don’t forgot that they also haven’t won a match against Pacific

this is just early 2021 Vision Strikers with Sayaplayer instead of glow

to be fair, she was born in London. not everyone learns to speak their ancestors’ language fluently (assuming she even has living relatives who grew up in China)

yeah that’s kinda the point. i’m assuming it’s better for them to wake up a bit early than to stay up late. and if they have to work in the morning then they probably couldn’t afford to stay up late with the london time anyway

not really, at least if it’s in New York people in Pacific can watch in the morning (starting at like 6am in Korea/Japan). if it’s in london then you either have to start super early, which messes things up for Americas viewers, or force Pacific viewers to stay up past midnight

New York would be a pretty good time zone for everyone if they start the matches at 5pm EST

isn’t it kinda impossible to know? cause if LEV wins tonight and gets paired with TH next then your prediction can’t happen

idk brush your teeth probably

this is unironically the most pedantic thing i have ever read

Sage has already been picked though so they’ve fulfilled their Chinese agent quota

the title really made me think someone cared about our personal struggles

2021 SEN would still count

i didn’t really get the hype tbh. the movies aren’t bad but i just couldn’t get myself to care about the conflict or most of the characters

how is your graduation so early, mine is in four weeks

also congrats

the max score on the PSAT is 1520, plus it doesn’t always translate super well. i did better on the SAT than i did on the PSAT

bro tried to sneak in cristiano

i don’t think you’re supposed to touch your monitor

TH is plausible, PRX is probably too much rn

do we have chinese viewership data for CS2?

probably around the same time the Tokyo games started

i always assumed a core was three players, like victor/crashies/fns moving to NRG or saadhak/less/aspas staying on LOUD after 2022

yeah, loud need to win 6 more in a row for it to be a tie, otherwise G2 advance

i absolutely will not

yes that is always how it was supposed to be, so that the final result will just be as if everyone played in one big round robin group

i don’t have a problem with this, i just wish they flipped the stage 1 and stage 2 matches

China has hosted LoL events that were streamed on twitch so

they locked first seed 5 days ago

my guess is it would take place on the first day of playoffs before the regular matches, and they’d set the schedule so the omega match takes place in between the tiebreaker and the alpha match

they get an extra point for being first seed from their group

they can’t

dude are you ok? you’ve made like 10 anti-buzz posts in the past hour

loud need to win the series, not just one map, so they would never throw

why does everyone keep bringing up the 13-5 or 13-4 scoreline

?

If SEN did win 13-0 next map, G2 would only have to lose like 10-13 10-13 for SEN to pass them

C9 is definitely not guaranteed. if they lose while G2 and NRG both win, C9 are out. map/round differential doesn’t matter in this case

SEN 2-0 FUR
NRG 0-2 100T
G2 0-2 LOUD

and beating G2 on tiebreakers

probably because it’s a friday and people in the americas time zones are less likely to be at school/work during the later slot

to be fair, NRG could lose 11-13 11-13 and SEN would still almost certainly finish ahead of them, it’s just G2 that needs the bad round differential

loud could end up ahead of 100T but it wouldn’t matter because 100T would still be ahead of EG/FUR/MIBR

he has died first 14 times in 7 maps as killjoy this stage, that’s not bad

eh at least the knockout game teams know who they’d play on day two, and the 5 day break is just because they want the playoffs during the weekends so more people can watch

KRU would be, LEV would not, since LEV could end up tied 3-2 with 100T and lose on map differential

it would have made more sense to have the intra-group matches in stage 1, and the cross-group matches in stage 2 when playoff qualification is based on your total record

no, the only remaining uncertainty is if talon or rrq will take the final spot. GEN/TS/T1/DRX/PRX are confirmed

win this map, hope TS 2-0 TLN and RRQ lose a map to GEN, and then win the round differential

bleed wouldn't be able to qualify no matter what if T1 win this, because their best case round diff would be -11 and T1 would have at least -4 after a win now

technically SEN could still qualify if either NRG or C9 lose their next two matches

"just responded"?

play unrated

they are not already in playoffs, TH and M8 could pass them if they lose to FNC

1. SEN beat LOUD and FUR
2. EG and MIBR lose one match each
3. Top four from alpha advance (SEN maybe have to rely on tiebreaks)
