retarded kid, lul How did they ''drop out'' of the asian minor? Link a source, retard

Asian minor is at the same time as the actual epicenter event, no? i.imgur.com/KM6uvM5.png (not trying to be rude, you seem like a fan so you probably know better than I do)

Yes it's. From what i believe, they already knew the matchups of this and knew they were meeting faze, probably just playing this as ''practice'' I guess. But they definitely didn't drop out of the asian minor, it would've been said when HLTV wrote an article about ''Tyloo will go to epicenter anyways'' But also, TyLoo main focus has ALWAYS been major, ofcourse for all the teams, so they would not miss the minor As i said, either they will play just the game vs Faze as practice, or asian minor will get delayed or something, idk

Ah okay, thanks for the reply. That seems fair, would like to see them play more international opposition.

2017-10-18 16:15

You know, i could be completely wrong, they haven't announced anything (tyloo) so from what i know, they will play epicenter wild card/epicenter main event AND asian minor, but as you said, i have no idea how they will do it aswell...

2017-10-18 16:16

3 replies

This is what scares me I would rather see them at the Minor then at epicenter

2017-10-18 16:46

+1 Probably just pracitce vs faze for the asian minor They changed some stuff now with bondik and peacemaker, so they probably want to test it VS faze, check demo for errors etc so they win ez minor

2017-10-18 16:47

Yes yes and make it major, need tyloo skins ty

2017-10-18 23:27

isnt asian minor runs the same date as epicenter?

2017-10-18 16:23

Yep #61 I don't know how they can play both, maybe asian minor delayed

2017-10-18 16:24

Yes,but tyloo will not play EPICENTER. They will lose against faze and then go to minor

2017-10-18 16:38

probably xd

2017-10-18 17:34

+1 that lineup do not stand a chance vs FaZe.

2017-10-18 18:01

This means that they will throw match 100% and possibly betting on FaZe to earn some money for flight tickets. Valve please ban tyloo for 100 years.

2017-10-18 18:50

lmao

2017-10-19 10:43

Lan right?

yes

2017-10-18 17:43

TyLoo GOT THIS.

just so ez for tyloo

odds faze: 97% tyloo: 3% ez yolo

Bo1 or bo3?

2017-10-18 19:44

Given the three hour time slot between games my guess is bo3

2017-10-18 22:03

ez4vega ¯\_(^_^)_/¯

2017-10-18 16:07

ez 4 tyloo

2017-10-18 16:08

EZ af for BnTeT

NaVi? Kappa

2017-10-18 16:09

Draw ????? Ridiculous.

2017-10-18 16:10

rip tyloo

rip tyloo...

Is it just me or has the qualification for this event, the wildcard-qualifier even, been overly complicated?

Lmao poor TyLoo.

2017-10-18 16:14

ez for tyloo

2017-10-18 19:00

no chance against BnTeT ez for tylul

I really wonder. Why take #1 vs #123 and #8 vs #23 ??????? Why not #1 vs #8 and the rest? So stupid, because obviously liquid will rape VEGA, and Faze is just unreal right now they will beat TyLoo probably(im really big fan but i have to admit the truth)

28 replies

thats because organisers want to see Faze and Liquid there. more views

2017-10-18 16:22

I know it's like 99% this what you said, but sometimes I just hate it. Like before, EVERY game TyLoo played it was always first vs sk for free lose (when they were dominating) Like come on, i know they want views, but you can't be this blatant Liquid vs faze would be a good game, same with vega vs tyloo Sad that its only about the money, than the actual game

yep man this sucks

cause you don't match up a shit team vs a shit team so early on

2017-10-18 16:27

because tyloo has to lose to faze and then attend asia minor

2017-10-18 16:39

As i said, maybe they just take it as practice to see how their new gameplay is working (look at demo after)

2017-10-18 16:42

you asked why tyloo is playing against faze. I gave you the reason....tyloo will paly faze on 24 and has to attend asia minor on 26

2017-10-18 16:44

Yes as i said on #61 man, its because they will play it for practice

The tourney will be better with faze and liquid over two teams which won't even make it to playoffs.

2017-10-18 16:55

Saying Tyloo wont make it to playoffs when it was so long last time they played, gj

2017-10-18 17:05

Haha alright mate

2017-10-18 17:14

Maybe because vega need more chances to go to the main event? For organizers and for the fans in Russia it would be better if vega qualify than china pros? Simple logic, no? and also tyloo need to go to the minor when vega already in closed quals for major, so they gonna throw and leave.

2017-10-18 17:19

rofl Come on, vega will get raped by liquid It would be a better chance to meet Tyloo, since no one knows how they will play

2017-10-18 17:25

Youre so annoying, god damn, No, you dont know if it would be better. The ony thing i can say is that Vega got a lot of chances against liquid, since its vega's home country and looking at their past matches against mouse and na'vi, i can say that they will put a very good fight. Stop being blind

2017-10-18 17:31

against mouse and na'vi, Youre so annoying, god damn, lot of chances against liquid, And im the annoying one? rofl, you are more than delusional, vega will get 2-0'd, raped, rekt, whatever by liquid But yes, sure thing, vega gonna win vs liquid LOL

2017-10-18 17:32

retard

2017-10-18 17:33

Call me retard but you dont explain why, logic by ruski xD

Because read about seeding system and don't ask questions like these

2017-10-18 18:00

Dude my ''seeding'' is correct

2017-10-18 18:03

I aren't think that

2017-10-18 18:04

u arent think cus u ice ice :DDDD no knows

2017-10-18 18:05

haHAA

INB4 Vega wins over Liquid to ruin their plans.

2017-10-18 18:02

Dude i hope so, just to ruin it for these shitters Would be even funnier if Tyloo actually wins vs faze, then epicenter staff crying whole night :DDDD

Very unlikely but if it happens, Epicenter staff will not be the only people crying :D (FaZe fans will literally make "OMG RIP FAZE FUCKING SHITTERS" threads all day, night long for the next 2 weeks xD) Liquid losing to Vega is actually very likely, if Liquid meets up with the form they sometimes do, where none of them actually plays proper CS. :D

Yeah thats true. BUt if liquied plays like vs sk, they will rape vega IMO

2017-10-18 18:25

Yeah that is also true, Vega stands no chance against the Liquid who beats SK consistently.

2017-10-18 20:57

That's how seeds work my dude

2017-10-18 19:21

ez tyloo

2017-10-18 16:18

TyLoo Ranked #123 AGO Ranked #26

2017-10-18 16:52

Yes, because TyLoo made it to a major final, TyLoo won many tournaments, TyLoo is in the top 30... (OBVIOUSLY IRONIC)

2017-10-18 18:57

faze and liquid ... fcking system it should be faze vs liquid and vega vs tyLoo

2017-10-18 16:40

because tyloo has to attend ASIA MINOR after losing against faze. Asia minor is on 26 october. They cant attend epicenter main event anyways.

byebye tyloo 32-0

2017-10-18 16:41

Why don't they do a 4 team group?

So that its 100% sure that liquid and faze both qual Why otherwise would it be Faze tyloo, Liq vega? :DD

what the fuck are they even doing there then

2017-10-18 16:57

no idea they want to practice against faze maybe...try to get 10 rounds

2017-10-18 16:59

Ez for FaZe and Liquid

youtube.com/watch?v=L1eg-x9VwTk Rain will be MVP of EPICENTER

Just 70 to go then!

Tyloo and vega got a wildcard over good teams? LUL

they qualified for the wildcard as did faze and liquid.

2017-10-18 18:15

Regional qualifiers.. and Vega beat NaVi.

2017-10-18 18:24

Not hard to win 1v5 tbh

2017-10-18 19:14

Why did tyloo invite qualifier ? They ranked 123 LoL

2017-10-18 18:10

it's something attracting an interest because it has an international squad

2017-10-18 21:49

thats definitely a fix, but a good fix none the less.

ofc faze gets the worst opponent. rigged 3rd world tourny

2017-10-18 18:16

it makes sense for the best team out of the 4 to get the worst and then the two middle teams play

2017-10-18 18:44

Somehow im surprised liquid didn't get faze

lul +1

at last the asian NiKo will play against his own maker :)

Get rekt TyLoo
