C9 lowkey always pulls out the craziest upsets in regular season and then choke when it matters, I'm going against all logic and saying they win this all the way through upper finals, then lose and choke the lower finals and miss out on LAN by 1 spot like they always do.

C9 2 -1 NRG

How can he possibly be overrated with the amount of haters he has

Lower odds is better bro, they have better odds

Said the same about M8 and Bleed, also everyone said that about last year's Apeks and every single one of their 5 players ended up being hot garbage once they got to their respective tier 1 teams. Stop overrating tier 2 teams already

c0m cleared nzr during their head to head matchup btw

This is such a dumb take cherry-picking the success stories while we've seen other tier 2 guys get rocked as soon as they enter tier 1. Bleed and M8 as a whole got rolled. Keiko was ass. Enzo was ass. Shadow was ass. Magnum was ass. Mistic was uber ass. Havoc, Hiroronn and Yoran were some of the worst players I've had the misfortune of laying eyes upon. Some guys are tier 2 because they belong there. Looking good in tier 2 is not some automatic sign they should be in tier 1

Congrats to Apeks! But truthfully, a lowkey uninspiring run for a team so hyped due to their weak Polaris region. Lots of close games that were only won by opponents throwing. Can't help but peg them as a bottom tier team in Tier 1 in their current state

GenG was certainly not a fluke and you could easily argue that they are still a top 3 team in this tourney. They lost to the team that was a close runner-up to them last Masters and went 1-1 against a team that has won the other Masters this year. There is definitely a valid argument that these are literally the best three teams of the year, especially if Heretics wins Champs. Deadliest group of all time probably.

Trade Zest to T1 for Rossy and Xccurate

Trade Rossy and Xccurate to Bleed for Zest

Nzr wouldn't be doing shit buddy C0M literally diffed the fuck outta him less than a month ago

Because the meta had shifted by then so that you couldn't just set up a Chamber Op as your win condition? You must be at most Bronze to be spewing so much BS while clearly knowing nothing about the game. Crashies perfect util, Victor selflessly entrying so yay could trade, and FNS/Chet calling and gameplan were all more key to yay's success than his actual mechanics/skills as clearly shown by what happened next to him in C9/DSG/Bleed

I thought that in a 3 way record tie, it would be broken by maps won, maps lost, then round diff. Apparently this is not the case? Because if EG win, Kru lose, and 100T lose 0-2, then they would all be 5-5 but EG would have 12 maps won and 100T 11 maps won. So what is the actual tiebreaker method if EG is already eliminated from playoffs?

Wish they would also make a Finals MVP award so Jawg could get recognition
