We're just over two weeks away from MSI. We'll be having a separate tipping competition for MSI so if you've fallen behind in Liquibet, you still have something to play for during MSI. Look for that announcement later next week!
Liquibet will still continue and end with the conclusion of MSI. And Wonder is on the move up the ladder! Can the top 3 hold him off?
Clearly your bias is showing. Your love for xPeke and Deficio is just too much to hide. Also, I hope G2 can extend their fun and creative play on the international stage, would be a shame if they retained themselves.
Putting Phong Vu and Fenerbahce in the same group is a crime, especially while group B would be free for either of them. I suppose the upside is that whoever does make it out of the two of them should have a free ride into main MSI, as they should easily beat the loser of FW/Group B

I feel like it would have been better, given the unforeseeable schedule change, that Riot automatically brought FW/TL into the main event to at least lighten the load on the casters. Yes it would have been cool/hilarious to see either of them go down to Wildcard teams, but realistically they wouldn't have and you're just making your casters cast two additional best of 5s on already crammed days. Or they could have used those days to re-spread out the play ins
this are actually at an almost watchable time for me, it will be very early in the morning but still better than when the games start at 2 or 3 am, those ones are basically unwatchable
Would like to stop and dump on the tournament schedule again. Why is the mixed group day tomorrow(today) and not on Friday? FW will have, at worst, 1 day of knowing their opponent ahead of time while TL will have 4 days.

But that doesn't really address the issue. I know why the schedule got changed, but this is a poor job of doing it. If you make tomorrow/today group B and the group finisher on Friday, both teams will have, at worst, 24 hours.
