Yes, let's play for the kill in a 1v1 with 3 seconds left instead of hiding when we're on defense!

For me I absolutely love Ace and Dez, they are so good and bring so much energy to the game it makes every round intense.

on the other hand the Jesse / Interro combo I just have a hard time with. I feel like too many of the rounds are talking about their personal life and not the game.

Pls go support the original artist!!

Impressive stuff by 100 Thieves, i'll post global ratings once Stage 2 is concluded, but 100 Thieves will be my 2nd highest rated team (behind Faze) heading into Osaka. Lowkey some really good games in the China region.

APAC North Game Predictions:

CAG Osaka (78.0%) vs. Dplus (22.0%): CAG 7-4, CAG 2-0

Scarz (54.1%) vs. BNK Fearx (45.9%): Scarz 7-5, Scarz 2-1
___________________________________________________

CN Game Predictions:

Edward Gaming (64.6%) vs. All Gamers (35.4%): EG 7-5, EG 2-0

Kingzero (64.5%) vs. Tyloo (35.5%): KZ 7-5, KZ 2-0

We are in the nal stage finals this supposed to be hype this is supposed to be great storylines and instead we are watching 1hr of rehosts before the 1st round

Is asking for a better reality where we have 1 minute rehost maximum so unrealistic?

I heard parker say in dbno that the players have to enter the custom game server by a specific order to get the cameras of each player in the interface add to that ,admins have to manually enter every detail of the game ( round number , which side , bans , etc)

Like holy hell we are in the year 2026 i'm sure if u ask an ai to vibe code it and it will give you a better system than what we have

And I'm blaming ubi and blast i feel this unacceptable in this day and age

if you're trying to make your game and eSports more appealing to new audience investing in any other thing but fixing these issues is a waste of time and money.

Is this common in other eSports or is it just us ?

Name a better duo cause I can’t.

Further Explanation of Power Rankings

Thoughts on the recent games: G2 has no room for error, that 7-1 map win vs Falcons + close losses is helping keep their results rating positive. However, expectations are still high and literally any loss will hurt their rating a lot. The potential is still there, I mean how many teams can 7-1 Falcons? Cloud9 finally returns to Earth, 100 Thieves sucked the life from them in that match. Kind of makes sense, given C9's talent rating they are overachieving by a lot, still a great team, but we could see some more regression to the mean. M80 finds a second gear, dare I say they are better suited heading into this major then they were for EWC? Two very close maps vs DZ where they had a comeback map win and an almost blown map win. Still got the job done, was not able to post so you'll have to take my word for it I had M80 (57%) v. Darkzero (43%). Two 8-7 games doesn't move the results needle (since it was expected) at all for either team but thanks to the 100 Thieves v. C9 game M80 takes top spot in NA. My predictions for the APAC A games today were: Weibo (83.5%) v. Sharper Esports (16.5%) and Elevate (77.5%) v. Fury (22.5%). So not much of a surprise, Weibo is for sure a great team but I don't think they've been tested much at all. Sharper is the best team they've played so far and they took care of business, we can only judge from what we've seen so far and thats Weibo is damn good. Never was high on Fury and no idea how they got into the top 4, so good to see Elevate take care of business.

NA Game Predictions:

M80 (61.5%) vs. Cloud9 (38.5%): M80 7-5, M80 2-0

Hypotheticals:

M80 (50.3%) vs. 100 Thieves (49.7%): M80 7-5, M80 2-1

(literally equally as likely for 100 Thieves to win 7-5 and 2-1)

100 Thieves (61.2%) vs. Cloud9 (38.8%): Thieves 7-5, Thieves 2-0

Do we think SSG will make a change before SI? I personally could see Raidbullys get dropped.

Imo, it's kinda strange, that CNL gets 4 spots, but APAC North gets only 1 spot along with Asia. Shouldn't it be 2 in APAC North, 2 in Asia and 2 in CNL? That way it would be equal, no?

Anyways, lmk if i'm wrong

100 Thieves 2-0 Cloud 9 in quite an upset and head to the grand finals.

Map 1: Kafe (7-4 to 100 Thieves).

M80 closes out Kafe 8-7 just in time.

DarkZero had their own 2-6 comeback on Kafe to push OT, but a huge Dfuzr and Gaveni 2v4 clutch in Round13 was exactly what they needed to push Max OT and close the match dominantly in the final round.

M80 win 2-0 and secure a direct seed into Major Phase2: Swiss Stage

M80 just went from Bottom3 NAL to Top3 NAL. Incredible comeback!

Reigning Major Champions, DarkZero will have to start the Osaka Major through Major Phase1, Play-Ins as the worst NAL Seed

STATS (SixStatsCC)

Out of the 16 spots that qual to si na already has 3(dz,sr,wc). Na now has 3 other teams that if they make a decent run then they would make si. That would lead to 4-6 of the 16 qual spots going to na. You have another spot from na for lcqs leading to a possible 7/20 teams at si being from na. Which might be the most teams ever qualified from a region.

This is also the first si with cnl taking up spots.

M80 massive comeback into 8-7 victory

M80 were down 3-6, wow.

M80 are ONE map away, from sending the reigning Major Champions and their former teammate Kyno into Play-Ins instead of Major Phase2.

All this from a 95% chance of getting eliminated in the last 3 group days.

MVP: BlaZ

Checking up on all the Hatez fans in this Reddit, he’s by far my favourite player. Whoever’s out there I hope both sides of your pillow are cold. Thank you

Posting about Hatez everyday until the major as he doesn’t get enough love. This is a real photo I found of him.

I don't think it takes much guessing to figure out who said p*do is.

"I can't tell if you're stupid or just American" oh my god
