next year they really need to go back to whole region standings and just make the top 8 teams get playoffs like they did in 2023 with the top 6

it does IF LEV lose to 100T and KRU beat NRG

then LOUD is playing for 4th seed but MiBR is still eliminated no matter what

the greatest brazillian player of all time, SATO PEQENO

the loud mibr game has influence if 100t wins, because then lev is 2-3, whoever between loud and mibr wins also goes 2-3 and ties lev, if loud wins they have tiebreaker over lev and get 4th, but if mibr wins lev has tiebreaker over them so lev 4th

if multiple teams end 3-2 lev can win out from that tie

I was running all the possibilities on vctstandings dot com, nrg win we're in but kru win + lev win it's 1st seed, if kru win + 100t win then it comes down to mibr vs loud where we need mibr to save us

1 down, if NRG win next week they guarantee 1st seed but LEV guarantees playoffs, if KRU wins it comes down to LEV winning vs 100T (or MIBR beating LOUD) but that win would give 1st seed so its more high risk high reward

but if KRU 100T and LOUD all win next week we're out

only in direct one on one tiebreakers, in groups of 3 or more its map diff then round diff

this is one of the closest groups i've ever seen i believe that every team but mibr has a path to 1st seed and its week 4

100T 2-1 LOUD
KRU 2-0 NRG
LEV 2-0 100T
MIBR X-X LOUD (doesn't matter)

Creates a 4 way 3-2 tie between LEV, KRU, NRG, 100T that LEV wins by highest map diff (+3)
Otherwise comes down to round diff

1% chance 99% faith VAMOS

he's so intelligent holy fuck

he won emea duelist of the year in 2024 when he's not trying to be a flex igl whatever the fuck i'd say he's a star player

I think EP BCF and JL are top 3 contenders but only 2 can go :(

In case you didn't see it, (I believe) due to APK and M8 failing to requalify to ascension, it is now confirmed that BCF and EP have qualified to EMEA Ascension 2025, where the top 2 finishers will ascend to VCT EMEA 2026.

Good for them!

It's like old PRX how they just pushed fights because they knew they would just out-skill the other team

But old PRX could never win with that strategy and it took injecting more patience and tactical depth with patmen to win, so what's NVs plan?

meiy has what it takes but he doesn't have half the talent on dfm that donk does on spirit (even though dfm is starting to look better)

i see, enterprise won challengers EMEA stage 2 and are arguable favorites for EMEA ascension as a whole lol

not sure why youd pick so hard against EP and TLA when they're the clear favorites

W 100T for investing in GC

its just so shit when yoru is straight up better than all flash initiators

Enterprise and JL will be the EMEA 2026 ascension teams

zeta can't make playoffs, the top 4 in that group are locked in and zeta isn't one of them

hiro is a beast when he's online but I think vook is a bit more consistent. you're probably right that he's a sidegrade, but there's merit to it

giants is weird because they're probably the best landing spot for him but also westside is really good so there's some tension there

westside and benjy are both really good for their teams (plus th just extended benjy's contract) but I could see like NaVi or KC picking him up bc he's probably an upgrade to hiro or elite

my team is giving me hope and then losing at the finish line this is soul crushing

im so tired boss

nah the call was ass why are we going mid in icebox just take b main again its worked every round

82, sato would need to ace and go crazy in OT to break it

going back to challengers france because you can't close at 12

bad look

i need to figure out how to stop getting so emotional over this shit because this team is ruining my weekends

tuyz is a modern tragedy

they had 3 bums and also aside from 1 or 2 maps series sato wasn't playing nearly as good as his m80/lev form

sato:
-godlike yoru
-great neon and raze
-decent jett

aspas:
-great neon, raze, and jett
-mid as fuck yoru

if i'm smart and want to play the best duelist in the game i'm taking sato

"I'll take care of him"
-NRG demon1 about facing LEV aspas this week

might be top 3 in americas already

his first game is gonna be against g2 poor guy

haven is vitality's map if they close at least one Xv2 but noooo

how many Xv2's is vit gonna throw

miniboo prefired kicks coming out of woot's iso ult, ran out of ammo before killing kicks, and kicks got him and had time to defuse

envy as an org would ascend though, cubert literally cannot receive an invitation to the ascension tournament

and they can't even go to ascension lmao it's exolos or bust

imagine being a m8 fan watching them pull this shit 3 weeks in a row i’d be on my knees too

is it just joever for you?

it isnt, iirc sideshow said that the talent has to vote for one player in the grand finals and even though alfa played like a beast forsaken got more votes in the end

sato might be him but also damn mibr got broken in the ewc quals and toronto

that champs 24 jersey was beautiful i loved the white and orange

fut looked rough but aslo vit looked so much better, unfake and kovaq really acclimated to the stage i think

what a lovely day for hatewatching <3
