LETS GO O PLANO

Is this fixed so technically no NA team could advance or what?

6 replies

apparently based on hltv ranking for seeding, weird choice

2021-05-11 19:50

yes, technically all br teams could qualify which means no NA team would actually qualify but let's be real that's not gonna happen

2021-05-11 19:53

I dont know man, crazier things have happened. We need more than just Liquid and EG as the NA teams, 3 would be nice. Brazil does deserve a lot of spots though, insanely good teams..

First of all, I appreciate the respect for our teams! That's actually kinda rare to find lol. Second I think the bracket was designed according to the HLTV rankings which coincidentally led to BR and NA teams being separated. I actually think that's kinda cool tbh, would be funny to see all 4 br teams qualify

I think Brazil could easily have 3 top 10 teams, they also have 2 players on top 10 teams as well I think (FalleN and Cold). I'd say they are the 3rd strongest region after Scandinavia and CIS right now I think we need these NA teams to qualify otherwise no org is gonna pick them up and there's a chance NA will die if this happens. Brazil do deserve it though so I wouldn't be that sad if no NA team got through. VAMOS BRASIL!!!

2021-05-11 20:27

<3 Also if I'm not mistaken both BnB and O Plano are orgless but they're the only orgless teams in this event

2021-05-11 20:33

extra salt top 1

EZ FOR BAD NEWS BEARS

I will keep this in mind

2021-05-11 19:40

In sorry, but did you see how much Triumph got rected in the open qualifier?

2021-05-11 19:43

Yes. And Omegalul Plano is not good enough to even beat that >:)

2021-05-11 19:44

But mens))

2021-05-11 19:51

but they already did, 2 - 0 too

They defeated Triumph like 9 days ago btw

2021-05-11 19:45

That wasn't a closed qualifier that determined a direct spot in the tourney. Omegalul Plano shall disappoint.

2021-05-11 19:49

That was an open qualifier that determined a direct spot in the closed qualifier. Equally important match.

i can't believe im reading this

EZ 4 THE PLAN

ez for "the plan"

EZ4BNB

2021-05-11 19:41

O PLANO

god ptr & co will show who is real top 1 in NA

2021-05-11 19:42

I like the half and half

lmao they fixed the bracket so each match would be NA vs BR. It'll be great for viewership at least in the opening round, smart idea.

This will be a really good tourny, I could see any team with the exception of godsent making it through

2021-05-11 19:47

godsent had dogscent results but to be fair they haven't played in quite a while and they're still a relatively new team so I think they could do something but idk we'll see

2021-05-11 19:55

Triumph v O plano again, can't wAIT!

2021-05-11 19:52

ez for triumph and extra sugar

If they do then they deserve it, I don't think Brazil will make it though, the only Brazilian team that has a chance is O PLANO

Did you say O PLANO?

2021-05-11 21:39

yeah i agree, maybe godsent, they only played on EU and even if they sucked there there is a difference between tier 2 eu and tier 2 NA

2021-05-12 03:23

GODSENT won't even beat Bad News Bears

2021-05-12 03:28

Pain????

2021-05-12 16:19

best 3 teams in one of the two brackets, noice

2021-05-11 20:02

Doesnt matter, all you have to do is win 2 games out of 3 possible

Nice and fair Brackets! BR vs NA! I expect Triumph, O Plano, ES and paiN to qualify.

2021-05-11 20:17

thanks to the brazilians na is actually pretty strong, even for a qualifier

No BR x BR what a miracle!! Expect Extra Salt and paiN to qualify and great matches between the rest.

LEGGO BRRRRR

2021-05-11 21:32

1st round winners: Extra Salt, O Plano, BNB and Pain 2nd round winners: UB: O Plano and Pain (very close games could go either way) LB: GODSENT and T1 3rd round winners: LB: Extra Salt (or O Plano) and GODSENT Classified teams: O Plano, Extra Salt. Pain, GODSENT* * GODSENT, Pain and BNB, could be any combination of those 3, since Pain and BNB are on a very close level and GODSENT's strength is still unknown (they have played only in EU so far)
