I haven't watched in ages, who was/is Parity?

Jul 03 '17
Parity means that there isn't a clearcut number one, but rather a number of "the best teams in the world", and it's sort of a cointoss as to who would win in a matchup between them.

Imagine that, would you. They show up outta nowhere, destroy NiP, get into majors by destroying DIG and then they go and win. Unlikely, but imagine it.

I mean, they still can. They haven't gone through a single bootcamp yet.
Let's wait and see, but I was expecting them to go through and show what they can do in the major. Sucks, but it is what it is.

u/altered_boy FaZe Jul 02 '17
I didn't have much expectations tho, they were together for a little while. I'm sure once they have established, they will be able to perform as expected

VEGA Squadron qualifies for the major by beating Optic, Tyloo & Dig.
Well at least it's slightly better than Dig beating Tengri, Renegades & Vega if Dig won.

Imagine saying beating OpTic and Dignitas is the easy road at a major qualifier a couple of months ago.

u/FlintHolloway BIG Jul 02 '17
Would have sounded quite reasonable. Dignitas was a bit of a mess from the start. And regarding OpTic: Try saying the following sentence without laughing: "This NA Team did quite well during the last months, and i'm pretty sure they will do well in a few months too."
9
u/seanfidence Jul 02 '17
I understand the point you are making, but most of the teams this time have qualified by scoring wins against teams that ended up getting eliminated. G2 defeated 2 qualified teams (possibly 3 if F3 wins) so they certainly had the hardest route to win, but Mouz only beat one qualified team, and Immortals beat 0 same as Vega. Whomever wins F3-Liquid will have beaten 0 teams as well. Depending on who wins F3-Liquid, then C9, Penta, and BIG's number will be either 1 or 2.
Of course, there are teams like Godsent who lost to 3 qualified teams. Makes you wonder "what if they had an easier route". But there's always some element of that.

u/tgsan Jul 02 '17
Yeah, I was gonna say Vega did good this game and I'm glad that Dig lost because if they made it by beating those teams...most bullshit way. OG/Tyloo > Tengri/RNG at least so yeah.

They did get the easiest possible draw out of 5 teams, I don't think they're really a top 16 team but they did what they had to do.

which teams won vs better opponents and didn't qualify?
1
u/AngriestGamerNA Liquid Jul 02 '17
Hellraisers maybe, didn't really get a chance to prove it. Whoever fails out of Liquid vs F3 I think is better as well. I can guarantee those teams would have loved to draw vega (or dig for that matter).

u/kerau DAT Jul 02 '17 edited Jul 02 '17
lets look on actual results and not which teams are considered better
liquid beat hr and tyloo
hr beat vega and tyloo
f3 beat hr and renegades
i don't think you can say that any of these results are objectively more impressive than (optic/tyloo/dignitas) from vega, people shit on dignitas now, but they played pretty good till last map

Dig got the easiest path, OG/Tyloo > RNG/Tengri. Not to mention Dig almost lost to RNG, actually RNG was slightly better than OG this event, then again OG was mediocre at best.

People saying this justifies the 2 spots are forgetting the teams they actually beat to get the major spot. They played well overall, but people are overreacting to the results.

Watching dig's t-side was like being on the losing team in MM. Smokes are thrown, yet nobody is going in, waiting for friberg 2013 to travel forward in time and get 3 entries on the site for them, leaving the CT's enough time to rotate everyone in.

u/STKNsBESTPLAYER The MongolZ Jul 02 '17
This is both good and bad. Vega made the major, fuck yeah, but that means if F3 make it through over Liquid we'll have two subpar teams from the CIS minor and if F3 doesn't we'll have F3 from the CIS minor and another bad team. Even more crying about wasted slots then.

u/YoIndi FaZe Jul 02 '17
This match was actually quite close in the start, even though vega was ahead 7-0 all the rounds had been pretty close, but the decider really was that dignitas was to sloppy with their executes, and they didn't read vega good at all.

dignitas is a new team and they've almost made it to the major. Look at Immortals and how many tries they needed to do it.
I hope dig understands this and keeps practicing because IMO their roster is good enough to play at a major... they just need to practice more.
