Astralis have only played 3 matches with their new players. So they can remove cmtry for one event to guarantee qualification, though FUT's placing will still determine whether he can sub at the major.

FUT are okay if they lose the QF. They will have cmtry registered as their 5th but can run SunPayus (who isn't registered on any team right now) as a substitute.

RoboticChicken

There are 4 permutations:

FUT play 5 matches without cmtry, Astralis play 5 matches with cmtry
Astralis qualify to the major and cmtry gets stickers

FUT play 5 matches without cmtry, Astralis don't play 5 matches with cmtry
Astralis qualify to the major but cmtry doesn't get stickers (he can still play in the major as a sub because he isn't on FUT's roster)

FUT play 4 matches without cmtry, Astralis play 5 matches with cmtry
Astralis will be disqualified (barring an exception from Valve) because cmtry is still on FUT according to VRS

FUT play 4 matches without cmtry, Astralis don't play 5 matches with cmtry
Astralis qualify to the major but cmtry doesn't get stickers (he cannot play as a sub because he is on FUT's roster)

#1 is the only perfect scenario, but if Astralis work with this and FUT don't make semis, they will be in scenario #3. Scenarios #2 and #4 (where cmtry is temporarily replaced by jabbi/hooxi) removes the risk. Astralis only have 3 matches with cmtry so far, so they could play one match with him and then sub him out until FUT win the QF.

There is a "Buy Us A Coffee" section for the Reborn devs in Apollo settings.

I tested it - a 2hp player with kevlar only (no helmet) receives only 1hp damage from flying utility hitting their head. So it's just based on whether the player has kevlar.

RoboticChicken

Yes, flying utility deals -1hp to armoured and -2hp to unarmoured opponents regardless of where it hits. HUASOPEEK was 2hp without armour, so the smoke killed him.

A fun hyperpop album with some happy hardcore sprinkled in. The lead single HEADLESS LOUNGE is one of my favourite songs of the year. UNLEASHED very much reminds me of modern Slayyyter.

Idk how you stumbled upon a 4 year old post, but... yes? I said OP's iPad must be an 8th gen because that model had a 128GB option, and the iPad 9 didn't.

Winning the GP is one of the requirements for him to win the title this weekend - 2nd or lower won't cut it.

I don't think it's really happened that much, but a rather notable one was triple headers.

The first triple header was in 2018 - it was claimed to be an "emergency measure" as it was the only way they could feasibly avoid a clash with the FIFA World Cup. There were none in 2019 after teams highlighted the strain it put on their staff. But they were forced to return in 2020 in order to fit 17 races in half a year.

This temporary measure has now become a fixture on the calendar, with 2-3 triple headers every year since 2020.

From the Valve Tournament Operation Requirements that all event organisers must follow:

3.10.1 Tournament Operator will declare a forfeit in any match in which a roster does not field at least three of the Invited Roster Athletes for the entirety of the match.

The invited roster is Aleksib-b1t-iM-makazze-w0nderful, so they will forfeit if 3 or more of them leave to play another event.

You are right that they are 2 separate companies, though Ferrari is sponsored by HP (the consumer company) and Mercedes by HPE (HP Enterprise)

Yes. They have now changed 3 players total, so according to VRS they are a different core, starting from zero. They're basically doing what BCG suggested before they got the exemption, and have 3 weeks to grind open LANs before the cutoff.

This new core has not appeared in the EU rankings before, so if they somehow make top 5 Asia in November, they will qualify.
