Chris G picks Magneto and sticks with him instead of Vergil, gives absolutely zero fucks even when going down 2-0, not salty after loss at all.
Staged.

BS. Why didn't he run it all the way through until it stopped working like he does every other time he tries a new team permutation?

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
the last rog vs champ game killed my hype hardcore
on the other hand, why would he play one team for the entire tournament and then switch at the last minute if he cared?
also, EVERYONE KNOWS when Chris is salty
did he look salty to you?
Chris didn't even care. He's already mentally in the training room figuring out a counter to Champ's tech.
People are happy ChrisG didn't win. Even if Flocker beat ChrisG with Morri/Doom/Vergil, the crowd would still go nuts.

"not my real team"
? This is Zero's first big major win. And Strider too as a matter of fact.
People are happy because their claims about the character are now justified by empirical data. No longer can people say "BUT ZERO HAS NEVER WON A MAJOR WITH GODS PRESENT... HE CANNOT BE THE BEST!"

Well, Chris had to lose a major eventually. But damn, I did not expect that.

fav matches were the FT15 between the two hulk-haggar guys
naw, he lost but he needs the practice with mags in that setting, finals. the pressure ect.
He lost against Flocker earlier with the Vergil version, right? Mags has better options on incoming to avoid Zero bullshit on incoming and can zone Zero well if he has to.

Who can stop the Puerto Ricans?!
I know everyone is celebrating Flocker, Zero, Strider victories... but it was really Vergil that pulled his weight the most in this whole tournament.
Dude went on a rampage and made solo comebacks on full teams. In terms of performance and presence, this was Vergil's best tournament.

Because ChrisG scouted that Vergil has no real incoming options against Zero, Vergil and Strider. He's a sitting duck and a free character for that team. Magneto has superior options... in that one game he completely escaped Strider's XF comeback. That is something Vergil cannot do. It was a wise choice and really... this is the best stage to test out the data.

FChamp loses to ChrisG using Morrigan instead of Doom - Chris Fucking Genius
Flocker beats ChrisG using Magneto instead of Vergil - doesn't count
Road to Evo, with all five Gods present? It was a major.

Good point. I'm upset now.

Magneto did do well against Strider, though - at least near the start of the set. I agree with the idea that he was willing to eat the loss in order to test out Magneto in a real match.
He can't talk right now. He's lost his smile.
Because he can't Vergil his way through Strider.
Magnetic shockwave gives him an easy way to fuck up Strider assist calls AND Magneto allows him to better deal with Zero movement.
had to get into finals 1st.
Use a new character in that setting, while he's feeling the pressure and see if he can perform. I think it was a test. Like I said, the loss means nothing.

Why?
It's not Road to Evo

The fact he wasn't salty at all. Reset brackets, up against the ropes and 1 match from elimination? Meh tiny shoulder shrug, fuck it.

Yeah pretty much.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
1 major win = best character in the game? I guess that makes Vergil the best fighting game character to ever exist.
Right... that's UFGT, not ECT.
Still, all five Gods present. Most of the top players in the US there.
It was a major.
