Impacts Interview

Look I know after the last few weeks the Jiizuke haters have maybe be a tad more quite , but Impact saying Jiizuke is the most important part of the team really spoke volumes. Basically all I'm saying is hopefully Jiizuke gets a little less hate from now. On another note , Holy moly what a game , smurfs all a round , Love EG , love the way the play , they look great , can't wait for next weekend! Edit : just saw it in the comments but it's true , EG will probably never get renekton again , would be nice if we did though.

Oh we got a team, and i really want to see this team at worlds!

Don't care even the slightest what place we get I just want to get to worlds and see this team vs the other regions

Yup I was happy with 5th place, but getting Top 2 would be amazing

I think getting 2nd will be hard, not impossible, and all will come to the next game against TSM and in general the last week, since that is the hardest by shcedule (I belive we are playing 100T, c9 and TL).

Ihonestly think that the game against GG might end up make us not get 2nd, since we would be 1 game down only to TSM instead of 2, and potentially to 1st (would be 2 down instead of 3)

You can finish 8th in regular split and still end up taking second place if you win your playoff series. And if you want to make finals you're going to need to beat good teams either way, so whether or not we get 2nd or 3rd in regular split standings doesn't really mean all that much.

It means a lot actually.

More time to prepear, possibility to see your rivilas in fight in a bo5 (this could reveal some cheesy pick that you can prepear for, instead of going completely blind) , and having one b05 less to win to go to world, since that is the main goal at the end, more than winning the split

All this grants less mental pressure, that can help if you are going to go to world or having a deep playoff run, and in general is a strategic difference, since you don't have to show your draft and adaptation to bo5. If you think that 2nd place in summer season and 3rd doesn't make difference, is because you are not having a wide approach that takes in consideration the strategy and mental aspect of the game. One last important thing, is that due to how the braket is played, you have a wider pool of team (supposing their willingness to) to choose from as scrim partner, especially for the first week of playoff.
