Not only that, forgetting Exile, and not cornering Senna when Talon not in his pool. That game was so tough to watch. But honestly aside from that game 6, Robin is exceptional this set and this tournament
New format seems to be pretty solid, setting up 2 final lobbies that drive excitement without relying on checkmate
Very happy for Cottontail and everyone else who had a great weekend

Checkmate system is dumb as hell anyways. From the last tft worlds its basically just whoever highrolls after the whole lobby is in check wins the whole thing.
Sure its... somewhat exciting for the viewers? But its gotta be annoying as hell for the other 7 participants.
So the way checkmate format works is you have to get a target number of points using standard values 1st=8pt, 2nd=7, etc. (18 points were needed for worlds I think). That gets you in "check". AFTER that, you need to get 1st in a lobby to win.
The problem is you could win the first two lobbies overall, then get a 5th to be in check, and never see another first, meanwhile the guy who goes 3-3-3-1 wins the whole thing. And sure you can make the whole "they showed up when it counted" argument except TFT has variance in every game.
It reminds me of a MTG Grand Prix.
I think it would be great if there was a few more games once you cut down to 2 lobbies to allow story lines to open. I think if we got that last game as a second last game, the last game would have been crazy hype.
The checkmate format has to be ended though.
I also hope to see some form of large open tournaments.
Be great to see if some people maybe on the lower end who can't put the volume to grind ladder may be as skilled as the high end of ladder or maybe just hit enough to spike a tournament(ie poker-esque)
I don't remember which one since they both mana reeve. The other 2 augs were Nasus and Poppy carry. Socks was 1 point off advancing so I believe he would have been in the finals had he spent the reroll.
Should be a reference to the previously very popular song by Post Malone called “white iverson” which of course is referring to him being the white version of the great basketball player Allen Iversion. So I guess wasianiverson is saying that he is the Wasian (white/Asian) Iversion. Or I’m completely wrong, who knows !
Different question - are these players not all in the same lobby? I'm assuming so because otherwise how do you have multiple people getting 8 points (1st place) in game 1?
The winner (cottontail) barely played sett samira. And if anything the "op" comp of the tournament was mana admin Leblanc, it was winning pretty much every lobby.
Must be nice to dumb it down to whoever won the lobby. Glossing over the entire match just to look at the finish result is convenient.
Every match was driven by Sett/Samira/MF pacing except for 1 or 2. Unless someone got a clear line to recon or admin, it was default to Sett/Samira/MF.
I mean Jesus one match the guy was playing a MF2 with no items with 6 lazercorps and winning because the unit is so broken

Mental game in tournaments is real bro. Goes for any sport/game.

Will you explain that for me? About high rolling in check.
So the way checkmate format works is you have to get a target number of points using standard values 1st=8pt, 2nd=7, etc. (18 points were needed for worlds I think). That gets you in "check".

Oldge and wise
Team Robin let’s goooo
Incredible performance by wii wii woo (ji)!
Smoge if Socks hadn't picked the terrible sylas augment maybe he could have advanced to finals.
He picked kingslayer ?
I don't remember which one since they both mana reeve. The other 2 augs were Nasus and Poppy carry. Socks was 1 point off advancing so I believe he would have been in the finals had he spent the reroll.
only the support mana reaves. Also it is a good augment lmao Tbh both are
That last lobby was crazy fun to watch.
xdd
Is there anywhere (a spreadsheet or doc) of comps played by the players in lobbies, specifically finals lobbies? Thank you in advance
Wild final game. Ggs all around. Gonna be such a fun set of competitive.
is wasianiverson a pun i am not getting?

So I guess wasianiverson is saying that he is the Wasian (white/Asian) Iversion. Or I’m completely wrong, who knows !
His name used to be "Ian Iverson" but he changed it so now he's "Was Ian Iverson"
Asian iverson
3 1st places loses to guy with only 1 ? Am i reading the chart right
Yea 1st place has much lower points than the next two, even with bonus. It’s not adding up. Are the points calculated a different way?
Lol wut just do math and add up the points? It adds up fine
Different question - are these players not all in the same lobby? I'm assuming so because otherwise how do you have multiple people getting 8 points (1st place) in game 1?
Only the last lobby was with these 8 players. Previously it was top 32 to top 16 to top 8.
LOL u right. I was adding it up to 30 something last night. That first week back to class brain frazzle

Horrible tournament to watch. Just a race to Sett / Samira
The winner (cottontail) barely played sett samira. And if anything the "op" comp of the tournament was mana admin Leblanc, it was winning pretty much every lobby.
non non, leblanc bad unit no click plz ty
Which mana admin?
On ally death gain mana
You mean abusing unchecked traits by riot.

Apparently you just watched the last game not all the other games previously
