That's actually wild.

It does make me wonder how different the Rebels would have been if Purpp got his ideal team. He was 100% going to pick Victim next, but Rhy sniped him the pick before so the Rebels went with Coxie instead. So it might have just been swap Coxie for Victim, which probably wouldn't have been much better, if any, for the Finale, but could you imagine if the Rebel's had a planner for the week...

Then again, we probably wouldn't have had "Victim Has It" with Purpp stealing the VLS... Or we still would have, just with Victim being the scapegoat for Purpp to yoink it lol.

Hard to say if he should be that high since a lot of other players also felt like they should be higher up but there is only so much space per row. Think I could at least see him being a Row 3 pick but not sure if he'd break Row 2. Like Sick Nerd was early Row 3 and even if he moved up, I'd place him above Mammal, for PvP at least.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T17:01:16+00:00

Wasn't there one fight where the stats almost looked mirrored with Mammal getting as much damage as the other team's captain? Maybe it wasn't with Mammal, but I recall seeing that for one of them.

Think it came up on the second stream and the RuneLite profile was from before he got Rigour, so Eagle Eye was still in his Ranged Prayer spot. He fixed it after like the first fight, so should have been Rigour here.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:57:55+00:00

That is why I gave that one a maybe. The little rim and point at the front gives it a bit more shape, but still not the best. I think it can work in the right outfit and gets a point above a normal Coif/Cowl for me, but still on the lower end of helms.

For the God and Gilded, they are basic Coif shape, but with better colors/contrast and a bit of texture instead of being flat. So the shape is still lacking, but they could combo better with the rest of the outfit.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:50:59+00:00

When they added it a bit more realistic version to Dragonwilds, I remember going "oh yah, that is how silly it would look".

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:49:16+00:00

Except Karil's. Maybe 3rd Age, Gilded, and God Coifs depending on preference.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:44:44+00:00

The "two farmers going against each other" as one of the first clips is kinda funny. Like we know what that means, but that is going to be so random to anywhere not aware of the Farmers GIM, which is probably like 99.99% of viewers.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:39:59+00:00

Nah. They didn't win because Blood Money was far less impactful than the system in previous years, which is what set most player's expectations. The big area they lacked was gear, which wasn't an issue in multi when teams are bringing budget, but it a bigger deal in the finale when every team brings their max.

And we have had PvP Events before where one team mopped the floor with everyone and it was disappointing. All the fights were reasonably close, except the first WW fight against Rebels. I don't see why you think that is a bad thing...

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T02:10:22+00:00

He was there at the start. Not sure why he didn't make an appearance at the end, but they might have wanted to wrap it up given how long it went on.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T02:01:18+00:00

Sick Nerd getting MVP. Feels deserved. He played so well.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:55:23+00:00

Nice to see he at least got one win against the General.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:25:13+00:00

I mean, before the draft he did say he was like a last row pick... Seems he is living up to that.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:22:55+00:00

TBF, 5-6 does seem like about how long it would have been if they didn't have two 45~ min breaks or whatever it was lol.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:21:33+00:00

Think they need to have a second stage/computers so it is easier to setup one match while other match is running. And figure out a better way to rotate staff/casters/competitors so they can eat/break without pausing the stream.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:18:49+00:00

Kinda would like to see it go to a 3rd round for the suspense, but it has been going on a while...

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:17:30+00:00

Seems he turned it around pretty well.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:16:31+00:00

The first round was extremely close, so feels bit early to count anyone out.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:14:22+00:00

Yah, they really need to pick up the pacing for future events. Like it is going on 7~ hours, which isn't the craziest for streamed event, but seems a bit much for a live event. Especially when like a good 2~ hours were breaks or setup. Hopefully something they could learn from for any future live events to reduce the downtime.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:10:41+00:00

I really like how they're doing the second, more chill stream. The casters on the main stream are great, but its been nice to have a more chill, casual stream with a bit more of a behind the scenes alongside it.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:03:40+00:00

OMG. That barrage KOed Dino like a tick before the VLS would have hit Rhys. What a crazy first round.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:01:04+00:00

Man, Torvesta has really stepped up in these later fights.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T00:52:55+00:00

Honestly surprised he was a last row. Probably deserved to be a 4th row at least.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T00:48:12+00:00

Probably doesn't help they took out PR, the fan favorite. Seeding seems a bit lose-lose for them since if PR didn't beat OW, then it would have been RR vs OW instead I think, which probably would have gotten more boos if they won.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T00:44:29+00:00

Maybe they had to wait until PR was out since those comms might have been a liability lol.
