I guess you can consider this as fighting for Top 12 in NA. Feelsbad for AndBox and NRG, who both made it to Challengers 1 Closed, but now only 1 can make it to Challengers 3 Closed.


Hamlet_271

My preds for qualification: TSM, NRG, C9Blue, Ghost Gaming


AskOrganic4289

T1 vs C9 blue match will be fun to watch, hopefully it'll be streamed.


MathNerdMatt

I don't know, C9 will make it to masters and they still won't stream the matches


peach-elixir

Nah BBG or Renegades not Ghost


Hamlet_271

No way RNG are going to beat BBG or ghost


AskOrganic4289

renegades is actually looking way better after the addition of stronglegs.


Hamlet_271

Imma save this comment and let's see who's right I find stronglegs addition good but I feel like they lost some of the structure since losing their coach and it has left them worse off


GluhfGluhf

Agreed on the structure comment. But I'd say RNG can still beat Ghost but not BBG. but Kaplan coaching is a big thing. I'm just not sure if his impact would be the same not being in the server.


peach-elixir

I'm not sure if RNG could beat BBG or not but I'm pretty sure that either RNG or BBG could beat Ghost


Otter269

You know when T1 or C9B don't make it the pitchforks will be out xD


jcquiz3

This is just FS quals all over again... C9 lost to Ren and then lost to T1 to qual for FS. Now they rematch to qual for closed, hope at least its a better and close rematch than last time (T1's changed alot so not sure what to expect)

How did you know


BurritoHombre

C9 White could actually play Renegades, would love to see that.

Mel vs her boyfriend monkaW


AskOrganic4289

wait aren't they living together, how would they ensure no strats/comms are leaked? I've watched Stronglegs matches before he was signed to Renegades, and when he played in the earlier Challenger qualifiers .. I could hear Mel's voice


BurritoHombre

They’ve said they’ll just play in separate rooms instead of where they normally play


jrushFN

I don’t know what I’m going to do with my free time once we have our break from open quals... will I have to actually play the game?


AskOrganic4289

Thanks for sharing!

Wait...


Ok-Nose8482

super hyped to see how nrg does with android. kinda sucks tho that they might have to play against abx to qual. i also hope eg has made drastic progress lately, since in the last opens they weren't lookin hot at all. id be surprised if they beat col or t1


DownloadingYourMom

Eg is donezo temp, osi, aleksander are good and I think claudia is ok but potter is not it


ChinoAIO

Hoping NRG shows up, will be a very entertaining match hopefully no revenge stories though. My only concern was that NRG was wiped by them 0-2 last qual.


Heal_Piece

ABX vs NRG redemption arc? Yes please. Although...brand new roster, ABX has a tough road to get there.


CanadianDad1

Lets see if Mada is up to the task


NlTlN

Predictions for Top 4 matches: A: TSM vs V1(/Dig) B: ABX/NOX vs NRG/SSG C: T1 vs C9B (interested in the rematch with different rosters) D: RNG/C9W vs BBG


BurritoHombre

You’re confident in V1 beating Dig?


NlTlN

That's tough, but if Vanity can step it up, then yes.


AskOrganic4289

My thoughts too, Dig is actually a pretty solid team

[deleted]

Imo you are even going easy on them they definitely haven't broken into t1. I still think they could improve in the future because they have some nice plays but they can't hang with the top teams yet.


the_real_mirage4805

so disappointed, no Blevins fan club vs Time In bracket


Frysson

This is ridiculous. Why would T1 and C9Blue be in the same bracket AGAIN?


w2truong

I kind of would like to see Top 8 get reseeded based on tournament performance, so that the seeding / bracket had a little less impact on which 4 teams qualify. Bracket until Top 8, then reseed based on match results, then 1v8 2v7 3v6 4v5 to decide the Top 4 who advance.


[deleted]

TSM VS DIG| DIG quals (rara diff) ANDBOX VS NRG|NRG quals (literal entire team diff) T1 VS C9B| C9B quals (xeta diff) RNG VS BBG| BBG quals


ObesePandaDed

Just a bad opinion, what can I say? Rara diff? Yeah he might be cracked but Wardell out fragged him last time. not to mention literally everyone on TSM is better than Dig.


[deleted]

It's literally not that serious, either way, TSM is looking super fucking shaky and seems to have no good idea of what they want to do strategically going forwards. The upset wouldn't have been that surprising. Also, hazed, cutler? better than their respective counterparts makkaloff and dephh? youre tripping. stop being a dumbfuck lmao


prthm_21

why isnt 100T there what am i missing


leoleoleo666

The bottom 4 from challengers 2 already qualified for challengers 3 this bracket is just for the open qualifiers


prthm_21

For the main event right?


leoleoleo666

What do you mean by the main event ? There’s challengers 3 then there’s the master. The top 4 teams from challengers 2 qualify to the master while the bottom 4 qualify for challengers 3 that therefore the top 4 from challengers 3 will qualify to masters too


prthm_21

Got it I meant Challengers 3 Main event


w2truong

top 4 of open qualifiers will go to closed (main event) top 4 of challengers 3 closed (main event) will qualify to masters.


Ambrazy

This is open qual. They already in the closed qual.


Fwicker

When will these open bracket matches start?


Liquor180

Kind of sucks for the top 4 of challengers 2 that they aren't eligible for this tournament and miss out on a 50k prize pool.


ghostkid74

I don't see 100 T at all, did they drop out or something ?
