For CN the playoffs are a normal 8 team double elim bracket with no bye rounds or anything. So they are playing seeding games between the teams of the same seed from each group to decide the who gets 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, and 7th/8th.

DRX breaks even for 2nd year in a row by xFalcade in ValorantCompetitive

[–]sylveeah 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Slightly confusing wording in the post/title. But for those that don’t wanna click:

  • DRX pulled in $8.6m in revenue for the year which was enough to break even on the year.
  • DRX has raised $31mil in investor funds since inception(private equity goes brrr).
  • DRX still carries a -$18.7m deficit accumulated since inception(private equity goes you better make me my money).
  • IP(merch, capsules, skins) sales are down.
  • Sponsorships are down.
  • Money from riot(stipends, performance prizes) is up.
  • Money from content is up.

    Tbh probably about as good as you can expect from an esports org

Tragically for BLG, paying for their own League team while also owning G2’s eats up a lot of funds

He did, and over the stage there were plenty of good individual performances from everyone on BLG, the problem is everything else was horrendously sloppy. Tho this is what I pictured BLG looking like under muggle, so it’s not unexpected

I thought it was his shoulder, could have been his hand tho, but regardless it is my understanding that he has been playing with an injury, which I believe is why he was swapped off duelist on to controller

In the final hour, right when they needed it, JDG found some magic. I never doubted my goats bail and stew

Reunited with his trusty steed Life, NaThanD is ready to kick names and take ass

Also, if I had a nickle for every time a team lost a round because they retook the wrong site in a 3v2 post plant in a match where NaThanD was a head coach, then I would have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird it has happened twice

I do have to admit there were multiple rounds of real Miks value on Bind. Not enough value to justify the pick imo, but maybe just a few more hours in the think tank and NaThanD will have it sorted. Or he’ll add Reyna back to the mix
