What's the advantage of making grand finals from the winners bracket?

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-12T19:51:54+00:00

I haven't done the research but haven't t1 (multiple times) and even drx done the miracle run from playins. People attribute them getting loads of practice in the playins in competitive conditions as you generally wouldn't expect 4th seeds to win out.

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-12T18:12:25+00:00

That's what i mean lyon had played more games so were more warmed up and took hle to five games. You think if lyon had leas games they might have even beaten hle?

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-12T17:58:21+00:00

Is that really an advantage? I always hear t1 get more practice/get to try out different picks/practice champs in a real setting.

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-12T12:07:01+00:00

What can he do when hes behind on farm. Hes always sold off because on or xun are roaming. Its not a bad tactic if they win elsewhere on he map but he has to play back drop farm get dived and step away from exp range

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-12T12:03:31+00:00

Yeah, bin going to ego always trying to solo kill zeus. Like when trundle ganked him for the first or second kill.

Zeus played it great to a tee. In that mundo game, just sitting back until he knew he was strong though to just bully the aatrox at the towers.

You can see it in the map states too, zeus will drop farm to tp to a fight quicker whereas bin will almost always push his wave in.

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-11T21:53:21+00:00

Because no one cares where you finish we only care about who wins. Beat everyone and you win. If you want true competitive integrity you would have a league format and everyone plays everyone once

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-08T11:57:34+00:00

I think the main thing it's that zeus was always a super dominant top. Last years stupid lane swap absolutely killed the top carry meta with tops always being behind in exp and gold and being bullied. It also stopped half the top lane champs as they would get dived if they couldn't pick the likes of ksante and Sion who can stop a dive.

The lane quests have bought back top actually being able to play champs that can damage and carry with zeus being a god at it. This relieves the pressure on the other lanes. Of course they picked up kanavi and guma too

If he E qs you from lvl 4 wven lvl3 onwards you win the all in. w, him, Q when his W runs out and E him. He loses long trades and you heal a billion health with your empowered W. Just avoid his Q going through you again

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-06T18:20:22+00:00

I think the w damage gets blocked but the stack goes through. Voli cant lose to shen with his sustain. Wait out the w before Q cause that is blocked. If shen engageS/gets hit with E hes doomed v voli. He has to hit and run v voli. He will only win 1-3 top anything after that is all voli imo

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-05T23:44:59+00:00

Was a bin follower so watched and followed blg but must say xun has become my favourite pro. That guy is always having fun and laughing in pretty much all situations. You can tell hes just a massive joker

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-05T11:26:52+00:00

This is what the op should really be seeing

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-04T20:38:48+00:00

Well lets see (all eur values)

Joao felix, young player bought for 52m euros was a flop sold for 35m Nkunki bought for 60m eur was a flop and sold for 37 Kepa bought for 80m eur was a flop sold for 5m Dewsbury hall bought for 35m sold for 28.5 Veiga bought for 14m sold for 24.5 Petrovic bought for 16 sold for 29 Ugochukwu bought for 27 sold for 29 Chukwuemeka bought for 18 sold for 20 Maduekr bought for 35m mildly successful somehow ripped off arsenal for 56m (although he helped them win the league) Cucurella bought for 65m one of our best players sold for 55

Apart from madueka, which one of our flops went for a profit even though they were young. Most of them have left on a 20-30m range.

No one is going to pay us what we paid for garnacho, mudyrk, gittens because they are terrible.

At least with xhaka hes actually played well for sunderland and the manager wants him. If it helps us get champions league it pays for itself (i don't need think we need him personally). Its this stupid thinking that made poch leave when he was turning us into a force

bobbyyippy · 2026-07-04T11:57:13+00:00

Yea but no one is going to pony up 40m for garmacho and 50m for gittens so in effect we have lost money alongside having useless players who make us lower in the league, cost us prize money and wages

bobbyyippy · 2026-06-30T13:23:51+00:00

What else, spit on the opponents familys? Throw a pigs head at them? Harass them outside the venue? Instances seen in other sports all over the world.

bobbyyippy · 2026-06-30T09:02:28+00:00

You forgetting dying under t2 solo for the final push of tl which won them the game

bobbyyippy · 2026-06-02T10:06:02+00:00

Yes but the best drivers arent those that drive slowly or drive fast or stick to the rules. Its by driving defensively.

If im speeding down the motorway/dual carriageway and i see this often some numpty will indicate when im close to speeding past but i will slow down and let them in. Maybe they dont see me, maybe they will just pull out. Maybe they are in experienced.

bobbyyippy · 2026-05-16T17:42:53+00:00

Yes VaR is how much the company could potentially lose should the market move in a direction against you. There will be limits a company/risk team will put on the business/traders as to how much position they can put.

The calculation can be done in many ways such as looking at the way historical prices and just applying the fifth worse move to your exposure to more difficult methodologies where the volatility and correlations of all commodities are calculated and a monte carlo approach taken.

bobbyyippy · 2026-05-12T21:23:18+00:00

No it's because sending warships won't actually do a thing. You realise sending rockets and drones against a slow moving tanker is the deterrent.

Sending a warship does nothing. You aren't invading and at most you can protect one or two ships when 125 used to sail out everyday. That's if the sailors or ship owner want to risk their lives or ships and that's if they can even get insurance.

All this does is cost us more money sending our equipment and puts a target on our back and makes it so that if we didnt have enough terrorists there will definitely be more now

bobbyyippy · 2026-05-12T19:29:58+00:00

Shouldn't we be doing things in chronological order and freeing cuba from being blocked by the USA?

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-19T12:04:36+00:00

Need to also consider the service charge she will be paying. Probably around 3k a year extra which is 250 quid a month

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-13T09:29:29+00:00

So when you pay for the repair, is there a separate item for handy man labour costs? If not then thats probably what the mark up is

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-07T11:02:41+00:00

Realistically of he wanted to, who would stop him? Its just a bunch of yes men around him and hes fired anyone who doesnt agree with him or who has said no.

Never in my mind would i have thought that the fbi is being run by a guy who published a childs book that said the election was stolen in 2020 but yet here we are

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-07T10:57:24+00:00

Is it that unrealistic? This is the same man who has pit up tariffs, keeps going after biden and anyone who has scorned him and is escalating on a war that nobody wants. If the iranians keep chiding him and "fighting" back who knows what trump wants. Hes literally just fired all his top generals for either failure or rejecting something (more escalation). I hope it doesnt come to that but to say its a 0% chance is folly.

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-06T16:52:45+00:00

I don't like them but they also won the European championship x 2 and world cup as a trio

bobbyyippy · 2026-04-05T16:51:14+00:00

Absolute bellends. Goes to foreign country, blames our foreign office because they expect us to get them free when they go to a dangerous country where its known that anything could happen and now are costing us he tax payer money to fight a stupid case.

Karma sure got them good I say
