Come back on Monday to support VS though :)

What are your predictions for Day 5? Mine are:

TS 2-1 CR
FUR 2-0 KRU
C9 2-0 FS

And (if it happens) NV 2-1 ACE

If she really wanted the situation to die down, she would stop tweeting accusations, realizing that she shouldn't fight fire with fire

This woman is worse at stirring up drama than Zombs at this point

Xeppaa uses the gif all the time and I doubt it has anything (intended) to do with racism (yes I am aware of the term 'monkey' being offensive but it doesn't seem like he meant to use it that way)

Either way, he deleted the tweet, so he probably realized how some people might perceive it

Yes, they sent no hate towards Gambit and continued to cheer for their own team, even after watching them get 13-1’d

Very respectful fans

Host one in KR or JP

Literally the only two regions that haven’t had any major drama / region wars

Not wrong

I respect this guy

I think more people should read this

That HS% doesn't matter

C9 deserve to be there imo

There really is no good way to handle it now, something had to be done in the moment

However, I do think Riot should possibly educate their observers on recognizing potential exploits, such as this one, in the future

If I read a list that has ACE over VS, I discredit it
Maybe that's me being biased though...

Also, whether I'm biased or not, VS and SEN both pushed TL and FNC to incredibly close games, they shouldn't be 8 slots below them

This is C9's game to lose Full Sense, play with confidence!

When does TSM play???

tbf Fnatic look like a top 3 team right now, especially with Gambit looking shaky

title

Bro that's like rubbing salt in the wound

Edit: Original twitter post by Riot NA said that we would have not one, but two NA games and then had VK vs NV listed

goodbye king

Necessary thread, good work :)

I'm at 35 points

FNC really making sure I don't get that mousepad, LMAO

Sucks to see it come down to this, I really like Zeek and it's not ACE's nor SEN's fault

Fair punishment, but the situation was handled poorly by Riot, given the fact that Furia got a technical pause called on them in order to stop an exploit midgame previously

Sadge for VK :(

True, that's how Giants got punished though so it would at least be consistent to what Riot have done in the past

How Riot could have properly handled the situation:

1) Technical timeout, notify VK that they were using an exploit and re-do the round (Furia had a technical timeout called on them for a common exploit, idk how this one got by)

OR

2) Allow VK to move onto the Winner's match against Envy and make them forfeit the first map, similar to Giants' Punishment

OR

3) Replay the entire map

I have nothing against Acend, but if they beat Envy tomorrow, it just won't sit right with me

Not too bad, but here are the big things I would change:
1) VKS and TS aren't B tier, more like C tier
2) ACE and C9 at least deserve B tier (and C9 technically did better against FNC then VS)

I’ll always continue to support VS, even if I am pretty disappointed with their performance today

But since they aren’t playing until Monday, I’ll support other teams that I enjoy watching, like VK, in between

Liquid
Keyd Stars
Gambit

“SQ for example went to NA and did decent”
Dude, they are barely a top 25 team

I could understand if you used ORDER as an example but Soniqs, LMAO

sadge

I don’t think his playstyle would work with VS

He goes for a lot of flashy plays and over pushes a lot with judges/shorties/knives, which wouldn’t fit their style

BuZz just had a rough game

People don’t realize that he does what his team needs him to do, which is not overpushing sites

He knows all of VS plays and there is no reason to drop him for one bad performance

Only F/A that is (debatably) better than BuZz anyway is Seoldam

VS will be back, they just looked really shaky today

They have to learn how to deal with aggressive flanks and hopefully don’t ever pick kayo again on Icebox (KJ is mandatory for watching flanks and defense)

BuZz missed a lot of awp shots and stax/mako fed themselves to the enemy in clutches quite often

Hopefully VS can fix their errors and make it out of groups

Pretty sure that was so other people don’t pick it, cause this is just sad

Stax is playing for himself in clutches and BuzZ is missing all his awp shots

Pretty sure their mental is ruined

FRACTURE HYPE

Very well put

Not a real fan

Their just having a bad day

MaKo’s decision making at the end of Icebox was painful to watch

nvm

Team 1

ACE 2-1 VK
VS 2-0 FNC
NV 2-0 X10

He bet his soul on CR

I don't think anyone legitimately thinks X10 are going to beat Envy, that's just some SEA hopium

VK vs ACE
VS vs FNC

Two banger matches tomorrow, hopefully BR and KR can come out with the dubs

:)

Can confirm

Take the Reykjavik placement out of your list and you actually have a stronger argument

Just combine JP+KR into East Asia at this point

KRU vs Liquid could be dangerous for Liquid, given the fact that it’s a rematch

I expect his performance on Raze to be insane, although I think his Skye/Sova performance will be pretty average

Expecting him to be slightly less impactful than say a Sacy/Heat
