Wait dapr is back?

Lol and then he picks the team on like a 20 game match winstreak and they lose.

I feel like when teams play with their academy teams in these events they should go under a different team label.

Yeah I just looked that up, because heretics get a guaranteed spot for winning last year. China is definitely the worst region so I get it but I also think it might have been more fair to do some sort of playin for the 4th seeds instead.

I see, that does change it a bit. I might lean towards the bag then but it depends on what the org vs player split is since that reduces the monetary impact. And you can definitely coast off a masters win to keep yourself employed for years.

Bag is only a bit bigger, 500k vs 350 for masters. I would take a bit less money for the extra prestige/fame.

Does China only get 3 slots for ewc?

Oops

VLR mistake. He was actually 9/20.

This format is so weird.

Yeah I’m looking pretty wrong right now. They did finally move off of the phoenix comp though and brought back Smoggy’s raze.

I’m an EDG fan so definitely EDG. I think they lose Lotus here though and win it on Split.

Kind of crazy this is only the second vct match these teams have ever played.

Tiebreaker is h2h. M8 beat Navi so they’re through to playoffs even though they lost this game. Both teams were locked in the 2-4 slots although they possibly could have changed the order within those depending.

This sorex guy is putting up crazy numbers every game. Surely he gets picked up soon.

Most of the roster are new, young players too. This split is only their second as a team.

All the commenters saying DRX would intentionally lose the series to GENG now silent. Interesting.

What a calamity for NRGA

Imvietnamesegirl might be the goat. 9-3 and 9-1 comebacks while almost dropping 30 in regulation twice.

The four playoff teams from omega are better overall, they just also had the two worst teams in the region.

Jesus christ man. It’s just a game. Did he steal your girlfriend or something?

Lol now they have both f4ngeer and delb.

Something has gone terribly wrong when crazyguy is top fragging.

Data glitch, so f4ngeer and delb get constantly swapped.

Definitely the worst part about vlr. So many gamblers whining about match fixing because they lost all their money on a match.

The faithful are rewarded.

Winning wouldn’t clinch 2nd because if EDG then beat XLG it could be a 3 way tie at 4-1.

Fair enough. I really thought you made a typo because you put wsleo from xlg as the mvp and because it would have been a big upset.

Kru blaze has made it t2 as well.

Imvietnamesegirl is my goat

KK reminding china who their goat is this split.

Wolves look pretty terrible right now too so I could see that but no way Trace loses to this current nova team. On the other hand they lost by 21 rounds to EDG, 14 to DRG, and only 7 to XLG. So, if we extrapolate that out then trace is a coinflip and they beat wolves.

Surely you meant to put XLG there.

Almost 3.0 kd over two maps is ridiculous.

Imagine if they get 26-0’d again.

18-5 on bind, but trace did still manage to win 10 rounds.

Spitfires and lucas have been playing for a while but they’ve haven’t actually played many games in VCT. Spitfires joined VCT in 2024 but has only played two splits. Lucas has a bunch of t3 pug games on vlr but I think t3 experience is pretty different from being in t1. As a whole, the team has like 7 years of t1 experience with most of that being haodong. Also lucas is literally 19. I don’t think you can be called a veteran when you’re that young. Actually even haodong is only 23, but the Chinese scene is very young in general. He’s the only guy on the team I would say needs to go to the retirement home. EDG or Trace are teams that I would consider to be full of vets over TEC.

TEC aren’t even old anymore they’re just ass. Haodong is the only truly veteran guy. Spitfires has been around a bit but the other 3 are all pretty new/young.

I thought both teams had agreed to pug it out at first with no smokes lol. The KDAs are all fucked up too. I imagine it’s something wrong with the vlr tracking.

6/27 is a worse KD ratio though, they just played fewer rounds. Also 41 adr vs 54 adr is miserable especially since ara was on duelist.

Are SR not playing game changers anymore?

Lol they still haven’t fixed it. But I don’t expect much from vlr for Chinese games anyway. The stats always come in late or sometimes not at all.

Vlr mistake I think. Broadcast had him with 140 adr and 245 acs. I think somehow they copied Nobody’s stats onto KK’s since they have the same adr/acs here.

Wait wtf this is actually insane.

Damn, still no stats? Also we were one round away from a complete 3 way tie.

It’s going to be so funny if FPX win the whole tournament with their coach.

Even some of the main event matches are bo1 lol.

13-0

One of the other teams in the event has a thai player so I don’t think so.

Damn wada look ass although they do have a stand-in.
