R6 Montreal Major Recap

[@ryandowd1497]

The timezones were too much for me to keep up. Thanks for these makes me still feel involved

[@highgroundatz]

Cheers

[@seekthuth2817]

Scarz looks like the best apac team imo. They have the same problem as Liquid of falling apart in the late round, but if they clean that up, I could see them being the first team to actually make the semi finals, and maybe even gun for grand finals. I feel they're super underrated.

[@highgroundatz]

Interesting perspective. With them not putting up results for a while, it really makes their major top 8 look like a flash in the pan. But "best APAC team" isn't the highest of bars.

[@lxst05]

1:25 it’s hard to agree with cl4l getting past stage 1 without sub because ooziee was there best player at the event

[@Lucaz99]

Also isn’t the Tristan the guy who didn’t attend basically known for ducking LANs? Bro is American and had to attend an event in Canada, visa issues were not the problem.

[@lxst05]

@ he was supposed to be on beast coast instead of dfuzr, hes just duckin pro league

[@highgroundatz]

Ooziie did play well under the circumstances, but you also have to consider how the substitution affected the team's chemistry, roles, etc as well as the players' mental.

[@Lucaz99]

Great tierlist at the end! Its a good summary of the tournament! maybe SSG could be above SQ because they lost to the winners but outside of that, spot on.

[@highgroundatz]

Nothing too special, it's mostly just teams ordered by their placements, but that doesn't always necessarily feel accurate

[@P3bbIes]

bds and faze get the award for consistently having two of the best teams in the world and winning literally nothing

[@highgroundatz]

Shaiiko is literally an oil millionaire

[@ztavejcrhwmsloz1849]

Kafe was the most defender sided because VP played it more than anyone else and they’re so good on defense on kafe so it’s skewed cus of just them. Still surprised skycraper wasn’t the top defender sided map

[@highgroundatz]

Good note

[@FuyaoOtsutsuki]

Sad to not see VP win a major 😢

[@highgroundatz]

Next time though...

[@sheyarjames4904]

If I'm not mistaken W7M is the most accomplished org alongside G2 (G2 has 2 SIs, 1 major and 1 Pro league final wins), W7M has 1 SI and 3 major wins.

[@highgroundatz]

Yeah they're pretty comparable on wins. I'd have to really compare their other high placements to see who comes out on top.

[@WHenn-it2gh]

chalk the predictions

[@highgroundatz]

Go next

[@ElJuk3B0X]

W7M have to be top 3 most notable org in r6 atp. Whoever picks up their R6 teams needs a 50% raise

[@samdarley8641]

I think its pretty certainly top 2, between them and g2

[@highgroundatz]

Yeah doesn't seem like any other org is close to G2 and w7m in accomplishments

[@GeodudeSpitsFacts]

Didn't penta won more than G2? Or is G2 penta? Never understood what happened ​@@highgroundatz

[@samdarley8641]

@@GeodudeSpitsFacts penta roaster was picked up by g2 after they won SI 2018, then G2 went on to win a major, and 2 invitationals

[@Lucaz99]

What’s crazier is that R6 is the esport they have the most success despite having teams in pretty much everything else

[@AidenRetzos]

Why does yuzus get no recognition? He’s probably the most consistent pro in the world

[@samdarley8641]

probably being on MnM until this year meant he flew rather under the radar. deffo been top 5 pros this year

[@AidenRetzos]

Who is better than him?

[@highgroundatz]

I had him on my players to watch list

[@AidenRetzos]

@@highgroundatz true true. I’m saying like the commentators and the castors at the event. It’s just weird to me that he never gets talked about

[@nicoflic]

When do they give out packs? got 21 out of possible points, appreciate the help HG!

[@Kami_REK]

You have to redeem it but you should get it in a couple of hours after redeeming it

[@highgroundatz]

Resolved!

[@duplexlamp7285]

I missed my legendary packs by 1 because BDS decided to fold. I also want to know your thoughts on the new format to qual for invite. Your analysis on the finals was great.

[@Lucaz99]

Fr, that was a total crumble. I’m Brazilian so I was full on cheering for W7M but on the second map BDS had the win on their hands and they just started to slowly lose themselves and let W7M comeback. Then they started getting rolled by W7M

[@duplexlamp7285]

@Lucaz99 yeah, like how you gonna lift the hammer playing like that

[@highgroundatz]

I think it's cool that you can directly qual to SI from winning leagues and events. I was just thinking the other day about how they should bring that back. Even though regional finals were played for SI points, seeding, and a good amount of money, it felt like they were lacking "real" stakes.

[@KrigerThomas]

got 20/31 in the predictions, w7m made me win 3 legendary alpha packs 🎉😅

[@highgroundatz]

Better buy the w7m skin for Lobin then

[@Bulten_M80]

One question, how or when do I get all my Alpha packs

[@brownzy03]

You have to go back to the predictions website and claim each alpha pack you won, then it should be pretty much instant to get them in your account 👍.

[@highgroundatz]

Did you get it figured out?

[@Bulten_M80]

@@highgroundatz yes I needed to go to the same website and scroll down to the rewards and click redeem on all of them

That Kanzen clutch has removed the soul out of that team, it's like when Ben Simmons passed on an open dunk against the Hawks, he no longer has been the same player afterwards...

Nah I liked this channel but I was trying to watch the match but your thumbnail leaked the winner 😭 I’m mad ngl

Sorry, didn't know people were unaware of the winner after the event was over.

[@koolgameninja2960]

If only VP and BDS both went to the championship but of course W7M beat both my fav teams mainly bc both their top frager and star players did complete shit and they just could not wake up at all...

[@highgroundatz]

Well they both lost to w7m

[@ohitzrattly7378]

Bds lost two major grand finals in a row. Lol. But it was 3-1 so they can’t really call it a “fluke” this time huh?

[@highgroundatz]

Are people saying this was a fluke? I mean, if you were going to dumb things down and say that both major grand finals were coin flips dependent on who is better on the day, then 25% is still a pretty high chance (of BDS losing both). Not saying this is really accurate, but something to consider.

[@ohitzrattly7378]

@ I’m making fun of people who called the Manchester major a fluke. Mainly because they think bds should’ve won, yet they can’t say it this time cause they lost even harder

[@highgroundatz]

Well tbf BDS did just play in their 3rd consecutive grand final while beastcoast qualified for neither EWC nor Montreal.

[@ohitzrattly7378]

@ I’m very aware, I never claimed BC were a better team than BDS, I’m saying calling whole major wins flukes is dumb. BC deserved the win, and BDS losing is completely their own fault.
