they could potentially start a dynasty
but they aint winning ts les be real
ENVY/OPTC/NRG would take #2 from PRX. FNC would still be #1 though.

if M8 win: Starxo becomes the 2nd player to win both a Champions and Masters
if NRG win: SkubaEthanMadaBrawk become the 2nd-5th players to win both a Champions and Masters
Sliggy mod daughter = best option
Sliggy mod son >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PRX stan daughter (not even close)
3 flukes:
SEN vs GENG GF Madrid 2024not a fluke. SEN were playing against a 2map ban advantage and still won. Very impressive. Fluke tournament though
Fnatic vs Loud Map 5 LOCK//IN 2023calling this a fluke?? LOUD almost reverse sweeping was the real fluke. Proven by Masters Tokyo results
trust me I know ball. all of these are indisputableyou dont gng
the real fluke was LOUD randomly coming back down 0-2 and almost reverse sweeping
-maniel
+ardiis
boaster's strat: ardiis will consume all the enemies
yo the EXACT same thing happened to me. I was even comming hella to my teammates as if it was comp. It felt like a ranked game. The teammates were so serious
I tryharded and won 13-11, satisfied with the "competitive" win, only to realize it was unrated.
FNATIC obviously
but ppl will say other teams cuz they hate FNC
bro i keep queueing into unrated
can they revert this menu change pls
PRX vs FUR
PRX vs (NRG/BBL)
PRX vs (G2/M8/AG/NS)
finals: PRX vs AMER
yoo wtf
also bbl said "We were going to pick NRG anyways"
top EU usually wins against NA (FNC, FPX(EU), TH)
bottom EU usually gets destroyed by NA (FUT, TL, etc)
0-0:
PRX win vs G2
FNC win vs T1
M8 win vs EDG
NRG win vs XLG
1-0:
PRX win vs NRG
FNC win vs M8
0-1:
G2 win vs XLG
T1 win vs EDG
1-1:
M8 win vs NRG
G2 win vs T1
4 Qualifying: PRX FNC, M8 G2
c9 wont make it to an event until 2030
NRG were not that crazy today. It was mostly TL choking round by round
true
the choice is between PRX and G2 for winner realistically
the winner will be 1 of: prx g2 m8 bbl (this doesnt help much, but you can be sure that nrg isnt winning the tournament)
the pickems for top 1-6 is very difficult
Boaster has a 100% international playoff rate with a full FNC roster at every international he has attended (12/17 International Events).
only time he didnt make it to playoffs was when FNC had 2 subs (1/17 International Events)
"amer > emea" is understandable
"prx > all emea teams but their owners (NAVI)" is understandable
but right now, Pacific > Emea is brainded no?
FUR fans arent ready to be disappointed 🤣🤣🤣
unlucky draw though. couldve been 5th-6th instead of 7th-8th if they could play NS or AG
thoughts?
would be the first tournament this would have happened in since LOCK//IN 2023
no no
EMEA >= AMER > PAC > CN
1-2 and grouped 4 tournaments in a row
TL is cooked gng. Stop sneaking into tournaments to get grouped and let EMEA win a trophy pls 🙏

^ this is what happens when the tournament isnt rigged against EMEA (and TL doesnt sneak into the tournament). all 4 EMEA teams in the playoffs and an EMEA vs EMEA in the finals.
NS 1st: Mickey
AG 1st: Mickey
FUR gets 2nd to anyone but BBL: Mickey
BBL gets 2nd to anyone but FUR: Mickey
anything else: Valid tournament (No Mickey)
emea teams:
harder matches -> strats given away -> lose a fluked b03 -> get 2nd place
other teams:
easier matches -> save strats -> get 2 map ban in the finals -> fluke win

keep rigging tournaments rito
yes. always going 1-2 in internationals
edg got 3rd in bangkok
pretty good
if ur talking about SEN getting 4th at champs, it was just wayyy later
I meant TL went 1-2 in 4 tournaments in a row
TL has been grouped 6 tournaments in a row (Tokyo 2023 doesnt count since they didnt play in groups and had a playoffs bye)
i couldve gotten 100% pickem if I believed in PRX to fluke 2 wins against Americas
very ez-to-predict tournament though
Single Elim is punishing and teams are more locked in (allowing for less flukes to happen).
not before 2024
it used to be 1st seeds from groups play against PAC/CN(orSouthAmerica) playoffs teams and 2nd seeds from groups play against AMER(orNA)/EMEA playoff teams.
AMERICAS and EMEA were objectively better regions back then
u just proved my point. the fluky team in uppers gets an advantage
also it is easier to fluke in b03s than b05s. so by giving the fluky team an advantage in b05, you've basically made it easier for the fluky team to win the tournament
every single elim finals is more valid than all double elim finals cuz double elim finals have 2 map ban (rigged finals)
double are more mickey than single
if ur gonna call single elim tourneys mickey, then all tournaments are mickey
only reason LOCK//IN isnt a fluke is cuz FNATIC proved themselves the next tournament (this is unlike Madrid & Bangkok where SEN and T1 fell off right after)
otherwise it would be a mickey
Tournaments & if they are mickey mouse or not:
ye pretty mickey (unless BBL wins even with like 3rd or 4th in draw order)
emea is winning this tournament (I got no doubt in my mind). BBL vs M8 is the finals
fr
still one issue with the format though. the 4 playoffs teams get to decide their group match-up in the order of a luck-based draw. rigged
3 of the first 4 games in playoffs will also be snoozefest losses (AG/FUR/NS)
only BBL vs group team (PRX/M8/NRG/G2) will be interesting
"americas > pacific = emea > china"
best u can get is amer=emea > pac > cn
