RMCs problem has always been consistency. I’m hoping they can take what they did this past weekend and continue to dominate. I think they have a shot to beat NRG for sure.
They’re in a spot where if they can escape that quadrant they’ll definitely make Top 8 and quite possibly Top 6. Beyond that no matter who you draw it’s gonna be tough
@@martianturtlerl yeah lol the lower side of that group is so much easier so if they can win their first 2 matches they’re for sure gonna finish minimum top 6, they got the weirdest bracket ever until playoffs the more matches they win the easier it’s gonna get lol
Nice bracket, my picks are pretty similar (and I have the same grand final expectation). My main difference is I put Gen.G out earlier and took complexity to final 4. We'll see!
I think that NAs top 2 teams are in a tier by themselves. I would say teams 3-9 are all capable of beating each other and/or having top 4 weekends. It'll be interesting to see if a 3rd team is able to break into that top tier. A few teams definitely have the talent to do so but lack consistency. My biggest hope is that teams like 9lives or SSG are able to catch some lightning in a bottle with their young players and get some more success for NA.
I definitely think omellete near the top 4 is insane work, but I always love and appreciate the videos and the crazy predictions, because if you don't do it who will
I think top 2 are NRG or Ultimates. Daniel was going crazy, their defense was booty but they can turn it around easily. I still think chronic lacks consistency so the teams ceiling depends on him if they van win this weekend. I also think FK presence has demised compared to earlier in his career. LJ carries ofc. Everyone is overrating Complexity, we have to wait this this first qualifier to see how well they do.
Your power ranking is CoL 3rd, Omlette 4th, SSG 5th? GenG at 6th at best? 😂😂😂 Absolute joke. I rate Omlette more than most people do, but 4th is crazy when you have 9lives and GenG too. And 5th SSG is also absurd, you are so biased there, I like the roster but those kids are insanely inconsistent maybe besides reveal. They are solid but not 5th best in NA. I rate your ball knowledge usually but this NA power ranking is not it.
Chronic is the ExoTiiK of NA Where is the M0nkeyM00n of NA to help the man to finally focus ExoTiiK won Worlds and was the MVP what is Chronic's legacy going to be Time is running out Tick Tock Tick Tock
You gotta give some of these teams more credit. The way you talk about some of them makes it sound like NA is a weaker region than it was last year, but that's definitely not the case
I’m curious which teams you’re referring to that I’m making sound weaker than EU. Not saying you’re totally unfounded in interpreting it that’s way and I do believe that EU 3-7 is stronger than NA 3-7, but once you get into 8-16 it’s much closer imo
@@martianturtlerl not necessarily weaker than EU teams, but weaker than the usual top 16 in NA last year. Basically i think there's better competition this year. team evo is probably what sticks out the most to me after coming back to the video i guess, because i think they have a good chance to make consistent top 8s. somebody has to lose though so eh. in retrospect i mostly agree with how you feel about the top 16. excited to see the main event this weekend :)
Can someone please explain why GenG has to play NRG? I know that KC who also was #1 seed had to play the 15th seed but why? That makes no sense to me. Why does the #1 seed not play #16? People wanted the AFL format bc SSG kept getting railed by the Swiss format into quarterfinals, but that was the first time Swiss showed itself unreliable and this format has just shown that it doesn’t reward good performances either.
I believe all the odd seeds go to one side of the bracket and the evens go to the other side of the bracket, don't know the thought process behind any of it though sadly
Honestly, the SSG hopium (copium) is fine. They didn't play nearly their caliber during Swiss and we should expect them to do better. The EU teams played about as well as I expected. All solid players who would make the main event in EU. NRG played so bad...goodness. If they play similar to how they did in Swiss, I don't think it's weird to predict GenG, Strictly Business, or SSG to do better than them. Shoot, even if they are playing well, Omelette beating NRG in the top 4 isn't a weird shout either. Omelette is a hard counter to the NRG play style, I believe Beastmode has said this multiple times in his videos. Now, is NRG going to show up like we expect? Hopefully...but if not, I do believe Ultimates, Complexity, and shoot, even GenG could make a decent international appearance for NA. This Swiss weekend was so weird though...NA doing NA things.
I’ve spent a lot of time looking at different combinations for what Chronic FK and LJ could be called and have finally decided that if you don’t call them ChronFKillJ you’re wrong FKillJ has to be in there Chronic just has such a hard name to mesh with them
I agree that I’m underrating strictly business based on their Swiss run but out of NRG SSG and GenG, GenG was the only team that beat them (and handily too)
COMPLEXITY WOULD DESTROY OMELETTE
complexity>>>9 lives
I do think ssg can beat complexity. even tho hes biased, he still said ssg loses. I wouldnt consider ssg winning that an upset at all
@@scrubbyrubberducky I'm not talking about ssg
@@scrubbyrubberduckywhere are you getting ssg from lil bro
@@scrubbyrubberduckyMaybe SSgG from last year but SSG now is getting walked.
@TheWatchPartyForever no idea if u mean the last ssg roster or the same roster but just last year.
CodyvRL has a video explaining all the details of how it goes from the swiss stage to the group stage as well.
GenG can prove everyone wrong by beating NRG.
I hope as a geng fan, it’s not likely though
Definitely possible, although unlikely (gen g is my favorite team though so I'm praying!)
GENG FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Slayo5628 They looked insane during the qualifier. Let’s hope they can take the W
@@andreslara95 for sure
i love the dungeon delver wizards cove music its so far from fitting that its fitting
Ethereal music, for a bunch of hyper-competitive testosterone driven guys trying to smash each other into oblivion
Complexity would destroy omelette
Omelette should not be top 4 imo
Shoutout for using music from the Kerbal Space Program soundtrack o/
I told u geng was top 4 na lol, unfortunately their bracket is terrible unless they can upset nrg

Nrg was horrid this weekend bro the fact geng played so well to get #1 and has to face them is kinda crazy
Omelette in the top 8 is accurate but in the top 6-below with there bracket is a stretch. Over complexity is just insane!
Nice bracket, my picks are pretty similar (and I have the same grand final expectation). My main difference is I put Gen.G out earlier and took complexity to final 4. We'll see!
Ive been loving these tournament breakdowns when i dont have time to watch them live!

SSG plot armor😭😭
Respectfully COL destroy omelette.
complexity destroys 9 lives bro

Chronic is the ExoTiiK of NA
Where is the M0nkeyM00n of NA to help the man to finally focus
ExoTiiK won Worlds and was the MVP what is Chronic's legacy going to be
Time is running out Tick Tock Tick Tock
If tech had -2 wouldn’t that make them 16th seed against 1st seed GenG😭, NRG vs Ultimates first round!!!
because its bucholz, matches are seeded:
1v15 2v16
4v14 3v13
5v11 6v12
8v10 7v9
I have no idea why, but yeah
Geng plays 15th seed. All the odd seeds go into group A, and evens go to group B.
You gotta give some of these teams more credit. The way you talk about some of them makes it sound like NA is a weaker region than it was last year, but that's definitely not the case
And yet 3 retired players are qualifying..
@ not much different than kaydop getting top 16. All these players were qualifying (usually?) last season on their own teams

@ thanks. Perfect simple explanation. It makes no sense unfortunately.
SSG better be awake this year, this the last chance for them snow kids
last chance as a team, yes. last chance as individual players, no way

Thanks for all the videos
Keep up the good content
What is this omelette bias lol
I love Retals but he does complain about every format
I’ve spent a lot of time looking at different combinations for what Chronic FK and LJ could be called and have finally decided that if you don’t call them ChronFKillJ you’re wrong
FKillJ has to be in there Chronic just has such a hard name to mesh with them
They’re on an org now gang just call them ultimates
ChronFJ
JhoniK ❤❤❤
bro still does not know how to pronounce buchholz
W stream btw
Don’t think ur right
omelette is so mid bro no way they beat gen g
Or complexity.
Dumb 🤦♂️
overrating geng too much prob lose to strictly business lol
I agree that I’m underrating strictly business based on their Swiss run but out of NRG SSG and GenG, GenG was the only team that beat them (and handily too)
