because TTR, 9th place, got 5 points and would max out at 30 points even if they won split 2, m80 is guaranteed ascension playoffs even if they don't show up as they currently have 30 points and get 1 point just for showing up to split 2

10th,11th,12th, obv have less points so m80 have guaranteed 8th+ and will play in the playoff tourney (top 2 teams go to ascension tourney alongside top 2 LATAM, and BR, winner goes to franchising) // even if they literally went on vacation for split 2 (playing for seeding)

obv they 99.9% wouldve anyway but neat to see they are the first guaranteed lock regardless of like idk m80 facility literally getting emp grenades for 2 months

myb title should be challenger playoffs not ascension xD

signed :white_check_mark:

kinda agree but thats a p big boil down of a situation

don't think there's anything wrong with ppl wanting to know about the situation, but it's weird there's just more and more threads, like no-one has the capability to go into a previous thread and gather context there

NOO WAYYY XDD

kinda agree but lions gave a tough series to TSM and DSG rolled lions but DSG got rolled by guard?

don't wanna be all like, well hypothetically, but out of all the teams, guard has put out the best performances so realistically the hype is warranted imo

either way also hyped for guard to fight a franchised team :3

well c if ur rifht5

Lions looked good against TSM

same with OR against m80

I totally get the SR vs TTR match but even though they have won and the scorelines do look one-sided I can defo see some fight in these qual teams, esp OR today and lions yesterday

(((I think qualed v qualed will be hella interesting to watch and inv v invited for split 1))) | and that split 2 and the MSI we might see some better more even performances, hopefully, think there's defo still a chance, there be life in these teams

where Skrossi flair?

woah huge W post eutalyx, great read

big match :3

BLEED 2-1

TOP ROW CLEARS

sez u 💀

seems like

BABYBAY
Poised
Dicey
Supamen

• Rossy

the win would be HUGE, like in open quals when it seemed like DSG's team only leveled up after each win, getting that needed confidence for an unproven, newer roster esp with younger talent

hmm, maybe if ur right, like if they can beat guard, they will just feel like they can beat everyone

I feel like I can't match the HYPE of you W guard fans, you all clear me !

yeah, im vv tempted to HOPIUM DSG, but like if my pickems are guard and DSG win, ill just be pleasantly surprised and I win either way

either my pickems are saved or my hopium is saved

kind of the same way I gamba the team I don't want to win when tarik watch parties unless its a match I REALLY want them to win

2-0 #M80FIGHTING

hi,

so ik a lot of the disbanded teams flairs got removed but in that November purge post, it seemed like while the option to add it was getting removed, your flair would still stay on your profile as long as you had it on already before

it was like that for a while, but around a few weeks ago, those flairs got removed

would be nice to have them back, ik optic, uwu and etc arent around, but if we can, would be nice to still have that legacy option of repping them if u did when they were around

if not, that's okay c:

((if they don't add them back, lmk what flair I should use ! | kinda wanna use M80 or DSG flair))

is it just me or did the top row seem like the right call for all of/most of the matches for pick ems?

I ended up picking the entire top row lol, did anyone else pick like more than halfof the bottom row for each match? and why :3

:3
