I mean yes that's how the upper bracket works
should've prepped better for their weak maps or not lost to G0nG with munchtilt at the start of playoffs.
wouldn't even have been that hard if they leaned into their Vyse/Chamber comps on Sunset and Pearl so Alfa and Chron could take over.
But they still have only themselves to blame.
most of the money is in the advertising and social media campaigns, rather than the prize pool.
The point of it at the end of the day after all isn't actually a prestigious high-end tournament. It's just sportswashing.
People forget that means a shite tournament with no passion too, and not just political upset.
Crazy the amount of mouthbreathers ive had insisting the orgs are going to take the event seriously and it magically not be a mickey because of the prize pool
only for this to be how it goes
id be laughing if it weren't so ridiculous
what the fuck are these results then little bro
holy NS sneak
so blatant I don't even think it's called a sneak anymore
ITS ONLINE TOO HOLY SHIT LMAO JUST WHEN YOU THINK SURELY IT CAN'T BE MORE MICKEY
Best player is heavily debatable but yes, losing Leaf is impactful.
so TH getting cut in franchising changes, cool
It's a mickey but a mickey doesn't magically make the Stage 1 Amer 2nd seed lose to EMEA 4th, Amer is just a shite 1 team region that could only farm CN, and they'll bomb champs now they cant do that either.
Probably but we're still a weaker region overall
Flash initiator pretty weak right now but that means you put your flash init player on Vyse double senti stuff not solo sentinel lol
sorry forgot seeding is technically different for mickey EWC
also not even true KC is in lol
1 team region and fluke China farming Toronto run allegations not beaten AT ALL 😭
S0ntluls is back gentlemen
looking at the stat page munching food going i told you so as usual
So we're pretending the bracket isn't known about in hindsight again, awesome.
bro thinks BLG is good
typical NRG cope i suppose
it's icebox... omen is more likely to be alone doing a mid split than KJ...
LMAO S0N WHAT ARE YOU DOING
THERE IS 0 EVIDENCE A SENTINEL IGL CAN'T WIN.
MOST RECENT NA WINS WERE SENTINEL IGL, EVEN. IN FACT, YOU WERE LITERALLY ONE OF THEM.
what are they doing bro
why tf would you want to shoot viewership in the foot for this
I mean people were calling EMEA stage 1 a mickey understandably for all the tech issues, so yes, absolutely?
it didn't effect the end result so it's probably fine in the overall, but SEN not getting grouped and winning anything in playoffs at the dogshit level they were playing was ultra mickey fluke and you know it. Two teams that should've beaten them screwed over by subs.
its more mickey than l0ck/in bro not even a masters
you replied too late for them to have done so without it telling us.
can't spell so you resort to microaggressions seems reasonable
yeah its diabolical ngl sack him so DRX can get their year+ of dominance as deserved
preferably wait for TL to win champs first but like
FNC sacked their shit coach and suddenly they're second at a masters again so
never happening, orgs are allergic to building superteams with IGLs
what like our favorites or someone else's and you'll name a person for it
if it's the latter, Apeks.
yeah why do you think they made him IGL lil bro, cuz he was already doing a lot of it
you provided fuckin stats. please look at his util usage, gameplans and timings and come back and tell me he isn't above like 90% of full time smokers in T1.
demon1 also ate shit constantly the rest of the time, F0rsaken's gameplay is consistently good outside of his damn VLR rating because VLR rating is not a real gauge of how good a player is. You want a stat that tells the whole story at least go find the rounds above replacement values.
That's great if you pretend we don't know what teams they match up against in groups. If BLG lose to TL because they have nAts, SEN loses to TL and is then grouped by PRX because they can't rematch WOL.
It's plenty possible (and has happened before, even to prior SEN) for one of the "four best teams in swiss" to get grouped because of matchups even if you think they're in that category (debatable, TH, MIBR and BLG being jokes doesn't guarantee anything, cuz this TH is absolutely not the one that was at regionals)
brother do you know what impact is
also, dude is doing this stuff while basically being (and now officially being) his team's IGL.
he is playing Omen better than SIGNED SMOKES PLAYERS. Ones AT THIS EVENT, even.
assuming the bracket is exactly as it would've been and the same picks are made (which tbf is not realistic, XLG is not picking TL like they did SEN), they at least make it as deep as SEN (cuz that far is free) and their PRX matchup likely gets them deeper.
The TL line is isn't even really about TL, it's about dunking on delusional SEN fans who think SEN not getting grouped is anything but a fluke. They didn't cook comps and are still trolling JohnQT on initiator, but "performed" because TWO TEAMS HAD TO FIELD SUBS, one team losing their star player and IGL and the other having to play with a guy who literally CAN'T SPEAK TO HIS DUELIST.
so true bro a loss to the winner of the entire fucking tournament
how the fuck are you trying to spin that
so true bro nAts' personal performance was the issue in the game that mattered (the one he literally didnt get to play)
0 kills in the series clearly washed
remind me what his teams have won without his impact again
bro did not select an agent and still got in DM what
sideshow has made multiple videos about why not, yes
