all teams get bundle money, wdym?

Why are we still yapping about the format?

i've been saying this: EMEA's trophy looked like a 3d printed, inverted rocket booster, which I'm pretty sure you can pour in a fck ton of beer in it and chug it

that malaysia must be a troll, right? being from malaysia, RDA would be the proudest i'll be for us but even then, its not that dense tho

bro EMEA's is literally a 3d printed, inverted rocket booster trophy ToT

it is inevitable, someone gonna get grouped, so why are we trash talking about this?

hehe

He even qualified for apac ascension and that speaks something about him

h2h tiebreaker guarantees the team to do better, that's just math

add neon into his agent pool, i guess... we'll see

walk and crouch hehehe

fade eye be fatphobic

nahhh they playing ascent with that comp

you mean PNG?

can still qualify by points, given LEV and SEN get top 3

if 100T loses, LEV and SEN need to get top 3 for 100T to qualify by points

if 100T wins, they need to get top 3

For some reason I dont like EDG winning against BLG... but nonetheless they won so congrats to them

Congrats to all, especially BLG for that absolute cinema performance

Someone's hurting here... u good lil bro?

That's the incentive for winning? What?

If you're KC fan, you need to support teams that go against Vitality

done

updated

VIT (6) vs NAVI (5) --------> TH (12) vs .......
FNC (14) vs KC (8) --------> FUT (11) vs .....

FNC - already qualified at least by points
TH/FUT - only way to not qualify is by FNC loses elimination (and therefore qualified by points) and TH/FUT loses twice (FUT/TH, KC, VIT/NAVI qualified by top 3)
KC - ways to qualify
1) FNC, TH, FUT qualify by top 3, so KC qualify by points
2) KC qualify by top 3
VIT/NAVI - only way to qualify is by reaching top 3

for you chrlxz and islaaa

nooo i mean any team can beat KRU/C9 so that KRU/C9 wont reach top 3

any team can... just need to beat them

yes, one of KRU/C9 will def eliminated and the other need to place 4th, which then they wont have enough points to qualify

for you

would it makes you happy if I do one for EMEA too?

yeahh same, i dont really want them in champs

sed :((
trying to not be a toxic vlr user, just trying to have fun and giving info

Scenario 1: SEN beats G2 (champs points in bracket)
KRU (7) vs C9 (6) ----------> LEV (12) vs ......
G2 (9) vs 100T (11) ------> SEN (14) vs ......

Scenario 2: G2 beats SEN
KRU (7) vs C9 (6) -----------> LEV (12) vs ......
SEN (12) vs 100T (11) ----> G2 (11) vs ......

LEV - already qualified to champs at least by points (only lost to C9 in stage 1)
SEN - only way to not qualify to champs if lost elimination in Scenario 2, and LEV lost twice (100T, G2, KRU/C9 qualify by top 3, LEV by points)
G2 - ways to not qualify
1) in Scenario 1, lost elimination and KRU/C9 get top 3
2) in Scenario 2, lost twice (LEV, KRU/C9, SEN/100T by top 3, 100T/SEN by points)
100T - ways to not qualify
1) in Scenario 1, 100T loses elimination and LEV/SEN qualify by points
2) in Scenario 2, 100T loses elimination and LEV/SEN qualify by points
3) in Scenario 2, 100T wins elimination and then loses twice (G2, KRU/C9, LEV by top 3, SEN by points)
KRU/C9 - either eliminated or need to qualify by top 3

i think so..... ;-;

100T (6th seed) against SEN/G2 (3rd seed)
KRU (4th seed) against C9 (5th seed)

SEN vs G2 is a match to determine 2nd and 3rd seed

Not everything is American based....

double elim guarantees better ranking... top 8, top 6, top 4, 3, 2, champion instead of single elims top 8, top 4, 2, 1 so better reward distribution

also, it's 8 teams only, why not prolong the tournament, istg you guys complain for too few matches and too many matches at the same time, PICK YOUR SIDES!

talon won h2h against ts during regular season (stage 1)

need someone for Malaysia... not me tho

me want

i believe if you want to suggest a country, might as well suggest the actual venue/stadium they will play in

you can only have so much....

1. too many tournaments will make it less special for winning them
2. there are 4 international leagues, every league deserves their screen time (if not, what the point)
3. and no, saying some leagues are not worthy or some are better to prioritize is also wrong

so PRX 1st, TS 2nd, DRX 3rd, GENG points.... seems accurate enough

we're complaining about regular season being bad for splitting into two stages and want more matches for teams...
but now we want less matches for CHAMPIONS??? THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS VCT EVENT OF THE YEAR???
very interesting......

yeah but tbf it's just one extra point, cuz if you win two matches in playoffs, you're basically in top 3 already (exception to the 1st and 2nd seed's bye, where they also got extra point, simulating a win in the single elim)

english or spanish?

because both EDG and FPX are 1st and 2nd seed, so one of them must qualify as top 3, and the other will at least have enough champs points to qualify also, since no team can catch up to their points

Now it's a game of stamina.. whoever can hold on wins

With the current champs points and playoffs seed, there will be at least 1 Korean team and 2 SEA teams, so cannot send all 4 SEA teams to champs unfortunately
