I do think changing duelists could be an upgrade (depending on who it is obv), although I dont think its necessary. The way I see it, the team is not failing so why make changes? To win a tournament in Valo there are several factors to consider other than having good strats, top mechanics, etc. For example, luck and momentum, just look at how Bangkok went down, G2 was clearly the better team yet T1 got the win. And Im not trying to demerit T1's win, its just that Valo is such an unpredictable game, not even "perfect gameplay" is enough to win all the time.

it just wont let you save it

saadhak was first but only igl'd in spanish back in 2020

either making playoffs or placing top 8 in champs points works, and they got 8 lol

Americas: 1 (G2 stays 2G relegated)
EMEA: 2 (G8 and Apeks relegated)
Pacific: 2 (NS and BOOM will play Ascension so could ascend again)
China: 1 (whichever of DRG and XLG places higher at champs stay, other plays Ascension)

apparently they extended the offer to being a content creator for them. mb that was their intention all along?

I want NRG to make it so they can play against BiliBilli :)

honestly just drop eeiu and put kess on scan ini. keep zander as the controller igl and sign a good duelist, ur options are good, someone said penny might be available and I think thatd be good too.
also drop zikz obv.

that will change when E-XOLOS ascend dw

So youre telling me that the only way MIBR dont qual is if KRU gets 4th and any team other than LEV get 3rd (assuming G2 and SEN are 1 and 2). Or if G2 and SEN get upset?
Im a KRU fan but the road to top 4 is tough, they always make champs tho so it will be fine (:

rarga's last game was like 2 weeks ago lol
but trexx and marteen got one each so yeah 3 aces today
edit: just saw lewn and jemkin also got one each so 5

They are locked, only h2h match score, map diff and round diff count for the 3 first tiebreaker rules. In the scenario that they all tie 2-3, they also tie 1-1 in h2h match score and maps bc all the matches between them were 2-1. So it goes down to round diff which KRU wins. So in this case KRU gets 3rd for winning the tiebreaker and LOUD gets 4th bc they beat LEV.
KRU +6
LEV +3
LOUD -9

If I understand the tiebreaker rules correctly then LEV and KRU would be 2-1 in h2h against all teams tied and 100T and NRG would be 1-2 so they get separated into two subgroups.
Then, LEV beat KRU and 100T beat NRG so:

1. LEV
2. KRU
3. 100T
4. NRG

Based on this:

The following "Subgroup Tie-breaker Rule" will be applied for 3+ Team tie-breakers:
If any Team(s) can be clearly ranked highest based on the given criterion (e.g., head-to-head match score), all teams will be split into two subgroups: the top Team(s) and the remaining Team(s). The remaining Teams are treated as one group, even if they are no longer tied under that criterion.
Example: In a 4-way tie, if two Teams can be clearly ranked highest using the given criterion, the four Teams will be split into two 2-Team subgroups. Each subgroup will then follow the 2-way tiebreaker process, starting from (1) Head-to-head Match Score.

They dont have to get 4th necessarily tho, as long as they place higher than BBL in playoffs (First Tiebreaker criteria: Final standings from Stage 2)

I thought so too but they confirmed on broadcast they're in so ig no. The tiebreakers are confusing and the vctstandings website might have them wrong idk.

I usually just lure them to the outside of my house or garden with food, leave a bowl and water. I have a veterinarian that comes to my house to treat my dogs/cats and sometimes if there are strays nearby he treats them too. Catching them to take them urself might be harder but if you leave them food in a secure place theyll eventually go there.

Personally I would like to see MIBR make top 8. Also XLG won Stage 1 so they get top 8 directly.

Is that too crazy to say? He is already in LA, is american/brazilian, speaks fluent english and portuguese (can help robbie with comms) and he has experience as duelist.

What really matters in this case is wtv the rulebook says and the fact that 4+ way tie must be reduced to 2-3 teams and then be resolved with the corresponding tie-breaker is clear. What is not clear is HOW you reduce to 2-3 teams, does the team with best map diff gets 1st or does the one with worst gets last? do both apply at the same time? So I dont see how is excluding RRQ is controversial, rather the controversy is WHY just RRQ.

verno doesnt comm so it wont be an issue

i agree dfm look promising this year but are we gonna act like the past two years didnt happen?

ppl saying 2g when they have only played two games without their star player is crazy imo when there's teams like koi, ge, furia, dfm who have been bad since the start of franchise

long covid, look it up (afaik is not confirmed but those are the rumours)

KK clears

nah cus i dont think many ppl expected talon to even make top 4 at kickoff (ik i didnt). t1 actually fumbled seoul

Would be cool to have some actual LATAM representation in tier1. Hopefully they can replace tex, com, demon1 or natank, nothing against those players tho.

and to lose the bonus on top of that lol

TO in round 3 LMAO

yeah China groups were made according to kickoff placements, surely these groups aint final right?

i wouldnt be surprised if navi beats fnatic.

I had to actively start avoiding them bc I just wouldnt go to sleep. I really never liked short form content so I never had tiktok but got into reels bc my friends sent me a lot of them (might sound harsh but honestly I just ignore them now, they fr send like 20+ reels a day in the gc). Now I just watch yt shorts when Im having breakfast before work, since Im kinda rushed I dont spend much time on them and use them just to watch smth.
