welp unlucko fut inted

i still believe this side on pearl is just cooked evn gettin 3 would be considered good, also i bet 30$ but i also added furia nad spirit winning in cs so like 13x

Well was it that obvious fut could had 2-0'd or lose 2-0 there

i bet 2-1 fut before the match and doubled down after 0-1 sooo maybe gonna hit big the odds were like 7.5x

Easy example is C9 and SEN routing
C9:Loses early in upper bracket drops into a lower lane that already contains Leviatan (already played).
Later receives another strong drop. Which results in immediate high-tier opponent, fast rematch, no recovery room.

Meanwhile SEN: Loses later in upper bracket drops into a lane with fewer converging strong teams.
No overloaded junctions. Which results in more recovery time, no immediate rematch.

The format is assymetric from the start so it gives safety nets to some teams.
Some future slots are guaranteed to receive multiple strong teams.
Others are guaranteed to stay clean.
Late upper-bracket losses are safer than early ones.
Rematches are not consistently avoided.
My ultimate point is in a fair double-elimination bracket, all early upper-bracket losers face equivalent danger, and all late losers face equivalent danger.
This format violates that rule, some lanes are harder by design, not by chance.

If wins “flipped sides” Teams would alternate top/bottom lanes after each win. You’d see consistent left-right oscillation while in reality some teams stay on the same side across multiple wins, others never flip at all. C9 is a perfect counterexample they stay in the same danger lane. Also my point is even if the structure was there before matches played the format+ initial seeding still gives a safety net so some teams are protected by the format itself.
It's a format that values logistics and optics over competitive integrity. It is not competetively fair. Which is disgusting to be honest what's the point of franchising if u're protecting bigger brands.

Or its overall a format flaw

The re-match logic doesn't hold in this case and judging by how the matches we're re seeded it doesn't follow any logic its like its optimized for brands i.e undoubtely sentinels have the most favorable seeding while c9 got absolutely fckd. If rematch avoidance were the main rule, C9 should have been protected, not thrown back into Leviatan. 100T had no structural reason to be placed there especially since they just randomly switched bracket sides. The re seeding was done assymetrical. Riot is manipulating the brackets

Like why are some teams losing dropping to opposite sides of the brackets like cloud9 already was in the leviatan bracket lower middle bracket and now they drop down again to the leviatan side of bracket like its completely random not following any rules while 100 thieves dropped to a different bracket and then a different bracket again?

Meanwhile u look at these waylay teams and at least more than half of the rounds is the "waylay go" strat its so sad

Ye but they are known for being one of the best anti strat teams in apac so like i said their teamplay looks insane like well oiled machine rare mistakes everyone fragging trading instead of "waylay go"

It's always just Waylay +Others every game a team without her struggles and if they win against her its usually insane teamplay

To be fair the agent defeats strategy from one side it looks flashy for the avg viewer but the whole gameplay lacks. You don't need good default's as a team anymore crazy good set strats,getting space on the map,baits,util you just waylay in it's a chance you kill you open entry or u just get info and dip and re hit the only counter play is hitting a insane shot on her...

well im stretching its alr 31st of jan so if they started at the beggining of january that would count as a month

Most teams changed players/coaches in december cloud 9 even changed their duelist to demon1 mid kickoff

Well then other teams got 2 months and mibr got 1 month

they still propably scrimd just without him

Ppl were sleeping on mada for way too long even in lg he was amazing

How do y know they didnt have scrims lol

Well Asspas is 9/20 in 26 rounds that's some goat shit right there

2/6 in 6 rounds 9/19 19 rounds #GOAT

since joining heretics 5 maps neon 1.03 rating 67%kast 3 chamber maps 0.76 2raze 0.52 60%kast 2 waylay 0.93 57% kast nd now 1 good jett map where are the 2 bad maps u're talking about are they here with us in this room

or maybe the score is 13-7 bcs he is 18/17 3/3

18/17 on neon with 3fk 3 fd is a good map? Clearly u are turkish

watching them blind lmao so far at kick off he only had a decent map vs ULF(who tf?) nd today on abyss was his best map so far and still fumbled

Lmao sure bub more like he had 3 good maps since he joined heretics u bum check stats instead of making shit up

has to pat his stats since its over anyway

Jail him to jett at least with knives he can kill

heretics need to make sure he is benched and get a sub random t2 duelist who can entry at least somewhat lmao comeback is a OP merchant

So good classic cumback 1 good map out of 20 and suddenly he's so good!

cumback makes neon look balanced or even needing a buff lmao

Propably bcs eu playstyle isn't: duelist go frag they are playing together whoever kills kills what gets them the best chance to win a round and obviously they dont have aspas

Inconsistent sadly

fck'd around and got immo 1 peakd and stopped playing took me like 50 rankeds in total but man ever since ppl started just hitting every shot while running w phantom i gave up this game (tho i played like 100 unrateds)

i think the biggest factor is that they are deluded and insanely recency biased. Can't see into the future a team wins clean 2-0 they call it the best in the league next day they lose and they are shit and need changes in the team i honestly think that's alr past the point of toxic and is just pure delusion

• the playstyle's are very different u never know, these match ups are freaky u can have a style that beats 90% of other playstyle's but that 10% beats ur's even w worse players

I honestly think that the level of gameplay and prep before games is way higher in apac than for example americas, while ppl claim its the best region ofc currently nrg and mibr are above everyone by a mile but apac is more competetive, pressure makes diamonds i think 3/4 of emea and americas teams would shit the bed currently in santiago if anything went wrong with their gameplan which most likely will happen

There are so many players that farm in ascension tier 1 and tier 2 is a night and day difference

You could see the potential in kajaak always and he had clearly role issues in kick off. Cumback on the other hand isn't showing potential he can only OP...

Nah miniboo always said he wants to stay with his brother boo forever if possible. And that he would rather not leave TH.
truth is that miniboo was the problem but cumback is not the solution

Doma isn't a bad player But i agree to drop cumback

0.85 rating as a duelist against navi

Yep another day another cumback disasterclass even against ulf on 1 of his 2 "best" agent's what a horrible pick up

to be fair fns is extremely biased and always says shit like oh this play is bad then the play works out he says it was genius and he would do the same if he was playing etc etc like he changes opinion 24/7 without resting based on what's best.

Apac > Ame > Emea/China tied tho as we alr seen many many times again emea gonna adapt and ame will start to int nrg mibr look unstoppable but the rest of the region looks just as bad as emea

they have like 5x better team rn

well it is early kick off but still they got some time to prepare so propably not that much can change only comeback get put on jett but if he can't make impact on gun rounds he aint getting that op often and it showed alr thru his stats they have problem entering sites before their biggest problem why they made 2 grand finals and didnt win was miniboo lacking but now i don't think they making playoffs w comeback

So he clearly isn't a good player and just farms w op on broken defense maps, benjy stats look similar and he's not playing duelist or awp obviously... miniboo was the problem but for some reason they got a trash duelist in exchange, one thing speaking for miniboo is that he gave heretics the freedom of him entering always even if it didnt benefit him even just to send him to die for info or faking a hit. He just wasn't as good aim wise not versitile his awp was underwhelming and average on many agents

to be fair a lot of lucky shots
