I wish we could have more map variety. Or is there any reason why is it only those 4 maps?

They might be the ones in the i52 rotation.

Because they are more comfortable playing these maps i guess

There will be a maximum of 4 maps in this bo5 because of mix^'s one map advantage, so I assume they'll just play all 4 with no repeats.

5-0(1?) 5-4 mix both maps.

on a side note, woulda been stupid as shit if teams that just lost at lan won a spot to i52 based off of online performances, lol.

ok? thanks for that super insightful info. that definitely makes having an online qualifier for a lan event over using lan results from a week ago the smart thing to do!

like that post is so retarded it makes me want to punch a hole in my monitor and go slash a random person's tires.

I agree with your, Marm. Though I think the true purpose of the event was to raise funds for the teams going, the "qualifying" thing seems to me more of a way to make it matter. Of course this community rocks my socks off and already raised enough for the teams before the qualifier so it wasn't really necessary in the end.

oh yeah no doubt, i know that this was to generate hype/donations but still, what if xts won? would we really send our 4th place lan team over mixup? i'd be mad as fuck if i was mixup and even angrier if i was xts and told "yo you won buttttt we're still sending mix"

Let me comment on this.

Do I think we are 4th best in NA? No. I firmly believe we are 3rd. We've scrimmed 20b quite a bit throughout the season, and while they would almost always keep it close, we would usually win in the end (regardless if we are talking scrims or matches). All 4 LAN teams would usually keep things close throughout the season, no matter who played who. The important thing to note is that this LAN was incredibly competitive, because if any team had any kind of misstep or let the smallest thing slip by, that could be the difference between winning and losing.

We fucked up at LAN. Period. We had a lot of mistakes and 20b took advantage of that. None of us are "online" or any dumb bullshit like that. 20b was on their shit, and we just got clumsy at the worst times. They stepped it up when it mattered the most, and I give them a lot of praise for that.

Would it have been a mistake if we beat mix^ today and we went to i52? Absolutely not. We are extremely capable of beating mix^, but they were the better team.

All I give a shit about is sending the best two teams in NA to i52. If that happened to be us, then awesome. If not, then awesome. If we went, we would have done every single possible thing within our power to take it home for NA. I just want another NA grand finals. That's all I want from this.

Imagine if mixup, xts or 20b pulled a dreamteam-move like mixup did after the s11-lan for i46. You are now dealing with different rosters, possible different results, now how would you decide who gets to go to i52? An online qualifier it's the best option.
At the end no one changed rosters, but still if you look at it, it was a good move because the community deserved to know that they are sending WITH their money the best teams NA can offer.

Mixup's LAN roster was going to be different then the roster they used in the qualifier.

no doubt dude, i just know for i49 every team was basically told the tournament was a sham and it didn't really matter who won so we had a fuckin melee only match at one point lmao.

this is some real talk incoming, so don't get pissy/bitchy/whatever cuz im callin it like i see it.

i'm not calling you guys online, i'm saying you choked on lan. if you firmly believe you're 3rd, you shoulda taken home 3rd na mean? performing under pressure AT LAN is what i52 is all about for the good ol U S of A. you say "i think we're capable of beating mixup" but then place last at lan so it's kinda hard to take that serious when in the high pressure IMPORTANT matches you guys fell short.

just seems silly that we more or less duplicate the environment our boys will be playing in over in EU and then say "ok ignore the results except 1st, we're having an online event to determine who's second"

regardless i hope the star spangled banner is all over that grand finals stage and someone just fucking spikes a can of budweiser on the main stage and whips their dick out and helicopters that shit when they win the final round of the lan.

so why does froyotech get a pass? what if they replace somebody, or 2 or even 3 of the imaginary "dream team" rosters from 20b/mixup/xts are better than froyo?
