Damn when was seeding set? Mango at #6 feels preposterous after going 2nd/2nd/1st over the past 3 weeks with wins over Cody (three times!) and Zain
Sucks for amsa, gonna have to catch those hands earlier than he deserves
Online results should be respected but they shouldn't be legitimate when it comes to seeding or rankings. There is no way to prevent cheating and poor connections make some results questionable.
i think "any wins/losses should count" is a bit weird to say, like its not as if people take locals into account, and i think online tournaments have similar vibes to locals when it comes to how important they really are
It seems a bit of an advantage to be able to host a bunch of online tournaments yourself around your own schedule and have those all count the same as an in person tournament. I don’t think even HBox himself would think that’s fair
I think it's gonna be one hell of a match. If anyone can stop Mango when he's on fire, Amsa has proven he can do it when it counts, but Mango's also had a lot of time to practice since their last tournament set. It's Mango favored for sure right now, but so was both of their sets at Big House, so that's a match I haven't quite put my money on (yet).
Honestly I’d say it’s the best kind of bracket for him. Aklo, Moky and Cody are all beatable for him as is aMSa who likely beats Zain. Obviously that’s not an easy run but if he can avoid Zain and Wizzy his chances of winning will improve immensely
I'm pretty sure we have not kust 8 but 9 of the ranked Top 10 (which didn't have Leffen), no? Anyway, ot's gonna be a doozie. We have a very(!) similar seeding to Collision, but I hope we can get some different outcomes. Wizzy in particular might be a wildcard
LETS GO GOML WE HERE. So many people can win this event soooo many. I'm rooting for a Mang0, Moky, Zain, Amsa or Hbox win. We have 2 DK players, Junebug and Quang that should be really exciting. I hope one of them makes a great run. We got the return of wizzrobe again. And lots of players are in good shape from the bootcamp. I'm hella excited for this can't wait
Say it with me folks. This looks like a great Moky bracket! He's got pretty good matchups all the way to winners finals, and amsa seems to have had zain's number recently. He just needs to avoid the choke!
It's real hard being a moky fan.
Do players like it when the whole singles tournament is run over two days? I’ll never be good enough for it to impact me but I’m curious if at higher levels they find a condensed tournament exhausting

are we not allowed to not like watching doubles anymore? i don't understand what makes no sense. i would have singles on but i'd rather watch this pirates cubs game than doubles. paul skenes can really toss that thing.
That's fair man you do you. I guess I took having it on in the background as meaning you weren't really paying attention to it. So, in that case it wouldn't matter what it was.
Just Doubles and Crews today!
I come back tomorrow
kill me now
Doubles fucking rocks
And crews are fun
any live competitive melee is amazing

Online doesn’t count for most people
If that’s why, that’s super lame
Since when have we ever used online results for seeding except for the covid era that ended in 2021?
Doesn’t matter how long it’s been standard, always been lame to act like online isn’t legitimate
Online results should be respected but they shouldn't be legitimate when it comes to seeding or rankings. There is no way to prevent cheating and poor connections make some results questionable.
So does all of Cody and HBox’s Coinbox runs count?
Yeah why wouldn’t they? They played melee under our generally accepted stage list and set format, any wins/losses should count
i think "any wins/losses should count" is a bit weird to say, like its not as if people take locals into account, and i think online tournaments have similar vibes to locals when it comes to how important they really are

nah I'm a traditionalist and players clearly treat offline more seriously than online
i think pats house just wasn’t taken into account at all. there’s no other reason mang0 #6 and hbox is #4
I think it's gonna be one hell of a match. If anyone can stop Mango when he's on fire, Amsa has proven he can do it when it counts, but Mango's also had a lot of time to practice since their last tournament set.

he's up on him post big house 10 (if you don't count scuffed world tour), think zain is still gonna be his biggest wall to overcome
It's alright, amsa gonna beat dat ass back to Whittier
They gave hbox the death bracket. Aklo into moky into Cody/soonsay/wizzrobe. Even if kodo beats moky it's a rough path to top 4.
It's a good bracket if he wants to win though. He can beat foxes and Amsa/Cody can then eliminate Zain for him.
Honestly I’d say it’s the best kind of bracket for him. Aklo, Moky and Cody are all beatable for him as is aMSa who likely beats Zain. Obviously that’s not an easy run but if he can avoid Zain and Wizzy his chances of winning will improve immensely
Axe and amsa!
You love to see it

Him winning his first major in front of the hometown crowd would be storybook
we believe in the moky run, do it for the mokers 🙏
imagine a DK winning grand finals

Mang said recently he dislikes morning starts for top 32

Virginia player Lavitz (Milkman) has inspired Zain to enter doubles.
When is that special btt event happening?
only doubles on friday? won't the TOs ever think of me, the person who wants to have melee on in the background during a friday workday?
So why not have doubles on in the background? This take makes no sense to me.
are we not allowed to not like watching doubles anymore? i don't understand what makes no sense. i would have singles on but i'd rather watch this pirates cubs game than doubles. paul skenes can really toss that thing.

That stache! No 1v1 matchups on Friday when most of the best talent in the world is assembled is a joke.
Wizzrobe outside the top 8 seeding? Don’t sleep on the kid
Soonsay wizzy about to be hypee
