Timo said he thinks FNRGFE is the second strongest team after them in the playoffs a couple of weeks ago, still think nV is gonna take the W but im ready to be surprised, last match was close!
Fluoride [#2]Is there a third place match in Contenders?
I don't think so, unless Blizzard have changed their minds. Muma was saying on twitter how he wished there was a 3rd/4th place game.
Pixelfish [#6]They are definitely different beasts at LAN, but members of FNRGFE are no strangers to competing on a stage. Buds, Clockwork, and Coolmatt have lots of LAN experience
They also almost lost to RNG, so unless they find a new gear this will be a 3-0 imo, It could end up being closer than the score suggests, but I don't see them taking a map off of nV.

their last game against nV was very close

FNRGFE definitley didn't do their homework when it came to RNG. You could see when the played rogue and envyus they had. The match being on lan shouldn't limit FNRGFE at all. If Envyus plays the with the same stratagies and comps then FNRGFE have a chance IMO. Looking forward to the match.

I don't put much stock into the Rogue match, they were still playing in sub optimal conditions, without assuming that Rogue would have won that match I strongly believe it would have been much more competitive, possibly even costing FNRGFE their playoff spot.
Don't get me wrong, I think they're a really good team but they don't feel consistent enough to reliably bring it to EnvyUs. Also, LAN experience counts for a lot in my book, so I see it less as FNRGFE being limited and Envy being enabled, looking forward to seeing if they can show up strong or if the gaps in both skill and experience are as big as I believe them to be.
candlestick [#17]is this going to be played on the new mercy/dva patch?
No, see https://www.over.gg/5860/contenders-playoffs-to-be-played-on-old-patch
Involv3r [#29]EU and NA will play their respective bracket. It’s to make things clearer. I wish we had a grand finals BO7 between the winners of the 2 brackets though.
so they just let the EU guys fly there to face off against other EU teams?
hmm blizzard need to learn a thing or another when it comes to format
spiderlily [#5]NV 4-0. LAN is a different beast to online play. NV has more experience than anyone else. FNRGFE already peaked.
I think the disagreeable thing here is > FNRGFE already peaked.
Its pretty obvious that the fresh team with basically only season 0 contenders under its belt hasn't "peaked". Its like trying to argue a rookie has peaked after 1 season.

Another way to add in a few thousand viewers to the mix.
POOOGCHAMP
cha0 [#49]The viewer spike was a lot less than I expected tbh. Was at 26k for EU, now at 39k for NA. Thought it would at least hit 50k.
today it might go to 45k but for final it should be over 50k
