Welcome to finals. Just two teams are left, the #1 and #2 seeds from the group stage - US West and Italy. West is looking at its best result since its 2019 win, featuring an impressive SV OU division featuring undefeated Fusien and emforbes, Attribute and TJ at three wins each, and shiloh...

Extremely cool tiebreak: Italy went for the obvious choice, giving one of their best players his best tier, while West went for a tactical pick to corner Italy's options while trusting a relatively fresher player. SV OU: Attribute vs. zS - both of these players are on outrageously good runs...

thank you for punishing the egregious greed of people running zero fairy resists

US West (5) vs. (5) Italy SV OU: TJ vs. zS - there's not much you can really take away from zS' last game but he's still on fire. Guy's like 5-0. TJ has more experience in tour finals, but I don't see zS falling victim to nerves here. Also think his brings have generally been slightly more...

Semifinals are upon us. Three of the teams present in this semifinals have won World Cup before, but none of them have done it since 2020. On one side of the bracket, US West is in their second straight semifinals, facing a US Northeast on the best run they've had since 2021. On the other side...

US West (2) vs. (3) US Northeast SV OU: shiloh vs. fade - this tier is admittedly not the first one I mentally associate either player with, but fade is like 14-1 in WCOP so just give him some fat mons and he'll be favoured. SV OU: Attribute vs. lax - both of these players are SV aces but I...

Welcome to quarterfinals. We're truly in the thick of it now, 20 teams becoming 8 and soon to become 4. US West and Italy perhaps enter as favourites in terms of both pre-tour appraisal and records, but they face surging efforts from a young India and a restructured France respectively. Two of...

Assorted SV predicts while I'm at work. Two highlights each. US West (0) vs. (0) India SV OU: emforbes vs. MAVERICK SHOOTERS SV OU: Fusien vs. myjava - Tyrants showdown! myjava's rapidly become one of the more reliable must-win-this-game guys on the site, with the only mega-important loss I can...

Tiebreak Time. Not writing a huge preamble for this, you know the vibes, let's get busy. I added minisprites this time! France vs Germany: a battle for the 7th seed. Germany is historically one of the best teams to never have won, making regular playoffs runs year after year. France took the...

Hello everybody! These recaps are going up pretty late but in my defence, when 99% of these games happened I was away from home visiting Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Fantastic experience. In honour of this and US West's top-seeded placement, here's some theme music. I just got back a few days ago...
