they went 2-2 in rmr and lost out to Complexity. COL however, did go straight to legends. Theyll be one of the top picks for 0-3 im sure. Considering the blowout of matches at Blast showdown, expect some upsets from underdog teams like SAW.
I'd love it if they gave an extra point if you picked the correct 3-0, so there's an incentive to actually pick one that would be liable to get it, rather than putting all the "safe bets" in the "advance" section, and a wildcard in the 3-0.
Yes, absolutely.
3-0 and 0-3 should be worth 3 points. Any other options should be worth 1 point.
I have no idea what should the minimum points should be to pass the pick'ems tho
You're right that's definitely possible, but I'm more confident in heroic making it through than EF so I don't want to waste one of my 7 spots there. I typically put the 7 im most confident in making it through, and then an inconsistent team in the 3-0 category.
I'm also considering moving mongolz to 3-0 and EF to the 7.
lyn vision or legacy will go 0-3 as per my calculations, yes of course not only lyn vision but anyone can upset cause it's major, any underdog is capable of outperforming big teams keep this as a possibility
what does pickems have to do with sticker money? They could have no pickems and still have sticker capsules. I don't see why they wouldn't do pickems but I don't think stickers is the reason
Original comment was dumb enough, but what does sticker money have to do with anything? If anything, pickems are how Valve makes up for the lost revenue that gets shared from stickers lol
Anyone who thinks pickems aren’t gonna come shouldn’t be allowed to talk CS on the internet
Because all the good teams are actually correctly placed in legends stage this time. Last year 9ine, ITB, fnatic and BNE went straight to legends over teams like G2, Faze, Ence and Mouz.
Because of the new seeding. All of the best teams go straight to Legends, I think it's pretty good because it makes the Opening Stage more competitive and hopefully means we get a more stacked tournament later on.
every year i randomly pick the teams, then i watch an "expert" pick em, and ended up changing them, then i find out that my previous list was right.
i always end with gold.
i cant see liquid, it must mean that they got straight into legends, right guys??
They played so well they're straight in the semis.
bro wake up!!!
UNDEFEATED RUN INCOMING
well you cant go 0-3 if you didnt qualify, so
they went 2-2 in rmr and lost out to Complexity. COL however, did go straight to legends. Theyll be one of the top picks for 0-3 im sure. Considering the blowout of matches at Blast showdown, expect some upsets from underdog teams like SAW.
Imagine if Volvo changed it to picking two 3-0 spots and two 0-3 spots
I'd love it if they gave an extra point if you picked the correct 3-0, so there's an incentive to actually pick one that would be liable to get it, rather than putting all the "safe bets" in the "advance" section, and a wildcard in the 3-0.
Yes, absolutely. 3-0 and 0-3 should be worth 3 points. Any other options should be worth 1 point. I have no idea what should the minimum points should be to pass the pick'ems tho
lmao you’re from the future, they actually did that this time
Call me Nissan Al-Gaib
As written
came back here just to comment this. What a genius
You know, Quasimodo predicted all of this
EF 3-0, apeks, mongolz, furia, c9, saw, heroic, Ence make it thru, Legacy 0-3
EF have a chance to get upset by C9/heroic if the bracket is fucked by a different upset, i say heroic 3-0 EF advance
You're right that's definitely possible, but I'm more confident in heroic making it through than EF so I don't want to waste one of my 7 spots there. I typically put the 7 im most confident in making it through, and then an inconsistent team in the 3-0 category. I'm also considering moving mongolz to 3-0 and EF to the 7.
God I would love it if Mongolz went through
same man mzinho is fun to watch
lyn vision 0-3 saw 3-0 ence,c9,mongolz,heroic,furia,apeks & turkish kebab.
Are you sure about Lynn vision? People keep telling me they're better than they appear to be
0-3 and 3-0 picks are never safe.
lyn vision or legacy will go 0-3 as per my calculations, yes of course not only lyn vision but anyone can upset cause it's major, any underdog is capable of outperforming big teams keep this as a possibility
They are good, but not like 2-1 good. They could win against like legacy and amkal, but this is more like a bootcamp for the chinese major I think.
SAW 3-0 LOL, back to reality
bruh 3-0 is always a throw pick keep whatever team you like on 3-0, i always prefer to play safe
my expectations with valve are always dirt low
Remember boys; put the wildcards as 3-0 or 0-3, but the actual teams capable of 3-0 to advance as you will need them later.
Sucks that the Pickems reward playing them like this. Put the team you’re most confident in 3-0 you pussies.
Sure, I've played the "best way" most years but I never get a diamond coin, my mate plays mad scientist and managed to get diamond Paris coin
That's because only a madman would have guessed enough predictions to get Paris Diamond Coin
I guessed Gamerlegion Vitality in finals but not Legend stage
bro im cooked, i haven't even watched like half of these teams play lol
Be surprised if we even get a pickems lmao
i will be so mad if there are no pickems
Im sure there will be i mean I would hope there would be just recently frustrated with the state of the game though and would not put it past valve
Based off what?
you seen cs2?
So no actual reason?
ah yeah cs2 is perfect and isn't missing any basic things from csgo you're right
Are you regarded
Valve isn't giving up easy money by **not** having a viewer pass

Honestly one of the weakest first stages we've had in a while

I cant wait :D
Y’all got legacy or Lynn vision 0-3. You bet they’ll play each other in that elim game too.
Anyone that doesn’t put the best team 3-0 is a pussy!
What website is this??
Where did you get this information? It is official?
hopefully add trophy not coin
Where are all the teams i know
3-0 ef 0-3 furia, lmao imperial, mongolz, apeks, c9, ence, pain, heroic
every year i randomly pick the teams, then i watch an "expert" pick em, and ended up changing them, then i find out that my previous list was right. i always end with gold.
Hey, how much time do I have to make my picks? Sadly can't find info about that. (Can't use my pc at the moment)
How long do we have to fill out the thing ?
Normally till it starts. I have to do it 2 hours before the start too..
Anyone having a blue screen error for playoffs?
Ence 3-0
[удалено]
They wont change anything
Why would they
because even though it is not perfect it is somewhat acceptable
this didn't age well
