      I am assuming they all knew, because they all acted a bit "woah, let's not go there, let's no show that we know", but then Thorin decided to just go for the W Hot Take.
      You can actually see Kassad's face reaction when Thorin said it, like "Man, why did you give this up? Now it's going to be obvious..." 😂

      I listened back to that last part and I don't really understand why they disagreed with each other. Thorin just thinks a big name shouldn't have to start over completely from the beginning of the qualifiers, which I think is logical to a point. Kassad is of course completely correct as it stands right now the way they did it Magisk and the boys have made their own bed and have to lie in it.

    • @rooskrist7870
      @rooskrist7870 6 місяців тому

      Thorin nails it with the G2 example, because Kassas is essentialy lying there. No way NiKo or m0nesy are both 20% worth each on that team. That would mean they are worth the same as nexa or hooxi. Which is mad. Cant believe NiKo's biggest fan just said that. There is even a parento principle which applies here aswell.

    I would prefer NAVI to figure it out with both s1mple and w0nderful. They are one of the best teams with ZERO trophy potential because the rifle core just isn't good enough, especially in 2024. Switching the awper around does nothing for them. They need exceptionally good decisionmakers like what Faze is chock full of... Time will tell what moves they make but if its only kicking wonderful for s1mple then the team is going nowhere and might even end up regressing.
    Are we also ignoring all the negative intangibles s1mple brings to the team with his vibe? Dude NEEDS to be a 1.4+ rating hard carry player in every game to make worth it for the team to put up with him, as he makes some of his teammates actively worse with his behaviour towards them during the game.

    • @trollface9903
      @trollface9903 6 місяців тому +1

      Thorin would say no, because Dupreeh was the worst player on Vitality and therefore is worth like 10% of the victory or something. Personally I have no idea how you would enforce something like this though, you'd have some teams that are approximately 20% per player, whereas others are like 40 20 15 15 10 like old Navi with s1mple. Also, the real counterpoint to what Thorin says is if Niko, S1mple, karrigan, Magisk and device made a team right before the roster locks, how would they be allowed to join the RMR when there's no proof this team will be good, considering they're all from different teams.

    @RobCooper-Bachatador 6 місяців тому +2

    LoL that argument at the end was weird. Thorin had a point until he started arguing against the need to have an established core and then it become untenable for Kassad or anyone to agree.
    So the point that made sense was that there should be an open qualifier only for non-established teams and then they can go into expanded closed qualifier against established teams, minus the teams that are invited to the final closed qualifiers (8 teams per) and the RMR (8 previous playoff teams).
    But you have to have a way to decide what is an established team and the only way that makes sense is using a team based ranking and/or a player based (3 man core) ranking. (ESL mixes the two together, that is how ENCE and Falcons qualified for Kato and liquid did not however Falcons would not have without the ENCE core)
    Until the ENCE core jumped on board Falcons was a backwater team and Magisk joining them just made them a backwater team with Magisk. They were ranked alongside ESL Impact and academy teams, so if we give them a closed qualifier we'd have to give those teams one too.

    • @rafzor3854
      @rafzor3854 6 місяців тому

      He didn't say it should have been a closed qualifier slot, but just not the bottom of the the open qualifier.
      And yes this extentends to the all the ESL impact and academy teams. But for sure it will require some work to run multiple stages for many more days, instead of just a huge singular bracket that due to amount of games at the same time also seemed to cause the admin problems Kassad alluded to, so it would fix both problems.

    The point of the rule is to ensure teams keep rmr points in a scene where roster swaps happen throughout the year.
    Its not like other sports where there are designated windows for roster swaps. This is the best solution in a volatile scene.

    Team accomplishments aren't a factor? You try talking to Michael Jordan or Tom Brady? They're clearly a factor. Meanwhile you give the default win to S1mple who played on the better teams and for far longer than zywoo. Simple literally has twice the amount of Major attempts and LAN attempts, but zywoo caught him in both. The only knock on zywoo is no cologne/major, but since simple has an additional like 6 attempts at each of those events, I'm not sure that is solid ground to stand on.

    It would be at odds with his ego for Simple to come back. He got absolutely Destroyed by Donk in Fpl and frankly the last 2 years hes be nowhere near being the goat you keep wanting to cling on to.

      Neither s1mple nor donk for that matter think that FPL performances are signs of how you will perform in officials. Most pros don't and for good reason.

      @@worm9862 Lol Donk in his first game did something Simples never done. And Wtf do you think they are playing Fpl for? Cuz its fun. No. Its to work on your skill sets and play against better people. It is 100 % a sign of how well you can play and when a player is just destroying you, You arnt going to magically get better during a Lan game.

      ​​@@scottb9868Yes, it's not like in fpl you're playing with 4 total randoms with no team cohesion. Most pros don't care and are just playing it for sake of it. Scrims are way more on the priority list in terms of practice. This is honestly the first time i've seen someone say FPL perf = LAN performance, absolute insanity.
