so FPX and TE for china? plausible

are we just ignoring XSET

it says “no longer accepting responses”

i think it’s been confirmed that madrid will have a swiss stage

NRG v SEN
LOUD v EG

Thoughts?

how does that confirm anything

they've played it in every series this tournament for some reason

johnqt cypher
zellsis killjoy
tenz chamber
zekken sage
sacy deadlock

?

casters said they got confirmation that SEN are through

if they win a map, the worst they can do is 3-2, and the best G2 can do is 3-3 (and MIBR is stuck at 2-3), so theoretically they should advance if the tiebreakers work as expected

Sim

it wasn’t

edit: i believe i may have been lied to by the overlay

if G2 win 2-0 they advance, otherwise SEN advances

derivative, i’ve seen 8 others just like it

why did you post this when it was already 9-6

for current VCT players, these are the highest:

• Enzo (323 Sova)
• cNed (289 Jett)
• eeiu (269 Sova)
• Derrek (264 Sova)
• JessieVash (257 Sova)
• Life (255 Jett)
• Ninebody (255 Jett)
• logaN (241 Killjoy)
• Apoth (240 Astra)

they do have 2.5 weeks before madrid so i wouldn’t be worried

munchkin

it’s not a seeding match, winner gets 3 points that help qualify you for champions

it could also be LOUD v EG and SEN/LEV v NRG in that case

tbf his last high-level game was August 2022, i would also have bet on him not being this good

there are two possible brackets for each possible play-in winner

pretty sure it's 50/50 no matter what

edit: nvm if group C wins play-in then NRG v LOUD can't happen, otherwise it's 50/50

never forget trent 22-3 shroud

no, GEN could win play-in and face DRX in playoffs while T1 faces PRX

i think it’s “i thought that EDG and FPX would get a skin/card because they’ve been playing in VCT for so long”

which game had 42? i remember a 38 last year

edit: nvm found it, Dep at LCQ

idk where you got homophobe from, it says gender not sexual orientation so i think the word you're looking for is sexist

i don’t think i have enough details to judge the pancada situation until someone comes out and explicitly talks about what happened

i was born in brazil and i support sen, does that count?

wasn’t jamppi always a flex

i'm pretty sure people ranked them highly because of last season with qw1, not because of off season tournaments

I was experimenting with ways of measuring match quality and created this ranking of the average assists per round in each match. It’s not perfect but honestly not too bad either.

iirc it’s just single round robin

edit: yeah this is what liquipedia has

a few months? the regular season matches start in like late march / early april

demon1 is more handsome

the record for a VCT match (LCQ/Masters/Champions 2021-2022 and all of 2023-2024) is BuZz getting 29 in the pacific league lower final against T1: link

you can use it but you have to leave it on the floor

I’m not so much a 100T believer as I am a LEV doubter

map one of T1 v Bleed ended 6 hours 18 minutes after the scheduled start time. since then things have run pretty smoothly

can't believe Sacy is going to be the only brazilian player to win his opening match

Ethan for sure

i think gambit also tried it way back in the day

edit: yeah i found this game

i’m not watching but if CaptainSparklez doesn’t come on stage during DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love that’s disrespectful, he should pay respect to the man who built his career

they lost a map to NAVI

i mean chronicle and leo are still using their gambit/guild portraits, i don’t think this is anyone’s priority

so like 4 stars = 4 IQ?

wouldn’t saadhak/john, less/zellsis, tuyz/tenz be better comparisons

edit: meant to reply to mzto

i kind of agree, even disregarding prior accomplishments

kiNgg can aim but i’ve yet to be convinced that he’s actually a great IGL, and them bringing in the coach from KOI doesn’t give me much hope

mazino and tex are good players but definitely not the best in their role

i’d expect them to end up around 3rd-4th in the league

i’m pretty sure they program these movements cause it’s always exactly the same for all skin variations
