Why? Did something happen?

Might still be on 100T. Switching to perma flex and Cryo fills 2nd duelist for the comps that need it with a new good duelist that has a better agent pool. I can see it happening.

ahahahaha.. that would be funniest swap in VCT history ever

i doubt it unless there's actual evidence supporting it

definitely possible, he can make alot more from streaming and going out in his peak might be better than retiring when down bad

zekken is way too good to act as a bait and die without getting kills + cryo is probably on senti now so if they reunite, there will be someone else who will be following zekken into site

I don't think I'd be very happy to see if 100T signs him. Nothing against him but it just doesn't feel like he should be on any T1 team. Could just be because he hasn't been relevant in T1 for so long

The Expanse is the greatest Sci-Fi show i've ever watched. Its not horror but alot of suspense. There's aliens but not in the way they're generally portrayed. Now that i've said this, this might not be what you asked for.

what the team needs is to play like they did Week 1-2 and maybe, just maybe they scrape a 3rd place

nah, the pig never comes back

Uhhhh....

Ayo, let's have some faith in the rebuild. I don't think they will keep "the core" this time.

Off-season trophy doesn't count? Not that I currently think they'll win one but you never know (after they make changes ofc)

they'll probably end up with more than 27 points so might as well

100T about to put me in more despair if they lose this then

dayum... might as well throw in 2G, LOUD and FURIA

So bad that I've officially lost hope and don't even want to see them at Champs :(

H2H for Americas for whatever reason but Stage 2 placement for the rest of the world.

I'm with you man. If G2 beats C9, 100T face G2 in round 1 which they will probably lose and after that, they probably end up having the best chance to qualify from lower bracket by facing EG, then LEV/C9 (either one probably loses to SEN). That puts 100T in top 4 and hopefully G2 and SEN are in upper finals. Not sure if that guarantees Champs for 100T but one can hope.

1st seeds play 4th seeds at champs

it's more like saying there's 3 scenarios out of the possible 32 that actually impact GenG qualification

Yep

Correct me where I'm wrong then but this was my thought process: As long as KRU loses, the best map score they get is 6-8. The worst map score for LEV is 6-7. If LOUD loses, they're out, LEV and KRU is through. But even if they win, their map score become 6-7 or 6-8. Now they're all 2-3 game differential; 3-way tie; no clear winner on H2H.

• If it's 6-7 map diff for LOUD, LEV and LOUD have better map diff than KRU(which is 6-8), so they're through.
• If it's 6-8 map diff for LOUD, LEV has better map diff than both (means they qualify) and now it's a 2-way tiebreaker with H2H between LOUD and KRU.
  So, LEV qualifies if KRU just loses on 1st day of the week meaning LEV's game is just for better placement.

Genuine question: Do you really believe that everything you've done and will do has been decided by whoever is in-charge? What comfort do you derive from such a belief coz i dont understand why anyone would want to think there is no free will in their actions

wait, dont they just need KRU to lose to secure playoffs?

MIBR played well today but it was honestly just the Aspas-Cortezia Show. Not a reliable way to say a whole team is looking good though.

Ignore my comment. Just checked stats and supamen hasn't even been close to the highest rated but for some reason I remember him being really good.

I like EG's roster but it doesn't feel like they have an X-factor that makes them stand out from the rest. Supamen might be the only consistently good player on the team.

Assuming G2 and SEN secure 1st and 2nd in playoffs?

He'll have to be more if they want Top 2. That's the only way 100T makes Champs, right?

Ty

Is qualification based on Champs points first and then the 2 best playoffs teams or the other way around?

No overloading the wagon until we're guaranteed Champs.

Only reason he MIGHT join 100T is if SEN "drops" him which is highly unlikely since he's arguably their best player and even one of the best in VCT Americas.

imagine its so bad that everyone on 100T goes -10 or something
might push me to the edge instantly and i'm very far from the edge

a risk worth taking cuz even if they somehow made it out of group stage with boostio, there was little to no chance they make it to champs. They still might not make it but atleast there's a chance if Kess fits in quickly, 100t can qualify.

not from the video exactly but i do remember from some comms videos that eeiu was mid-rounding more often than boostio so it probably won't be that big of a problem

also 13-0 which ended with dropping 2 new players after 2 games

As I replied to someone else, I'm not defending Asuna. He plays whatever role the team needs but he is an average player who pops off on a map once in a while. If they can find a good replacement, they should. But Boostio is a much bigger problem atp.

I'm not even defending Asuna. If they can get a better replacement for him, they should. But replacing Boostio is much needed.

I swear people just hate on Asuna because he hasn't won a trophy with 100T. If you just look at this roster like it is now, it's pretty clear Boostio is the standout problem. It's literally the NRG FNS problem and Boostio isn't even as good as FNS as an IGL and he can't shoot back. If they get a decent enough IGL who can shoot at par with the other pros, 100T might actually cause some damage.

And people will continue to blame Asuna for the team's shortcomings.

no hope on 100T? :(

If you're gonna point out that TL lost to KC, then MiBR also lost to NRG and 100T. I highly doubt MiBR wins Toronto.
Even G2 almost lost to 100T and "EG".

I only saw on the Liquipedia page that the Phase 2 will be streamed and nothing about Phase 1. But from the EWC site, it sends you to a FaceIT page. Maybe the games will be streamed there? I only know about FaceIT from watching ALGS so idk whats gonna happen.

Will Phase 1 qualifiers not be streamed? Or there just isn't any information yet?

They'll hopefully end up doing better now. We might see more of Boostio on sentinels (which is more comfortable for him) now that Tejo is gone. Zander started showing up near the end of the split. Cryo is Cryo. Asuna will always do what needs to be done. Really just depends if eeiu is back in form.

If they're good enough to beat G2, they're more than good enough to beat EG.

Clear as day bug with the Vyse ult at 11-8 and Riot ain't gonna take responsibility for a game changing moment. 100% scammed out of a 100T win.
