Bren's pitch did not work :(

Need to wait till Stage 2, EDG was still insane Stage 1 last year getting 3rd at Bangkok

I think he dies just enough random pop culture references for it to be fun. Sometimes a bit excessive but for a group like platchat with the unserious attitude. Its nice

2021 Cned

The strat from 100T of finding Cned and going to the other site worked

Simply put its really about money (players get a bag somewhere else or team is trying to cut costs)
Teams are also never guaranteed to win, something I love about this game is how many new teams have lifted trophies and how hard it is to create a dynasty given all the meta shifts every few months. This makes teams actually think how worth it is to keep expensive players.

cracked duelist on a mid team

You make a good point, there's around 16 days worth of event if what you said is true. I fear M1 - M4 and M9 - M12 will be Bo1 to save time...

meL > Mel

FNC Tokyo having the greatest lower bracket run just to meet the guys who knocked them down in the first place

Ps Sick Bracket, very fun to look at

There's no way its ₩5,000 and not ₩5,000,000 right? Cause that would be $5 USD

.

Why do I still support this team

Floppy

Does Simon get revenge here?

Has a Japanese team even made an international since then?

maybe this is why zellsis went to C9

Asu no yozara shoukaihan

Simple compromise
After groups are complete, the first seed can either choose between the 3rd/4th seed and the remaining team plays against the 2nd seed

He just has the 1st and 2nd seed from every region making it

not sure if this is a /woosh by me but the link provided is for people to open their own pickems
of course everyone has the same as their own XD

With Vo0kashu's stating that his Visa status is promising, will Demon1 even get to play a map at this rate?

I heckin love primmie and wanted to see Talon win but your mechanical goat can't possibly pull this off on a closeout game to Champs

fayde also mentioned current and ex pros/coaches so nothing is confirmed

hes already there (plays pro city)

I'm sorry why do the MENA teams get more points for winning their domestic title (which made them auto qualify to ascension)

the Guard Core

its probably just to keeping the playoffs during the weekends (where the viewership would be highest) where possible

NRG have the higher ceiling but just a C9 fan, the only faith in them making an international in the partnership era

Great suggestions! Main thing I would improve upon is regarding your ascension tournaments (since your structure has no stability for Orgs that perform well regionally ie. G2 / XLG)

At the end of the day, we know Riot ain't doing allat but it was a fun read :)

The OGs know they were previously called Kingzone DragonX

unless 2G makes champs (and does better than G2), G2 is already guaranteed for next year

Something the goat

C9 :(

GOAT

Dropped 73 in 3 maps

Bump so I can look at this later

Has to be Group D right?

I feel like midrounders are so underrated
IGLs should focus on the main gameplan (discussions between rounds on what should be expected) and midrounders will adapt the plan based on what is currently happening in the round, they both don't need to be the same person.

All it was is that G2 found a playstyle with Tejo that worked really well with their playstyle. They are all amazing players but they just got to used to postplant/hits that relied on the missiles.

food poisoning doesn't occur to locals because their immune systems have adapted to the bacteria present, anyways was just a joke my bad

teams would need to field 10 man rosters to cover all the food poisoning that occurs /s

Stage 2 winner + runner-up (second place) get into champs, then it takes the top 2 based on total points for the year.

If you look at viewership numbers he's definitely falling a bit (ever since FNS came back to streaming), I do think he's gotten better at actually watching the game

grand finals is also in the same arena unfortunately

easy to have fun when you're just destroying the opposition, hard agree

SEN vs FNC - bring back iceland
