"The team's balance was pretty lopsided. Everyone was very aware of these unbalanced teams, which meant that since real money was on the line, everyone completely avoided certain teams as much as humanly possible." - ottr
"Cashout as a whole is a bit of a joke when you look at it at the highest level of competition either in ranked or when huge amounts of money are on the line." - ottr
"We have never played together before, Lulu is level 15, she's barely played the game. Carnifex and I are both EU, it's 4 AM here, we're playing on 200 ping. We have no synergy." - ottr
"Balise's ability to predict what's going to happen in the match within like the next 30 seconds is just so cool, and it actually aids his macro very well." - THIIXY
"'I'm not sure what to do' is something that you never really want to hear if you're playing THE FINALS." - THIIXY
"I really think that all of us in this space deserve to kind of be rewarded with the glimmer of the other side because I think imagine if THE FINALS still had that same hype now that it did in season 1, where the scene would be, where the esports would be." - neteX_
The Twitch Rivals tournament was seen as a significant step for THE FINALS competitive scene. It highlighted both the potential and challenges of the game as an esport:
Many players and viewers expressed hope that this event would lead to more tournaments and continued development of the game's competitive features.
