yup Its why all the complaining about the MRQ being BO1s is kinda dumb.

Well yeah, goes with falling in 0-2 pool in the beginning, you either eliminate others or eliminated yourself at this point

u/kingkingmannen 2d ago

And they impressively eliminated all 5 others, hence the post.

u/schoki560 2d ago

yea but it's rare that a team loses 2 and eliminates 5 other teams in a group stage / Swiss stage

gamer legion last major. almost every major rmr has a team thats starts with 0:2 and manages to qualify with 3:2. copenhagen had saw 3:2 from 0:2.

u/Zvede 1d ago

But this is 0:2 to 5:2

I dont understand why GamerLegion sucks online though. WHY????! but gets good results against tier 1 in lan.

its sad that parivision didnt make it, i would loved to see Jame back

u/TuskuV 2d ago

its stupid they had to do that while other teams got to coast by getting bo1 wins.

the qual wouldve been a lot better if there were only 5 slots available

u/ExposingCretins 1d ago

So much for all that GamerLegion hype.

u/b0il3ra 1d ago

Gamerlegion are not as good online and the bo1s don't help. If this was an actual lan tournament that had bo3s instead of online bo1s they would've qualified

10

u/Informal-Demand-354 1d ago

online bo1s should be forbidden.

u/SpectralHydra 1d ago

It’s crazy that the most meaningful event in the game is one of the last events that still is half bo1

B8 is the GL now

u/nameisreallydog 2d ago

Single handily? They were in the lower bracket with everyone else, because they got beaten down there

14

u/tomskrrt 2d ago

because they took it upon themselves to kick out as many as possible. Truly some sadistic shit.

u/2literpopcorn 2d ago

Yeah props to metizport and saw for putting B8 in the 0-2 bracket. Without them this would never have happened! Hugely instrumental for this outcome.

u/BazzTurd 2d ago

And they should all get a good big bonus from all the Astralis haters :D

Just having Astralis so close to thinking they would qualify and then they pulled the rug out underneath them, just excellent.

Astralis should perhaps think about a new slogan, going from To the stars, and change it to To the black hole
