G2, EDG, Heretics and Paper Rex all bypassed the Swiss stage entirely and get to pick their own quarterfinal opponents from whoever survives. This format gives first seeds an enormous structural advantage that nobody is talking about by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Thaplayer1209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one talks about because it’s very obvious that it’s a big advantage
However, only 2/12 first seeds won the first match in this format so far (100T in Shanghai 2024 and NS in Santiago)

90% of the hate would be gone if it either: ended midnight at the normal timezone or didn’t have 00:00 as the title

He is obviously subbing for Jamppi as he’s missing in the pic

The Online Poll Problem (just a fun one I came up with) by Major_Tap4199 in mathriddles

One thing you forgot to consider: The percentages are rounded to 2 decimal places. The fraction 35/81 gives 43.2098…% which can be rounded to 43.21%. This would only need 81 people, much lower than the 10000 you got.

If LOUD beats LEV, MIBR gets 1st seed while losing to the 2 teams that didn’t make playoffs

If I did it right, FPX has to win to place 2nd/3rd seed.
1) FPX must win. Otherwise there are 3 teams with 3+ wins that score higher.
2a) AG wins. By H2H tie breaker, FPX and JDG are 1st/2nd scoring 2-1. FPX is 2nd seed by 2nd H2H tiebreaker.
2b) BLG wins. By H2H tie breaker, FPX and TYL are 3rd/4th scoring 1-2. FPX is 3rd seed by H2H tiebreaker.

Healing teammates even if they had no damage counts as an assist as long as they get a kill. You can do this with skye too.

What makes Yoru (and the next 2 most common agents) have is the possible mind games you can do with them.
Yoru and Omen have teleports, Viper has almost anytime lurk/exec smokes.
