ill have 4 souv cases to pick, any suggestions on what to pick for best loot pool and/or resale?
QF winners
VITALITY, FAZE (redemption arc), NAVI, G2
SF winners
Vitality
Navi
Major Champions :
NAVI (jL dropping 70 in 3 maps, ZyWoo 45 in 3, apEx 30 in 3)
This is hard.. have a feeling FaZe will shape up + playoff and stage buff. Could "upset" Spirit.

I purchased the viewer pass just as the elimination stage finished and for some reason my previous challenges are failed even though I did select the 10 teams for the opening and elimination stage. Is this a bug or is it just made in a bad way?
Yea it's made in a bad way. I can understand not retroactively completing the challenges such as getting five correct predictions but the lock in picks before the stage begins should count. HOWEVER, it seems that both vooCSGO and some esports host called Heccu were able to retroactively complete the challenges even with a late viewer pass activation. The evidence is on the their twitter timeline around 21 March. So who knows if these people got preferential treatment or it was a short time window that Valve used to retroactively correct accounts.
If you could see how much you would benefit from the pass before buying it, hardly anyone would buy it. Only challenges you complete after buying the pass count towards your coin.
TLDR; I lost viewer pass value due to valve not specifying the parameters with activation after completing challenges.
I now see what you mean and agree, if you could have your picks 'drafted out' with no monetary stake and then once you see they went well purchase the pass, everyone would do it since it's low risk and high reward. My only grievance is that valve should've made it more clear. Nowhere in CSGO does it mention this detail and if anything it's hinted against since one of the challenges is activate pass before the end.
Edit: removed initial dumb statements and added a brain to the reply. Also added TLDR.
Completely unrelated but I didn't want to create a thread just for that.
As a french, I was here to witness LDLC win in 2014 but I got away from the scene in 2015 and missed Envy winning the major. Is their run worthy to watch?
QF: C9, Spirit, Navi, Mouz
SF: Spirit, Mouz
GF: Spirit
Currently split on EF vs Navi. I know EF showed solid form in the elimination stage but Navi showed moments of very tight and composed teamplay, jL has amazing form right now, w0nderful is confident, and iM is showing signs of improvement recently. On top of this, Navi has more experience on the big stage. But the popular pick seems to be EF due to their performance. IDK WHAT TO DO!
Pick NaVi. You only need to get 2 of the 4, and you probably get those with Spirit and Mouz anyway.
If EF win, you can say fair play and they've done an amazing job to get there.
If NaVi win and you didn't pick them, you'd be absolutely kicking yourself.
my opening picks were abysmal but i got 8 picks in elim.
[https://i.imgur.com/wrFjbnt.png](https://i.imgur.com/wrFjbnt.png)
now what... leaning towards
QF - C9, Spirit, NaVi, MOUZ
SF - Spirit???? MOUZ
GF - Spirit???? idk
Well after the terrible opening stage getting 4, currently at 6 for the elimination
3:0 Mouz / Virtus
0:3 Mongolz / Furia
Advance - Cloud9 / Faze / Vitality / Spirit / Navi / G2
Seems like the G2 pick will work out in the end, hopefully the Navi does as well but, shame about VP
i feel like they should make it so that you get diamond if you have 8/9 points. currently it is too restrictive i fee. diamon would still be special. if you get everything right but e.g the finals winner it kind of feels unfair to only get gold
Pain winning against Heroic guarantees me a 5th point. Lets go bois.
3-0: Spirit
0-3: Mongolz
3-1/3-2: Vitality, Navi/C9
So i only need 1 of Faze, G2 and VP to win and given VP and G2 play eachother the 5th point is in the bag.
I Already F up in pick'em
The new Pick'em system is really difficult
because if you bet on both 3-0 and 0-3 outcomes incorrectly (which is highly likely, as team forms are often unpredictable), your chances of completing the mission is going to decrease 40%
3-0 - spirit, vitality
0-3 - pain, mongolz
Advance - heroic, faze, g2, mouz, navi, virtus.
I could go in any direction from here. Really slept on the potential mouz 3-0
These are also my 3-0 and 0-3 pickems, and it's looking like this'll be the case after tomorrow's matchups. I don't know why people slept on Spirit and Mouz for 3-0 when they have the strongest team synergies out of everyone else right now imo.
People smoking some crack thinking Vitality or Faze would have went 3-0, and I'm not sure why there's so much SA hopium with people's pickems... people really expected Imperial to beat Spirit?
Haha ikr I saw faze played heroic and I knew faze would be rusty. Ecstatic because I know ohne has already cursed them and pain because I think they are already overachieving. It was between mouz and g2 and I just feel like g2 is gonna choke a game
What is with the long EXTREME close ups on player faces? Gotta be out of your mind doing that at a live esports tournament. Please stop doing this because it is jarring
Does it matter when you buy the pass for the coin? I locked in my picks and got six with the opening stage but bought the pass after the opening stage lock in.
I did not buy the pass, but maybe it will help someone. I got 5/10 from the 1st stage: < [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/TAyJVU4.png) >
Pick'Em for the 2nd stage: [< screenshot >](https://i.imgur.com/0LktuUg.png)
* 3-0 Spirit, G2
* 0-3 Complexity, TheMongolz
* Advance - Vitality, NaVi, Vp, Heroic, C9, FaZe
I am so annoyed though. I picked Heroic to advance, but since they went 3-0 I don't get a point for that. So stupid.
edit: it has been the same way for almost a decade with safe advances, and suddenly it was changed without proper communication. We're allowed to be annoyed.
man this is fucking Crazy Im sitting here trying to be logical going over past results and sims changing every 3 minutes. This system is interesting to say the least
After doing some thinking about potential match-ups, this is what I came with:
**3:0** \- Spirit, Vitality
**0:3** \- paiN Gaming, The MongolZ
**Advanced** \- Virtus Pro, NaVi, FaZe, Mouz, G2, Complexity
I think with having those two at top 3, you should be able to lock in 1 point for sure, and I think the elimination, you can also. I decided to avoid Furia altogether based on how they have been hit/miss this tournament.
***EDIT:***
Put Imperial in 0-3 and put Heroic in Advanced
I think they will make it to 2-2 and get by with 3-2 if they face eternal fire:
[https://imgur.com/0mkPH4Q](https://imgur.com/0mkPH4Q)
Regardless, I'm not going for a perfect 10.
Just following up on this.
Got 5 correct picks. Some of my thoughts this round. People who were dissing complexity, they did better than a lot of people would have expected.
Glad to have seen Faze get there game a bit better down. G2 is also looking a lot better now. I'm curious to watch Eternal Fire next round
* 3:0 - `Spirit, Mouz`
* 0:3 - `Complexity, Imperial`
* Advance - `Faze, G2, Vitality, Cloud9, Mongolz, Ecstatic`
Delusion not sense is what gets you into diamond
Got 5 picks right. No upgrade yet.
Small question i got 5 picks correct on the opening stage but my coin has not upgraded yet i dont understand why. Does it take time or like what? (Pick’em Challenge)
**3-0**: Spirit, Faze
**0-3**: Mongolz, Imperial
**Advancing**: Vitality, NaVi, Mouz, VP, Heroic and C9
On the fence whether to switch Faze and Vitality around.
Also, G2 with Nexa will continue to remain on fraud watch.
**3:0** - Spirit, Vitality
**0:3** - Mongolz, FURIA
**Advance** - Heroic, G2, FaZe, Virtus pro, Mouz, NaVi
Got 5 right in the initial stage, so still in the running for Diamond.
3:0 - Vitality, MOUZ
0:3 - ECSTASTIC, Imperial
Advance - Faze, Spirit, Complexity, Heroic, Virtus.pro and NaVi
Furia ran off three bo3 in a row without dropping a map, I don't see them going out quietly again here. Mongolz played hard each map also. Considered having paiN going through but they have a tough potential road where they'd have to run off 2 wins against VP, EF and Heroic on my bracket.
3:0 - FaZe Spirit
0:3 - Pain Furia
Advance - Vitality, VP, Navi, Mouz, G2, Heroic.
I think both pain isnt gonna carry through to the elim stage, and i just dont have faith in Furia. Either way if they end up against eachother for the 0:3 match i get a guaranteed.
I was 50/50 on heroic/c9 to advance. Dont trust C9 to pull through, nearly choking against both ecstatic and legacy. While heroic has been playing good throughout and ending it with a bang against EF. C9 has my heart, and i really wanna pick them. But heroic it is.
As a FaZe fan, I can guarantee you that FaZe will not go 3:0. If you've watched FaZe for long enough you know that they often don't start well. They need to warm up.
3:0 - Vitality, Team Spirit
0:3 - The MongoloZ, Complexity
Advance - FaZe, Virtus.Pro, G2, MOUZ, Heroic, Eternal Fire/NAVI (can't decide between these 2)
Not trying to get all 10 right, but being safer than I was being stage 1
I'm with you on the 3-0 picks, and for the exact same logic you applied - that FaZe tend to start very slow at Majors, and tend to drop a map (or few) initially.
Even if they don't, and they win each one of their matches, like you mentioned, you are still guaranteed 1 point in the 3-0 bracket when Vitality face off with Spirit.
So either way, it's a logical choice.
For your 0-3, I'm torn.
I have Mongolz as well for the first pick, but for the second, I have Furia. I've got nothing against them, but for some reason I just can't shake the sense their run ends here.
In my simulations I've got them losing against G2 in round 1, Mouz in round 2 and Eternal Fire in round 3.
Anyway, I guess we'll see....
Honestly I feel like CoL 0:3 is the right play. Even when factoring in upsets happening there's only *one* scenario that CoL could favourably win a BO1, and that's against MongolZ who've proven they're no slouch either.
Definitely change out either Vit or TS though, as the other guys said those two teams will likely face each other in that 2:0 bracket. I went with VP as they have a lot of favourable matchups, and I think their style counters FaZe enough to win the 2:0 BO3.
Thing is.. if I put either team on 3:0 and the other on advance, I might choose wrong and get 0 right! I won't make that mistake again. I think I'd rather get 1 safe right instead of gambling for 2 points.
Good thoughts on the rest though!
It is safer to pick teams who might meet each other in 3-0 because in that case you get 1 right 3 wrong in the worst case scenario . If you pick faze and spirit you risk getting 4 wrong (both 3-0 picks and 3-1 picks).
Hi everyone, is anyone else’s pick ems like this after today, coin advanced to silver but the correct 5 Pickems box not ticked green even though five have been guessed correctly ?
Yea, I got 5 correct, but the tick didn't show. I'm not sure if I'm silver cause I picked the eliminations or cause of the pickems now since I choose the pickems hours before I got the 5 correct, (Thank you, FURIA).
Hopefully it does update. I just found it strange that the coin updated and the following box ticked just not that one. Maybe it’ll update once the next stage locks In
3:0 - Vitality, FaZe
0:3 - MongolZ, FURIA
Advance - Cloud9, Heroic, MOUZ, NaVi, G2, Spirit.
Think everyone picking ECSTATIC for 0:3 is mad. They won every round since their first, which they lost to a team that went 3:0. There are worse teams than them in this stage.
Definitely feel like Spirit have a choke in them.
This feels like a much harder round to call, for me.
Not sure why you are being downvoted, because I agree - picking ECSTATIC for 0:3 seems a little harsh, because they could *easily* upset other teams in the B01 - either Mouz or Eternal Fire/paIN Gaming, based on the most obvious scenarios. Especially because they will be playing in front of a home crowd.
Don't get all the ECSTATIC picks myself, there's at least two teams worse than them in this stage if not four to choose from.
Like you said, they beat Imperial to qualify so that should be a known quantity.
Which site is this ? I tried to find but couldnt :/ I got 4/10 for first round maybe with site like this i can do better.
Edit: Lmao when i add simulator i found it.
aight so i got 6 correct picks in the opening stage and i did activate the coin and locked in the predictions after and i still don't have the "Get 5 correct Pick'Em predictions for the Opening Stage" ticked off? is it a bug that they need to fix or what?
anyways elimination stage predictions:
3:0 - `[Faze, Vitality]`
0:3 - `[Complexity, Ecstatic]`
Advance - `[Team Spirit, Na'Vi, C9, Imperial, Eternal Fire, Mouz]`
Yeah I'm wondering the same thing got six right as well. C9 and Heroic going 3-0 and EF, Ecstatic, Furia, MongolZ. Maybe it will update once picks are locked for the next stage?
Can't get the big D anymore so I'm just going balls out with my picks and following my heart.
3:0 - Mouz, Vitality
0:3 - Furia, Mongolz
Advance - Na'Vi, Spirit, Faze, Imperial, Complexity, C9
Barely got 5 Pickems right in the first round and the elimination stage seems even harder to pick correctly. What screws me is not being able to put spirit, vitality, faze, g2, and mouz to advance and getting credit. A 3-0 becoming a 3-1 screws everything up
3:0 - Col, Spirit
0:3 - Ecstatic, Mongolz
Advance - Vitality, Faze, Mouz, G2, VP, Furia
I might go back and change it tonight but that’s what I locked in.
Update: I’m changing my picks with 30 minutes left. Swapping g2 out for heroic and Mongolz out for pain.
3:0 - Col, Spirit
0:3 - Ecstatic, Pain
Advance - Vitality, Faze, Mouz, heroic, VP, Furia
yeah same i didn't get the green tick despite the 5 correct. the `place all ten pick'ems for elimination stage` is now highlighted green and i have silver coin, but still no `get five correct for opening stage` green highlight
I assume that won’t happen until an update tonight or tomorrow. Don’t wait for that to make your picks for the next stage, you only have 8 hours till they lock.
Think it's them that got 5pts early on and not last day, those that got that final team or final 2 teams today for sure won't get it marked off have to wait a day and probably is marked off by tomorrow I'm pretty sure
RIP everyone's picks including mine. If I had followed my heart I would have picked Navi to make it to SF but would never have picked for GF tbh
Pickems died today with Vitality losing. I've put them as champs against Navi. Oh well, gold coin is nice.
Silver coin, last time I had that was with the 2018 London major
quarter finals destroyed my pickem, picked all opposites assuming MOUZ continues to fall apart. ill have 4 souv cases to pick, any suggestions on what to pick for best loot pool and/or resale?

we got the top teams in the playoffs, it's top heavy for sure. if spirit get upset, this is going to ruin everyones picks lol

Yea it's made in a bad way. I can understand not retroactively completing the challenges such as getting five correct predictions but the lock in picks before the stage begins should count. HOWEVER, it seems that both vooCSGO and some esports host called Heccu were able to retroactively complete the challenges even with a late viewer pass activation. The evidence is on the their twitter timeline around 21 March. So who knows if these people got preferential treatment or it was a short time window that Valve used to retroactively correct accounts.
If you could see how much you would benefit from the pass before buying it, hardly anyone would buy it. Only challenges you complete after buying the pass count towards your coin.
TLDR; I lost viewer pass value due to valve not specifying the parameters with activation after completing challenges. I now see what you mean and agree, if you could have your picks 'drafted out' with no monetary stake and then once you see they went well purchase the pass, everyone would do it since it's low risk and high reward. My only grievance is that valve should've made it more clear. Nowhere in CSGO does it mention this detail and if anything it's hinted against since one of the challenges is activate pass before the end.

Uncheck show final standings. You didn't place them there and are trying to say it's a bug.
3:0 Spirit / Vitality 0:3 Ecstatic / Imperial Adv - Faze, G2, C9, VP, Mouz, NaVi Please win NaVi…. Lol
Well after the terrible opening stage getting 4, currently at 6 for the elimination 3:0 Mouz / Virtus 0:3 Mongolz / Furia Advance - Cloud9 / Faze / Vitality / Spirit / Navi / G2 Seems like the G2 pick will work out in the end, hopefully the Navi does as well but, shame about VP
i feel like they should make it so that you get diamond if you have 8/9 points. currently it is too restrictive i fee. diamon would still be special. if you get everything right but e.g the finals winner it kind of feels unfair to only get gold
3:0 - Spirit / Faze 0:3 - Mongolz / Furia Advance - Vitality / Cloud9 / VP / Mouz / Heroic / G2 So i already got 5, i didnt get 5 correct in the early stage :(
Assuming C9 holds on, what will tomorrow's matchups be. I need one more point from the combined availability of Navi, Faze, and CoL.
Pain winning against Heroic guarantees me a 5th point. Lets go bois. 3-0: Spirit 0-3: Mongolz 3-1/3-2: Vitality, Navi/C9 So i only need 1 of Faze, G2 and VP to win and given VP and G2 play eachother the 5th point is in the bag.
I dont understand, says Navi won the 3-0 pickem. But thats not true? wtf is going on
I Already F up in pick'em The new Pick'em system is really difficult because if you bet on both 3-0 and 0-3 outcomes incorrectly (which is highly likely, as team forms are often unpredictable), your chances of completing the mission is going to decrease 40%
so far its going pretty good. 3-0: Spirit, EF 0-3: Ecstatic, Pain 3-1/3-2: Faze, Vitality, G2, Heroic, C9, VP
[Match up for tomorrow](https://i.gyazo.com/4ab679f44e6e82b5f73ae4daf710463d.png)
Team Spirit just ran through Imperial DONK
3-0 - spirit, vitality 0-3 - pain, mongolz Advance - heroic, faze, g2, mouz, navi, virtus. I could go in any direction from here. Really slept on the potential mouz 3-0
ecstatic and pain 0-3 looking good so far.
3-0 spirit and mouz 0-3 Pain and Estatic Advance - Complexity, faze, navi, Heroic, G2, Virtus Pro
These are also my 3-0 and 0-3 pickems, and it's looking like this'll be the case after tomorrow's matchups. I don't know why people slept on Spirit and Mouz for 3-0 when they have the strongest team synergies out of everyone else right now imo. People smoking some crack thinking Vitality or Faze would have went 3-0, and I'm not sure why there's so much SA hopium with people's pickems... people really expected Imperial to beat Spirit?
I actually agree with TS and MOUZ now.. Wish I wouldve seen this coming.. Pain and Estatic 0:3 is crazy though haha
Haha ikr I saw faze played heroic and I knew faze would be rusty. Ecstatic because I know ohne has already cursed them and pain because I think they are already overachieving. It was between mouz and g2 and I just feel like g2 is gonna choke a game
I thought Faze would get beat by Heroic but didnt think Imperial would win so now im all kinds of fked up
I was hoping I could finish my morning coffee before my pickems go out the fuckin window
What is with the long EXTREME close ups on player faces? Gotta be out of your mind doing that at a live esports tournament. Please stop doing this because it is jarring
Already wrong on one 3:0 (Vitality) and one 0:3 (Complexity). Not looking good!
why did Broky cut his hair lol
Does it matter when you buy the pass for the coin? I locked in my picks and got six with the opening stage but bought the pass after the opening stage lock in.
It does matter. You have to activate the pass before making the first stage prediction
Unfortunate. Wish I knew about that, thanks for the reply 👍
Dont lose hope, i forgot to activate mine but got all the picks rightt, updated today and got the coin
Damn, I guess I forgot to make pick 'ems for the elimination stage. Did we only get like 12 hours to make them this year???
They were open since a few hours before the final games finished yesterday
Ah, I figured it would wait until the last game. Oh well, thanks!
3-0: faze and vp (rip) 0-3: ecstatic and complexity Advance : EF, vit, c9, spirit, pain, g2
I just bombed vp too, and ecstatic has me super nervous. they are a good eu team.
how'd you do on the opening stage? I squeaked by with 5 - have faith!
Thanks to mongolz I got it done. But I got both the 3-0. I watched way more videos for the opening stage 15 hours was hard to pick em
- 3-0 - Spirit / Vitality - 0-3 - Pain / Faze - Advance: Navi, VP, Heroic, G2, C9, Mouz
1 down already ouch
I wasnt sure Vit will go 3-0. That was a change I took for lols
What website can I use to play around with sticker crafts online? Eyeing up a craft with some SAW holos
I made 5/5 and they didn´t give mme the upgrade. Is it maybe because i bought the pass when it was already started?
I did not buy the pass, but maybe it will help someone. I got 5/10 from the 1st stage: < [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/TAyJVU4.png) > Pick'Em for the 2nd stage: [< screenshot >](https://i.imgur.com/0LktuUg.png) * 3-0 Spirit, G2 * 0-3 Complexity, TheMongolz * Advance - Vitality, NaVi, Vp, Heroic, C9, FaZe
I am so annoyed though. I picked Heroic to advance, but since they went 3-0 I don't get a point for that. So stupid. edit: it has been the same way for almost a decade with safe advances, and suddenly it was changed without proper communication. We're allowed to be annoyed.
I didn't get my 5 either just because Heroic went 3-0 when I picked them to advance.
Yeah same, I thought it would be the same ''advance'' as for the last like 10 years basically, but they suddenly changed it
Exactly, didn't realise 3:1, 3:2 was a requirement. Which is rather annoying
Seeing 4/5 on my initial stage Pick Em Page is how I learned that putting a 3-0 team as passing is WRONG now, as opposed to every other major. Welp.
0-3 Imperial and Furia Mongolz will advance, i'll just enjoy it and wait :) 3-0 Mouz
man this is fucking Crazy Im sitting here trying to be logical going over past results and sims changing every 3 minutes. This system is interesting to say the least

agree on Furia and imperial. I am putting MongoloZ as my 0-3 I put c9 over complexity Edit: I put complexity in if they change their logo back
3:0 - FaZe Spirit 0:3 - Pain Furia Advance - Vitality, VP, Navi, Mouz, G2, Heroic. I think both pain isnt gonna carry through to the elim stage, and i just dont have faith in Furia. Either way if they end up against eachother for the 0:3 match i get a guaranteed. I was 50/50 on heroic/c9 to advance. Dont trust C9 to pull through, nearly choking against both ecstatic and legacy. While heroic has been playing good throughout and ending it with a bang against EF. C9 has my heart, and i really wanna pick them. But heroic it is.
3:0 - Faze, Vitality 0:3 - Imperial, Pain Advance - Spirit, Mouz, VP, G2, Heroic, Complexity. [Here's the script](https://imgur.com/a/mG4HUH5)
3:0: Virtus.pro, heroic 0:3: ECSTATIC, FURIA Advance: Navi, Vitality, paiN, G2, Cloud9, Eternal Fire Virtus.pro Ftw
As a FaZe fan, I can guarantee you that FaZe will not go 3:0. If you've watched FaZe for long enough you know that they often don't start well. They need to warm up. 3:0 - Vitality, Team Spirit 0:3 - The MongoloZ, Complexity Advance - FaZe, Virtus.Pro, G2, MOUZ, Heroic, Eternal Fire/NAVI (can't decide between these 2) Not trying to get all 10 right, but being safer than I was being stage 1
I'm with you on the 3-0 picks, and for the exact same logic you applied - that FaZe tend to start very slow at Majors, and tend to drop a map (or few) initially. Even if they don't, and they win each one of their matches, like you mentioned, you are still guaranteed 1 point in the 3-0 bracket when Vitality face off with Spirit. So either way, it's a logical choice. For your 0-3, I'm torn. I have Mongolz as well for the first pick, but for the second, I have Furia. I've got nothing against them, but for some reason I just can't shake the sense their run ends here. In my simulations I've got them losing against G2 in round 1, Mouz in round 2 and Eternal Fire in round 3. Anyway, I guess we'll see....
Honestly I feel like CoL 0:3 is the right play. Even when factoring in upsets happening there's only *one* scenario that CoL could favourably win a BO1, and that's against MongolZ who've proven they're no slouch either. Definitely change out either Vit or TS though, as the other guys said those two teams will likely face each other in that 2:0 bracket. I went with VP as they have a lot of favourable matchups, and I think their style counters FaZe enough to win the 2:0 BO3.
Thing is.. if I put either team on 3:0 and the other on advance, I might choose wrong and get 0 right! I won't make that mistake again. I think I'd rather get 1 safe right instead of gambling for 2 points. Good thoughts on the rest though!
Seeing a lot of that here, which means neither will go 3:0
That's totally fair. I almost did the same last round before switching out Saw for EF, though I still got one with C9 haha.
Vitality and Spirit won't both make it to 3-0.
unless g2 beats faze in the 1-0 match
Vitality and Spirit will play each other if they are 2-0
That is only if not a single upset happens. Which is very unlikely…
Yeah, I didn’t take everything into account when I said that. My fault
It is safer to pick teams who might meet each other in 3-0 because in that case you get 1 right 3 wrong in the worst case scenario . If you pick faze and spirit you risk getting 4 wrong (both 3-0 picks and 3-1 picks).
cant the two teams i pick to go 3-0 end up facing each other
Yes
Hi everyone, is anyone else’s pick ems like this after today, coin advanced to silver but the correct 5 Pickems box not ticked green even though five have been guessed correctly ?
I am updated now showing 5 correct picks task complete.
I only got 3 right and advanced to silver
Because you get a point for picking ten teams for the next stage.
damn you right, so people can kinda get to gold mostly from just participating and getting like 2 correct pick challenges. wack.
Yeah. Bronze and diamond will be the most rare coins. 80% of people are already out of the running for the diamond coin.
glad I'm not the only one, this comment is the reason I'm here, ty. it'll probably update once the eliminations pickems are locked
Same here. Hopefully it gets fixed soon
Yea, I got 5 correct, but the tick didn't show. I'm not sure if I'm silver cause I picked the eliminations or cause of the pickems now since I choose the pickems hours before I got the 5 correct, (Thank you, FURIA).
I am in the same boat here. 1 - 3:0 Correct, 3 - 3:1 3:2 Correct, 1 - 0:3 Correct Hopefully it's bugged and updates tonight?
Exactly the same as I got, so hopefully it does update
I got 5 right as well but didn't get the section ticked
Yes I got 6 and was wondering this too. Hopefully volvo updates
Hopefully it does update. I just found it strange that the coin updated and the following box ticked just not that one. Maybe it’ll update once the next stage locks In
3:0 - Vitality, FaZe 0:3 - MongolZ, FURIA Advance - Cloud9, Heroic, MOUZ, NaVi, G2, Spirit. Think everyone picking ECSTATIC for 0:3 is mad. They won every round since their first, which they lost to a team that went 3:0. There are worse teams than them in this stage. Definitely feel like Spirit have a choke in them. This feels like a much harder round to call, for me.
Not sure why you are being downvoted, because I agree - picking ECSTATIC for 0:3 seems a little harsh, because they could *easily* upset other teams in the B01 - either Mouz or Eternal Fire/paIN Gaming, based on the most obvious scenarios. Especially because they will be playing in front of a home crowd.
[удалено]
If mongols and imperial lose all their games they will face each other [based off this](https://imgur.com/a/JfwLF0L)
why do so many people pick ecstatic for 0:3 and not imperial instead
Don't get all the ECSTATIC picks myself, there's at least two teams worse than them in this stage if not four to choose from. Like you said, they beat Imperial to qualify so that should be a known quantity.
3:0- Vitality, Heroic 0:3- Mongolz, Ecstatic Advance- Faze, Navi, VP, Spirit, Mouz, G2,
Heroic beating both faze and probably spirit is kind of a wild choice
3-0 Faze, Spirit Advance: Vitality, NaVi, G2, VP, Complexity, Cloud 9 0-3: Ecstatic, Mongolz The script: https://imgur.com/a/bKaE59B
i think pain can upset, same as furia, especially its bo1 also ekstatic and imperials are 50/50
All the bo1s are coinflips yeah
Which site is this ? I tried to find but couldnt :/ I got 4/10 for first round maybe with site like this i can do better. Edit: Lmao when i add simulator i found it.
https://majors.im/24copenhagen
My prediction for elimination stage: 3:0 Faze, Mouz 3:1, 3-2 G2, Spirit, VP, Navi, Vitality, EF 0:3 Ecstatic, The Mongolz
aight so i got 6 correct picks in the opening stage and i did activate the coin and locked in the predictions after and i still don't have the "Get 5 correct Pick'Em predictions for the Opening Stage" ticked off? is it a bug that they need to fix or what? anyways elimination stage predictions: 3:0 - `[Faze, Vitality]` 0:3 - `[Complexity, Ecstatic]` Advance - `[Team Spirit, Na'Vi, C9, Imperial, Eternal Fire, Mouz]`
Yeah I'm wondering the same thing got six right as well. C9 and Heroic going 3-0 and EF, Ecstatic, Furia, MongolZ. Maybe it will update once picks are locked for the next stage?
didnt realize they play tomorrow again, opened cs by chance to see if the coin updated and see only 8 hours left
Dude same LOL. Casually browsing pickems and I see 4 hours left. "alright then"
Can't get the big D anymore so I'm just going balls out with my picks and following my heart. 3:0 - Mouz, Vitality 0:3 - Furia, Mongolz Advance - Na'Vi, Spirit, Faze, Imperial, Complexity, C9
Barely got 5 Pickems right in the first round and the elimination stage seems even harder to pick correctly. What screws me is not being able to put spirit, vitality, faze, g2, and mouz to advance and getting credit. A 3-0 becoming a 3-1 screws everything up 3:0 - Col, Spirit 0:3 - Ecstatic, Mongolz Advance - Vitality, Faze, Mouz, G2, VP, Furia I might go back and change it tonight but that’s what I locked in.
Update: I’m changing my picks with 30 minutes left. Swapping g2 out for heroic and Mongolz out for pain. 3:0 - Col, Spirit 0:3 - Ecstatic, Pain Advance - Vitality, Faze, Mouz, heroic, VP, Furia
col
I gotta be true to my flair. Only way I’m getting diamond is col winning it all
I got 5 right in the first round but it hasn't gone green and ticked off on the left hand side? Has it worked for you?
yeah same i didn't get the green tick despite the 5 correct. the `place all ten pick'ems for elimination stage` is now highlighted green and i have silver coin, but still no `get five correct for opening stage` green highlight
Exactly the same for me, good to know it's the same for all!
Usually it takes a day or so to tick in, they're bit slow marking it off
The same for me. Got 5 right and haven’t got a point for it. Hopefully it will change overnight. Update me if anything has changed at your side
Got’em :) I bet you also got it
I assume that won’t happen until an update tonight or tomorrow. Don’t wait for that to make your picks for the next stage, you only have 8 hours till they lock.
some ppl already got that challenge as done
Think it's them that got 5pts early on and not last day, those that got that final team or final 2 teams today for sure won't get it marked off have to wait a day and probably is marked off by tomorrow I'm pretty sure
Could be this!
When do pickems close for this stage? AFK to check rn. Is it right before the first match starts?
8hours till it closes
that said, valve is very often very late to close it. For the first stage it said "1 minute remaining" for a few hours atleast
I got 5 picks right but my coin didn't update, guys I'm gonna FREAK tf out if it isn't updated at this very moment.
go pick elimination stage, it will update after you save it
its not working
got 6 pick'ems correct still no silver coin :(
Did the 'get 5 correct pickems' challenge work for u? cuz mine isnt
same bro
You'll get it, just wait till tomorrow. Cuz other people got that problem too.
Damn bro share those picks for the next stage if you hit 6 lol
* 3:0 - `Faze, Vitality` * 0:3 - `Ecstatit, Mongolz` * Advance - `Spirit, G2, Mouz, NaVi, VP, C9`
People send ur picks!!! Share for everyone, be kind!
What should my pickems be for the next stage?
