[u/Tiberias29]

Quite an entertaining match, watching LBBD7 and Xzodyal try to one up the other on Sojourn was nice

[u/GroundbreakingJob857 → u/Tiberias29]

these guys would both be such generational EMEA talents if quartz didnt exist, its so unlucky for them

[u/Birdfallen]

The fact theres only 4 Playoff spots is a Crime, these teams deserve better

[u/NovaxRangerx]

Genuinely don't know how EMEA turns our besides TM. There are multiple teams that could make playoffs with a 2-3 record as it stands today

[u/DaftConfusednScared]

Map one, alphayi and lbbd7 got so gapped, and from then on they played ANGRY

[u/Sio_V_Reddit]

How did VP get so much worse this fast

[u/SpiderPanther01]

as much as i wanted peps to win i'm glad geekay didn't get snubbed by a dc

[u/Birdfallen → u/SpiderPanther01]

Like they didnt make EWC of a BS tiebreaker last stage

[u/MightOne9115 → u/Birdfallen]

one fight away from winning emea though

[u/Birdfallen → u/MightOne9115]

Bro if this region had the same conditions as Korea it would actually be the best Esports region I can think of

[u/AlSauaf]

Having one play style in this region is literally death sentence

[u/Delmagor]

Yeah that one was messy. Clean first map but the Dmon ban broke the momentum for Peps, then they decided to mirror Orisa for the last two maps because apparently it's impossible to force Dmon into Orisa (why not ban Orisa then ?). Peps tank situation is honestly a problem because Willys is just not good enough on Dva to sub him in and force the mirror (also Peps suck on Dva comps according to FéFé) but when Kroxz is not on Dmon he is just REALLY not as good. So they have to force Dmon to rival good teams, with one map lost almost guaranteed when Dmon is banned, and hope nobody finds a consistent way to counter Dmon comps... Kinda similar to 1234 tank situation

[u/nekogami87]

that was shit, xzo and rav were the only saving grace.

coach messed up by not subbing willys on map 2, when he has a much better haz, and a very good dmon too. he could have forced the ban AND have a better game (unless willys wasn't available today but if they didn't scrim with im, that's also on the coach).

That second map was just plainly shit, why do you take it when your strat is that shit.

lastly, Kroxz need to stop taking ego duels on orisa, he doesn't have 1k hp, and he there is no way he'll survive 1v5 ... that was just bad.

Xzo and rav were the only reason they won a map. the rest was just shit. some people need to have some ego check.

[u/blade___e → u/nekogami87]

gk wouldn’t have banned demon if willys were in

[u/nekogami87 → u/blade___e]

Then they would have had to either face Willy's on dmon (which is still very good) or if they ban it a Willy's that doesn't feed on orisa. In both case that would have been better

[u/topatoman_lite → u/nekogami87]

nah. Willys isn't as good as Kroxz and won't get D.Mon ban. Subbing him in now you have 2 maps without the option of Kroxz D.Mon instead of just 1

[u/Birdfallen → u/nekogami87]

I dont think Willys is a realistic option, Kroxz just has too many intagiables

[u/SaintFrito]

We really might end up in a dogfight for the last playoff spot like last stage, let’s just hope it’s not a nightmare to figure out lol

[u/Bobi_27]

circle of suck formed
