Lower bracket wins a lot in NA but not often in LPL and LCK - do you think this is related to the relative amounts of regular season games they play? It seems LCS teams come out of the regular season with identities still half-baked, and continue development over the course of playoffs to a larger extent than the Eastern regions. For LCS teams making a lower bracket run, more than half their total stage games usually come in playoffs, so an extra couple Bo5s could be more signficant.
On upper bracket advantage - any team that feels it's at a disadvantage being in the upper bracket need only lose and drop down. I hope to God Jatt has no input on format going forward.
Emily I was so sad when you predicted 3-1 against TL. Especially since you’ve watched them play the most on that desk. It gives the perception that TL dramatically upset FNC when everyone on that desk expected them to win 3-1 3-2. In actuality, FNC had no business winning that series. TL has been criminally underrated all year and not just at this MSI so I guess it’s to be expected 🤷♂️
@@krukis98 Fnatic choked the same way they choked throughout the LEC splits. They are individually strong, but make dumb mistakes specially mid game. TL actually has decent macro and that helps carry them in spite of other weaknesses. I understand why people predicted Fnatic to win, their ceiling is way higher, but it makes sense how the match turned out. Also, it really shouldn't be an upset for NA's #1 seed to beat EU's #2. It's kind of sad for the LCS that it is considered as such.
I'm curious as to what you two think about G2 gapping TES. Looking forward to another Making the Rounds.
the gap is widening

Made the round to this podcast
Good show. Is there a podcast format I can download or is this RUclips only?
Every episode gets uploaded to Spotify - t.co/tBVUZwF8In
Thank you.
TES will fix their lane swap issue and go all the way to final & stop by BLG.

Fnatic just choked out of their minds. I don't think it was a bad prediction at all
