I actually really like all the EMEA teams. But its posts like these that make me not want them to win sometimes

depends on what genre

read a book

My heart says C9 because of their LCQ runs in both league and val.

But honestly imma have to go with FaZe for this one.

thats actually so sweet

Why tf is it Bo3

Too bad no group stage live

Stream?

Its actually amazing that all Qualifying (to Masters) matches are Bo5 format. Why don't other regions implement this?

Looks like my rematch is going to be 100T 2 - 0 FAZE

For Group A why is OGLU above G2 and Fokus?

Don't they have a 3 way head to head so should it not go to map differential next? (Which would mean G2 gets 4th?)

Another Banger Rematch
Close fight for TBD but TBD is just built different

TBD 2-0 TBD in close matches

Banger Rematch

Makes sense tbh, basically same as last year

Your outplays are nasty

Sadly even if they manage to beat XSET next week. They lost H2H against both Guard and NRG.
GG

I feel like he sorta got "pushed" to leave. Maybe some pressures and whatnot

TenZ didn't request a trade for a particular team at the time.... he just gave up on the C9 roster then and decided to step down

My favourite players on C9 have slowly been leaving :(

Please don't let Mitch be dropped

G2 26-1 SEN
Oout of pity

Ben Simmons carries the Nets to win the Finals in 9

Can't tell if youre trolling or not...

I liked Vision Strikers before the became DRX. The colours chosen were godly

It would be cool to do, might be a bit early for val, give it some time for more names to get established.

POG, now its easier for people to understand

Honestly though, all things consdiered.

W power rankings

Not sure why riot didnt decide to keep the same format for both tbh

soccer = football ;)

succer :)))))))

Coming from a C9 fan. Go for XSET (Forever 4th). One day they will break the 4th place curse and itll feel good :)

Idk enough about BR/LATAM to make an opinion.

I feel like the for the teams for NA would be: Optic, C9, 100T

Potentials for the final 2 spots would be between: XSET, TSM, SEN, FAZE, T1 and Guard.
Just due to their brand name/size of their team

Seems kind of biased against teams coming in from VRL. For Fokus to even have a chance to make the LCQ for Champions, they need to make it to Masters 2 due to the minimum points secured by all other teams in Challengers.

In my opinion, Fokus should get the minimum points from Stage 1 (same as SMB/BIG) which would be 35 points.
That way they have a chance to compete for champions without pulling off a miracle run in Stage 2

KR, JP and SEA managed to all place top 6 in the most recent LAN....
They may not be the best region but don't disrespect them like that

I think finals will be fun to watch no matter what.
I got Heat in 6 though, their defense is too good

Heat in 7
Warriors in 6

Nom nom nom

Since OG partnered with LDN UTD to play in EMEA Challengers.
I thought their team in VRL: France would be forced to disband no?

I would assume for the same reason why Academy teams cant play in NA Challengers, correct me if Im wrong

guess

UB:
100T
V1

LB:
KNIGHTS
NYFU

I think its also because Valorant is such a new game. There won't be that many coaches nor would the wuality of them be good either.

So the better coaches price will just be crazy higher

Upper bracket to qualify, 4 games - 4 wins
From where Ghost stand they will need to win their next 6 games each getting progressively harder.
I dont think any team wants that LMAO

Tier 1 for sure....top Tier 1 is debatable

Oh im fucking dumb LMAO
Thanks :)

I thought the 3 remaining players of Rise (Poised, Shanks and Supamen) were reported to go to FaZe?

But I guess FaZe didnt pick them up?
Please inform me thanks

I feel like it has to do with the fact that teams have strats for Thrifty's. Usually really risky(either win or get absolutely shit on) so the gamble might pay off more

These guys have huge Anime buff. Big hopium to complete their journey :)

I mean they werent in the same bracket....just fell to it :(

Honestly EMEA is still better region. But them losing this masters imo is healthy for the game.

Less dominance in a game always makes each match fun af to watch

honestly I hope this is the case, much more fun to watch the draws live

Saving strats for Challengers 2 :^)
