex. if XLG and EDG both gets knocked out tomorrow which is way too early)

previous draws were better for the viewers 100%
but Leo Faria want regions to knock each other out first as much as possible, thats where it gets rigged.

I'm still trying to understand why drawing picks Team A to Team B is the "right way" when it shouldn't matter since its winner vs winner, loser vs loser.

If anyone can explain.

Fuck this bullshit. All draw picks are always rigged and its so obvious.
M8 vs PRX
NRG vs TL
T1 vs XLG
G2 vs EDG
Would've been FINE.

Yeah if they went the Team A and Team B method, that's how it looks. Fuck this regional matchups though.
