i have only one video essay that I watched attentively, and it's SovietWomble's "What's so strange about The Forest? (2014)"

most likely they flopped the first week and never pick'em again for the rest of the stage

probably hard to implement if, say, certain users only do pick'em on some group or some week and not the other... but a good QoL nonetheless

most couples started off by meeting from an event or going to the same school, and then both need to go their college or home at different cities, states, or even countries... most people

so h2h matches against every other team from stage 1 doesnt matter? that's literally the definition of round robin stage

and if they didnt split the stages and so teams play 10 matches straight, Furia would've lost badly since they cant do mid-transfer

Champs groups ranked based on difficulty (group of death)

RIGGED DEFINITELY AHAHAHHAHAHAHA

higher seed is always on the left side, you can use that

we might potentially have someone with 120+ kills in bo5

3-1 is not dominant

dominant would be 3-0 win with at least +20 round differential total, imo

are you saying each team can objectively beat the team below them transitively, given everyone is on their peak/best day? Then I have no complain

Theres 6 options, need all to consider

yup

after americas grand final?

all teams get bundle money, wdym?

Why are we still yapping about the format?

i've been saying this: EMEA's trophy looked like a 3d printed, inverted rocket booster, which I'm pretty sure you can pour in a fck ton of beer in it and chug it

that malaysia must be a troll, right? being from malaysia, RDA would be the proudest i'll be for us but even then, its not that dense tho

bro EMEA's is literally a 3d printed, inverted rocket booster trophy ToT

it is inevitable, someone gonna get grouped, so why are we trash talking about this?

hehe

He even qualified for apac ascension and that speaks something about him

h2h tiebreaker guarantees the team to do better, that's just math

add neon into his agent pool, i guess... we'll see

walk and crouch hehehe

fade eye be fatphobic

nahhh they playing ascent with that comp

you mean PNG?

can still qualify by points, given LEV and SEN get top 3

if 100T loses, LEV and SEN need to get top 3 for 100T to qualify by points

if 100T wins, they need to get top 3

For some reason I dont like EDG winning against BLG... but nonetheless they won so congrats to them

Congrats to all, especially BLG for that absolute cinema performance

Someone's hurting here... u good lil bro?

That's the incentive for winning? What?

If you're KC fan, you need to support teams that go against Vitality

https://www.vlr.gg/373842/allat-amer-champs-scenario

done

updated

VIT (6) vs NAVI (5) --------> TH (12) vs .......
FNC (14) vs KC (8) --------> FUT (11) vs .....

FNC - already qualified at least by points
TH/FUT - only way to not qualify is by FNC loses elimination (and therefore qualified by points) and TH/FUT loses twice (FUT/TH, KC, VIT/NAVI qualified by top 3)
KC - ways to qualify
1) FNC, TH, FUT qualify by top 3, so KC qualify by points
2) KC qualify by top 3
VIT/NAVI - only way to qualify is by reaching top 3

for you chrlxz and islaaa

nooo i mean any team can beat KRU/C9 so that KRU/C9 wont reach top 3

any team can... just need to beat them

yes, one of KRU/C9 will def eliminated and the other need to place 4th, which then they wont have enough points to qualify

for you

would it makes you happy if I do one for EMEA too?

yeahh same, i dont really want them in champs

sed :((
trying to not be a toxic vlr user, just trying to have fun and giving info

Scenario 1: SEN beats G2 (champs points in bracket)
KRU (7) vs C9 (6) ----------> LEV (12) vs ......
G2 (9) vs 100T (11) ------> SEN (14) vs ......

Scenario 2: G2 beats SEN
KRU (7) vs C9 (6) -----------> LEV (12) vs ......
SEN (12) vs 100T (11) ----> G2 (11) vs ......

LEV - already qualified to champs at least by points (only lost to C9 in stage 1)
SEN - only way to not qualify to champs if lost elimination in Scenario 2, and LEV lost twice (100T, G2, KRU/C9 qualify by top 3, LEV by points)
G2 - ways to not qualify
1) in Scenario 1, lost elimination and KRU/C9 get top 3
2) in Scenario 2, lost twice (LEV, KRU/C9, SEN/100T by top 3, 100T/SEN by points)
100T - ways to not qualify
1) in Scenario 1, 100T loses elimination and LEV/SEN qualify by points
2) in Scenario 2, 100T loses elimination and LEV/SEN qualify by points
3) in Scenario 2, 100T wins elimination and then loses twice (G2, KRU/C9, LEV by top 3, SEN by points)
KRU/C9 - either eliminated or need to qualify by top 3

i think so..... ;-;

100T (6th seed) against SEN/G2 (3rd seed)
KRU (4th seed) against C9 (5th seed)

SEN vs G2 is a match to determine 2nd and 3rd seed
