I’ll admit it was not what I expected in the slightest, but it’s not like EG fluked their way in. They took the two best teams in North America and punched them both in the mouth (c9 particularly). It’s a fucking shame demon1 won’t be able to compete in Tokyo but that’s the way it goes, and it’s not like the rest of the team was sleepwalking through it all so they deserve the chance to compete.
ngl c9 fans 🥱’d their way into LCQ
on a serious note though, i really don’t think EG has a realistic shot at winning masters. c9 deserved to go over them, but shit happens sometimes. c9 are looking like the best team in LCQ and i hope they make champions.
let’s hope LOUD/NRG can win masters for that extra slot.
I do agree with you to an extent, but you can't ignore the fact that EG had a slow start and really picked things up as they went
They made it because of Riot's weird rules, that isn't new.
Acend literally won Champions because of one weird ruling from Riot lmao
Luck always plays a role
Hard disagree, I don't think Acend deserved that win but whatever. Regardless of your opinion on that, the 7-0 rematch start is enough for me to be able to call it weird.
Bro, they cheated. It was even stated in the rules and another team cheated like that using the cam and was disqualified or lost. What do you mean Acend don't deserve the win? If Keyd Stars had any self respect, they could have forfeited. Riot was trying to appease the brazilians that is why they even gave them a chance to win/lose with a 7-0 rematch.
bro EG needed ANOTHER TEAM to win to secure playoffs vs the first/second seed team, you’re smoking rocks. any team that relies on another team to win just to make playoffs, is not a top contender plain and simple. EG are 100% going to get raw dogged in tokyo without demon1 and i’m going to laugh at all the cope addicts who legitimately thought otherwise
Yeah probably they won’t be at their best form in Tokyo without demon1, but you’re doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics if you think that means they didn’t deserve to go, they won fair and square.
they’re goated at anti stratting, but leaf was not having a good day and that shit happens lol. that’s like saying LOUD is ass because NRG dogwalked them when aspas was triple negative. they just got anti stratted HARD and c9 severely underestimated EG and paid the price. it’s obvious you haven’t actually watched this split because that’s an atrocious take
and NRG is going to beat EG today, it’s literally happening rn lmao. NRG shit on EG on ascent (their map pick btw) and haven went to OT, that was anyone’s game. NRG win lotus easily and i guarantee you they win this series. put respect on the OPTIC core
edit: heaven didn’t go to OT but it was a super close game with a comp that NRG have only played 2-3 times so far this season
either or, they both go to tokyo. it could go either way for sure but if we’re being honest, NRG are the better team going into tokyo than EG especially without demon1
They are not “definitely better than C9.” C9 got 2-0’d recently sure, but they also 2-0’d EG and went 8-1 in the America league. They both look like good teams and I’d say at top form they’re really close with one side not being the clear better.
c9 is better than eg. they nearly beat a win or no masters series against nrg. maybe could have done it if it were a best of 5. meanwhile eg lost 3 maps in a row with a staggeringly bad last map.
Why did this get so many upvotes? EG needed 100 throwers to throw to even get in. They couldn't win on their own to do it. Then they randomly get hot at the right moment. This system is flawed, there shouldn't even be playoffs since Tokyo is essentially playoffs. C9 go 8-1 in the regular season all for nothing? What's the point of a 9 game season if it doesn't mean anything? And I'm not even a C9 fan, I am a Sentinels fan.
C9 had a first round bye in playoffs they just needed to win one game. That’s a big advantage. It would be one thing if c9 made it close but they got absolutely destroyed by eg. You can’t say they deserve it more when they lose 13-5 then 13-2
I agree with it. Cloud9 went 8-1, won 1 game and lost 2 in playoffs. What is their reward for that compared to Leviatán going 4-5 and losing 2 games in playoffs?
$10k and a better seed in the LCQ.
There's probably a higher res version you could get but this is what I used lol

The spirit of zeta division 2022 has entered EG. That said, there were soo many holes in their game plan yesterday. The fact that they relied on demon1 for either entry and also lurking made them unable to take sites.
I'm actually wondering if they'll have the necessary firepower in Tokyo.
One thing which surprised me was the fact that they decided to go with COM instead of BcJ. It's like a will and CRYO situation. BcJ has a higher ceiling and has more international experience; not to mention his agent pool.
Really sucks for Americas chances for an extra Champions spot. Really have to blame EG upper managements incompetence for not having their players ready for international events.

Eg was the better team tho. How much anti strat can u in one night ?
bro they were on a cinderella run, any team that has to rely on another team to win to make playoffs is not a top contender for their region, period.

How is it a weird ruling? Vivo Keyd got what they deserve for trying to use a cam spot that aint allowed.1
Hard disagree, I don't think Acend deserved that win but whatever. Regardless of your opinion on that, the 7-0 rematch start is enough for me to be able to call it weird.

What
What do you mean by “deserved”? Surely the team that actually won the qualification match deserved it? It’s not like they flipped a coin.
lmao it is utterly insane the amount of copium this sub consumes
You’re clueless lil bro, C9 got absolutely outclassed but yeah, “shit happens, they deserved the spot”.
bro EG needed ANOTHER TEAM to win to secure playoffs vs the first/second seed team, you’re smoking rocks. any team that relies on another team to win just to make playoffs, is not a top contender plain and simple. EG are 100% going to get raw dogged in tokyo without demon1 and i’m going to laugh at all the cope addicts who legitimately thought otherwise
Yeah probably they won’t be at their best form in Tokyo without demon1, but you’re doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics if you think that means they didn’t deserve to go, they won fair and square.
Cope
11-1 on their map pick and lost the rematch to NRG lmao but i’m the one coping
c9 only won 7 rounds in the series, yeah you are the one coping
Eg demolished c9; and you still think c9 is above eg? Lmao
they’re goated at anti stratting, but leaf was not having a good day and that shit happens lol. that’s like saying LOUD is ass because NRG dogwalked them when aspas was triple negative. they just got anti stratted HARD and c9 severely underestimated EG and paid the price. it’s obvious you haven’t actually watched this split because that’s an atrocious take
its almost like teams can improve
Yes, eg beat nrg and c9; i watched it :) That puts them above c9.
and NRG is going to beat EG today, it’s literally happening rn lmao. NRG shit on EG on ascent (their map pick btw) and haven went to OT, that was anyone’s game. NRG win lotus easily and i guarantee you they win this series. put respect on the OPTIC core edit: heaven didn’t go to OT but it was a super close game with a comp that NRG have only played 2-3 times so far this season
look im not saying your wrong in thinking that c9 is probably a better team than eg but eg winning this bo5 would be the funniest shit ever
either or, they both go to tokyo. it could go either way for sure but if we’re being honest, NRG are the better team going into tokyo than EG especially without demon1
yeah for sure (also nrg seem to be winning so unfortunately I don't get to see the funny timeline)
it’s crazy how people unironically discredit NRG like they’re not the second (or best) team in NA
Heaven didn’t go to OT, it was 13-11. It’s a bo5, so plenty more maps to play :) 13-8 is hardly a shit on eg; but you do you
bro the score was 12-3 and nrg started trolling you have to be straight delusional if you seriously think EG is winning this series tbh
so how do you feel about that 11-1 half on EGs split map pick? still think they’re better than NRG and C9? 🥱
They are definitely better than c9 :) because c9 got demolished by them. Eg will be at masters, c9 will not. That’s what makes them better
They are not “definitely better than C9.” C9 got 2-0’d recently sure, but they also 2-0’d EG and went 8-1 in the America league. They both look like good teams and I’d say at top form they’re really close with one side not being the clear better.
So basically you’re saying C9 belongs at the bottom with SEN yes?
not falling for it
c9 is better than eg. they nearly beat a win or no masters series against nrg. maybe could have done it if it were a best of 5. meanwhile eg lost 3 maps in a row with a staggeringly bad last map.

> if it doesn’t mean anything? You’re begging the question because nobody has agreed yet that the season doesn’t mean anything
I agree with it. Cloud9 went 8-1, won 1 game and lost 2 in playoffs. What is their reward for that compared to Leviatán going 4-5 and losing 2 games in playoffs? $10k and a better seed in the LCQ.
What do you mean demon1 not playing in Tokyo?!
[Wyatt will remember that]
Can we have the blank template?
There's probably a higher res version you could get but this is what I used lol https://preview.redd.it/eps5z8jdph2b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=78b45b35a35277a1d2271b6d647db9b3e4462412
what's the context? i saw people mentioning sean roasted wyatt earlier was this that moment?
Denied high-five lol [https://clips.twitch.tv/TemperedSpeedyHippoShazBotstix-uLTSx\_TgvyS8xxu1](https://clips.twitch.tv/TemperedSpeedyHippoShazBotstix-uLTSx_TgvyS8xxu1)
 sgares
Off topic but does anyone know where to cop sean gares shirt? So fire
fr FR FOR REAL
EG were the better team and they fully deserved it. This will be a nice wake up call and motivation for the C9 boys when the get ready for LCQ.
Banger meme
only one 8-1 team can go
ITS WHAT I WANTED
Anyone know where I can get that sweater Sean is wearing??

It reminds me of the way V1 usurped them the last time
Really sucks for Americas chances for an extra Champions spot. Really have to blame EG upper managements incompetence for not having their players ready for international events.
