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

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

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

Not a fan of your nicknames but this is great life advice. Skibidi toilet dudes *dabs .

Just did a placement year doing Web development, student

Lzz will have the shortened nickname of L lmao

Yes you do have not to choke, if not choking wasn't a requirement for winning, prx would have 2 trophies.

Yes you do know how good teams were at the time of lockin they played at lockin, Yes teams evolve but then it wouldn't be at the time would it? Whether it is representative to the rest of the year is meaningless, if they lose, should have put in more practise beforehand like sen and fnatic did.

Edit: also I like the way you debate this is fun🥰

Nah bro you just have to keep trying🤣

Do you think your average negative iq England fan thinks about logistics, fans are stupid yet you still don't hear people talk about the limitations of the format.

Random agent select is completely different as players specialise in certain agents, single elim just means you play a normal series 1 time.

At the time of them playing, yes. You could say the same of masters Madrid and kickoff.Edg played pretty badly in masters Madrid but won champs at the end of the year, that doesn't take away anything from Sentinels winning.

A4. Lockin had a single elim format. I'm not disputing the actual claim but how much it matters. The playoffs for the World Cup is single elim but no-one starts going "L format" because of that, it has prestige because every country has a chance to win. Lockin had every vct team at the time and they all had the chance to win, if a team lost but were apparently better, their team should have gone and won then shouldn't they.

Single elim just requires your team not to choke, the only downside is that the people who come second, third and fourth might be wrong as they may have been beaten by the winner previously.

If any team at lockin like Nrg Loud c9 or 100T should of won(I name these teams because you're an americas cringer) why didn't they, because they played worse than the team that beat them or crumbled

A lot of Chinese players still have to prove themselves, some have only had half a year because the teams started removing all the Chinese frauds.

C9 will see this post, and due to their off season policy of make a terrible team that only wins regular season games, they will pick up a braindead controller player. They will somehow find a way to drop xeppa and oxy at the same time. Classic Clown9

I think most people can agree that Aspas is the best duelist and Leo is the beat initiator. Usually the people who disagree are delusional and say duelist or initiator for (insert flair here) is the best(insert role here). "I don't know about other regions but Victor is the undisputed goat"- nrg flair. I think the zmjjkk love at the moment might be very much recency bias, no one put him in the best discussion before champs. Having said that, China could end up rolling in years to come

There's only so much time you can delude yourself about navi I guess

I'm cooked, I instantly thought of the song rabbit hole

Watch c9 just pick up the hottest garbage from tier 2 when there are way better players waiting in the wings. It wouldn't be c9 without bad roster moves, somehow they'll find a way to drop oxy

They can say you don't have commitment

Apoth, redgar(depends whether he gets picked up again), vanity(people say he's great but name one team he led that was disciplined, I'll wait), GE
