S1mple can afford to start his own team if he can be driving a lamborghini while he was off not playing for years until in the summer of this year when he joined up with his current team.

Remember this post from back at the beginning of this year?
Thing they might be taking a hiatus due to some holidays nearer to the end of the month for this region of the world.
But great to know when they will be starting up again so to close this tournament in the later stages.
So many thanks for this information @passwordnow and keeping us all updated!

Surprised to see this little bit of news on who won the MVP award in the Thunderpick World Grand Finals:

https://www.hltv.org/news/42985/kscerato-ends-wait-for-maiden-mvp-at-thunderpick-world-championship-2025-tc

Looking forward to the next tournament to begin with PGL Masters Bucharest's $1.25m event beginning on October 26 and running just until til November 1.
Those CS Asia Championships will be the first to kick off this format having Legacy taking on Liquid.

Bcgame played first game with new electronic roster yesterday vs QUAZAR in the skyesports chennai qualifiers-




Then their second game yesterday-


Today they are playing vs big in the qualifier semi finals as 1.4 odds.
If they win it we will s1mple play for the first time in an indian LAN 

That match was a huge disappointed from bc.game and s1mple.
They got destroyed on both maps 13-3 and 13-6.
It was not competitive at all and had a bet on them to win being certain that electronic would make a difference and having two former professional CS on the same team up against the lower tiered teams would be an easy win.

It's an expected win for them and most of the favorites. The next round should be the real test for them, since it'll likely be another tier 1 team unless we get an upset in the last few series of the day.

The second day of Round 4 for Worlds also ended earlier, with MKOI pulling off the reverse sweep against TSW while Gen.G with a clean 2-0 against TES. The second seed of the LEC lives on, but the next round won't be any easier with TES, T1, and BLG still looking for their playoff spot.

They're unlucky with that matchup against Gen.G last week, but I still think they should be able to win the next two matches now that all the remaining matches are bo3s.

I also got T1 on the other thread since it's rare for them to struggle on weaker teams, and their consecutive losses should serve as a wake-up call.

Team Spirit not so strong after last shuffle right ? Miposhka was really the brain on this team and every little detail came from his side and from his pool of knowledge regarding Dota 2. Now , with him gone , I do see Spirit actually struggles to be dominant on the map and right now they are playing against Heroic , a team who in my opinion are top 5 right now easily and with a bit of luck they can take down Spirit today.

I had no idea they've been doing that over in Brazil. Anyway, that VKS match got a bit interesting since they're close to pulling off a map win before they lost by a quick TP from Bin to their exposed nexus.

Also, the matchups for tomorrow's final round are spicy as both LPL teams (BLG and TES) will face each other, and CFO could steal the other spot from FlyQuest. If the double rule hadn't been in place, T1 could've faced CFO again for the second time.

I wouldn't cross out T1 of all teams, but they are one of the least likely teams to win it once they make it in the playoffs. Skipping was definitely the move in yesterday's series. T1 was close to dropping a map before they clutched that one teamfight around the mid-game, and the highest odds were around 1.50 before T1 closed it out.

I had a hard time with yesterday's Fissure matches, but I agree with taking the seasoned teams. The only downside is the juiced odds, as the match winner is always set around 1.10-1.40.

I also saw the news go through my feed earlier, and it's probably real because i've seen similar cases happen in the other esports scene.

I'm more amazed that they agreed to settle it through the show and have it broadcast on national TV.

The final round of Worlds' Swiss stage ended with CFO, TES and T1 winning their series to secure the last three spots of the playoffs.

They also drew the playoff matchups, and this is what they cooked up for the upcoming quarterfinals on Tuesday. This somehow feels like a Gen.G-T1 final, but we'll see if T1 improves or AL keeps the momentum going after their 3-0 start.
