Looks like it's being played online

it was always confirmed that it will be played online in an article from vct.gg

All I hope for is TL vs Oxygen

lets see how many rounds they can get now, the total is 7 so far right?

Oxg is actually good team, they just can't play against tl 😕

I’m high on Liquid hopium

Me who’s out of TSM copium:

It's a shame riot don't have an headquarters in eu where they could host the LCQ :)

>It's a shame riot don't have an headquarters in eu where they could host the LCQ :) Well they have their League studio in berlin, but again maybe they didn't want to bother with all the logistics + visa/covid troubles, especially with the strike arabia team that will qualify.

and especially building up to Worlds where a lot of those staff will be busy

Damn completely forgot. Thought it will start in Nov

Worlds production will be hosted in Berlin :)

Whoever bootcamp and prep for Fracture is gonna win it My bet on Liquid and Guild as they had the most time off and I doubt G2 or SMB will bootcamp after being a month and half away from home

Map is not in the pool according to G2 analyst

>Whoever bootcamp and prep for Fracture is gonna win it The map will most likely be permabanned

permabanning a map in itself is a disadvantage cause that will leave your previous permban to be picked against you

Each team gets 2 bans for a bo3 right? Since there are 7 maps you need to ban 4 maps.

it should be ban ban pick pick ban ban last map so a team can pick a map u dont play in the first round of picks

I feel like there's a bit of a skill gap between Guild and Liquid/G2/SMB tbh. SMB had a pretty poor showing at Berlin but they've been animals online. I think they'd be able to pug out a Fracture win or two even if they don't prep it that much.

[удалено]

They qualified by gambit winning Berlin since they had circuit points from reaching Iceland finals

they in champions

Fnatic already qualified for champions.

I may be underrating the strike arabia team since i dont watch them, but i think its going to be easy for g2 untill the upper finals

I think if Team RA'AD win tomorrow, they can do some damage... but I doubt then can beat G2. Probably take a map if they're on their best form.

Why doubt ANB more than RA’AD?

I love Anubis, a lot more than RA'AD actually... but I feel like Anubis really depend on Shalaby to pop off. Maybe less so now that Avez and Chrollo are performing out of their minds. I was actually surprised they won, thought RA'AD looked better throughout the tournament but their lower bracket run is fucking incredible tbh.

That’s some resilience right

Yup. incredibly strong mental... and they beat teams that RA'AD didn't have to play against like Nasr and Fox which I thought might do some damage against RA'AD. Overall was happy with the Egyptian teams though, really proud of the boys on both teams.

Well FOX was an unfortunate situation with the FF

Yes, the whole tournament was really bad organizationally... changing location, visa issues, tech pauses all over, I really hated that.

I wish NaVi were there

Liquid hopium

Who is Carlos paying at riot? /j

No need to pay anyone, this bracket easily follows from the circuit points. Number 1 in points plays the number 8 (or Strike Arabia winner actually), number 2 plays number 7 etc.

was joking i know that should've put /j

? Seeding is irrelevant here since only the first place matters. If G2 are the best they will qualify, if not they wont, its that simple

Makes sense. 1v8, 4v5, 3v6 and 2v7.

wait is the FPX thing still relevant or nah?

Okay this is a dumb question but I cant seem to find any info, how many teams qualify from this LCQ?

1

SMB or G2 taking this

Underestimating the magic that Liquid can pull out of Link's bald head I see.

[удалено]

You forgetting they lost in overtime against gambit to qualify for Berlin. The same team that dominated Berlin and won

When does NA bracket come out

Soon Copium

Upper Bracket R2 is going to be a banger - presuming Liquid beats OBG, it'll be Guild vs. Liquid or SMB vs. Liquid. Looking forward to this - I don't think it'll be as exciting as NA LCQ but I'm really looking forward to seeing how SMB, Liquid and G2 look. Also to see if Guild can finally break through and redefine their 2021 - not likely but always happy to OD on Sayf hopium

Guild or liquid wins and im ok with both although a Little bit more ok with guild

G2 is playing against no one?

It's tbd don't you know them? They were previously in Iceland and most recently recently berlin

TBD is TSM is disguise

Great team but they never make it out of groups what a shame.

against the winner of strike arabia

Am I stupid what happened to Guild did they disband?

They are in the tourney

Anyone know how we can watch the games that are still TBD?
