The whole point of this is to find people who are interested in providing writeups for Open / IM. Those were TRIAL PIECES from aim, Christ. Not to mention he didn't even rank any team outside of the top 2. If you're gonna bitch about your team not making it / name being spelled wrong / misinfirmation wait until whoever does the official writeup to "provide constructive criticism." It's pretty disgusting how people act over something as simple as a trial writeup / drafts, especially when they themselves are doing none of the writing.

Weren't you the one asking to write some stuff for Open, Uni?

Anyway mana keeps saying he'll put a writer's call but I don't know what's happening with that..

Schedules are out.

Ascent vs. Freestate's team
Ascent vs. Froyotech
wood pig vs. Street Hoops

Looking forward to those matches.

As far as I know nobody officially yet, but if you're interested in writing for IM / Open this season, stay tuned.

Edit: "You" meaning anyone that is interested, not you specifically flatline.

According to what tsc told me, the event needs to be covered by an organization to be put up on the upcoming events sidebar. So unless EVL or someone provides coverage I guess we can't have them there. :\

Medic POVs please!

I got curious and did some homework on Froyotech's (map) losses / record.

ESEA Regular Season: 60-4
- 2 maps in S17: both to eLevate.
- 2 maps in S19: to Ascent. (*Includes the forfeit to Hawaii Beach Vacation.)
ESEA LAN / Playoffs: 26-5 (13-1 series) (Includes the "BO3" against Five Dollar Club)
- 2 maps in S16: both to Classic Mixup.
- 3 maps in S19 playoffs: 1 to Street Hoops, the others to Ascent.
iSeries LAN: 27-6-1 (9-2-1 in groups, 17-3 series)
- 2 maps at i52: both during group stages, against Immunity and Epsilon.
- 4 maps at i55: one to Reason, rest to nerdRage. Bonus: they tied against TLR)
CEVO-P S5 LAN: 6-0 (3-0 series) (I'm not sure on this so I just looked to comp.tf)
TFTV Twitch Invitational: ?-2: both to Classic Mixup. (I couldn't quite find brackets, and also there were group stages?)

That's some record of like ~119-17.

We had some close series at i52 but nothing quite like this. Let's get the best damn Grand Finals yet.

Someone make the "Legend of duwatna" clip please and thank you.

What happens with the tie?

My team will be fully paid up if we can get our Demo tonight.

When I was in Hong Kong playing Highlander (questionable decision), my team captain got everyone on the team Hong Kong Cones and we dominated matches, and we also played matches-only. I'm sure it'll have the same effect for you guys. Good luck boys!

I got 3 Epics, 1 Gold Rare and 1 Gold Common out of 33 packs. This game hates me. Actually most of my unpacks were trash. Will most likely be laddering with Tempo Mage to get that Golden Mage portrait. There's a variety of options right now so this is exactly what the meta needed to spice stuff up.
