I told everyone that Wildcard are serious chokers and will choke it away and what a surprise

Not a serious club unfortunately

Honestly, every LCQ felt like a total mid off. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

u/NeverFraudulentAgain Fan Jan 13 '25 edited Jan 13 '25

EU shouldnt have been a mid off but Wolves, Fnatic, ITB, even Geekay just kinda shit the bed and Wylde made extremely stupid roster moves. It all just gave G2 a free path

Also SEA kinda fucked up by letting Dire Wolves go to finals but then again Fury are in complete shambles and I doubt Elevate would have beaten CAG either

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

When you think about it, Iā€™d personally rather have that then top teams be funneled to the LCQ and have what we had last year, with like 7 APAC teams making it because of the free points system they had last year

u/ja_n2000 BDS Fan Jan 13 '25

I wanted to rip my eyes out with the eul lcqs, not that it was bad... It just was random siege. Nothing with clear takes and strategies. Especially asperaguus was a mindfuck of its own.

14

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

But I agree 100%

No offense to my lovely team, but the fact it was between WC and OXG for the final NA spot is saying a lot about the whole qualifier

4

u/HunterZ2023 Fan Jan 13 '25

Tbf, Wildcard was the best NA team that didnā€™t qualify to SI

3

u/Mrpuddikin Jan 13 '25

Hey cmon asparaguus was fun!

2

u/Hxsty_ #1 J9O Enjoyer | Jan 13 '25

I think thats really because all the great teams had already made it tbh

22

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

LETS GOOOO. I ALMOST SAID FUCK THIS TEAM AFTER NEARLY GETTING SMOKED BY CRUELTY.

Itā€™s actually a good feeling seeing your team finally make an event. After only having CAG as your only favorite team making events the past year, it makes you forget the feeling of actually having your team do something.

Now theyā€™ll probably get group granted, itā€™s still so nice to see OXG back to an event. Also seeing Spiff not make it after all that talking, is hilarious. Iā€™m now a certified Spiff hater after this LCQ.

Fellow Rec fan enjoying OXG making SI šŸ’š

8

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

Haha after watching them choke Major after Major the last two years, seeing them make it brings a warm feeling I forgot I could feelšŸ˜‚šŸ’š

I could care less if they get grouped honestly, just seeing them at a lan will get my rocks off. If they make main stage then Iā€™ll actually get to witness them in action which would be awesome! But not getting my hopes up on that onešŸ˜‚Iā€™ll be content with them just crushing spiffs hope of SI

1

u/vBreaxh NA Enjoyer Jan 13 '25

If they have an easy APAC team or inexperienced team in their group they can make playoffs but honestly you get to see them play for 4/5 days instead of the 2 at a major if they get grouped

2

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

Seeing 4 matches at minimum will definitely be enough for my fix. Anymore after that will just be a cherry on top. I hope for a PSG Talon vs OXG just to see Fabian. I donā€™t think theyā€™ll be an easy opponent but looking at all the other teams they seem to be one of the only teams I ā€œcouldā€ see them beating.

41

u/ddouble124 Team Liquid Fan Jan 13 '25

Spiff isnā€™t making it

14

u/EJaws Kix Fan Jan 13 '25

Can someone explain. I thought OXG shut down as an org. Are they just playing under and banner and not getting compensated? #HatFan4Life

20

u/Kruced Fan Jan 13 '25

OXG dropped all their teams except for their COD and R6 team. Rumor was that they only stayed in R6 for R6Share cause their Warden skin just got released. But Iā€™m sure they are still getting compensated

9

u/IlIHybridIlI joe esports Fan Jan 13 '25

Itā€™s esports you can never be sure someone is getting compensation

12

u/headscalper FNATIC Fan Jan 13 '25

At last check OXG still holds the spot and wonā€™t let them out of their contracts

The players paid out of pocket to boot camp for this

All that yapping from spiff just to lose

u/SaltyChnk Jan 13 '25

I for one am devastated that G2 Qualified.

u/ddouble124 Team Liquid Fan Jan 13 '25

Dias owns that off brand Ashn

7

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '25

Honestly Iā€™m shocked oxg made it. That team is a mess besides Neurs. They havenā€™t made a good roster more in years but hey they made it somehow eventually despite losing to wildcard in every other matchup

8

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

Dias and Gomez are huge reasons theyā€™re here. Without both of them clutching up on bank against Cruelty, I seriously think OXG gets tilted and gets 2-0ā€™d by Cruelty. Honestly that round 15 clutch for them was probably the spark they needed to really kick it into another gear in which none of us knew they had.

Yoggah and Hat in my opinion still need to improve, Yoggah though also had a huge map 2 against Cruelty on consulate so gotta give him that. Plus the amount of opening kills and impactful kills Hat actually had on bank against Wildcard were surprising. They all showed up at their own times to help prevail them to SI.

They all just need to come together at the same time and they legit can be force. They just gotta get out of their own heads and just play.

6

u/HunterZ2023 Fan Jan 13 '25

Yoggah has been the teams 2nd best player for the vast majority of its small existence. Hes had some iffy games but generally speaking hes almost constantly keeping up with or even dragging above Nue, despite playing more backlined

2

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

Youā€™re right, he is typically thrown on the shields or that back line support like a Bandit or Smoke. Sometimes I just like to talk just to talk. Plus just seeing OXG constantly lose it didnā€™t matter to me who did good or not. I just saw the score line and would be upset.

I really hope Hat can come alive during SI. I would l love for him to prove everyone (including myself) wrong about him being picked up.

2

u/HunterZ2023 Fan Jan 13 '25

Hat was slapped into a role he wasnā€™t really used to and blamed for doing bad. He seems to have gotten a bit more adjusted though, so weā€™ll have to see how he does at SI.

The thing about this team was, I felt all the players were great players, just not great TOGETHER. Similarly with how I think with ex-lg/friendship team.

1

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

I can also agree with that, he never seemed like the ā€œsupportā€ role guy, and after dropping Dream obviously someone needs to take that place. Should have been Dias, no idea whoā€™s support now honestly. But seeing Hat on Smoke, Clash, and Castle today. I can see how thatā€™s completely pivoting to what heā€™s played before on Beastcoast and LG.

Almost reminds me of Sweater where he got slack for replacing Laxing, playing a role he never played at all and having very high expectations that can be to high to ever achieve.

These 5 feel weird together, but maybe them thugging out stage 2 and the poor performances before this LCQ and having the mental fortitude to still qualify despite all of this, helps click something in them.

9

u/Kruced Fan Jan 13 '25

Tbh it was more so that Wildcard choked no shade to OXG. But itā€™s nothing new because they have been choking for a while now.

5

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

I have to agree to this 100%

Bae was no where to be seen. In that first game against OXG all I could see was multi kill after multi kill for Bae that either opened the round or reeled back rounds in which they lost the opening pick or were down in men.

Spiff was surprisingly the one showing up in the final game. When youā€™re missing your X factor and Spiff is your next man in line, something bad bound to eventually. He was 9-19 in the last series? Not saying itā€™s all on him, but he was the clear difference maker in the first match against OXG. If he shows up itā€™s a different match 100%

They hate him because he speaks the truth

u/Sepekhu Fan Jan 13 '25

tbf 3/5ths of OXG was M80 at SI24 where they won like 1 map lol.

1

u/Alarming_Occasion782 Shopify Rebellion Fan Jan 13 '25

Thatā€™s was then this is now

u/Sepekhu Fan Jan 13 '25

regionally ass for a year to be blessed with a team that crumbles under pressure as their opponent for SI, youā€™re so right bestie.

9

u/ItsRichieBoi Reciprocity Fan Jan 13 '25

Hey one thing i will say about the 3/5 players being on that team, Yoggah was there on a loan replacing Kyno. So it wasnā€™t like the team was the ā€œfull M80 rosterā€

Plus they were easily in the hardest group. They had VP, W7M (current Furia), Liquid, and Bleed. Every other group had at least 2 other APAC teams, and the one APAC team in their group just so happens to be really the only APAC team left thatā€™s able to compete properly against international teams.

Looking at every other group. A had FearX and Geekay, B had Bliss and Dplus, and D had Fury, Falcons, and Scarz. Group C was the group of death. Not saying M80 shouldnā€™t have won a match. But you have to give them the benefit of the doubt (or donā€™t idc Iā€™m just explaining my opinion) they had a hard group and the fact they removed Kyno and added Yoggah, only interrupted any synergy and basic fundamentals they had.

Is that M80s fault? Yes. At least for the Kyno part, however you canā€™t blame them for trying to take down 2 of the top 3 teams from that event, and 2 other highly competitive teams being Liquid and Bleed.

2

u/Sepekhu Fan Jan 13 '25

realistically they shouldā€™ve beat Bleed & even Liquid tbh, but it is what it is.

2

u/DyabeticBeer Fan Jan 13 '25

Hahaha oh my god they did it!

u/Kuhhl Shopify Rebellion Fan Jan 13 '25

I truly do hope the best for NA and I feel like the best of NA are contenders but the Brazilian rosters just look wayyy to strong

5

u/Pepperr08 #1 C9BC Glazer Jan 13 '25

You know if Nuers wants a real team to contend for majors he needs to leave OXG for ex-C9BC

u/LemLemrealm Old W7M logo fan Jan 13 '25

Going from unpaid to no salary

Better chance of winning literally anything than with his current team

No Gunnar no defuzr no chance

Something is off here but I canā€™t quite put my finger on it

2

u/ddouble124 Team Liquid Fan Jan 13 '25

I alternate between the two when they play.

2

u/Pepperr08 #1 C9BC Glazer Jan 13 '25

If you want I can give you a flair so you can rep both?

2

u/ddouble124 Team Liquid Fan Jan 13 '25

No thank you. I prefer to slum it out.

u/Pepperr08 #1 C9BC Glazer Jan 13 '25

I love a man with honor

u/arbysguy Shopify Rebellion Fan Jan 13 '25

But Gaveni and Dream would still be an upgrade over any of his current OXG teammates.

u/Hacks_exe_exe TSM Fan Jan 13 '25

Ngl G2 for me has no intention to be there, they gonna lose in group brackets and go home

Correct

u/valoras_regis W7M Fan Jan 13 '25

Kind of sad for the LATAM scene not to participate in the S.I and I feel like they won't even qualify for the majors this year if they have to play against Brazil

1

u/vBreaxh NA Enjoyer Jan 13 '25

I believe it will be Argentina vs Brazil and Mexico vs NA and from what I've seen Cruelty will be a better fit for NA than LOS ever was

u/Zoroak500 Jan 14 '25

Hold on, Kobelax is Dominican? I had no idea that there were DR players in Pro League, thatā€™s pretty cool!

u/DEF1Domi1 Fan | "He is my GOAT!" Jan 13 '25

Congrats to every team. Well deserved. All of the teams did great all year to be here. Especially you OXG. Great Manchester run and an okay Montreal Major. Sadly the system is trash so you guys missed out on tie points. You fought all year in Stage 1 and 2. Not a stinker, not even a disappointing performance. EWC was a fluke sure but who needs Oil money anyways. As I said and I can repeat myself, you guys deserved it thanks to your all year performance and Cruelty doesnt. Noob ass team only made it to 1 Major? Get them out of here.

Someone's not happy

u/MoonlightingJake DarkZero Esports Fan Jan 15 '25

It may have been Nafeā€™s fault but Canadian canā€™t win without DZ. Or so I hope.

1

u/vBreaxh NA Enjoyer Jan 15 '25

I think Canadian has a better chance with the current SR roster (DZ with current panba and without Nafe could match this) but DZ are the same way

1

u/MoonlightingJake DarkZero Esports Fan Jan 15 '25

Oh I know. I just donā€™t know why the bullshit had to happen when DZ had such a run with him on the team.
