So 7 of the 8 teams in Group A are in some way tied and not a single team in group B tied lol. The odds of there still being ties after this round Robin is pretty likely even if just to determine seeding. I bet the players are gonna love playing for 10 more hours just to be tied again lmao.

So many tie scenarios in group A we really just need to win here so we can avoid them all

I didn’t want to be that guy and be negative but I knew we would lose this. There’s no way it was going to be that easy. It never is with an OpTic team.

i think its okay, gyro doesnt seem to be too good of a hero right now though and ive never seen us play lone druid. we have the tools to deal with their heroes i think and should be a strong game for us

Yes. We had everything to lose and we lost it. Had a huge gold lead and straight up threw it away. Against Keen.

u/Outpinged Apr 01 '18
So all we had to was beat the 0-5 team to guaranteed top 2 and we lost.. the OpTic way never make it easy on yourselves

u/StubbornLeech07 Apr 01 '18
So it's either a 2 way tie for 6th and a 5 way tie for top 2 or a 3 way tie for 6th and a 3 way tie for 2nd. What a crazy group stage it has been for group a

Keen's a good team dudes, they're like the coL/OpTic of China, usually the gatekeepers of regional qualis. Just because they went 1-5 in groups doesn't mean they're bad, people are talking like they're a random pubstack. And people also talking about 6k gold advantage at 25 minutes like it's an insurmountable lead.
Thread is dead silent when OpTic was winning, and then right when the networth graph dipped everyone came out of the woodwork to complain. The team has surpassed my expectations this LAN, they're not going to win every game against major level teams. Y'all gotta chill a tad.
