Forum thread: ESL playoffs

No sniper? I will wait for a few more matches from Group D. Also in my opinion you should choose the lineup after seeing the bracket. If Na'Vi and Ence will be on the same half you would have little chances to score well.

Not a great choice of 4 players from quaters imho. 48 points as a start. whoever gets 2 players from round 2, they'll have at least double the points you have on your 4 players, they can fluke and you end up with really low 2 pricy players. Ofc these will probably get to finals but you get my point. And it's not like round 2 teams are some great teams, if some1 with round1 team gets it right and the team long runs, eventho they'd lose in quaters, he'll still most likely end up above you in leaderboard. (So I don't sound like a some annoying mf I'll give you to review the idea of my team too, I'm planning to go 2 players from my pick of winning team most likely G2, and with it go with round 1/2 like Mouz or Faze depends on the bracket itself)

"double the points" can be earned back by winning quarter and semi finals, or even the final I've learned my mistake from Katowice and Cologne playoffs, i will now pick players that can actually qualify to final instead of players that will play more games from round 1 but end up losing midway (might change to Vitality tho after the draws)

betting on lanistar riders having a decent run + vit ence doing as expected, might make some changes after group d tho, liquid players are usually fairly cheap and i think they could have upset potential with rainwaker looking better now

insane value on roej and mopoz, assuming they don't run into each other early I will probably stick with them. Zywoo and apex are subject to change based on bracket.

2023-09-22 06:16

Whichever team I am choosing is losing in EPL, so I will choose Vita and Ence now .

Vita didn't face any good team in group and Ence almost got 2-0ed by Mibr so I doubt that will happen.

I don't need to remind you how it went the last time NaVi faced VIT. Honestly tho NaVi did look waaaaay better in groups but I'm not seeing them go further than semis at EPL

2023-09-22 08:21

in our group tho im hopefull but we need to be realistic, our group was the easiest

Only If you count 3rd game(which is incorrect if it's about making playoffs), if only 2, navi had easiest.

2023-09-22 08:36

nah vitality had some pretty good teams in there, we only had faze as a real opponent tbh

The retarded playoff format ensures that the winning team will almost certainly be something nonsensical. The early rounds are the ones that support farming the most, and all the best teams are just getting 6 points in padding from them. Group D teams are the only ones who aren't coming into the games cold, so the 3rd and 4th place teams from the group will get potentially three rounds worth of cold opponents. Then from semis onward the matchups can be whatever depending on how many favorite teams lose because of coming in cold. ENCE hasn't played an official in over 2 weeks and Vitality over 3 weeks coming into the quarter-finals. They might end up playing against an Astralis, Cloud9, VP, MOUZ, FURIA etc. team who has already played and won 2 games before that. Who knows what's going to happen there and which players can actually get things done?
