Well yeah but you'd rather lose in the final than the quarters.

I mean if your mindset is anything other than wanting to win the whole thing, then yeah. But if you're playing to win, then it doesn't matter.

[Fixed2BeBroken]

[Paltheos]

Yeah. Particularly notable is getting 4 normal kills in a row on Nepal Shrine.

 

[Cheat Code]

Nesh and Skipjack are garbage lmao.

 

[Apathy]

[Syf]

USA/Brazil starting up now.

Final day of last group stage
playoffs should b good

Boombox is my city o7

 

[Syf]

First match been good, close with US barely edging it out each time

 

[Kayo Police]

US is the best team at the world cup.

 

[NimbusD]

God damn, US earning their wins. I'm honestly surprised at Chinese Taipei not adjusting strat. They're sticking to being super passive and it's not working. US is being too aggressive.

 

[Antiwhippy]

US is the best team at the world cup.

* that isn't SK

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

* that isn't SK

And France.

 

[Syf]

US been winning all its games by the slimmest margins today

 

[Antiwhippy]

How the fuck is a full pro team so uncoordinated?

Unless something is going on behind the scenes Flash wolves have been totally underwhelming.

2 people dying from a random DVA ult is not a good sign.

 

[Syf]

Yeah some real amateurish mistakes that match. Don't look like they belong at blizzcon.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Boombox is so insanely good.

I wish I was that good with long range right clicks. ;_;

 

[Syf]

Ah okay, so the bracket we were looking at was wrong. It's going to be a random draw on August 28. Will be streamed

 

[Antiwhippy]

While that may have been the plan all along, the move felt like a "oh god we can't have US face SK first up" kind of move.

 

[Syf]

Does seem odd to post a pretty definitive looking bracket and then decide to random draw it

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

they should have just did a losers bracket. more games for us. but I guess they don't want to do that many matches

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

US is the best team at the world cup.

you're new to the Competitive pro scene eh?

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

While that may have been the plan all along, the move felt like a "oh god we can't have US face SK first up" kind of move.

Watch it so the random drawing makes them face each other anyway. Lol.

 

[Cheat Code]

USA had trouble with Germany lmao. They are out first round.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Though it is kind of interesting that all countries with an OWL team has qualified so far.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

USA had trouble with Germany lmao. They are out first round.

they will be competitive against every team there....except S. Korea

 

[Jellie]

Hope UK gets drawn USA on their way to the final to play South Korea.

 

[Apathy]

Too late now but I really gate the snake draft to set up the group stages and then again not mixing the 8 teams again when they go into blizzcon. They are like purposely trying to get SK to not hit like the US

 

[ZeroGravity]

Brackets for finals drawn

 

[Zen Aku]

Brackets for finals drawn

Welp USA is fucked.

 

[Otakumegane]

So SK vs US then SK vs France before finals?

I can live with that.

 

[Otakumegane]

AFAIK USA should "throw" the match against Taiwan so they won't play against Korea later? Or I misunderstood something?

Wonder if they actually contemplated this. But then random draw is op.

 

[Hazardous Metal]

Canada actually has a really good shot of making it to the grand final with that bracket, lets gooooooo!

 

[Apathy]

Sk vs Canada finals, I can dream

 

[Syf]

Forgot that draw was happening. Sucks USA ended up with SK anyway lol. Glad Canada is on the opposite side of the bracket but none of the matches will be easy anyway. Looking forward to the convention!

 

[Hazardous Metal]

Sk vs Canada finals, I can dream

Sweden is one of the weakest teams in the top 8 with pretty shaky performances all around, UK hasn't even gone up against a strong team yet in the WC and Australia while a solid team is not going to be unbeatable. It's looking pretty good.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Watch it so the random drawing makes them face each other anyway. Lol.

Late to the party, but let it be known I called it.

Now I say SK v Canada. So I say, so it shall be.
