Presumably is to do with scheduling of the venues.
EMEA for instance started later than the americas/pacific due to the LEC playoffs taking place at that time.
-They both take place in the same venue, the Berlin Riot Games Arena

M8 are very proactive and confident, being on Lan just amplifies these traits.
They played very aggressive on stage and apeks struggled to adjust to it.
Natank played like a tank in the final, bulldozing his through the chokes in most rounds.

Playins has 3 teams, the three teams who placed second in their group.
Only 1 team will advance from the playins to the playoffs.

3 games:
A VS B
B VS C
C VS A

Americas viewers when there is no subway surfers during the break 😭

A 5 man Indian roster would be a disaster, It would make dfm look like Real Madrid.
Atleast it would farm the fanbase

Obviously this current iteration of GE is not performing at a good enough level to warrant much attention.
but committing to a full indian roster is not the play.

No because Navi beat BBL's ascent last year.
also no because its a different BBL roster.

Oderus.
It has been announced.

Lost their igl tbf.

"Standin" for Wo0t because he was ineligible as he is not 18.
Allowed riens to play for turkey due to visa issues.

Haven't allowed trexx to play from home despite his visa issues.

Wo0t situation isn't really a "standin" anyways.

Whats the return looking like?

Yeah I would.
3x from KC winning their map pick is a very good return.

They are literally holding the extremities this round

YOOO

By definition they were top 8 at champs.
They literally finished 7/8th.

Top 8 at champions.
Added the best turkish duelist
Added a very promising youngster

He could not go aura for aura with lancey I'm afraid.

What language do you think Bleed were communicating in last year?

Seems like he has very low confidence.
On a new roster in a new region.
and has been unable to adapt to the new metas and role requirements that have been created post chamber meta.

The fault doesn't just lie with yay it lies with the whole team.
However you can't just absolve yay from being at fault.

I think Sayaplayer is an insane player, but stuff like this makes me not want to support him and T1

ik they don't care, but curious to hear what you guys prefer:

• humble players
or
• trash talk/ego type players

?
What did he even do?
All i see him do is post interesting stats/vis.

VAMOS

A close competitive game and a great watch.
GGs.

None of these accounts actually exist.
although..

vlr.ggAdmin: This user has interacted with capital_d_colon in this thread, claiming to have access to capital_d_colon’s IP address and other personal information

WHAT!?

Wait try it on me

Thanks :), interestingly all these posts are relatively recent.

Can you do me? :))

Similar to lock//in.
Large off seasons allow for more innovation and experimentation.
Although things will start to streamline as "gimmick" comps get broken (because footage is available) and meta defining comps start to prevail.

If we assume that Sentinels will be able to beat the teams around them, then yes.

They don't hate SEN they just love viewership.
It just the case that SEN can't beat the big teams lol.

5 before this match. (in americas only)

Although the IBP pc giveaway requires that you must also win the round you ace.
I believe one ace was in a round loss.

Happy birthday obelisk!

Despite VCT pacific starting yesterday the loser of tomorrows match will not be playing another vct game for 47 days.

The score is 9-11 on the first map versus LEVIATAN and people are already saying to scrap the whole roster.

Yes but what I'm saying is the pistols are also including in the Eco stat.

Are you sure?

Eco: 0-5k
$ Semi-eco: 5-10k
$$ Semi-buy: 10-20k
$$$ Full buy: 20k+

Looking at split:

I mean when else did sentinels win an "eco" except from the first pistol round.

Doesn't the eco stat on vlr count pistols?
So Loud won 1/1 of their true ecos, which is still impressive.
Where as Sen won 0/4.

It will be interesting to see if they continue playing with this comp going forward.

Saadhak did a similar thing at lock//in, pulled out viper ascent and it completely broke drx.
However, they did swap back to the "standard" comp in americas.
It's incredibly hard to play against something so different without any preparation, especially on a map like ascent where everyone plays so standard.

Created the ascent meta and then broke it.

wow.

ace lol

Pheonix ascent is actually so under rated.
Saw were steamrolling teams with it at ascension.

Interesting to see how it synergises with the breach though.

Didn't they win the first pistol?

The difference between aspas and qck will be in full display on the defense, it's normally where you see aspas excel.

16 teams for a masters event would ruin the allure of champs.

Curry was the glue 🤔💭

For legal reasons this was a joke

yeah they are looking clean.
It will be interesting to see how they stack up versus the top americas teams

dude its breeze.

Chet pause smh.

Different guy.

The average apeks game is literally 13-2 on every map its crazy.

They actually do invest quite a bit into collegiate.
I think for the 2023 cval circuit it had roughly a $200k prizepool (including all events).
They even hosted the Collegiate grand finals at the Riot Games Arena
