I always find myself coming back to FF9. But I don't think it's purely because of the magic of nostalgia. I feel like it's much deeper than that. Rooted in a time long passed. Nestled deep inside, a pioneers heart, longing for adventure and excitement.

@swizi556@Mugen_gg@t1_aphelios@Sheep_Esports That's not the most recent going into MSI. The most recent going into MSI was spring split. No top LCS team did particularly well during this online qual. Sen are still 5/6th in the LCS, which is what I'm getting at.
@TTc46691916@Dmn_Fe They mean the 5/6th place team. We know Sen is considered "1st seed" because of a ridiculous online only qual bracket. But the reality is, Sen are a 5/6th seed of the LCS.
@ethemmy@forestwithout 5*
Which is arguably pretty good given it's a MOBA, also, CSGO only has 2 official tournaments hosted by valve.
4 of the 5 tournaments for league are officially hosted tournaments. Also, keep in mind lolesports is not open circuit like CSGO or DOTA.
@forestwithout Repooled for "last chance qualifiers". Another double round robin. Top 2 from each group move on.
8 teams in KO. Quarters is Bo3, Semis is Bo5, finals is Bo7. Fearless draft.
Ez pz.
@forestwithout Playins for CBLOL #1 & 2, LCP #1 & 2, LCS #2 & 3, LEC #2 & 3. 2 pools, no regional matches, double round robin. Top 4 teams move to group stage.
Group stage: Group A, B. 4 LCK, 4 LPL, LCS #1, LEC #1, the 4 seeds from playins. Double round robin top 2 move to KO. The rest (cont
@ethemmy@forestwithout I mean... FST, MSI, EWC, Worlds, and now that new international spinning up this year after worlds for regional pride or wetf they said. Something about xenophobia
@DShyKnock We need more games. We need more practice. The LCK & LPL play more than we do in a year, just in a single split, and they have almost twice our number of teams. Either the LCS does this, or we REALLY need to pick up on scrimmages.
Me thinks
@Fairfight7@Sheep_Esports DK got lucky and G2 players were all sick with the flu. Oh, they also had jetlag. Oh! They were also just trolling, it was a 4fun match... OH! And they weren't taking this mickey mouse tourney seriously.
@forestwithout@katanaswitch@Sjdjzjsuejrkfkd It would be very nice to see more games from both LEC and LCS. I just don't understand either of these regions. They can structure their regions to mirror the two strongest regions.
But no. Let's make rap videos and let's import instead.
