I don't want to talk about Group Stage, but my Knockout Stage has gone perfectly.
So far I'm sitting happily at 69 points, a Crimson Raptor still only on the Leaderboards. But if SKT wins Worlds once again, it'll boost me up to Red Brambleback at least.
So how have your Worlds Pick'ems gone?
pretty bad, i forgot to choose on both of them
I always throw in random upsets because I know there will be an upset SOMEWHERE so I figure it's the only chance at the perfect bracket.
Unfortunately the upsets I randomly picked were nowhere close to the upsets that actually happened so... yea. Sitting pretty low (in the 40s? Haven't checked in a while since I've known it didn't work but I hit the threshold for the icon).
Took a gamble on H2K today, cause why the hell not. Stuck at 65 pts, but I'll be up a level again when SKT wins the tournament.
There's only 1 pickem that matters. SKT wins the trophy. /thread
Terrible. Group stages I had like 13 points and summarized it as "I thought Royal would have given up" (put em 4th in group - lowest score I ever got for a group in pick'em history...not 0 but close). SO I caved and went all Korean bias for the KO stage cause I want those 34 points! I think I got them now
The Knockout stage is the easiest part to predict in each years Worlds. You just pick the Korean team and in the Group stage you can get the 3-3 tie-breaker wrong and lose points but in the knockout stage you just pick between the 2 teams.
Good enough in the groups stages to get the icon, after which I didn't care. The top of the bracket was easy, though I picked ROX over SKT, so there's that For the bottom, I went with the meme choices. I picked C9 over Samsung because NA pride and something something hai effect. Then I unironically picked ANX to beat H2k: I honestly thought they could do it. RIP wildcard, next year you'll get to the semis. From there I picked ANX all the way through because, again, I already the icon so I went all in the ANX WILDCARD HYPE TRAIN, which has since been derailed.
