algs midseason playoffs finals are abt to start... lock in

this doesnt usually happen, so its not the fault of betting sites
it never happens with lan events, only tier 2. so it happening now is something wrong with ewc

twin fr 🤞

indeed true bro

there is a man in the woods

hes so good at yoru

Prx and kc would have beat th, they got a lucky bracket to be this far

maybe they should be because i cant imagine a better roster

i think i speak for all drx fans when i say

duelist - flicker
estrella - flex
beyn - recon
mako - smoke (igl)
flashback - sentinel

f0ker

im not hating i just wanted him to name 75

i think its at a fine part, just gotta add more space for it

also i dont think riot have the power to change when it takes place. at least not outside of june to august

i suggest cryo copies somethings role every map and u keep the roster. the options arent good right now

name 75

what if both teams fail drug tests and the consolation final is made the grands

so smart bb

best player in NA LOL is polish
same with NA valorant

crazy fr

that map from xenom was actually one of the worst ive ever seen. he blew so many easy round winning kills

mibr qualified to toronto and they got beat by 100t bro

champs >> masters 2 > ewc >= masters 1 >= lock//in

I would if it was kc vs fnc or bbl vs kc or smth, not for heretics

Kaajak against heretics career stats
146 rounds
1.49 rating
1.71 k/d
series mvp all 3 series
Map mvp 5/7 maps

🥶

Cned is back and worse than ever :>

Maybe one day cane can replicate half of uncle mws skill

thankfully he rejected navi, alexiiik is twice the player

americas on day 500 of trying to win smth

americas trophyless drought 😭

emea in comparison is at -1 days

never forget when robbiebk dominated heretics to win a major 🥶

i thought fnatic was a lock for this final but im looking at the map pool now and it is insanely favourable for th (not in the sense their map pool is better, but like the matchup specifically works for them)

pearl is fnc permaban. heretics are shit at pearl and would lose to most teams on it but fnc will ban it anyway
haven and sunset are good maps for fnatic but they also happen to be heretics best maps

the history looks bad for th but since then the map pool has changed to favour them (-fracture +sunset)

we know for sure that TH will ban split, but maybe fnc would switch their pearl ban to something like sunset or haven?

ASCENT: 50/50
HAVEN: TH
LOTUS: FNC
ICEBOX: FNC
PEARL: 50/50
SPLIT: FNC
SUNSET: TH

what? i know, its not like im the one who bumped it

💀

a few people definitely switched up. but yes it is a 'major'

we only really have one major in champs but ewc is like a masters 1

prx and kc would destroy heretics, just unlucky they had to play fnatic

yeah that was so bad. genuinely upset me with how slow they went

boo keeps stealing kills from riens, he is shameless

i always thought this was a huge event, wouldnt change if gen g win

champions 2025 :)

cacao powder

WOWWW

😠

mostly negatively

actually yeah it depends, 8 team event with 4 team playoffs is pretty crazy. ill edit that

equal or greater than bangkok

each format has flaws but ewc has higher level of play

interesting title

they cant because johnqt is import already

if drx won here they make shanghai instead of geng

geng 13-0 :D

d4v4i is actually underrated asf wth

how did a prx fan say something like this after d4v41 was their best player for 3 years in a row (22-24)

fnc 3-1 geng in the final

the two best teams itw <3

take a shot every time wo0t loses his iso ult

very dangerous actually maybe dont try it

in my view the main benefit of the lower bracket isnt so you find the best team more consistently, since the best team likely already won the upper bracket. its more for the middle of the pack teams who could place 2nd-4th with a lower bracket, but might just get unlucky and pull the best team instantly, also weakening the future games in the event (grand final could be 1st vs 4th best rather than 1st vs 2nd)

for example in toronto the grand final could have been prx vs wolves without lower bracket, but the winner doesnt change, only the order of losers.

this is good for creating a more competitive event (with a stronger final), and fairly distributing prize money, but is almost irrelevant in deciding the winner

i see people saying ewc is mickey for not having one, but it shouldnt make the winner less respected
