Every R6 Montreal Major Team

[@shllew]

Great stage for NA. I strongly feel that either SQ or DZ could come out major champs. SSG is always a fun watch, and they're sending a T2 team that ran the gauntlet and looks like they belong.

[@koopaa-]

completely agree it will be incredible to watch

[@highgroundatz]

NA on top

[@Aculnai]

@@shllew I feel like either this means na will dominate or will go out first. Maybe an outlier gets to the playoffs or doesn’t get to the playoffs

agreed

[@Random_starwars_and_chess_nerd]

The teams that qualified this stage are insane.some insane upsets cl4l,BD , even the latam team

[@highgroundatz]

It's nuts that so many of the minor region staples failed to qualify like Bleed, Bliss, Cruelty, etc. and obviously CL4L making it is huge.

No Bleed, Bliss, Talon, Geekay, Cruelty, or Furia is insane.

[@qetty_twitch]

@@highgroundatz idk how bleed can 7-0 elevate and then lose in quals, and you know fabian was screaming when talon went out. I think its terrible that asian teams only get one spot, especially since theres barely any tourneys

[@Aculnai]

For a second I thought hornetao made a t1 event back in jonkoping, but he got dropped a couple of stages before bd qualified. He’s back now, must feel nice to make an event with the team that dropped you a while ago go.

[@highgroundatz]

I actually thought he'd been at a major, too. I had to double check.

[@bladesofmercy4life]

So glad to see Team Secret here, they’re definitely my favourite team alongside CAG, definitely expecting a grand final between these two

Go Chiefs, so proud of all you boys. Sooo proud of you, Jigsaw, that's my boy 🎉🎉

Really wish C9BC made it, but without Fett the team looks broken

Some struggles for sure. Honestly I kind of expected it.

If im right Na had PB as a tier 2 team make SI? Im pretty sure they did. Usually if you hit an event it lead to a tier 1 position (mnm and pb) through challenger league qualification.

[@highgroundatz]

Yes Parabellum made SI 2021 through the NA qualifier. They had to independently quality for NAL through CL promotion. MKERS made SI 2021 through the EU qualifier, but they never made EUL.

I think Black Dragons have potential to make a run here, they were terrible in online league but during the LCQs they have looked an entirely different team and i have a feeling they might reach at least t4

[@RedVolkJetta]

AsK is so good he’s one of the best players in Brazil and if you watched the lcq final he might take BD to phase 3

It's so funny that they went winless in round robin but made the full LCQ run.

November 7th

[@famousXrobot]

soniqs and dz seem ready to rep internationally after a great stage 2. for sq, it's going to depend on team play and not their habit of falling back to the solo ego-peeks. for dz, kobelax is going to be the difference maker because the roster is solid all around - nafe and njr should be the shining players, but they need kobelax to pick up back to his BO1 stage performance. I'm most fearful of BDS and Faze - both have something to prove coming to this major after Faze's meltdown at SI and BDS getting popped on border in Manchester. liquid still don't really seem like they're poised to break the curse. I'm rooting for CL4L to make it out of phase 1.

[@highgroundatz]

Good calls

[@tomaz9601]

4:36 wow haha as a brazilian i have to agree, expect even less from liquid. BDS has everything to win this 90%

[@highgroundatz]

What's the other 10%?

[@Silbernagelst]

I think liquid realy have a change of wining this major, they were solid last major and they are even more now, they literally classified on the first chance they had wich is very surprising coming from them, and i think they could have won last major, It's just that they lost to Beastcoast and those guys were freaking insane no one could have taken that major from them

Half of NA are not even T2 level. One T2 team beat half of NA league in a row. Ubisoft has to allow more T2 teams into pro league. Else we have boring teams at the bottom of each region. CL4L is the NA team of choice for me this major.

[@highgroundatz]

Really "T2" doesn't even exist right now, but yes several NA League teams were shown up by a team not in the league. It sounds like promotion is being brought back in some fashion next year, so that's promising. And yes, rooting for CL4L is objectively correct.
