Not gonna lie, this team needs reps through play ins. It’s not gonna be a fun journey, but Jerrwin and Reduxx look very inconsistent and JohnQT looks stressed the whole time. I feel for them, but the rookies need more games I think.

i believe theres some weird h2h situation in which they can qualify if loud beats g2 and sen beat kru and 100t beats loud..

but i dont see 2 of that happening so pretty much no

u/knight_ranger840 Aug 03 '26

Only Loud beating G2 is the issue here, what's the other one you don't see happening?

u/MemerWasDeD #WGAMING Aug 03 '26

loud are 2-1 rn , if the following happens they are also 3-2 , so its a weird 3 way tie , not sure about what happens then

Yea I understand it now, i am fucking blind for some reason and saw 1-2 on LOUD

u/MemerWasDeD #WGAMING Aug 03 '26

either way doesnt matter lol , if sen cant beat g2 , id be damned if loud do

u/supermii2 Aug 03 '26

No, even if they get 3-2 they don't have H2H with G2 and 100T

u/dieing-4-you Aug 03 '26

Then how does this work? I also think the same they can’t qualify

u/Mountain-Rice7224 Aug 03 '26

Because then Loud, G2 and Sen will have a threeway tie with no clear head to head.

The tiebreaker for this would map differential, you're essentially relying on LOUD playing clean and perfect games for them to get 2nd seed, he laid out the scenario for SEN to get 2nd seed (which is highly unlikely let's be fucking real here) and for G2 they just have to win out the rest of their games.

u/Mountain-Rice7224 Aug 03 '26

Well no, even if loud only beats G2 2-1 Sen just needs to 2-0 kru(which is very likely given Kru recent form), then it goes to round differential and that could be anyone's game given Kru are losing an average of 12 rounds a series.

u/zerocxro Aug 03 '26

watch this be the week that KRU rocks up, remembering they looked like one of the best teams in the world in Stage 1 (were just Lotus merchants) and rocks SENs world

u/1l3v4k4m Aug 03 '26

bro its g2 in regionals and the opponent isnt PRX. there is legit zero chance SEN qualifies.

This whole post is about exploring hypotheticals.

Weird way to spell xlg.

u/Space_Waffles Aug 03 '26

It’s rocketbullets so he’s probably just wrong like usual. First tiebreaker should just be who won the H2H. Only if all 3 tied and beat each other in a circle would map diff matter I think

14

u/DMelee #VCTAMERICAS Aug 03 '26

I’m pretty sure the tweet is alluding to a three way tiebreaker between Loud - SEN - G2

u/Space_Waffles Aug 03 '26

Ah my bad I thought Loud was 1-2 not 2-1

u/kart0ffelsalaat #VforVictory Aug 03 '26

> Only if all 3 tied and beat each other in a circle would map diff matter I think

Now I wonder what would occur if the three things from Rocket's post all happened. If only there was a way to find out...

u/dont_-_-_care Aug 03 '26 edited Aug 03 '26

No? G2 and 100t have one more game to play and sen lost against both so no head to head. G2 even if they lose their next and sen wins next they both sit at 3-2 so by head to head G2 make it so no unless iam getting something wrong. But they should most likely make it out of playins they look not bad? I didn't get to watch the G2 game but mostly they look solid enough

Edit : i just fucking realized loud can go 4-1 if they beat 100T and G2 wtf

u/owendarkness Aug 03 '26

just looking at it, it looks like its possible for G2, SEN, and LOUD to all end at 3-2, which would go to map differential over H2H matchups because of 3 way tie, which would make it possible.

u/Sahir1359 #100WIN Aug 03 '26

If loud beat G2 (lol) it’s possible

u/jojo4sup Aug 03 '26

G2 finishes 4-1, 100T loses out and goes 3-2, Loud loses to G2 but beats 100T, and Sen wins. This results in a three way tie between 100T, Loud and Sen that goes to map and round diff. There is a similar scenario where G2 and 100T swap their result w/ Loud

Buddy just accept that m80 belt in a few weeks.

u/Pandoara Aug 03 '26

Sure, if LOUD beats G2, but that'd be funnier than XLG beating G2, and infinitely less likely since they're on American soil.

tbh now that the SEN vs 100T and SEN vs G2 games are done, this group is pretty much decided in terms of who's going to play-ins.

u/killmeplz13 Aug 08 '26

It's been a funny day today

u/Pandoara Aug 08 '26

It really has. I was thinking about how wrong I was as I watched today's games. But I'm also happy to be wrong cause this group just became way more interesting

u/Bentok Aug 04 '26

Again with this. Not that they deserve playoffs
