Congratulations to ZETA and the fans, they have shown a great performance here, we'll be cheering them on in Champions. And TS fans, please don't say the team is washed and all the other members need to get dropped. They had a great season and have gotten this far, they just need work with their agent pool and adaptability.

Yeah, that Reyna comp ain't it. Jremy just wasn't confident enough to get those kills, and the team didn't really set up to help him get those kills. Also, Invy as a Viper ain't it.

TS 3 - 1 ZETA
This will be an absolute true test of both teams and whether they can step up and reclaim their spots as among the best in Pacific. Anyone can win this game, but I'm just going to have to go with my homeboys. Secret Fighting!

YOOOOOOO LET'S FUCKING GOOOO

WOAHHHHH

oh if there's an actual report then it's all but confirmed, nvm

TS 3 - 1 GEN
Ah shit, here we go again.

really? his announcement tweet had people making secret puns, and invy replied

well shit guess that's what 16 rounds of overtime does to a mf

Well, you were gonna get it right eventually :(

My God, Zeta got them hook, line and sinker. Well, it didn't go into a Map 3, that's for sure.

tf u mean? he was their team's best player as a jett main, but laz was just better. doesn't mean dubstep was bad. if you're gonna shit talk do it properly you little bitch

RRQ 2 - 1 GEN
Yep, Gen.G is shaken right now. If RRQ can overwhelm them and just have good aim, they can win this. Their mental fortitude is pretty good too, so if it ever goes to overtime, RRQ can definitely pull through.

TS 2 - 0 ZETA
TS, do NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT let Zeta get to a Map 3. You have beaten them before, just do it again.

love u Lyze <3

whatever nationality they are, it doesn't matter.
they took the L

TS are one of those teams that are pretty prep-heavy, I'd say. Even before Warbirds entering, their team plays were very good but individually couldn't keep up with the best of the best.

RRQ, even before the franchise league, were a momentum-based team that could catch you off guard if you're not prepared. Even with their all-Filipino roster they had a good run, but combine the best of that team with the Indonesian playstyle and you've got a team that is slowly reaching a PRX-like agressiveness.

THAT'S MY TEAM SECRET, BACK FOR REVENGE

yep definitely in the wrong match

nope, try again

Oh fuck, they let it get to Map 3 💀

there ya go
edit: yeah nope, try again bud

bro you're in the wrong match, go to lbr

Damn, that was a close game. :(

PATT STOP PULLING YOUR KNIFE OUT YOU'RE NOT JETT

I made this comment before all the fl1pz drama, which is kind of funny

At this point (Map 2, RRQ 10 - 9 GE), I feel bad for SkRossi, the man just isn't able to use Jett effectively. His op shots on Split were unfortunate whiffs, and while he has had better perfomance on Ascent, he has been Jett diffed by EJAY on both maps. Man needs to step up as the duelist if he wants his team to win this match.

Only compliment I'll give DFM is that they at least didn't look terrible. If this version of DFM showed up at the start of the season, they could have gotten some wins on their name. But that's pretty much it, if they're going to do some roster changes, probably keep Anthem and just rebuild around him.

Nah, I think they'll be able to win if they faced Gen.G again. Their 2-1 loss was easily avoidable if they hadn't choked that 11-7 lead. RRQ though, that's their kryptonite.

Man, after this year, DFM need to consider acquiring the SCARZ roster. I would love to see them compete in the Tier 1 league, and even with their recent performance, the experience in this league can help players rapidly improve and give them the much-needed experience.

Did this really have to be the prediction I got right? Ugh.
Well, congrats Bleed!

Really? Huh. Well, I still got Bleed winning this, but who knows? Scarz upset?

Sure, they could go for a more diverse roster, but if Scarz gets into the league they will have to choose between Jemkin and Allen, since the league only allows one import from the Americas/EMEA. The most likely route Scarz would take is filling those spots with Tier 2 players from Japan or Korea, and at that point you'll just have another JP/KR team.

SZ 2 - 3 BLD
You gotta give it to Bleed, as much as people like to diss them for being the Walmart Paper Rex, they have proven themselves to be a very strong team even before the Pacific league. Also, I don't really want to see three Japanese teams in the league, I think two should be enough. Anyways, congrats Bleed, welcome to the Pacific league.

Let's go BOOM!

Nah, it's pretty well known that FIlipino teams like to choke. Didn't really jinx it, just hoped for the best outcome (which was not the case).

God, I hope so 🥺

Update: They choked Map 1 (it's okay, it was SCARZ's pick 🤓)
Update 2: They won their map pick! One more, boys!
Update 3: Well, fuck

Will add that as great of a team Talon is and how unfortunate their run in the league was, this format is against Talon in every way. Imagine having to play two matches that will decide your fate, while the other team can just watch your VODs and prepare, given enough time. Thank god TS had a good run in the league, they would've been fucked if they placed any lower.

edit: Damn, I really wanted to see Talon here, I really did. I would've been fine with anyone but Gen.G get that spot, and I'd say Talon had a good run in this event. See ya 2024 Superflies o7

RRQ 2 - 0 ZETA
As long as they don't let it get to Map 3, RRQ should have this in the bag.

Yeah, there's way too many Korean teams in Champions already. Two is more than enough. Talon revenge arc 🦅

RRQ 2 - 1 GE
Sorry GE, as insane as Monyet, Bazzi, and T3xture are, if the rest of the team doesn't pull their weight, you guys will be absolutely demolished by RRQ. All hail Lord EJAY 🧎

TS 2 - 1 GEN
Oh God. Not again. I can only hope that TS is ready for this team and is able to get a read after their game against Talon, because the only thing standing between them and that Champions spot is Gen.G.
orig: NAOS TS, please don't choke. Just don't. You just need to win two three games, and you're in the Pacific league Champions 2023. You can choke all you want there, just not here Don't choke there as well, please. If you guys ever make it. Ok thanks bye mwah

Two and a half, since there are some Pinoy players on RRQ.

NAOS 2 - 0 SZ
NAOS, please don't choke. Just don't. You just need to win two games, and you're in the Pacific league. You can choke all you want there, just not here.

Wow, I was right! Cool

Oh hey, they won! Cool

Man, didn't think that Orangutan could push Bleed this far. Shame that they threw those last few rounds on Fracture, but if they can push Bleed, then it just raises the question: is Bleed still poised to be top seed in this Group?

Oh hey, they won! Cool.
Time to go sleep now
