bangles on and then they're they're in these black dresses and they're lifting their their parking trophy and uh that's where you go jason you take a look and that's where the people over at polymarket think that there's a 96 chance that bait will qualify for the im cologne major and they're out here balling out of control in their pjs getting this trophy somewhere in denmark and you can't believe it you can't believe that's how they qualified for the major jason yeah it's believe it

it feels like there's almost like it almost be better to just be like permanently in tier two than sitting at the bottom of that's what game allegiance shown right that's what game allegiance shown they had invites early on to start off but isn't that the wrong incentive not really though because if you go into tier one events and you're losing every game that gives us no information right so i think what you have to do is if you're on a cusp obviously you want to go to all these events but you know it's going to come with the trade-off of having to grind these smaller ones right now before the cutoff i think the angle could be especially with all these stake events that are going to be happening

maybe they're a bit more spread out but maybe be more selective if you're one of these teams with which of which top tier events you're choosing to go to as opposed to going to all of them which sounds crazy right because you want to go to the big event you're going to get more exposure it's better for the sponsor but what's better overall is making the major right so i think it just teams have to balance it instead of just chasing the dragon of oh okay we're invited to four tier one events out the gate because we had a good major let's only attend three of them

And when the other one's meant to be on, let's go to a smaller event at the time to just make sure we can get some points to keep our head above water as opposed to just hemorrhaging all these losses.
