It's looking like there won't be one considering the weird GF format that they've set up.

Alright let's not go there.

F0rsaken's agent pool is decent, so some have thought that he's being moved to a secondary role, testing the comp.

That's my bad. I inputted it wrong.

Each map has different agents ban. That's why Jinggg was able to play Jett on the first map, as it wasn't banned then.

Excuse me? Where in the world did you get that?

Sorry. We'll update it. We're a bit in the dark with the scheduling of the event - both from our side and our lack of local context. Hopefully we'll get a proper set up soon for Playoffs.

The TO had changed the bracket, and we updated it accordingly.

We'll put it on the homepage now but do consider that the amount of Indian/South Asian tournaments with a large enough prizepool that saturates the event page. SEA rarely got these inter-regional tournaments, and that was primarily the reason that it was prioritized. I personally apologize if TEC/Skyesports wasn't considered as high-priority, as I am the one who added Skyesports.

And to add another response I saw above: Yes, there are no Indian-based mods which detriments us on updating the match in an orderly and timely manner. But if you think you could help us, don't be afraid to reach out to me personally in Discord.

If this tweet were to be believed, it's not on the teams. https://twitter.com/dvcky_/status/1444865212679540741

It is a Bo5. I forgot to change it.

Yes, I am a moderator/staff.

Sorry for the wait, fixed. I based it off the toornament bracket.

INF wasn't able to check in on the required time allotted. ZLS receives 1 map advantage.

ZLS win Icebox by default.
Ascent: ZLS ban Sage; INF ban Killjoy

FXG ban Raze; NXG ban Killjoy

NGX ban Jett; CES ban Sage

Bind: LVR ban Skye; FXG ban Viper
Breeze: FXG ban Astra; LVR ban Viper

I don't care. I'm doing my job. I'm keeping an eye on this. And if it's getting worse, I'll deal with it appropriately.

Just stop. All of you. Before it gets worse than it is.

Split: FXG ban Jett; NXG ban Raze

Bind: LVR ban Raze; CES ban Skye

I've read #16 before, dw; it's still hilarious that they're still hiding em

Bind: INF ban Raze; EGO ban Skye
Icebox: EGO ban Killjoy; INF ban Omen

It's their new roster, and they're tilting.

Bind: ZLS ban KAY/O; AE ban Skye

Technically they haven't officially announce their new roster yet.

all I have to say is: WHO ARE THESE PLAYERS? Are they actually players in disguise?

Sova banned by AE; Breach banned by Zeal

I was there when VLR had no dark mode. I was molded by it. The Light is the Way.

They're good, but they're not the second best either. Imo, there's quite a gap between PRX and UwU to the mid-tier teams of MY/SG.

While LVR can be said as close competition to PRX, there's also teams like Kingsmen, SMG, and Todak ever eyeing the mid-tiers. So again, are they good? I'd say they're decent.

While I don't personally mind Indians hyping their team up, I'm just sad that it has reached the state that it is now. I'm excited for GE to perform in the LCQ, but again it's just sad that the interaction has reached the point that it stands now. I just want everyone to not shit all over each other and be civil.

I implore all of you to be civil, for the sake of all of us. But I think even that would be hard, looking at these threads.

Cypher is a good picm, especially holding B.
Omen can work around with his smokes on A.
Jett or Raze can shake things up very easily with how the sites are set up.
Sage's wall can either deny either entry easily, but I like to deny B Tower and A satellite respectively.
Sova as a gadget agent.

Thank you!

the disrespect to SEA lol, but it's still a patchwork of a fix.

Do you know what schedule is correct? We have referenced the bracket in-stream and through the bracket provided by Riot for Strike Arabia, but both seems to be incorrect.

Can you tell me what timezone is this?

will be updated automatically after the match

Stats isn't everything. A pessimistic, but objective view won't get you anywhere. A fish can't know if he's big or not till it reach the ocean, yes. But it doesn't mean that it cannot be confident in its own abilities to try and survive.

that's a meme, SkRossi isn't forsaken from CSGO iirc

Well, it seems they're going to release it officially. Valorant is slated to be revealed during the LoL Pro League finals weekend, iirc.

I wouldn't be surprised if many count SEA/JP/KR as the weakest teams once again. While Reykjavik did break the stigma of these regions of being cannon fodder, they weren't wrong per se either considering that while NUTURN went far, X10 finished 7-8th, and they defeated CR in order to avoid last place. But each match that they lost, they were competitive. And it pulled a lot of eyes towards them. However, that was Reykjavik.

Berlin brings an entirely new lineup for these regions, except CR who's the sole returner from the region. There's not enough sample size on how they would perform internationally, but regionally?

VS and F4Q bring a lot of versatility and creativity that we've seen out of the KR teams, and I think that'll be the catalyst for them on performing well if needed.

ZETA and CR bring that firepower and crazy playstyles that they've shown in the past, especially ZETA since we knew them as the dominant Absolute JUPITER pre-Masters 1.

Paper Rex brings the absolute stylish, flashiest, and aggressive style that SEA is known to have. f0rsakeN, if anything, embodies that nature. Bren Esports are also in the same vein. While SEA as a whole is a melting pot of aspects of gameplay from regions around them, they've always had that aggressive, in-your-face gameplay that might catch teams down if they underestimate them. You saw how it went for Team Vikings who almost lost to X10 in Reykjavik, and many had expected a sweep.

All-in-all, I expect either VS, ZETA, and/or Paper Rex/Bren to go further into the tournament if all goes right. Do I expect them to win the entire thing? Eh, not exactly. They're still fresh onto the international stage, but y'know, don't underestimate them.

It's not banned in China. It's just the licensing from Tencent that's not out yet, afaik.

I have hope. And that was X10. Not Paper Rex or Berlin. As much as I am realistic, I'm also hopeful.

Never underestimate SEA. You saw how Iceland went.

Absolutely. In that situation, Full Sense would have 235 points.

Even if they bombed Berlin, they should have enough points to be SEA's 2nd seed, barring a Bren Esports qualification where if both SEA teams bombed at 13-16th place, they will both have equal points (225 points)

Yep, I stand corrected. Even if they bombed Berlin, they should have enough points to be SEA's 2nd seed, barring a Bren Esports qualification.

I'm sure somewhere they're talking about the scene, especially considering China's social media circle (y'know, Weibo etc.)
