u/calebci G2 Jun 28 '17
I want some "new" teams to qualify so we can get some different stickers.
(IMT, Tyloo, BiG, etc.)

Jun 28 '17
The fact that some of my guns have Splyce stickers still amuses me. Also, that I get to use this flair.

u/calebci G2 Jun 28 '17
yup, Splyce is an example of a team with a cool logo that makes cool stickers lol

u/gvto Tyloo Jun 28 '17
BiG probably have the best chance IMO, but it depends which NA team shows up tomorrow. How Liquid react to the Chinese style of play/BnTneT will be fun to watch, I hope TyLoo pull through. (Screw PeaceMaker though, he needs to let them do their thing).

Semi unrelated but recently I've been reminiscing/thinking about how good of an awper KennyS is. IMO when it comes to awping there's everybody and then there's KennyS. Blows my mind it's even possible to be so good at something in a video game.

So what are your preds, everyone? My friend and I discussed this stuff a few days before ECS, but we also decided that we weren't changing the preds once it was only Legends remaining in the tournament.
Him: G2, HR, Mouz, IMT, Liquid, Dignitas, Penta, Big
Me: G2, HR, Mouz, IMT, Liquid, Dignitas, Godsent, F3

u/DerMitDemBlunt Jun 28 '17
G2, HR, Mouz, IMT will make it for sure I think. Other 4 for me would be BIG and Penta (based on their minor performance) RNG (pretty much the same) and Liquid (best NA team in attendance and based on raw skill could probably make it) Dark Horses: C9, Optic (if on point simply much more raw skill than some of the other teams) , F3 (because they always find their way to the major somehow) and Dig (based on minor performance and being a relative unknown for other teams). Vega, Tengri, Tyloo and Godsent would really suprise me if they would make it.

u/suxxezz_ Jun 28 '17
Why do you think G2 won't make it?
7
u/brooky12 NiP Jun 28 '17
It was a copypaste error, G2 was the first team I had listed and missed it in the copypaste. I updated my post - I had just 7 without G2. I tried to keep the formatting between my friend's preds and myself matched up until we disagreed on Penta/BIG and Godsent/F3.

u/pancada_ FURIA Jun 28 '17
I think penta and big have bigger chances than f3 and godsent tbh

C9 & Penta 3&0
G2 Mousesports & Hellraisers 3&1
Liquid Renegades & Flipsid3 3&2

u/Polskidro Jun 29 '17
I think Tyloo and C9 will make it. More likely than Godsent, F3, Penta or Dignitas imo.

Nip didnt even qualify for the qualifier for the qualifier for the major qualifier for the major.
In other words, they didnt make the minor. Also friberg left.

Good god. They even left Cloud9 behind in disappointing fans.
Sad about friberg though.
Edit: Thank you for sharing the information. Appreciate it.

ugh starts at 3am i guess that's payback by EU from all the 3am eleague finals hope the actual major starts a bit later tho

u/mueller723 Jun 28 '17
The fact that Valve sponsored, international tournaments continue being held with timeframes that leave 1 of the 2 primary viewing audiences unable to watch large portions of the tournament is stupid.

u/iSluff Jun 28 '17
Yea I don't think it even needs to be this way, you could just do a middleman time. How far ahead is romania, like 6 hours? It doesn't need to start at 9am local time...

Jun 28 '17
If it started 2-3 hours later it would finish around midnight and it would be much easier for NA to watch
2
Jun 28 '17
they should just get NA teams to play on their appropriate timezone so their fans can watch it
2
u/iSluff Jun 28 '17
I've always thought that I have no clue why tournaments don't do that. I think it's a problem for aus/asia too. I think a lot of these tournaments don't do everything they can to maximize their viewership. These guys should hire an analytics guy to see how they can really maximize their viewership, because right now they're not doing some common sense stuff.

Wow, you really think TyLoo can win over a spot over teams like OG and F3?

u/Rajewel Jun 28 '17
TyLoo vs OG would a fun match to see, I think F3 are dog shit. TyLoo with BnTeT and Peacemaker makes them scary. Im expecting a more tactical TyLoo.

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jun 28 '17
That is true, but they haven't had peacemaker that long. F3 aren't that good, but I still think they have a better chance than TyLoo. RNG is a more interesting one, I'd love to see them make it.

3-0 G2, C9, 3-1 Liquid, Big, Mouse 3-2 Immortals, Hellraisers, Optic 2-3 Penta, Godsent, Dig 1-3 Vega RNG Flip 0-3 Tengri and Tyloo
That's my Swiss format predictions. Simply on the basis of recent results; overall tournaments last few months and quality of players who have played higher competition. It was a tough choice between Penta and Optic. I just feel like Optic having Mixwell, rush, Naf & Tarik was my tie breaker.

Liquid seem really overrated right now. They've had one good event calm down. And that 'good' event had them not making it out of groups.

Semis at ESL and a decent tournament at ECS, taking maps off of Astralis. They'll be a formidable team before long. They're already a top 10 imo. "Calm down"

u/orynse MOUZ Jun 30 '17
ESL:
Won Bo1 vs NRG.
Won Bo1 vs Optic
Lost Bo1 vs Navi
Lost Bo1 vs Mouz
Won Bo1 vs North
Won Bo3 (2-1) vs Envyus
Lost a Bo3 (0-2) vs NorthECS:
Lose Bo1 vs Astralis
Win Bo3 (2-1) vs Fnatic
Lose Bo3 (1-2) vs AstralisThe only things they've done to justify the praise they're getting is that they beat Fnatic in a BO3. Winning a single map in a Bo3 isn't enough.
They may be on the rise, but that doesn't mean they're even guaranteed to qualify to the major, and I wouldn't be overly shocked if they don't.
I'd personally put them at 7th or 8th to qualify - wouldn't be too surprised if they were to go 3-1, equally wouldn't be surprised if they go 2-3, or 1-3 with an unlucky draw.

Is there really only an English stream?

At least German and French streams are already confirmed.
Brazilian and Rusian streams are obviously happening. Probably a lot more.→ More replies (1)

I don't think so, they're looking quite promising now that they've got kNg. The guy finally has an opportunity to show his skills on a Major and I don't think he'll blow that chance

It says mousesports benched chisJ and replaced him with Oskar. Is that just false or did I miss that bit of news?
3
u/MantaRochenHL de_overpass Jun 28 '17
It is true. Oskar was in Mouz last year for a few weeks after they benched nex. It did not work out, they benched Oskar again and Lowel came in for him. After the major, they benched ChrisJ, Oskar came back in. Niko left and then they benched Spiidi and brought Chris back.

u/hpzorz Jun 28 '17
The lineup for Mouse has been ChrisJ lowel Oskar Denis and Ropz for a little while now. Dunno why it says chrisj is benched for someone already on the team

u/oliverjelez NiP Jun 28 '17
G2, mouz, BIG, Penta, Liquid, HellRaisers, Renegades and last spot will be either Cloud9 or Immortals, depends whether shroud steps up or not :)

Inb4 Immortals loses in a close game to G2, gets the strongest team in the 0-1 pool possible, goes all the way to 2-2 pool but don't make it to the major.
2
u/MantaRochenHL de_overpass Jun 28 '17
Either G2 or Immortals are going to lose in the 2-2 match against Flipside. I want to see it and i am gonna tell my granchildren about it.

Anyone have the most updated version of the bracket?
Kind of looks like this:

Makes it easier to explain when discussing the qualification system to those that don't follow the scene as much.

so strange not to see nip and fnatic here

I mean fnatic fluked their way to Legends, and NiP couldn't even qualify for the Minor.

The way Hellraisers lost their anti-eco got me thinking. The Galil is really bad in full auto, the SMGs are not very useful against upgraded pistols. I wonder if the mousesports-anti-eco is going to become more prevalent. Upgraded pistols after 2nd round win guarantees you a full buy in the 3rd round no matter the outcome while still having good firepower against the 2nd round forcebuy of the losing team. New meta inc?

u/changgerz de_inferno Jun 30 '17
i wonder if valve will ever get their heads out of their asses and properly balance smg/pistols? tec9 arguably better than all smg's. more damage, far cheaper, large mag, good fire rate, movement speed... especially with the UMP nerf, which was totally unnecessary and even a step in the wrong direction IMO
