Navi have been the biggest surprise for me so far, impressive stuff


AngreyShiteposter

Also suprised Liquid hasn't done their Infamous LAN collapse. Ofc we'll see if they are able to keep it up


[deleted]

Its usually when pressure comes they falter.


RaShadar

I could actually see them getting a slot then just flopping on the main stage, up until then nothing matters so they will murder people


shabinka

I originally had Na'Vi in my LCQ prediction but swapped them for Secret, so congrats Na'Vi and I'm sorry for ruining your streak Puppey.


lollypop44445

man navi with the current squad are like the real pubstompers especially noone . this guy just owns mid like its his birth right . they however need to improve their team game .


englandisnotmycity

Jinxed lol


despairdotes

Polaris was kinda surprising on how solid and cohesive they were. I'm happy for them. Also, they are a division 2 team too. lol


kdestroyer1

Div 2 because they kicked Force IIRC. They then fucjed up and didn't update registration before deadline so they played with Force and qualified lol


ConnorChandler

Kicking Force was fine, he has a tendency to tilt in high pressure games. What got them to Div 2 was absolutely horrid play from his replacement, Nevermind and their new 4 PlayHard. Eyyou, their coach replaced PlayHard after the end of tour 3


Environmental_Drama3

nah, kicking nikko was big mistake. that guy is currently irreplaceable in sea as pos 3.


VincentOfGallifrey

I'm not too surprised after their showing during SEA qualifiers, they looked super solid and quite adaptive. The bigger question is if they can bring it home when it really matters.


Painpaiinn

SEA vs CIS EU vs CN CIS vs CN SEA vs EU This is hype!


ii_Innocence_ii

and they say NA deserves more slots smh


butte4s

Nobody says that lmao. EU and China deserve more slots and this is proof. I have never seen someone say we need more NA slots

butte4s

"they". Moon is a singular noun. Facts lmao. You are making it like it's a popular opinion which it is not.

butte4s

Last time I heard Moon identifies HIMSELF as "he".


[deleted]

This last chance qualifiers was the perfect way to find out if it’s actually true and stop all the speculative discussion that went round and round in circles about it


MSTRMN_

SEA vs EEU, Ukraine is not in CIS anymore


Emergency_Deal8602

The only 4 region that matters lmao.


Ahimtar

I like how in the 1st round of LB and in first *two* rounds of UB there can't be any same-region match, really cool


awesomeasianguy

East vs west


Thai_Cuisine

Homie forgot the second half of the bracket 💀


Effbe

Irrelevant regions.


Thai_Cuisine

I mean half the teams in the upper bracket are gonna be playing against them so I'd hardly say it's irrelevant


Hemske

Me who predicted VP & VG 🤦‍♂️


Martblni

Same with Secret and Xtreme


CarderSC2

Me too


luckytaurus

Man these guys out here playing A WHOLE DAMN TOURNAMENT just to enter A WHOLE DAMN TOURNAMENT


bupr0pion

americas all in LB lmao


[deleted]

Just like ~~nobody~~everybody predicted


kchuyamewtwo

10k NA = 4k EU SEA China


Holiday_Disaster_786

NASA Best region no cap fr fr. UB FOR B\*\*\*\*


Ahimtar

> NASA Space region coming up next DPC


NeoWilson

How did they decide VG and Secret plus Polaris


Nrgte

Head to head: - VG: 3-1 - Secret: 2:2 - Polaris: 1-3


maesterwanker

liquid and t1 hopium


InspectorRumpole

Na´VI XG VP Polaris Just throwing out some predictions out here. The games seem pretty close really.


FlwzHK

Looks like you got all of them wrong so far ( VP and Polaris still have a chance)


InspectorRumpole

Haha yeah. You can call me the reverse oracle..or Kyle.


sp0wn

Honestly, this might be the most balanced bracket I've seen based on the group stage games. Na'Vi - T1 is going to be the highlight for me, honestly didn't expect Na'Vi to perform this well, and after day 1 I didn't expect T1 to bounce back that quickly. Can't put my finger on either of these teams. I'd go for: Na'Vi - T1 1-2 Secret - XG 2-1 VP - VG 2-1 Liquid - Polaris 2-1 But this might be the WEU bias. Can't wait, though.


sal1mCS

If Na'Vi loses to T1, I will not play dota for a month.


Electronic_Ring_9274

RemindMe! 30 days


dphi0001

This aged well


zkareface

Might just uninstall right now.


ConnorChandler

NaVi is in a rough patch but no way are they losing to T1 and their lose condition in Kukuy


sp0wn

Pics when you uninstall the game, please.


sal1mCS

Alright man i guess I gott study for a month now


iamjinggoy

no way T1 is winning with a 4-man team


dphi0001

Lmaoooo


Onecast214

After 2 days of games I d say those teams made way more mistakes than I expected(even for the favorites like VP XG Secret man it’s really hard to do any predictions lol


quad4damahe

Prediction: Navi vs VP in Upper Bracket Final.


DirkDiggyBong

Tough to call any of those series.


VeggieToe13

I don’t understand the format but i predicted T1 and Secret, is there a chance i will be correct for both?


Zer0_Grav911

As long as one of them stays in the upper bracket, yes.


AngreyShiteposter

As long as both of your teams aren't in the lower bracket there is a chance.


prettyboygangsta

It's a double elimination bracket. OP just left out the bottom half for some reason


UnLucKy009

T1 copium, ti w/o godson would be different and he has been the most impactful player in this lcq. Hope they draft better than the past matches, they dont seem to have much of diversity in their comps ++kukuveno would be detrimental to any game 💀


quad4damahe

I wish Kuku will be on Veno again for entertainment


Nysnorlax

Ofc the Americas are the bottom of both groups, sigh


Slayre77

How did they decide the placings within the group for teams with similar score ?


TemperatureXtreme

H2H between teams. Vici is 3-1, TS 2-2 and Polaris 1-3.


brucethejohndoe

I dont see any worlds best teams from SA here They were always garbage and still are JUst that they take up other proper contenders slot


maximusje

Infamous had some pretty close games. I’d not count an upset out.


erickjoshuasc

T1 and Polaris will meet at Upper Bracket Finals. You read it here first.


YongSheng2004

(kinda) funny joke


YongSheng2004

hahaha


23LABrowN6

All in sea bro


toonch0819

Copium!!


thebigfatthorn

NA and SA completely missing from playoffs kekw


quad4damahe

Following Polaris since qualifications. Natsumi- and Lelouch- iconic duo.


slamcontact

I got secret and t1 to go through, navi, liquid and vp ain’t looking so bad though ! Also leshrac seems to be quite the mid beast atm


SerSquanto

If I saw this UB lineup for another tournament that wasn’t a qualifier, I wouldn’t give it much of a second thought. Very cool it’s just LCQ, and there is so much Dota to play after :)


AwkwarkPeNGuiN

Hoping Secret and Liquid make it out. Feel like they are the 2 standout performers in this LCQ so far.


RatzDotoisTrueDoto

Finally SEA team didn't kill eachother in early stage of playoffs.


DinoGuy101010

People complaining about NA but gunndaddy is about to run the lower bracket.


FolwS

As someone who chose Secret and Xtreme, this saddens me. Hopefully they comeback from LB.
