they playing another match an hour and a half before this one, so depending on how long it goes they might not make it to this one

No it's not. If it was, then what I said above would be true, but as of now, LVR, VLT, AE, and GE can't get last, even if they go 0-2 which just doesn't make sense. Maybe VLR has it wrong?

akrew out in groups again :(

This bracket doesn't make sense. Why don't loser of LVR/VLT and AE/GE go to losers round 1 like every other 10 team double elim bracket

Pioneers run this tourney has just been them beating their players’ old teams

jcStani vs IMT
Critical vs BBG
WeDid vs NRG

oh dear

Fnatic do not look good right now, and even lost to Giants at Red Bull tourney
SMB have looked drastically worse since challengers 3 playoffs, and their players are leaving
Guild and G2 are going through roster rebuilds
Giants have pretty consistently beat every other decent team in EMEA you could argue for, so they are a definite 4th behind Acend, Gambit, and Liquid

I think ability skins are a cool idea, but I don't think you'd be able to do it for every agent, which might be a problem

starts tomorrow

Ive played against him in ranked, but obv thats not the same thing. I think if there was no post plant, no judge, and no OP metas to abuse and the game properly balanced, he wouldnt be any sort of special IGL at all, open to being wrong on this one

Time to replace another red bull team?

People rate Keyd Stars over Vikings because while on paper, Vikings at iceland did better, Keyd’s performance at Berlin looked so much more promising. They had a really good set against Envy and destroyed Zeta, then lost a really close set against Kru due to Heat underperforming (which people account to a wrist injury). Vikings at iceland were massively hyped up and did not meet those expectations. They didn’t put up a fight at all against Sentinels or Liquid, and only very narrowly beat X10. Keyd Stars have just shown a lot more potential, especially with the addition of mwzera. People also just tend to place teams we havent seen in a while (X10, Secret, Vikings) at the bottom.

Nope

bunch of turkish players potentially getting banned

Its because chamber is a sentinel and op agent, which fits nivera perfectly

Xset most likely just wins the 2v1 and nothing changes

here's the clip, not exactly sure what happened

The second day is 30(1.05)^1 which is just 30 * 1.05, so it is 5% of the first day

30(1.05)^i is the number of mangoes harvested in a day where i is the day number (i = 0 is the first day, when its 30kg mangoes)
To get the number of mangoes harvested across 5 days, you just add up the amount harvested on each day.

30(1.05)^0 + 30(1.05)^1 + 30(1.05)^2 + 30(1.05)^3 + 30(1.05)^4 = 165.77

This is the same as above, but using sigma notation
