0/10 raze ults himself huh

Rarga drops 30 bomb first map

Xlg want the china revenge

My heart, dying with the choke potentially

Was never scared at all always believed. Definitely wasn't shaking that liquid would win

I feel they probably started the pickems, lost the first two games, then got disparaged

They're gonna run through the upper bracket as well, I've played these games before 😂

Team liquid lose their first game of the tournament to a Chinese team ✅
They beat the Americas team in bad form and make them look like frauds(they probably look ok stage 2)✅
They lose to a team who looks good at the moment ❓
Prx are beating liquid and mibr will be fine stage 2 and go to champs

4/4 yay

Coming back to this the best solution is to partner G2 and kick c9 and Eg

Didn't EG come under new management though? It might still make sense though, the only people who would care are all 3 EG fans

One of the ideas that has been talked about for making tier 2 more attractive is the 4 ascension spots. But which fraud orgs should be kicked from franchise?
Americas : Furia, 🤡9

EMEA: KOI, I would say giants but then that's two Spanish orgs. Kind of hard given that, it's not as if these teams are properly representing Spain anyways given their roster construction

APAC: Global esports, DFM ( get meiy on zeta create the Japanese super team)

China: All gamers, Tyloo esports( could pick many others a lot of fraud teams at the moment cause the league is younger)

The tech pause in this game takes so long that they declare the tech pause to be the winner, tech pause will make it to masters Toronto. It will be an endurance test for the other teams as they wait for them to show up to Toronto on game day

Your Pickems contains a game between Sen and 100t where Sen win which makes it automatically more likely than all Pickems that don't

Whaaaaaaaa

The dfm reunion is about to lend them(old) dfm results, prx win

Let's go gambling kktarrrrr awwww dang it kktarre aww dang it kktarrrrr awww dang it

Yeah but it's wild that they even had draws like wtf

https://www.vlr.gg/188527/angry-titans-vs-aex-1-challengers-league-dach-evolution-split-2-r2/?game=122926&tab=overview
Not the first ever what but just to show Germany challengers used to do this for some reason

There are 10 games each week, let's give the very generous thought that we have a 90% prediction correct rate, you would still only have around a 1/3 chance of getting everything right. And to do it every week is 0.2x10 -5. Getting perfect Pickems for the weekly stuff is supposed to be super hard

Why would they remove EG, c9 is right there

My eyes

It would be really funny to see Sen lose though, not cause I don't like Sen but seeing the people start spamming SEN FIX into vlr and the wave of people asking to bring back tenz would be hilarious

Sen drx was the harder game to pred, drx usually look better in groups they'll fall off if they make top 4, the drx fans have played these games before

I have the same but I'm predicting liquid cause if my Pickems are to be 100% right I need Sen to lose here cause I think Sen can aura diff if they get to 1-1.

Vit wins against T1... But then all of G2 simultaneously get ill and can't play they need to get a replacement. Far off in the distance the muffled sounds of GE fighting can be heard, it only gets louder as the party bus gets closer and closer. Out of the bus comes Krystal he says "we'll play for G2", confused in the commotion and sick dance moves of the rest of the GE players flooding out the bus riot allows it. They go on to 26-0 trace, win masters Bangkok and everyone cheers as G2 wins masters Bangkok on technicality with GE playing all the games, GE fighting

My imagined thought process for this.

1. These players have insane aim
2. Imagine them playing against someone with bad aim
3. Imagines fns💀
4. Makes this post

Actually true, people see the the 2 2nd seeds start losing and are like OMG OMG

Truely a c9 type move, +marved -marved +marved

No way you're seeing Sen lose to the GroupRX beast then think that G2 are getting rolled. Sen is always over hyped even when they're the best

So true, this man really said, I think it's going to be a game of valorant. The type of man to say "guys I think they might be going a or b"

I think G2 would beg to differ on that one

Marvel rivals won't kill valorant. It will however kick overwatch further while it's down

Whomegalul

Are they having an academy team, that's 10 players, have 5 of them play in tier 2

I love chess, played e4 since 2016, gonna start playing d4, if I manage to fail this it is a travesty

Very I character for c9 to +yay -yay +yay

I mean he wasn't washed when he last played he was just "igling"

Tenz needs the itza me, a Mario yahooooooooo

The advantage NRG got from winning more in groups was not having to play eg first. Potential chance to lose. Could argue though that sen are warm

He has no reason to show, y0y is the call that summons him

Why can't I change my vote, I put c9 in s tier accidentally as I assumed left meant bad.

Scream is a great player... as long as he isn't igling them into the ground 💀

You've gotta love the 99.99%, everyone's favourite fake statistic, along with 99.9% and 99%

If furia and mibr don't blow things up completely after how terrible of a season they had, that would be insane, tier 2 needs to be scalped by them

If the the earth was flat we would all be straight. Gay people exist therefore the earth is round. This is why some people used to think the earth was flat, because you would get persecuted for being gay. Obvious

Based.
Not you getting banned but being willing to say objectively true things that get you banned

When your favourite team loses in the lower bracket loses you don't cry and say it should have been triple elimination. They just shouldn't have lost as I say. Same applies for single elim. Single elim allows a team to at least show one of the best parts of their map pool. Single map only allows for 1 map both teams are average at. The Single elim is still a complete package whereas the stupid formats you suggested below don't show which team is better.

Yes, my point was that the rest of the year doesn't matter there, good for sen.

Edit: Just thought I'd clarify, I do still like double elim over single, it gives fun story lines like zeta running their way through the lower bracket

How is it a non competitive format? Just don't lose? Having pressure not to lose always sounds pretty competitive to me.

People put in effort before the year starts in their teams to be good. Sentinels and fnatic weren't good out of no-where, they put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. It not lining up with the rest of the year shouldn't take anything away from them. If teams didn't play as well cause they weren't as practised at the start of the the year, sounds like work ethic/skill issue on their part. Lockin and Madrid are both real events
