Favorite position? (in football)
i have no ball knowledge, but i picked cryo because i needed a 10.5 VP sentinel. am i doing good
is she gonna stay unnerfed ALL of stage 1?? kill me if so
this is actually a pretty good system! if we can make it 12 teams i would definitely be in support. the downsides are that it's confusing to casual players, and you can't prepare ahead of time. but this does fit the sweet spot of most teams playing 6-7 (haha) games, with only two teams playing 4.
another curiosity: which games should be BO5? the 3-0 game (qualification match) should be a BO5, but then you would have teams doing a BO5 then doing a non-BO5 after, which is a bit weird
i'm not saying we power creep past prime chamber, tejo, and jett, we just want 11.08 reverted bro. if you like precise gunplay, go play cs, i play val because of the util
(i wrote this before seeing your bracket, i'll comment on that at the end)
i don't really like quad elim because early wins matter so much more than late wins. for example, a team with a bye only needs to win 2 games before they have 4 chances to qualify. new bracket for reference (here they are seeded 1 (a) to 12 (l) and the higher seed wins each time):
-----------------------------------------------------
el . de . . . . ad . . . . . . . . . . . ab . a
fk . cf . . . . bc
gj . bg
hi . ah
-----------------------------------------------------
. . . hl . eh . ce . . . . . . . cd . bc . b
. . . gk . fg . df
. . . fj
. . . ei
-----------------------------------------------------
. . . il . gi . eg . . . . . ef . de . cd . c
. . . jk . hj . fh
-----------------------------------------------------
. . . . . . ik . hi . gh . fg . ef . de . d
. . . . . . jl . gj
a team with a bye could go WWLLLW and qualify (3-3), while a non-bye team could go WLLWLWWWWWL (7-4) and not qualify.
naturally, the fix would be something swiss-like, like in the traditional 16-team swiss where each win and loss is equally important. however, this is of course difficult with only 12 teams, more than 3-5 games per team, and only picking 4 to advance. (for example, the T2 swiss stages, which require 4 wins to advance, have a weird 3-2 vs 2-3 matchup in the middle, and there would only be more of this when you deviate further.)
okay so now that i saw your bracket: i can't really understand what's going on here? two teams disappear in bracket 2, round 4; the arrows from bracket 2, round 5 point to nothing; and one team magically appeared in bracket 4, round 6. another issue arises with trying to fit our current 12 teams, since deleting 4 teams from this bracket has some bad effects down the line (e.g. two teams in bracket 3, round 4 get a bye while the others don't). however, i like how this addresses my issue of upper bracket matches "skipping to the right" a ton, as it did in my bracket, so if we can work this out that i am all for it!
can we stop nerfing and start buffing please
nah bro its not, otherwise i would be gay
if wikipedia is a bad source, try any of the dictionaries:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metric%20system
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/metric-system
https://www.britannica.com/science/metric-system-measurement
nobody uses the words "metric system" to refer to any other measurement system.
if you want to talk about the precise nature of language and meanings of words, there's a reason why it's called a measurement system, not a metric system.
"measurement system" = how do we measure things? what unit should we use to measure distance, mass, etc?
"metric system" = how do we evaluate things? which formulae are a good measurement of performance, quality, etc?
i know they're similar words, but "metric" is never used in the very general sense of measuring something with units. "The length measurement of my cylinder is 4 inches" is fine, "The length metric of my cylinder is 4 inches" sounds like you're trying to evaluate how good your cylinder is selling on amazon and you think length is a good thing to look for. other sentences that sound unsemantic to me: "the stopwatch found the time metric", "she used the pound metric instead of the kilogram metric", "this ruler has the wrong metric"
to be fair, everyone speaks their own slightly different version of english, and if "metric system" makes sense in that context to you, good for you. but as far as i can tell, most english speakers do not recognize your definition of "metric".
i think ur thinking about "system of measurement"? correct me if i'm wrong though, wikipedia tells me the metric system doesn't just mean "any system with metrics"
i normally dont like your posts berlinglazer... but ty for this one. meow 😿😿😿
i'd say you give miks to EITHER the musician guests (since it's fitting) OR the best players (to showcase his full kit/ult), they kind of gave it to random people...
i genuinely believed you and checked the score, they lost 13-2 bro
exactly, clove is already full of people pretending to fill smokes when they don't care about their team... now their combat ability is barely affected while being even LESS useful to their team
erm technically vyse (ok true it recharges)
harder for the best teams, easier for most teams
at least they didnt lose a map to china 😭😭😭😭
wow, there's a 30-40% chance that the pope watches vct?
I totally agree though, I think it's totally unfair that BBL aren't allowed to use the odin. Why would they add a rule like that?
i disagree, i think they might win two or even three rounds (maybe)
PRX and NRG: both beat fnc at 2025 international grand finals
M8 and TL: both beat fnc at 2026 kickoff grand finals
good luck to all fnc killer teams, may you defeat the fnc killer teams today
cuz i just woke up and missed this yesterday and i am obligated to get my opinion out
each individual draw was monitored and fair, but the choice between draws is not fair. if the three draws in question are A (live draw), B (shuffled live draw), and C (redraw), then sure the original host may have had a choice between A and B (although she announced A before drawing it, so it’s pretty obviously fair), while leo had a choice between A, B, and C (or even B and C if they were “forced” to redraw), which has no evidence of being pre-decided. I’ll happily change my mind if there’s a rule in the rulebook that says “If there is a mistake in the draw before XX time, then there will be a live re-draw” to force leo’s hand
look up optional stopping bias for a similar example in statistics
the teams won’t be playing at their best, duh
redraws already ruined it, to me this won’t be the best masters unless every map goes to ot from now on
did you read my post? they had a choice of how to do the redraw. this means they had every opportunity to rig it, hence it is not fair
i see some people complaining about the new matchups and prep time, but conceding that the redraw is more fair. here’s why it is not:
basically they looked at the current matchups, considered the new matchups if they shuffled the teams, and then decided to have a shot at some other matchups instead
i think corrode is underrated, i think ascent is overrated, and even i would put ascent over corrode
i disagree, the random bootstrap method is pretty nice, but it's not ALL of statistics
start throwing all ur attack rounds except on pearl, lotus, and corrode
sometimes i fall asleep to val commentary and i can barely tell which team won the round, this is too much information. also no caster would be that excited about a 2k during a 1v5 (what are they doing on the wrong site anyway?). horrible casting tbh
