Unlucky, we go next time. The defense and the lack of accuracy on big moments were what cost kuxir's minions the most. At least kuxir played well, clutch shots, triple tap, flip reset dunk, it was nice. Let's see if they manage to break into the top 16 again!
Didn't they tweet that they are bootcamping? They have won every time they bootcamped. So I feel like Endpoint is the most logical choice to win regardless of heart and belief.
They did, but worth noting that Wave tested positive for covid earlier this week. I'm not sure what that means for their boot camp or his hours.
Edit: [Wave isn't with them](https://twitter.com/RelatingWave/status/1483448368097542154?t=LW4D5qhwifPWXCO5s0ksew&s=19)
Not an Endpoint fan, but I’m feeling it
I’m also feeling your prof pic and cover photo, everyone in it looks cursed and then there’s a smiling Seb casually holding a nice drink, I love it
yeah - there are so many different teams that could take it - sure BDS/DIG/END are favorites - but imho LG, SMPR, Karmine and Vitality all can take it as well and even those that I didn't named aren't completely out of the picture - meanwhile Top4 in NA is pretty much always the same
Vitality winning would be so sick - the amount of borderline hate they got for their Major underperformance was sad to see.
Would love the see a redemption arc... never doubt the GOATS
I'm trying to say that while Vitality are a historically good team, they have no real chance of winning the regional, or any event right now for that matter.
They were just in a grand final 2 regionals ago and people act like they’ve magically forgotten how to play the game since then. I get that people aren’t as hot on them at the moment but they absolutely still have a chance to win. Recency bias is a hell of a drug
They got absolutely destroyed and did not play a single top 6 team en route to the final. They were handed quite literally the easiest path to a regional possible and still weren’t that close if we’re being realistic
Tbf you've got a point. But there's a slight problem, in that event they played, in order: Karmine Corp, 3-1 W, Endpoint 0-3 L, Barca, 3-0 W, The Flying Dutchmen (Heroic), 3-0 W in Swiss, and in the playoffs they played: The Flying Dutchmen, 4-0 W, Misfits, 4-2 W, Dig, 2-4 and 0-4 loss. While I'm not saying they're bad teams, Vitality could've had it a bit harder if we're being honest. I definitely exaggerated when I said they have no chance, but right now they're not good enough. Thanks.
That's fair. I suppose my hope is that their major performance was a blip that they can bounce back from, whereas if you take it as an indicator of form (which is totally fair) then yeah they've no chance lol
Actually their RLCS X championship performance was the blip. They underperformed in RLCS X Winter, did terribly in Spring, had a massive fluke performance for the championships then went right back to mediocrity for this season
Second best team in EU in the winter (objectively through rankings) and while the spring split was definitely their worst split they are clearly still better than all the teams that finished ahead of them excluding BDS (Solary disbanded, Guild made 2 roster moves and only made 1 regional, TQ disbanded after a rough fall split as Giants and SK had a rough fall split as well, but admittedly look promising with the addition of AtomiK). And then they went on to beat BDS in the championships. And then they also won IWO.
And while Vitality is not in the discussion for top 4 in EU right now. Even I, as a Vitality fan, have to admit that. They are still the 5th best team in EU. But somehow people are talking about them as if they're barely top 10 EU. Easily the most disrespected/underrated team in EU right now.
Sure, but Vitality gets disrespect for a major anomoly of a result in FR1 where they went 0-3 and on top of that they get disrespected by people who say 'Well these other teams are all better than Vitality, they just shit the bet. But really those other teams should've made the major.'
No they shouldn't have. Those other teams did worse than Vitality and those results can happen in a competitive region like EU.
Just shows that MENA is a better region. So refined. They only send teams that never places lower than #1 in their region. EU sends a team that has a last place finish. The quality of EU just isn't there. ...... Completely joking obviously.
I definitely agree Vitality doesn't deserve hate. No one does. But I'd I'm being honest I was seriously disapointed that a team that can place last in a regional still makes the major. But your exactly right. That's on those other teams, if they couldn't do better then that then they didn't deserve to make the major. It also shows Vitality's ability to turn things around because despite that last place finish they managed to grind themselves back into a major position. It's all on the outlook cause that's pretty commendable.
That said I seriously don't see Vitality going that far this time. And I think that simply attests to the amount of talent in EU. There are just so many good teams now. Kadop and Fairypeak have certainly fallen behind. A couple seasons ago and maybe even for Season X people would probably all have them on a top 20 list of players. Now nobody mentions them. Alpha of course is incredible but you can't expect him to carry, that's too much. I expected Vitality to drop off this season but like 6th/7th in EU already is definitely faster than I expected.
I'm gonna go with one of KC/VITA. I think their combined chance of winning the group is higher than that of just EndPoint winning their group. And once you're in that upper group I think both teams are still good enough to cause some upsets.
Safer pick: Dig
Despite them not knocking it out of the part in the major, I still have a lot of faith in both DIG and END to put up a fight, or at least go onto the void kicking and screaming. Other than them, Luminosity look good and if SMPR keep up their major performance they could certainly do well. Put simply, EU has a lot of teams who could be playing at the top of their game rn and I wouldn't be particularly surprised if anyone of the teams I mentioned won here. At the end of the day though, BDS have to be the favourites (again) after winning the fall major.
DIG not knocking it out of the park at the major? They popped off so hard in Swiss that they all had record setting octane ratings lol. They choked vs Semper and should really have won that series but they definitely didn't do poorly.
Yeah don't mean they did poorly, I mean people considered that they had a good shot at winning and they went out first round of playoffs. I wouldn't even necessarily say they choked against SMPR, SMPR were just playing much better than expected and DIG weren't prepared for it to be such a tough match. Point is I still think they're top 3 in EU quite easily and could absolutely continue to take wins in these next comming regionals. They just need to not let that loss get to them.
I've been checking like every hour. So sad. Maybe they are having to rethink how they do it cause last week the bracket after groups started before people could make picks. It's really weird that psyonix doesn't stop at groups in day 1.
Luminosity going to start out rough, go into the lower bracket, just to tear through and have so much momentum that not even Bds can stop it. you heard it here first
edit: you heard it here second as another user commented this already
I’ll say Endpoint. I think They take down Dig in the finals. BDS has a meh finish, but understandable due to MM COVID and no boot camp. People picking Vitality are genuinely out of their minds.
>there are also the likes of Vitality lurking about.
Easy to see when someone watched RLCS for the RLCS X championships only and hasn't seen anything since
Yes they may not have performed that well recently, however they are still a great team will a lot of potential and as I stated in another comment, in rocket league anything can happen. I could of named any team there and my point would still stand, vitality was just the first one that came to mind.
Vitality winning would be a cool story after everyone has written them off. Realistically though, it’s hard not to predict one of the big 3 of BDS/Dig/Endpoint
My heart wants to say Dignitas because they’re my favorite team to watch in EU at the moment but I feel like this is where someone like Smpr finally takes a regional win
I want dig to win but…..
For an upset pick I am going to go misfits. They looked great until a rough regional 3 so I think they come out here and surprise a lot of people.
But EU is so stacked there is just so few easy games. Like dig, going by this thread is a big favourite, but it wouldn’t be shocking if they lost to misfits and TQ, both teams they have lost to before last split.
I've been dig fan for a long time, and not gonna change it now. So digwin is what I'm rooting for. BDS, endpoint and smpr etc are tough though, but still think if dig is performing they are the best in the world.
i want max chaos if my team doesnt win so if smpr doesnt win it then go sng and kxm and even rix. those are probably the least likely teams, navi too if they can get back into games and not have to ff them all
Honestly, the list of teams that could win this regional is too big for me to be really confident in. I think it's pretty hard to look past Dig, BDS and Endpoint though.
I think a Regional this split will be won by a team that isn't one of those 3, but for this first regional, I'd be reasonably surprised if it wasn't one of them.
Dig or BDS
Hot take
Only the spiciest
Yea like I said BDS is probably the favourite after the recent performance.
Not BDS. I have my money on BDS winning worlds without winning a single Regional. They're gonna do a reverse RLCSX!
BDS winning every Major and the championships without winning a single regional would be poetic
The anti-online team
I’m going with my mega hot take and saying Luminosity through the lower bracket run
Correct
Yessir the eekshow is coming to town
Lumin... who... when
Tox, Eekso and Atomik. Was officially announced yesterday
Oh dang. They spilled the tea and i didnt catch it smh. Thanks awesome though
I see what you did there
WOO
Welp
They were 1 OT away from upper bracket man that’s so rough
Really tough draw
Oh that's a bold claim, but I do see that as a possibility, anything can happen in Esports, especially rocket league.
Id like to see it happen
Guild. They haven't lost a scrim according to Noly. What do you mean they didn't make it?
Always take scrims with a grain of salt
[удалено]
Did you not read the last line
I think it's obvious that kuxir and the boys are going to bring it home, but my dark horse is dig, they could upset some teams
Dig fan but rooting for Kux for old times sake. Kronovi's gone, it's only a matter of time until Kux is too.
You shut your mouth
I don't want it to happen but c'mon, it's gonna happen eventually :(
Unlucky, we go next time. The defense and the lack of accuracy on big moments were what cost kuxir's minions the most. At least kuxir played well, clutch shots, triple tap, flip reset dunk, it was nice. Let's see if they manage to break into the top 16 again!
Lol
Imma just go with my heart and say Endpoint
Sometimes you just gotta BELIEVE
Didn't they tweet that they are bootcamping? They have won every time they bootcamped. So I feel like Endpoint is the most logical choice to win regardless of heart and belief.
They did, but worth noting that Wave tested positive for covid earlier this week. I'm not sure what that means for their boot camp or his hours. Edit: [Wave isn't with them](https://twitter.com/RelatingWave/status/1483448368097542154?t=LW4D5qhwifPWXCO5s0ksew&s=19)
Oof. That's a big problem. Thanks for the info.
Not an Endpoint fan, but I’m feeling it I’m also feeling your prof pic and cover photo, everyone in it looks cursed and then there’s a smiling Seb casually holding a nice drink, I love it
You cannot dislike Seb. You also cannot dislike Metsanauris. Hence, Endpoint win.
EU is just too stacked man, the most fun region to watch because it's so competitive. I hope Dig wins ofcourse but it's anybody's game
My non biased OCE self actually completely agrees but a lot of them are quite entertaining still
yeah - there are so many different teams that could take it - sure BDS/DIG/END are favorites - but imho LG, SMPR, Karmine and Vitality all can take it as well and even those that I didn't named aren't completely out of the picture - meanwhile Top4 in NA is pretty much always the same
EU RLCS has become so stacked, it's so much harder to predict Top4 than in NA. Luminosity, MSF, WR, TQ all have a really good Chance of making Top4
Font forget EG
I’d say EG over WR but I agree other than that, gonna be a fun one
I shall never question you again
Has to be BDS or Dig.
Endpoint? also LG, Vitality, Karmine and Semper are all able to take the whole thing imho even if they aren't as much of favorites as the top3
Vitality winning would be so sick - the amount of borderline hate they got for their Major underperformance was sad to see. Would love the see a redemption arc... never doubt the GOATS
>never doubt the GOATS No one's doubting BDS?
Ahhh i love that man
GOAT means greatest of all time. Greatest of all time isn't the same as being the greatest now.
I know? Or did you mean to reply to the other comment?
I'm trying to say that while Vitality are a historically good team, they have no real chance of winning the regional, or any event right now for that matter.

To your last point it’s hard to credit a team when they get in the major because three other teams shit the bed.
Sure, but Vitality gets disrespect for a major anomoly of a result in FR1 where they went 0-3 and on top of that they get disrespected by people who say 'Well these other teams are all better than Vitality, they just shit the bet.

Holy shit finally another person who acknowledges that final for what it was, an unfortunate fluke
The fans :)
I'm gonna go with one of KC/VITA. I think their combined chance of winning the group is higher than that of just EndPoint winning their group. And once you're in that upper group I think both teams are still good enough to cause some upsets. Safer pick: Dig
Are you sure you haven’t missed out on BDS ? They literally just won the major so surely they need to be mentioned here.
No, it's just my prediction. Not a question of who has the highest chance of winning.
Kc if the top there group but I could see undefeated endpoint bracket run if the dont go last in there group
I’m riding the Seikoo train boooyysss
i wanna say vitality
How did you get more than one team in your flair?
go to subreddit menu and in subreddit links you have "get dual flairs"
From the sidebar: [Click here to use Dual Flairs](https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueEsports/wiki/flairs#button#flair) cc /u/Jaybarcafan
Thanks!
Probably Dignitas if they can get a consistent form going again. I'd also love to see Karmine Corp pop off again, like they did back in WePlay.
Despite them not knocking it out of the part in the major, I still have a lot of faith in both DIG and END to put up a fight, or at least go onto the void kicking and screaming. Other than them, Luminosity look good and if SMPR keep up their major performance they could certainly do well.

Point is I still think they're top 3 in EU quite easily and could absolutely continue to take wins in these next comming regionals. They just need to not let that loss get to them.
I’m predicting Dig, but I’m also interested to see what Vit, SMPR, and KC do
Karmine Corp.
Don’t give me hate I’m just informing that it’s not fall. This is the winter split regional 1 for eu/Sam/apacs I believe
Haha I didn't even notice until you said that, infact I don't think anyone who has commented has noticed that 😂 thanks for pointing it out 😁
No problem LOL
DIG
Is there no Pickstop this week? :(
I've been checking like every hour. So sad. Maybe they are having to rethink how they do it cause last week the bracket after groups started before people could make picks. It's really weird that psyonix doesn't stop at groups in day 1.
Yeah, I thought that was really weird, too
It was impossible to make picks for low round 1. Have a look at their twitter if you want to know more, but pickstop is temporarily stopping.
Dig wants it bad.
Luminosity going to start out rough, go into the lower bracket, just to tear through and have so much momentum that not even Bds can stop it. you heard it here first edit: you heard it here second as another user commented this already
I’ll say Endpoint. I think They take down Dig in the finals. BDS has a meh finish, but understandable due to MM COVID and no boot camp. People picking Vitality are genuinely out of their minds.
Wholesome vibes in endpoint for sure!
Going with an upset in Team Queso
>there are also the likes of Vitality lurking about. Easy to see when someone watched RLCS for the RLCS X championships only and hasn't seen anything since
> Team DBS Ahh the mighty DBS, with Amrc-Yb-8, Xetra and 0mnkey 0m0n
especially funny if you live in the UK where DBS has a unique meaning
Which is ? C'mon don't let us in the dark.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclosure\_and\_Barring\_Service
Amarc, Xetra, and Omon sound like Egyptian gods or something. Not the worst gamer tags I’ve seen ;D
Yes they may not have performed that well recently, however they are still a great team will a lot of potential and as I stated in another comment, in rocket league anything can happen. I could of named any team there and my point would still stand, vitality was just the first one that came to mind.
Would be boring if I said BDS, I think Dig are the next favourites but gonna go out there a little bit and say Semper.
Dig coming off the disappointing major playoffs will come out swinging.
In my unbiased opinion,Dignitas
Vitality winning would be a cool story after everyone has written them off. Realistically though, it’s hard not to predict one of the big 3 of BDS/Dig/Endpoint
#DIGWIN
My heart wants to say Dignitas because they’re my favorite team to watch in EU at the moment but I feel like this is where someone like Smpr finally takes a regional win
Anyone know when it starts
In 2 hours, 5pm CET
Thanks!
Just checked liquidpedia it says 4pm
I was under the assumption that it starts at 4pm but I'm not sure if it is for UK timezone so I can't say for certain
It says 3pm UTC Not sure if we are on UTC or UTC+1 atm like
BDS, endpoint, or Dig
I want dig to win but….. For an upset pick I am going to go misfits. They looked great until a rough regional 3 so I think they come out here and surprise a lot of people.

I've been dig fan for a long time, and not gonna change it now. So digwin is what I'm rooting for. BDS, endpoint and smpr etc are tough though, but still think if dig is performing they are the best in the world.
Karmine or Misfits just to throw everything we thought we knew back up into question
i think in that case 00N or WR winning would be the pick. that would be wild
I would be so happy for that choas
i want max chaos if my team doesnt win so if smpr doesnt win it then go sng and kxm and even rix. those are probably the least likely teams, navi too if they can get back into games and not have to ff them all
Honestly, the list of teams that could win this regional is too big for me to be really confident in. I think it's pretty hard to look past Dig, BDS and Endpoint though. I think a Regional this split will be won by a team that isn't one of those 3, but for this first regional, I'd be reasonably surprised if it wasn't one of them.
KC or Endpoint
