This episode of the "Three Stars" show is dedicated to discussing the Clash of Clans Esports scene. Hosted by Carmen Finn and featuring former pro player Maxie, the show provides a comprehensive analysis of the qualifying stages for the World Finals in Helsinki.
The hosts start by recapping the four qualifiers that have already taken place, with four teams qualifying for the World Finals. They then discuss the teams that have already qualified, with a focus on X Team Esports, who won the first qualifier and impressed with their surprising performance.
The hosts also talk about the format changes for the next stages, moving from a single elimination to a double elimination system. They discuss the top teams to keep an eye on, particularly Queen Walkers, who have a history of consistency and success in previous seasons.
Finn and Maxie also predict the teams that could potentially win the golden tickets to the next stage, with Finn picking Queen Walkers and another team, Time To Throw. Maxie, on the other hand, predicts that X Team Esports, who have already won the golden ticket, could perform well in the next stages.
The hosts also discuss the Swiss format for the final stage, where teams need to win three matches to move on, and the double elimination format that follows. They conclude the episode by discussing the upcoming World Finals in Helsinki, scheduled for September 23rd to 25th.
