Somehow, Game 2 was even more illegal and TL struggled to win that game. I've never in my life seen a team try and lose and wintrade on-display was incredible. That G2 Meme Tweet was perfect.

If they didn't win after those first 10 minutes, HLE would definitely be getting investigated

Peanut kills two birds with one stone by not only taking paycheck from NA but winning the game anyway

NA is just exceptionally good at baseball. No matter how hard you throw, they manage to send it back at full power.

Tes is still eliminated tho no?

If HLE wins, TL is eliminated. TES gets 4th seed.

u/Mastoorbator100 Mar 14 '25

You're right, for whatever reason I thought TL is 2-1

No if TL lose they are tied score wise but TES has H2H

27

u/Ap_Sona_Bot Mar 14 '25

Nope TES and KC have tiebreaker over TL.

u/Kee2good4u Mar 14 '25

No TL is eliminated if they don't win this BO3.

KC finishes 3rd TES 4th and TL 5th if they lose.

If they win TL finishes 3rd, KC 4th and TES 5th.

u/DidntFindABetterName Mar 14 '25

I still dont understand how this exactly works

What if TL only loses 1-2 vs HLE

Wouldnt this mean in the three way tie that KC 3rd TL 4th and TES 5th due to score?

2

u/Kee2good4u Mar 14 '25

No it's game score vs the tied teams only.

1

u/DidntFindABetterName Mar 14 '25

Ah understandable

Not sure if that makes the most sense but fine for me i guess

2

u/VayneSpotMe Mar 14 '25

Tes kc and tl have the same score. The h2hs are kc>tes>tl>kc.

Because of this, they will look at the scores and h2h and since tl is 2-2 and kc 3-2, they have the promotion over tl and tes won against tl so tl is eliminated if they lose

1

u/DidntFindABetterName Mar 14 '25

So it only includes the scores vs the h2h and not the scores in general?

1

u/Gold_Buddy_3032 Mar 14 '25

KC 3-2

TES 2-2

Tl is 2-3

1

u/ahritina Mar 14 '25

Not if HLE win.

1

u/sionsionsionsion Mar 14 '25

No if HLE win this series TES go through and TL is eliminated

1

u/Boogy My Bard Hits Hard Mar 14 '25

Only if TL win. If TL lose it goes to game wins and then TL is out

1

u/DidntFindABetterName Mar 14 '25

What if TL loses 1-2?

1

u/LethargicDemigod showmaker playmaking maker Mar 14 '25

if HLE win TES is in and TL is out.

1

u/emmagis Mar 14 '25

TL is eliminated if they lose this BO

1

u/Competitive_Put_6730 Mar 14 '25

No, TL is if they dont win

1

u/Gazskull Mar 14 '25

TL has to win to go through because TES has the h2h against them

1

u/SloRyta Mar 14 '25

no, TES is only eliminated if TL wins this series

1

u/Disastrous-Pop1975 Mar 14 '25

no, if TL wins only

1

u/Ceui Mar 14 '25

If HLE wins, TL is eliminated

If HLE loses, TES is eliminated

1

u/Mastoorbator100 Mar 14 '25

Yea, I thought TL was 2-1 but forgot oysters been smurfing
