Okay, here are my thoughts on this series, but I'm tired today so I'll keep it short. I might come back to edit this comment or something.
DRG looked decent against ASE, and although the maps were pretty close, they had the ability to convert those overtime rounds and that really impressed me. TvirusLuke and vo0kashu has continued to look great, which is good for DRG as they definitely need it going up against a team on RA's calibre.
RA has been great this entire tourney, not dropping a single map and not going into overtime a single time.
Although personally I believe that RA is destined for VCT, I think DRG has a chance to perhaps pull a surprise out of the hat, as they have done time and time again (they haven't been favorites in recent series yet they've won a bunch of them).

I think that if RA comes out guns blazing with the sort of concentration and focus from their recent series, they could beat DRG and give them a deficit of 3-0 but then again, I think the chances of DRG antistratting RA on a map is high and this series could turn out a 3-1 win for RA.

Why aren't you verified. Your talks are so damn accurate many times 😤🤌

#56

geospliced

Frags

–

Well, there are some reasons.

I'm an ordinary vlr user like the rest of you! I'm neither an admin on the platform, nor someone directly involved with the VCT. Anyone could take 2-5 minutes to type up what they think will happen in a series and give a predicted score and it'll be just like mine.
I'm not always accurate. My accuracy rate for this Ascension tournament is 73%, and my overall accuracy rate is 71%. That really isn't anything impressive imo. If one could get verified by being accurate, then shouldn't everyone who gets a pick'em 100% correct be verified?

Regardless, I'm flattered that you think I should be verified, and I really appreciate your kind words!

Damn both teams have to drop a player if either win. (that is assuming Taiwanese players are allowed to compete in China as non-imports)

Drg would have to drop one of voOkashu or Zeno in theory. Taiwanese players are able to chose between being a CN league player or an Apac player when they 1st join the league.

The thing is, Rare Atom will have map bans advantage as the upper bracket finalists.
They will for sure ban their permaban + haven (drg best map), while drg won’t have bans at all.
I expect RA will pick Split and Sunset as map 1 and 3, while DRG won’t have much of a choice, maybe lotus or ascent?
Given the fact that half of vookashu’s team are sick and he said himself that they just don’t have reliable strats against RA, I expect nothing but 3-0

I didn't watch it and was heavily surprised a few seconds ago when I saw the 3:1 for DRG.

stew with almost 90 kills and a 1.78 K/D, but they still lost 1:3... that's crazy.

*Edit: Rewatched the last match now and DRG played so much better than yesterday. They really deserve this in my eyes. I mean the 0-13 is still crazy and stew is def. one of THE big upcoming Asian talents (probably someone for DRX in the future), but I think DRG really worked on their issues and tried to play more disciplined. Looking forward to see DRG improving more and more. vo0kashu is a machine!

Yoman knew he was getting dropped since there can only be one import. So he throw the game so RA can still keep him.

Their roster will prolly be bought by one of the franchising teams either way

#157

Frags

–

Yeah, but the chances of Yoman getting picked by the Chinese team are low since he is still considered an import, and his stats weren't that crazy for orgs to waste their only import slots.

#158

Ballsamolee

Frags

–

yoman said that he would move to the coaching staff if the team makes it to ascension, so if the whole team gets picked up he might be a coach. also yoman is an igl, so if the team disbands it is pretty likely a team will pick him up as igl.
