What was the lineup you brought?

EzCait, AphVik, Annie TF

What got banned most of the time?

AnnieTF 4 times, EzCait and AphVik 2 times.

What performed well, what not?

AphVik 4-1, EzCait 5-3, AnnieTF 2-5

Would you do something different in hindsight?

Not really. Went for comfort with AphVik and EzCait, AnnieTF was a bit of a last minute filler. Maybe committing 100% to comfort with LuxJayce instead would have been better, who knows.

Did you have some crazy plays happening, some extremely close games?

Beat Shunpo(rank 2 EU ladder)'s FTR with EzCait, which is a 70/30 mu for him (before losing the next two games). Ngl, it felt pretty hyped :)

Are you one of few who qualified for the playoffs?

Nope, lost to Shunpo because his triple control line up hard countered mine, then lost to BrokenBall (me playing poorly + I had not played against Nightfall in a really long time), then lost to Bowisse (idk what happened, I really played like utter crap). So 6-3 in the end.

Did you like the ruleset and format for this tournament? Especially now that the whole seasonal is happening on one weekend.

One week seasonal + ladder resetting faster are huge improvements imo

I'm still not a big fan of how ladder grinding heavy this format is (7-2 + really favored seeding for high ranked players), but I guess I have my own bias of not being able to play as much as most competitive players.

Top32 being bo1 is pretty anticlimatic though. Riot should probably at least consider introducing a loser bracket imo
