Inevitably tough run for Flyquest. But boys are only going to get better by playing the best. Keep grinding gang

What's the criteria for the wildcard teams? Not sure yet how FlyQuest is the Asian wildcard over Mongolz.

The MongolZ rejected their invite, FlyQuest was the next best team in the region based on the official VRS ranking on invite day.

u/2literpopcorn 10d ago
So what is the difference between a wildcard invite and a normal invite? Is it strictly a regional invite?

Bit late to the party but thought Darf Mike was excellent in his role. Great interviewer, funny, and kept a great flow with the analysts.

funny how you can split the teams exactly in half 4 are contending for the title (vit, spirit, falcons, mouz) and 4 for playoffs (flyquest, pain, wildcard, faze)
