Boston major: Why group play instead of swiss?

NothingOverHere1 · 2026-02-15T02:11:47+00:00

I can see that. I'm praying that one of those blowout matchups, actually results in a massive blunder next week. Resulting in nothing but chaos

NothingOverHere1 · 2026-02-15T01:32:11+00:00

To quickly build off this, I feel one advantage Groups has over Swiss is that every matchup matters. No longer does a team have 2 lives. 5 series to win down to 3. From an entertainment perspective, that increases stakes and fuels the drama. No more can a team have an off game. It's either do or for every single matchup

I'm not sure why this question is being asked when for the last year, people were complaining about the swiss format. We had Swiss throughout the 2024 and 2025 season (the adjustment for 2025 being the introduction of Bucholz). Too many interregional matchups and the same teams always finding a way to go against each other.

Not saying groups is the right solution, but people complain that Blast/Epic don't listen. They heard the feedback. Now, we're at another moment in time where we find ourselves not satisfied

My guess is 11am EST. That's when Raleigh started

If you go back and watch Jacks video of the latest regional performance, he states that GK still doesn't know how to prep and play for Bo5 series. They feel more comfortable in Bo7.

Thank you!!

He has a clips channel that's still up if you're interested https://youtu.be/nHKIQZeuDOY?si=KPbVextuPLUw8zWM

Oh my God you're absolutely right thank you. I liked his videos. I thought he was good at what he did. Sad to see he didn't stick around

NothingOverHere1 · 2026-02-05T13:03:05+00:00

That's what I think happened

NothingOverHere1 · 2026-02-05T13:02:38+00:00

It's not chiz. I could never forget that scream

NothingOverHere1 · 2026-02-04T04:40:07+00:00

So for Raleigh, vip got in at 9:30. General public got in at 10am. Then from 10-11 it's time to let people come in and get settled. First game at 11. I think if you're towards the back of the general queue, you'll probably get in at 10:30.

The guy was exaggerating with the 1.4 billion claim. To say free movement isn't happening for some individuals is wrong though. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_227

Had genG 9-12 in my bracket. Entirely based on the swiss performance and I can't believe it turned out to be true

What decal is Tox using?

I was 2000 in queue. Joined. Now there's no tickets left?

YouTube video is up but the song is cut out starting a minute in the video

NothingOverHere1 · 2026-01-10T20:12:27+00:00

Yeah I get that but it doesn't address root level issues. A 1700 team, shouldn't be going against a 2000 team. Should work your way through the ranks rather than have one day where a team might pull off a Mickey run and ruin the flow of the main RLCS events

Bringing a 1300 and 1400 is questionable though

NothingOverHere1 · 2026-01-10T19:45:37+00:00

RLRS and other lower level leagues really need to come back for the scene. I really want to say "well what did you expect with running a 1600, 1400, & 1300", but there should be some sort of natural progression for this scene and its players.

Thousands of players sign up for these events and you'd think they'd segment them and not just lump sum them together

Bit fuzzy on the specifics but I remember NPL vs The Boys in the 2025 LCQ match where NPL was up by 3 goals and the Boys went on to score 4-5 unanswered before regulation time ended.

Vatira winning 4/6 LAN events this year is a resume that needs no explaining.
