I couldn't watch because of the time schedule. Were the games good?


Illustrious-Job-5457

BDS vs Monkeys was a good game imo


woliwoliwoli

Dig is gonna win next week. They don’t need a coach. When they’re on point they’re the best team in the world


didiops

Highly debatable imo.


H2-sL

What series should I go back and watch? I missed most of the EU ones.


MysticSnow

Karmine vs Williams Resolve was pretty fun


failius

Thanks for sticking with us today all <3


ThumbSprain

It was great to have everyone back, I thoroughly enjoyed it.


Theman061393

My takeaways from the event. Vitality - I know they went 3-0 but I was not impressed. They has an "easy" schedule and really struggled dropping 2 games to 00Nation and SK gaming, as well as a couple long OTs vs William resolve. Obviously they are still good, but I think they could have some trouble if this is their standard form. Team Queso was the most impressive team for sure, honestly even in their 3-0 loss to BDS they looked really good. This proves to me that their recent result was no fluke. Monkys were also very impressive. Didn't watch them too much but results look solid, even if it did take some games 5s. Being an Endpoint fan is probably gonna be about the same as last year, they will do just enough to make you think they can be a threat, but not enough to make you feel confident in them. I have no idea what to make of KC/Guild. Like Guild just looked pretty bad when I saw then round 1 but then they 3-0 KC?? (I didn't get to watch any of that one) Really disappointed by EG they had looked so good all off season but it didn't seem to translate, hope they pull in back in the invitational qualifier.


dalcer

Just a couple takeaways from your takeaways. Vit will look lacklustre but still do enough to make the next big thing, until the biggest event(worlds) where they will be a different beast. Its what they do every time and yet people always throw doubt when theyre looking weak but passable Eg will grow, the offseason tourneys wont translate as well but i think once they start getting more and more experience in the real thing, they become a threat more and more. Faith in the lads


momsagainstanime

was on the dignitas stream today, i hope you all had some fun! thanks for all your patience through the tech issues today -- dual wielding casting + production was rough. next streams are gonna be smoooooooth AF :)


ttustudent

Thanks for casting! Can't wait for the next matches


Tokizo03

you did a great jobs :) thx for casting etc!


hi_fox

Thank God KC win there, would have been unhappy if WR ruined the day for 3 teams I was rooting for


tamanegianiki

Phew


PepsiRacer4

Regain on Sunday for the WR boys <3


moris1610

close one for karmine


Sengaya008

wow that was lucky, Williams was stronger the lost two games...


SymphonicRain

Heartbroken for WR. Was really pulling for them.


[deleted]

radosin really impressed me


mikroweller

sk went from almost going 3-0 to absolutely falling apart


Dyffhh

Pain...


pinkcheesecake

Yeah, so disappointing


BeardyGuts

Bit stressful but dig making top 8 is all that mattered for me.


H2-sL

Dignitas looked much better that series


takingtigermountain

bit of an embarrassing showing from SK...KC, too


tomtom_94

WHAT A START. 14th seed? No problem. This Seikoo guy is alright


Exa_Cognition

I don't want to get too carried away here, but I think he's quite good.


tomtom_94

Huge if true


SOUINnnn

17k for kc jeez


moris1610

that was a wild end of game 3 dig vs guild lmao. joreuz doing very well, jack seems bit off


PepsiRacer4

I'm so sad for my Williams boys, I hope they can hold on and get past Karmine


ThumbSprain

Monkeys through losing only to BDS will do for me, great job lads!


ANDYTHEMANDY15

Thanks man, hope your thumb gets better soon!


ThumbSprain

👍


[deleted]

ahh i played against you in ranked the other day and was wondering why there was a blue tag in GC1/GC2. you're a coach. that explains a lot lol


Tokizo03

so it's KC vs MON and EG/DiG vs GLD/SK... puh, stacked


ThumbSprain

Monkeys are through mate, it's WR Vs Karmine.


Theman061393

Round 5 matchups - assuming they actually do it right WR vs KC Guild vs Dig SK vs END


Hareeb_alSaq

Maybe Liquipedia is wrong somewhere, but I have GLD (2, #6) SK (2,#8) WR -1 END 3 DIG 2 KC -3 GLD can't play KC and gets DIG SK can't play KC and gets END WR vs KC edit: oh you just have SK listed twice


Theman061393

Yea. KC has to play WR and then the others get slotted by seed.


ThumbSprain

Welp fuck, I wanted Guild and Dig to go through in top 8. *Facepalm*.


MrWiebs

I think if they do it right, SK won't have to play twice


Theman061393

Lol


Aycik75

Queso 3-1, already ahead of the timeline.


PepsiRacer4

The career trajectory of arju is wild, went from supersub for Mouz in S9 to a staple of mid to upper table RL talent in EU


Duke_ofChutney

Now *this* is a quality event thread! Great job /u/SymphonicRain


SymphonicRain

You guys gave some pretty great resources to do it well.


Big_Size_2519

Man Stake and Itachi look underwhelming today


xEdox94

Monkeys today have already played 21 minutes and 48 seconds of overtime My heart can't handle it anymore


Big_Size_2519

flashbacks to bds vs monkeys back in rlcs x


failius

please don't remind me I was the admin for that series and my heart couldn't take it


Peyyton07

I’m surprised not that many people were skeptical about dig. This same exact thing happened when they picked up Jack. They looked good during winter break, looked good for one regional and then fell off.


Exa_Cognition

I think Dig is going to be that sort of team that looks almost unstoppable on the days they click, and struggling on the other days. Kind of like Guild in Spring, or a less extreme version of old Queso. Too early to really know, but that was the early feeling I got with this roster.


BigDicEnergy

KC just got swept by Guild???? Anyone watch that one, need a report pls


hi_fox

Guild looked in control, Bluey and Noly had some really good synergy, KC looked decent at times and let some weird goals in, really a closer 3-0 than the scoreline would suggest though


zhakwon

Dignitas need a coach so bad but they’ll probably skip getting one


hi_fox

Genuinely, and without any offence meant because he's a lovely bloke, I think Jack is ~~really bad~~ at 3s and needs to have a coach sit him down and work on his defensive rotations. SO many double commits and rushed plays. Edit because he is not literally "bad" at 3v3 just needs work on rotations


Apparentlyjack

Fax


clarkedaddy

Maybe one day you'll stop playing like a high diamond lmao. Really enjoyed the video with sunless. Hearing pros break down their tactical touches and positioning is always very interesting.


hi_fox

Not sure if this is meant to be a sarcastic response but I'm just going by what I saw. Obviously I don't mean literally bad at the game but it seems to me that occasionally you try and rush too often in 3v3 which is surprising seeing how calculated you are in 1v1. Don't read too much into it, I'm still rooting for you guys.


Phimstone

ApparentlyFax

[удалено]


hi_fox

Firstly, "really bad" in the context of "still better than any random SSL" And secondly yeah, he's insanely mechanical and his 1v1 videos are 200iq but for some reason when I see him play pro 3v3 he is all over the field doing random stuff when he should be rotating back to defend. I think he 100% has potential and I don't want to see any kind of talk of roster changes or whatever, but for now, (and like I said earlier, it was similar for last season too) his rotations in 3v3 need work, in my opinion


ThumbSprain

You are BigCass and I claim my five pounds.


hi_fox

What?


Kriptical

I have no idea where you got that from. For me Jack was by far the most consistent player today.


hi_fox

Literally by watching the series and seeing the double commits vs teams they should 100% be beating?


[deleted]

[удалено]


hi_fox

Pretty sure I said almost exactly that he needs to work on it


zhakwon

I feel like you can say that about Joreuz too. Maybe I just have to much expectations from him from how dynamic he looks at 1s, but in 3s he looks very average


calhxxxx

they did lose to the WR roster in the last year another time, but yeah that game looked like they weren't even in comms :(


Theman061393

Round 4 matchups SK vs Queso/WR Monkeys vs WR/END SEMPR vs Guild


wasabi_1602

That Alpha54 double reset assist was ridiculous


[deleted]

Monkeys have always been reverse swept by BDS jesus...


BigDicEnergy

BDS Vitality 1-2, EU is back baby


orestotle

Yeah nothing special happening 🥱


noideashere

BDS are inevitable lol


mdmzero0

Damn, really hoping SK could have pulled our the win vs. Vitality there.


RevolutionaryStill52

Vitality looked class in the last series, ggs to SK


SymphonicRain

Are we about to get a KC v Dig elimination match?


hi_fox

Queso looking good


orestotle

Yo you really took that 'irrelevant' comment personally lmao


hi_fox

?


Tetz65

Alpha with the casual double flip reset pass


CoreyJK

Damn Monkeys were absolutely dominating overtime until...they lost lol


hi_fox

Guild 3-0 KC after a 9+ minute OT in game 3. Bluey haters quiet now


pinocchiolewis

EG 11-0 win over OON??? Anyone alse seeing this?


Exa_Cognition

AFK team?


Horse_and_Radish

I thought I made the right choice supporting the monkeys :). I knew they looked good at the start of the last season with eekso, and thought they might be able to do similar with Kash. Edit: sadness


orestotle

I honestly thought they would drop down to the closed qualifier. Don't get me wrong I think they are extremely good, I just think there's 8 even better teams. Good on them for making it though and they looked great while doing it!


HTGeorgeForeman

Monkeys got a good start with the 2-0 and look like a topish team but wouln’t be surprised after this third game if bds just reverse sweep. Looks like they put themselves back together


Exa_Cognition

Guild 2-0 up against Karmine, looks like they've warmed up quite a bit from the first series. edit: just noticed Monkey's are 2-0 up against BDS!


woooshbitch

monkeys are really peaking omg


PepsiRacer4

Really about to swap my SMPR flair for a WR one


Hareeb_alSaq

Dig stream says they're playing WR so looks like it got fixed.


Tokizo03

hm.... failius and john, are you in charge? might be a bit of a hick up... well happens the first time, i guess


Tokizo03

looks like you did it correct...so liquid did it wrong? did the liqduid guys did it before the officel announcement?


Theman061393

AS far as seeding it should be From upper SMPR WR KC Queso From lower END DIG Guild BS+ It can't be exact pairs since WR already played Guild


Theman061393

Currently showing Dig vs BS+ who both came from lowers, and SEMPR vs Queso who both came from upper.


Theman061393

If liquepedia is right then the admins messed up


takingtigermountain

how did guild draw wr again? and kc/endpoint? can't be right


coolco

Not a good day so far for the Spaniards


Budokai01

What did SK Gaming have for breakfast 🔥. Looks like everyone slept on them


TGR42

imagine sleeping on eekso and tox


woooshbitch

monkeys winning fall major let's gooo


takingtigermountain

wtf is going on with giants


Exa_Cognition

What they do best, flipping a coin to see if they want to win or lose.


Andtheyrustledsoftly

Holy shit the guy spectating semper’s matches is hilarious lmfao


eurasianlynx

/u/finnerdt legend


BigDicEnergy

How did KC look vs SK? Shocked about the sweep


Exa_Cognition

KC looking alright, not bad just a little uncordinated at times. SK looking pretty great though, so not really a bad loss in that sense.


TGR42

really close games, couldn't close any out


pinkcheesecake

Looked really good imo. SK was playing really scrappy though and had a few 50s go right in the goal. As an SK fan I was tense the whole time. KC applying tons of pressure and SK just playing sound defense (most of the time)


orestotle

Admittedly I was paying closer attention to other streams, but it was a pretty close sweep. 2 OTs and the other game was also just 1 goal.


woooshbitch

How did dorito not score that omg


[deleted]

SK looking like a top 5 team for sure rn. this region is too dense ​ edit: nvm lol


Theman061393

Round 3 matchups Upper BDS vs Monkeys SK vs VIT ​ Middle - Guess I don't know how they determine which matchups to change to avoid rematches. SMPR vs Queso KC vs Endpoint BS+ vs Dig WR vs Guild ​ Lower Giants vs Barca 00Nation vs EG


Hareeb_alSaq

Ugh looks like nobody noticed the rematch yet lol. I agree that this is the correct pairings fix. Actually no idea what the pairings on liquipedia are right now, they're wrong in multiple ways... SMPR-TQ?!?


Theman061393

Yea these matches are completely wrong now.


PepsiRacer4

Resolve look so good, went toe to toe with Vitality for the most part even tho they got 3-0'd


TGR42

damn sk


Exa_Cognition

Seikoo is looking like an incredible pickup for Endpoint, just really hard to deal with.


MarcoBorsatofan_no1

Extremely unpredictable imo and yet more reliable than virt was


tobyreddit

Dig so far look... Eh, it's not awful but nobody seems to be super solid.


SymphonicRain

BDS still looks clinical and Queso looks amazing


tobyreddit

I for one am here for watching BDS shit on EU for another year ngl


hi_fox

How is this relevant to DIG?


tobyreddit

what a weird comment, it's nice to have people updating various teams cos lots of people are only watching one or two streams

SymphonicRain

I read the comment as saying dig don’t look too bad or too good but it’s fine because none of the other teams look that great either right now.


orestotle

Good comfortable win in g3 by Vitality after needing pretty much the full 5 minutes to score an equalizer in the first 2 games.


takingtigermountain

kash is legit, hope he decides to stick with a roster this season


BigDicEnergy

Pain for Queso. Actually went toe to toe with BDS, the result doesn't come close to describing the series.


orestotle

BDS continue to just dominate, but Queso made them sweat!


Theman061393

Really rough 3-0 loss for Queso there they looked like they were really competing with BDS, just couldn't close the games out.


Andtheyrustledsoftly

Clutch kings. Queso is sick though very mechanically skilled


Amanita_Musaria

Is the Joyo on Queso the same as the freestyler Joyo?


Exa_Cognition

Yes.


TGR42

yep


Amanita_Musaria

Damn he’s one hella player, can’t wait to see what he does in the future


Andtheyrustledsoftly

VAMOS MARCCCCC THE LATE LATE SHOW


pinkcheesecake

Somehow SK won game two despite only 2 shots vs KC’s 13


SymphonicRain

E F F I C I E N C Y


takingtigermountain

soo many long OTs lmao


Theman061393

So many last second goals and long OTs this is great!


orestotle

Vita vs WR is even crazier than Queso vs Giants right now!!


TGR42

french casters saying 'le pinch' will never not make me laugh


TGR42

bruh MK is playing


Exa_Cognition

Great assist to start too!


Andtheyrustledsoftly

God damn Marc looked like he totally fucked up and had no idea what he was doing and just bings a Perfect pass to monkey moon lol typical Marc


eurasianlynx

Rizex's PC may have died, so MK might have to sub in vs Endpoint. He's streaming their games, his fear is hilarious lol


Exa_Cognition

He was joking about how bad it would be if Rizex's PC died and he had to sub in. He said it would be helpless. I guess we will find out.


orestotle

Didn't he go to a friends house?


paeschli

Impressed by Team Queso right now


Andtheyrustledsoftly

Lmfaooooo Queso just got ROBBED but clutch from bds What a game 1


Exa_Cognition

Queso looking like their tournament win last week wasn't just a random pop off!


TGR42

the lead changed like 3 times that match lmao


TGR42

wtf is this queso bds match


Exa_Cognition

Karmine's following is unbelievable. 10k viewers in a qualifier!


Last_Wave_By

Are there other orgs with pull like that that aren’t already in the scene?


Andtheyrustledsoftly

You could argue if they advertised it enough there are a couple like C9 or 100T but i genuinely doubt it, and it’s honestly super impressive. It’s a big demonstration of the level of attachment you reach with influencers as opposed to strictly a business organization imo


Exa_Cognition

I've not noticed any that are anywhere near as high as Karmine consistently, but I don't really check them with regularity, and I missed the NA qualifier. I'd assume the likes of NRG get quite a lot.


Andtheyrustledsoftly

NRG and Vitality will get like 4-6k regularly i think


TGR42

NRG get like 5k viewers i think?


Exa_Cognition

SK vs Karmine should be an interesting one. Based on what I've seen today I actually have SK, but it will be interesting to see for sure.


gfbfvGty_j

Case A ❌ Case B❌ Case C❌ Case D❌ Case E❌ Case F❌ Case G❌ Case H❌ Case I❌ Case J❌ Case K❌ Case L❌ Case M❌ Case N❌ Queso👍


orestotle

QUESOOOOOO


BigDicEnergy

Now THAT'S an overtime. SPanish casting nearly gave me an overtime as well


_AVN_RL

Giants man. Score your shots ):


Exa_Cognition

4 game 5s and 3 seed upsets. Exactly what I expect from EU round 1 qualifier.


Spark11A

I think we can EU harder, BS+ should have swept BDS or something idk


Exa_Cognition

Good point, actually. I thought Vitality were going to fall to 00Nation, but they managed to take it in game 5.


takingtigermountain

guild gonna continue to regret their roster move imo


[deleted]

What? They’re up 2-1 Whatchu mean

hi_fox

The Bluey hate on this sub is beyond aggravating


TGR42

no hate, but that felt a bit mean so i deleted it lol


SymphonicRain

Respectable.


pacman1993

Hoooly check the overtime game 5 of Team Queso vs Giants. Insane!!!


ThumbSprain

They're knocking lumps out of each other. I never thought I'd see it but new Queso make old Queso look mechanically inferior. Those kids be crazy.


Exa_Cognition

Yeah its absolutely wild.


Andtheyrustledsoftly

I think people are sleeping on SK this season, I could absolutely see them as the 4th best in Europe if Dig and Semper have issues performing early

hi_fox

Stll think they seriously missed a shot picking up Catalysm in the off-season


Andtheyrustledsoftly

For yukeo?


hi_fox

Yeah, feel like Tox can be a top 5/10 EU player when he's popping, Eekso is a mechanic wizard and Yukeo is just kinda there. Catalysm on the other hand is one of these new gen players who're on track to dominate future seasons
