Not looking good for Na'Vi :smith:

I don't think 7 will be enough to even get to a UB tiebreak.

Group B tiebreaker situation is gonna be such a poo poo show.

I'm trying to figure out a way for there to be an elimination tiebreak AND a UB/LB tiebreak but I don't think it's possible :(

Honestly it wouldn't shock me if there ends up being no tiebreakers, which is a sad outcome.

Group A, though, looks ripe.

Na'Vi not getting to 8 points really ruined the chaos of group B :mad:

I think the best chance we have at a tiebreak is infamous sweeping rng, fnatic/vp splitting, and nip/eg splitting. Puts Infamous, Fnatic, and EG at 8 in the 3-5 spots.

I'm hoping for the RNG/NiP elimination tiebreak, personally. Because the stakes are higher and also it means EG probably starts in the LB.

Liquid TNC is just non-stop fights. It's like the ghost of Dennis hopper rigged both teams' rooms to explode if they don't get a kill every minute

Mineski's win over Newbee puts them at eight points each. Nine will probably get you into UB, but there is a scenario where three teams finish at 9 (TNC and Alliance 2-0ing their matches)

Is this liquid TNC game inconsequential for standings or something? Both teams kind of playing with reckless abandon

not even close lol

Basically if TNC 2-0s then the only tiebreak is at 9 points, and only if Alliance 2-0's LGD (they are looking good in game one though and LGD has nothing to play for)

If liquid wins then the winner of game 2 has to hope alliance splits or gets 0-2'd with LGD because there will be a guaranteed tiebreak at eight (with the loser of mineski/newbee game two and possibly alliance as well) if Alliance can't get to 9.

It feels like they're trying to copy OG with changing a support into a carry out of nowhere and not having as much success. I think they got the idea yesterday when GH decided to go the attack speed talent on CM at a long game and bought a deso to help with attacking buildings.

GH got a 4-kill streak in the first 6 minutes of the game, and had a full Tranquils/Drums at like 7 minutes. Liquid then decided to collectively play like poo poo so he had to revert back to support.

He just buy a desperation Deso tho

Yeah getting kills early doesn't mean you are a carry. It usually means the opposite tbh
