By beating C9 everything changed

EG don't have that many fans, so they obviously aren't worse than Faze which has a ton

I honestly have no clue why TSM could only beat 100T. Strats or comps, idk

Yea it's crazy

Seeding Scenarios:

GROUP A:

XSET can get 1st seed if Ghost wins, otherwise, if 100T wins, they will get 2nd seed (H2H over Ghost)

100T can get 1st seed if they win, otherwise if they lose, they will get 3rd seed (H2H over XSET and Ghost)

Ghost can get 2nd seed if they win, otherwise they will get 3rd seed (No H2H wins)

NRG and Guard can get 4th seed by winning

GROUP B:

1st seed: Whoever wins Optic/LG will get first seed

2/3/4 seed:
The records shown are MAP WINS/LOSSES
LG loses 1-2

2. Faze: 6-4
3. LG: 7-5 (by maths)
4. EG: 6-5

LG loses 0-2

2. Faze 6-4
3. EG 6-5
4. LG 6-5 (round differential, LG cannot catch up, only tie, which EG wins H2H tiebreaker)

Optic loses 1-2

2. Optic: 8-5
3. Faze: 6-4
4. EG: 6-5

Optic loses 0-2

2. Faze: 6-4
3. Optic: 7-5 (also maths)
4. EG 6-5

Please correct me if I'm wrong, also for the 6-4 and 7-5 I used division ratio stuff, but idk if it's by that or wins.

Oh nah I stay with this team idk what u talking about

Also broke Soniqs

TSM should find a free agent that is good at most of these agents listed:
breach, sova, viper, maybe sage

Bro bottom fragged in 4 of the 5 VCT series pls cut him or bench him

Ur team is pretty bad too

TSM can break the curse through the third-party tournaments, but they're out for the season
If TSM wins, it shows that they're an unlucky team and they cant win against even level opponents

M3C is just inherently weak against EMEA teams

trust me

Everybody is confused so I'll make it clear, but first:
Tiebreakers:
TWO-WAY TIE

1. H2H

THREE-WAY TIE

1. Map Difference
2. Round Difference

BBL IS ELIMINATED

How M3C makes playoffs:
M3C needs BIG and NAVI to lose

How BIG makes playoffs:
BIG needs to win and NAVI to lose

How NAVI makes playoffs:
They must make playoffs through a THREE-WAY TIE
They need to win (DUE TO the MAP DIFFERENCE, IF THEY WIN, THEY WILL WIN THE TIEBREAKER (7 wins, cannot be overtaken by any other team))

Matches to watch:
NAVI vs GUILD
BIG vs BBL

Please correct me if anything is wrong, but these are the scenarios.

FPX 2-1 or FPX 2-0, but FPX for sure wins

4 way or 3 way tie is by map wins

yes navi can get in if they beat guild, big loses, and m3c loses because 3 way tie, first tiebreaker is maps

they can strat against them, they have played against them, they haven't against guild

ah yes the emea people, yall will probably still do bad at copenhagen

no they won't, they'll face FPX, if you know how seeding works

well it depends if liquid can win their first round

If they win, they'll face FPX, second round Fnatic, if they lose they'll face Acend, second round Guild

Acend 2nd seed, FPX 3rd seed

yup

we got neon on breeze, a yoru pick, and the short-range fade on this map wtff

Number 1 100T fan huh

honestly though you guys keep losing and missing out on vct, so close every time but yall miss it, be honest about it

YaBoiDre is coldddddddd
4.67 KDA and 458 ACS in 16 rounds damn

TSM wins cuz

1. Plat Chat
2. TSM playin for fun
3. XSet not prepared for the crazy comps

i dont look at emea preds so tell me
but everybody agreed on (which is the curse)
XSET beating TSM
Guard beating NRG
EG beating Faze
expect some curses and upsets
and idk what happened with LG and Optic idk they trolling or no

this is absolutely hilarious, but at the same time, I'm not experienced in my European cities

This is some ESPN article type shi

Mel premiership s3 should be pretty fun, especially group A

This is a crazy good format

TSM just unlucky that they lost those matches even though they're a good team. Imma just ignore the haters

3 months is a pretty long time

Does NA have one of the worst VCT formats this year? It's kind of ridiculous that it's early June, and there will only be 8 teams playing for the rest of the year+ C9 and possibly Sentinels or Guard in LCQ. Everybody else's season is over, which is a majority of professional Valorant players in NA.
Any way to fix this poor 2 challengers format because I don't think the third party tournaments will be that hype or important

It's so hard I've lost 4 straight with 2 team mvps

22.5% hs rate and im bronze 1
hardstuck and prob because I always solo queue

They're called hot takes for a reason

NA: Ghost loses two in a row in playoffs and misses LCQ
Optic doesn't make Masters Copenhagen
EG makes Masters Copenhagen
100T makes Masters Copenhagen
XSET doesn't get 4th

EMEA:
Acend makes Masters and FPX doesn't
Guild loses two straight in playoffs and eliminated
M3C makes Masters
Big makes a run in playoffs
(this can't happen along with above take combined)

APAC: Paper Rex misses Masters
Xerxia misses Masters
Global eSports gets out of groups
Two of the play-in teams will make playoffs
Oasis Gaming makes playoffs and Order doesn't
Team Secret makes Masters again
Gaimin gladiators top 4
Onic G make Masters
(These can't all happen together)

LATAM: Kru doesnt get first in LATAM North and South
EXL wins LATAM

BR: NIP beats the LATAM team in LATAM vs BR

no KR

JP: Crazy Racoons makes Masters
Zeta Division misses Masters

Some of these takes are extremely hot so don't criticize me

Liquid will have to see, ACE vs FPX is right before them

Yes it is a must win for Liquid to get second seed. However, you have to face Acend or FPX in the first round

Winner should have a way easier path to Masters Copenhagen, so hoping FPX wins

TSM, can't really think of another team that suffered so many unlucky moments like that. Way too many close games. They could've made playoffs, but now the seasons over. Next team I thought of would be G2 but G2 lost to London United so nah (OG LDN UNT)

Thanks bro very helpful since i don't have the time to work this out

1. (-) Optic Gaming
   In reality, this teams experience, and even a slight loss shouldn't affect the fact that this team is still good.

2. (+3) Evil Geniuses
   After beating Optic and beating Luminosity the week before, Evil Geniuses look like an extremely strong team, and they have control of the group. Even though they are a talented team, playoffs may hit them differently.

3. (-1) 100 Thieves
   Probably the strongest team in Group A whenever TSM is not in their way. They just obliterated NRG and they beat XSET a week ago 2-0 in convincing fashion. 100 Thieves beat the best in the group, and look to do that in the playoffs. Chemistry is only getting better.

4. (-1) XSET
   Losing to 100 Thieves did seem out of the ordinary, but they still have a chance at the first seed. They have an insane fragger in Cryo and they can make a deep run in playoffs.

5. (-1) Ghost Gaming
   Their wins have only came against the weaker teams of their group, and their matches have been pretty close against them, making them lower in my power rankings. They can go somewhere in playoffs.

6. (+1) Luminosity Free Agents
   Their win against Cloud 9 solidifies them as a good team in their group, but they don't necessarily match up to the top dogs in their group.

7. (+3) The Guard
   Their two losses in the beginning have been put away, and now their only focus is against NRG. They've been looking better recently, with a 2-0 vs TSM and a 1-2 vs XSET.

8. (+3) Faze Clan
   They honestly aren't that great of a team, but they've taken care of their scraps against Cloud 9 and Sentinels. However, they almost lost their 2-0 match against Sentinels with a 13-11 and 15-13 result from the series. They won't look so great against the better teams of NA.

9. (-1) NRG
   NRG just looks worse and worse every week after their impressive first match against TSM. They had a -9 diff. against XSET, -15 against Ghost and -13 against 100 Thieves. They have one last chance to erase their issues for a spot at LCQ and Playoffs against The Guard.

10. (-1) TSM
    TSM's season is over, but they have showed promising outcomes over the course of the group stage. However, promising wasn't so promising when they lost 4 thrifties against Ghost and couldn't close out games with a good lead. TSM looks to get some change and coins against XSET next week.

11. (-5) Cloud 9
    Their new member Curry from T1 made the team look like a dangerous team, but after the one win against Optic, Cloud 9 has fallen into the dust and won't make much of the remaining season. Losing against FaZe was a disappointment, and losing against Luminosity was a tragedy for the stage. They look to get 5 extra circuit points against Sentinels for LCQ.

12. (-) Sentinels
    Hey, they looked fine against FaZe Clan, but clearly it isn't enough. They also look to get 5 extra circuit points for LCQ against Cloud 9.

The ties would be between EG and Faze, and LG and OpTic.
If EG beats Faze, they will get the first seed.
If EG loses, there will be a three way tie between Faze, eg, and (LG/optic), but it gets really confusing
I believe Faze can get the second seed if they 2-0 and LG loses 0-2, which is the only way. They can get the third seed, which is basically every other outcome if they win unless they 2-1 combined with LG 1-2 or they 2-1 and EG gets a tiebreaker with map difference over a three way tie

If faze loses, these are the standings:
This would be:
Optic and EG wins:
1 EG
2 Optic
3 LG
4 Faze

LG and EG wins
1 EG
2 LG
3 Optic
4 Faze

V1 has a chance at LCQ
U just gotta pray for The Guard to win and FaZe to miss playoffs. Kinda simple

For ALL THE MARBLES for a lower bracket spot...
As well as NRG's LCQ chances.........
