Well, these two series' have been decided. G2 x IG and LGD is on the loser's bracket while Team Zero and Azure Ray on the last final match for their ticket to TI and as explained with these two latter teams, they've got better chances based on the bracketing win or lose.
The underdog train isn't stopping as Team Zero booked their ticket for TI after beating Azure Ray.
Tomorrow's lower bracket series between Team Turtle and G2.IG will be a fun one to watch, i'm hoping G2.IG pulls through since I need them or Azure Ray to make it in.
Congratulations to Team Zero, we were not expecting that to happen and thought that Azure Ray is going to take that slot. But then, Azure Ray still has a chance but they have to wait for the winners of G2 x IG and Team Turtle. And this is just sad that for the first time since 2021, LGD Gaming isn't able to participate this year's TI. I guess they know how it feels now as an organization that has been consistently part of the TI but now, they don't. We're about to see who's going to take the last slot in the China region within the next few hours.
And the great battle for 1 ticket to TI in the North American region is about to happen within the next 30 minutes. The finals is going to be with Shopify Rebellion and nouns. IIRC, nouns beat SR for their qualifiers to Riyadh masters but maybe this time is going to be different.
This is going to be a best of five series so let's wait for that.
As for the NA qualifiers, I picked Nouns instead of SR. Its kinda 50 50 at this point with Nouns winning the latest Riyadh qualifiers against SR so it was based on that I decided to go with Nouns. I gotta admit that the last SR vs Nouns games on the upper bracket totally shows that SR is better though atleast for now
That's right, it's hard to pick in any of them but we'll see who's going to take that slot. But still good luck to all bettors and to them.
