the achievement calculation took the past 3 months' tournaments into consideration, but given the drought in activity in the off season it's not functioning as intended

will release a fix by tomorrow

https://www.vlr.gg/transfers

(ignore the title)

have to VPN to Brazil to access it

should be fixed now

bracket was changed (old one included a grand final so we had to reset it) but i'll try to migrate everyone's picks over to the new one

If you've won, please check your DMs for instructions on how to redeem your prize.

The 10 winners:

355 🇪🇸 dVilaa
345 🇪🇸 luckyone23
330 🇪🇸 Paaablitooo
330 🇹🇷 KarLLosTT
330 🇱🇹 Nbs
330 🇲🇽 Romans
325 🇪🇨 Kefxd
325 🇺🇸 Slugger
315 🇵🇪 Alessandro
315 🇹🇷 WanHeda31

Because there was a seven-way tie for 315 points, we had to conduct a random draw to determine the last two winners. Unfortunately, the following users didn't make the cut:

315 🇺🇾 Deephz
315 🇹🇷 SirYakup
315 🇪🇸 wilfred
315 🇷🇺 be_sashok
315 🇨🇴 Mayitas

However, we're working on some badges to recognize winners of major pick'em events, so all users listed here will receive permanent recognition for their achievement on their user profiles.

gg

lol

the 2 new leaders got the decider right, which is worth more than the the other matches within the same bracket

working on more mod tools

stop

you're worse than whatever you think of the other side

1. regional
2. combination of form rating (gain/loss depending on strength of opponent) + achievement rating (points given for placements in notable tournaments that decay over time)

ORDER's 2500 rating does not mean they're better or worse than PRX or VK, just that they're the best in their respective region (OCE)

all regions are eligible

they're locked for the group stage, but you can still participate in the playoffs pickem once the bracket is finalized

1) what if I am from Pakistan?
2) your viewership thread was removed because there were already multiple others posted prior to yours
3) you decided to continue and repost the exact same thread again
4) you were warned
5) you ignored the warning, and were banned for one hour

you can still edit your picks prior to the start of the first match in each bracket

all

Some basic rules:

• In the event of a tie, winner(s) in that tier of points will be chosen by random draw.
• Limit of one submission per individual.
• Users who attempt to cheat or otherwise violate the spirit of fairness will be disqualified.
• Winners will be contacted via site DM, but if you want to be proactive you can also send us a DM @VLRdotgg if you've won.

We're partnering with VAXEE this time around to add a little bonus incentive and fun to this event's pick'ems.

The top 10 users by combined group stage and playoff bracket score will receive a VAXEE mouse or mousepad (optionally custom-printed) of their choice.

If you haven't already, head over to the Champions pick'em page and submit your picks. You'll have until the start of the first match (in just under 2 days) to lock in your best guess for the group stage.

Edit: To clarify, all regions are eligible for prizes.

should show you the reason going forward

dmed you the reason for your previous ban

thanks

🤔

regional rankings were never meant to be compared with each other

this is true both before and now -- there simply isn't enough interregional play to glean anything meaningful from it

made a mistake and put the dev/staging branch onto the live, but since the cat's out of the bag i'll work on patching it up to have things in a usable state

rankings will be scuffed for a bit

what you're proposing is already planned, but lower priority than some other features that need attention first

val.gg was taken (as mentioned)

vlr is better for search anyways though so it was all for the better

america is ironically home to the worst fast food in the world (kfc/mcdonalds/any chain is generally much better abroad)

however, the availability and quality of international cuisine is without a doubt unmatched, especially in cities like LA/NYC

no
