its a bad tournament tho so its a mickey. means nothing to standings and actual skill level of the team. Just because the teams care because of money doesn't make it a major if the tournament is shit. mickey.

plus nrg are winning, so proof its a mickey.

soup clears ngl.

some people really don't want to face the fact that EWC is a mickey.

if yall want to cope with the "it'll be better next year!" messages then can we at least stop lying and saying b01s are good. I better not see this shit again.

how would orgs even get any money then?

ye bro let's have best of 1 round. Pistol only. That'd be great, because you still have to outaim and win, and the stakes for that round would be so high!

Real shit, do they have your family hostage?

bro's typing nonsense.

by definition more randomness means the better team won't always win, which makes it feel less significant and makes it worse.

If u don't care about that, that's a you thing. A lot of people do, and they don't like it.

bo1s are more random by nature, and it's even more true since this is the first time most of these times have played it. Scheduling is also ass. It's undeniably more random than other big tournaments.

because its a bad format. obviously

its tarik bro he doesnt have opinions.

ye bro, I know, that's why I said they already got that.

cope

this is true. this is why we're looking so good. we lock in for mickeys.

Major mickey

they already got some fat paychecks, they dont need the mickey win.

For context, Leaf isn't playing in EWC for health reasons. He's not off the team though, and may or may not come back for later events this year.

ik. I'm not mad bro, I'm just explaining a contradiction I see a lot of.

its very easy to argue actually. just play the game.

I don't think that's fair. Sideshow doesn't have that much worse takes than anybody else. Every analyst, fans, and even pro players, are bad at predicting things. Results in Val and team momentum and form has always been unpredictable. The only difference with Sideshow is that he is more open and confident in his opinions for entertainment value. People are just more in-tune with Sideshows track record because he makes a bigger show of it, but if we look back everybody has similar levels of egg on their face.

is there really tho?

APAC/China makes up half the teams dude. That's normal. People are just used to EMEA/America's domination. This is a more even spread.

Every region (except shitmea) has two teams in the playoffs rn tho. Just pretty even.

bro the format is obviously not changing. 0% chance.

almost like the regions are pretty even (minus shitmea)

nah Wolves is calling well what are you on? give em some credit.

wardell clears all these guys

don't make stupid posts like this about them and you'll be fine in a month

MAYBE 100t and NRG. But only maybe. NRG only get thru if they don't get matched against Billy, and 100t if they don't choke (they will).

Other teams are never getting through though don't kid yourself.

I don't think they'll go far, but I'd take them over MIBR or Wolves.

better than 3 am or whatever it has been

no you imagined that.

nah they exist. Lots of people are very high on him. Not even coming from a hater, I'm just ambivalent on him.

to play in big enough matches against good enough competition to be in the GOAT debate you have to be on a good enough team to get to said matches. That's just kinda how it is.

the ones that play into it are weird af. some just do it cuz they dont like showing their face tho

Because you have to purchase cat tail and blover is post-game. Main game cactus is important.

idk how connections work so it was really hard.

"propaganda" is crazy. It's just a couple of dudes and their opinions.

whole ass anime intro

I don't even really hate it. I just think it's marginally distasteful and the production and format is god awful.

never have I seen such stalwart defenders of a goddamn tournament. Are people actually being paid? Why do you guys care so much?

wait that game was fire.

asuna not even top 50

sinatraa deserved it tho.

its obviously not about how good the players are, it's for the players own good.

The format and structure of the tournament does allow for more variance though, so a team doing bad in EWC because EWC sucks is still a little valid.

salman don't know u lil bro

alright I lied, there might be TWO people actually mad here.

people aren't even that mad tbh. You might literally be the only one who's genuinely really mad here.

Jujutsu Kaisen is another anime that's all-action and mid story, but at least that one's action is actually really good. And the story tries to be interesting, even if it's poorly thought out. Mid leveling is just mid.
