“Had Vitality & MOUZ in 3‑0, stage 3 started 1h02 ago and it’s already dead lmao”
This ironic take reflects the widespread frustration among fans with Pick’Em predictions. Not even 90 minutes into Stage 3, and one of the most common 3-0 picks was already dead in the water.

“Legacy FTW. Vitality streak ends here!”
Some fans genuinely believed in Legacy’s chances — especially given the best-of-one format, where one misstep or a hot streak can flip the result.

“With the randomness in a BO1 it is highly unlikely that the expected outcome is the final result.”
This sentiment echoes a common criticism of bo1 — a format many view as unforgiving and unpredictable, especially toward elite teams.
