Probably, though I'm surprised that they banned Acend over Bind considering that they have a better win % on ascent and Acend is god tier at bind.

I know, but who is first ban and who is first pick? Would Acend pick first or would VK?

How is first map pick decided for lower bracket games, is it a coin toss or do they give it to higher seed? Because if Acend and VK rematch, I could see Acend picking Bind first similar to how G2 picked Icebox first when they rematched SEN.

Hopefully, even as someone who is not really a huge fan of the Brazilian teams, I really want to see Vivo Keyd beat Acend without a bug after this.

Nah bro, imagine if VK rematches against Acend and then loses. We've seen what can happen when two teams play each other twice with G2 and Sen

2 - 1s all around for Envy and Gambit with maybe the only exception being a 2 - 0 of Team Liquid over Sentinels. Didn't look too good against Furia.

I'm more worried about what would happen if Acend lose to NV and then beat VK in the rematch. So many people would lose their minds.

That's not the same cam? It's literally under the thing you can see through

The one thing that I don't understand is how do you find that cam without knowing that it is a bug? Do you think Jhow just randomly came across the same camera? Because if you look it up, you're likely to see that it is bugged.

I'm a little skeptical considering they've made competitive rulings in the past saying that it was an exploit. should get overturned if it's true though.

Yeah, I know about the bug. I'm just curious how much of a role it actually ended up playing in their win? Not saying it didn't.

To be fair, if it was the same cam, what would be the outcome? SEN lose breeze by a larger margin? I don't think it would be fair to take away the haven win from them because they (potentially) exploited a bug on Breeze.

I wish someone would do a breakdown of how much this cam actually mattered in the match. Like was it just there and helped for 2 kills, or was it imperative to them winning the map. Would suck to lose a match for a bug that didn't even help that much.

The guy made a stupid mistake. He’s playing his first tournament with his new team that just so happens to be the deciding tournament for 100T this year. I’d be surprised if he didn’t make a few stupid plays. Give the guy some time.

I’m really hoping to see Rise play some of the better EMEA teams like Acend, Gambit, and Liquid. I think some of the teamwork shown by these guys has been really impressive. Don’t know if that’s just because the quality of teams in the NA LCQ isn’t the best or if Rise is just that good.

I mean, they did. All 3 maps were incredibly close against a really strong looking rise.Definitely some things they could’ve done better, but I don’t think it calls for b0i to be dropped.

Definitely overrated, but I think Rise is also being underrated. Feels like there's still a good chance C9B could make a lower bracket run COPIUM
