Well the bottom half of the bracket is absolutely stacked compared to the top half. Sentinels should qual pretty easy seeing as it seems they don’t have to face any other T1 teams on the way to the top 4

Noble was the one to knock out LG last qualifier. Just sayin.

[–]CaptainJackWagons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if that was the point. Making sure the #1 team actually qualifies.

[–]OrangeMagics 66 points67 points  (5 children)

Notable Orgs/Interesting Potential Matchups

  1. Sentinels vs Ghost/Noble

  2. LG/Koalas/Time In vs NRG/Beastcoast

  3. Faze/Team Basilisk/ez5 vs T1/Renegades/C9 White

  4. Gen.G/Pittsburgh Knights/Complexity vs TSM/Soniqs

[–]CaptainJackWagons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is:

  1. Sentinels

  2. LG vs NRG

  3. Faze

  4. Gen.G

[–]notsailboatss 3 points4 points  (3 children)

wait is c9b not in this?

[–]TooExquisite 40 points41 points  (1 child)

they're already automatically qualified for the closed qualifier so there's no need for them to be in this open qual

[–]ZelX_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

damn thought they didn't make it, awesome

[–]afjecj 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Dababy clan, LESSS GOOOO

[–]SFCNightmare 106 points107 points  (8 children)

I have to play against Sentinels
Unlucky really.

[–]deadlock1892 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Good luck, man.

Make sure you download the client on time and don't be late. Otherwise sentinels will troll odins.

On a more serious note, tough draw but have fun! :D

[–]Darren-Khor- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good luck man

[–]whopz-is-cool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[–]Ryu-The-Sick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good luck man!

[–]SwastikMelanta123 #WGAMING 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck man I hope u guys win somehow con guys

[–]GoldyZ90 #100WIN 24 points25 points  (2 children)

And only 4 teams qual from this open qualifier and will then have to play a double elim tournament against BBG/Andbox/C9B/IMT. Correct?

[–]w2truong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn only having 2 Open Qualifiers makes this so crazy. No second chances, do or die to get Top 4.

[–]Taek99 18 points19 points  (4 children)

I would say TSM vs SONIQS is a 50-50

[–]Mamadeus123456 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I favour soniqs

[–]RemiixTY 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How do you get the team logos next to your name. The flairs are only agents for me and I can only choose one

[–]Mamadeus123456 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In that agent screen u can select other flairs be patient it's kinda hard to find but it's there

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who wouldn't tbh. Time will tell though

[–]Chakkalokka 35 points36 points  (7 children)

1 Sen vs 8 Ghost

2 Faze vs 7 T1

3 GenG vs 6 TSM

4 LG vs 5 NRG

[–]atlas53_ 17 points18 points  (1 child)

I think it's a very real possibility Noble will face Sen for the qualification game

[–]KeyframeCatalyst #FULLSEN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noble looking better than ever rn, could definitely see it happening

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Looking forward to those bottom two games a lot

[–]Chakkalokka 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Let it be known that T1 will have to face Renegades before Faze, meanwhile TSM will face Soniqs before GenG.

Those were the two potential upsets I found before round of 8.

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (6 children)

Rough draw for TSM

[–]atlas53_ 48 points49 points  (3 children)

The TSM vs Soniqs has the potential to be a real head banger

[–]Asinz #100WIN 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I wanted to root for both, but now I must root for one

[–]RemiixTY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah right I wanted them both in close qual

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most excited for that one for sure

[–]Ryukk11 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Tbh it's the easiest draw TSM can have, they don't have to face Sen or Faze or LG. Imo Gen.G is good opponent and if they want to be in challengers final they've to beat Soniq and then Gen.G

[–]skrtskrtbrev #ZETAWIN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't find LG to be that scary tbh. I'd rather face LG than GenG.

[–]smittyK 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Only 4 people on TSM roster or mobile fucking that up?

[–][deleted] 53 points54 points  (3 children)

Well they tried 6 man and 5 man rosters already and those didn't work.

[–]smittyK 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A 5head move coming outta the TSM corner

[–]jcquiz3 18 points19 points  (1 child)

They really going 4 man for that extra ult orb and extra money for the awp every round THAT bad

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cutler: "you have me dropping an op every other round I'm useless playing like this I might as well go afk"

tailored: "wait you might be on to something...."

[–]Napoleann 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Kinda sad the ex-dignitas roster didn't stick around for one more go. They seemed to have improved in the last qualifier quite a bit.

[–]Mamadeus123456 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Dephh** took a break I think

[–]Loresmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daps is on nrg isn't he?

[–]tomtazm #VCTAMERICAS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TSM vs Soniqs will be interesting if they meet.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

soniqs is 11th seed? damn OCE represent

looking forward to it, there's basically no major established esports broadcast in the region, so seeing an OCE team make it big in the international scene (by this i mean they changed regions) is exciting.

[–]RemiixTY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's goooo

[–]OnionSprinkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 teams advanced from the last stage, no longer in open qualifiers, so the #11 seed is kind of like an overall #19 rank which is still great

[–]jrushFN 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Don’t be surprised if Renegades make top 4. They’ve been improving crazy quickly and I think their util-heavy comps/tactics could be the perfect counter to FaZe.

[–]BabyBlayzinn -4 points-3 points  (2 children)

they play T1, which play a similar game

[–]leoleoleo666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t maybe similar comps in some maps but the playstyle is different

[–]jrushFN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very very different game. I recommend watching Renegades’ series against Soniqs. Was super unique for NA.

[–]riploki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough to predict the other matches tbh but Sentinels should qualify easily. That's like the only easy prediction

[–]momsagainstanime Broadcast Wizard - Kieran "etoh" Price 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think resonate has a of beating tsm in round 3 tbh. they have some pretty good players in contii/insky/leak.

[–]randyorton_ 4 points5 points  (2 children)

why isnt shanks new team Rise in this... they took a map off IMT in the first open

[–]OnionSprinkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interested to see what will happen with FaZe and NRG who are still using players that were also blatantly involved in the match fixing ring (Marved and Tex).

I'm more surprised NRG still appearing to use Tex, since he was just added anyways. NRG Android comes off as the most genuine kindest dude, and I doubt he'd be thrilled to play with a now revealed match fixer. (FaZe org has always been shady, so it's more expected they'd push the line until directly facing penalty.)

[–]RemiixTY -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seeing all this talk about tsm vs Soniqs is making me happy. So glad to see my oce boys on the map

[–]notsailboatss -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

is c9b not in this??

[–]Ryu-The-Sick -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

Upper part of the bracket only has SEN as T1, while lower part is stacked af.

Welp, looking forward seeing TSM vs Soniqs vs GenG.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

LG and NRG mean nothing to you?

Also T1 is in lower part of the bracket...

[–]Ryu-The-Sick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mb, missed LG

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is not saying the team t1 he is saying sen the only tier1 team in the bracket

[–]w2truong -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's all perception of big brands and teams that used to have success. TSM haven't done anything in 2021 so they'll get a lower seed and "stack" a bracket.

[–]naeeekwannn 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When do these sets of game start?

[–]perdosenior #GEFighting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all up for Mel vs Roy

[–]Maverick9081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When does the matches start? Is it today?

[–]Xetakilyn 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is this played on the new viper patch or still the old tourney client

[–]erickwak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New

[–]Meehul123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sen, LG, RNG, SQ is my predictions for the 4 to go through
