And NAVI and FNC back on top of EMEA

After seeing how shaky Loud was against C9, are KRU set up to make a run to playoffs? They're probably favoured against EG, leaving them 3-0 up. Then they play 100t and Loud, who are both very winnable games for them and with the momentum KRU are building going 3-0 up, I can definitely see them having the confidence to take it to both teams. Then against LEV, we saw them crumble when C9 started playing scrappy, chaotic Valorant, so whose to say KRU couldn't do the same, arguably better. There's a genuine chance KRU have a flawless split, which would be REALLY funny

DFM 2-0 13-7 13-9, Meiy drops 276 ACS across the whole series, yay actually goes +2 across the whole series after a banger first map and a mid second map

Was expecting a y0y, severely disappointed

Pretty sure Asuna had a 0 headshot game in the 13-0 vs TGRD game

NAVI and VIT both clear ngl

EMEA - NAVI, VIT and then either FNC, FUT or TH assuming Wo0t actually FINALLY comes in
AMER - SEN, NRG and LEV, with a chance for LOUD
PAC - PRX, DRX, GEN.G
CN - EDG, TE, FPX

Lock it in

Kinda given up on KC at Shanghai ngl. They’ve looked super shaky ever since the FUT series

I think GX vs TL is 2-1 regardless of who takes it, it’s the Valorant Champions Berlin 2024 of Battle of Mid’s

VIT are basically locked for playoffs, they’ve played the 3 hardest teams in the opposite group and beaten 2 of them, now it’s just relatively easy matches left for them to most likely end 5-1. FNC still have to get through FUT and NAVI but the most recent matches lead me to believe they’d probably beat FUT, leaving them 4-2 at minimum. KC currently sit at 2-2, with TH left as their big hurdle. If they can’t beat TH, then that leaves them most likely 3-3 at the end. BBL have FUT, NAVI and GX left to play. I’d definitely favour them to beat GX in fairly clean fashion and lose to NAVI fairly decisively after yesterdays showing. That leaves them 3-2 at minimum. After the shaky performance from FUT and surprising performance from BBL yesterday, that matchup is incredibly winnable for them, probably more winnable than TH for KC since Wo0t will be playing in the KC vs TH match. There’s a significant chance KC don’t make playoffs.

NAVI seem to be having an absolute resurgence this year and look like the best team in EMEA, which is quite surprising considering the narrative everyone had surrounding this team that they were washed and had lost the 2022 magic. This has me thinking that this year could be their last dance, culminating with them winning champs in one last game together. Then ANGE1 retires and becomes a costreamer, ardiis and Zyppan go off to different teams while Shao and suygetsu stay on NAVI.

Thoughts?

Also get cboomer on here

He's spitting bars, SicK should give him a feature on his next track

Put rhyme on here just because it's funny

Achillios is hype asf you can't deny that

Asuna, SAO is fucking dogshit

Makes a case for top 20 player itw

Good showings in 2021, considered close to top 3 in their region, fall off in 2022 and have pretty poor seasons, win LCQ and get hyped up for champs, don’t accomplish much there. Build hyped up rosters for 2023 that end up choking and disappointing fans. Continually choke important matches that they should win. Have similar fan base of doomers who are too deep to back out.

Actually incredibly similar teams tbf

I mean their only competition for 4th place is 100t imo, and both teams have had incredibly good showings and some shit showings so far, so it’s very close

Yellow

1. ANGE1, man is like Master Yoda in Episode V. Acts like a complete troll, you assume he doesn't know what he's on about, all of a sudden he becomes the most powerful mf in the galaxy

Pretty much every team with 3 syllables in their name has a chant people do, plus KC has allez le bleu, which is way better. Having a chant doesn't make u special bro

ANGE1's Master Yoda aura intimidates Karmine Corp and completely throws them off, NAVI 13-8 Bind 13-6 Split

Damn Derke heard everyone talking shit ig

Rugby clears both ong

Aren't Latvia and Ukraine CIS?

C9 above 100T is crazy icl

If anything he'd just fuck them even more. Oh and make the team worse I guess

I mean the 5 players and coach that make up NAVI have a trophy so NAVI 1, the trophy case is just in China

"Only has 6" mf it's the subregion with the most slots out of any subregion in VCT. NA mfs really just wish no other region was allowed to play the game huh

"The man can do no wrong!"

Nah he's from Tanzania

Once his injuries heal they can sub out Melser and put Klaus on smokes, and all of a sudden KRU have some fucking shooters

KPI, CASE or Apeks for EMEA
M80 or OXG for Americas
Fennel, ORGLESS or JiJieHao for Pacific
Fuck knows for China ngl

Assuming KRU win this next game, they'll have a lot of momentum going their way. Could they take that momentum and go on a bit of a run to playoffs? They can certainly bring it to EG and win, and at that point they'll be on a big winstreak and could definitely upset Loud the next week, which more than likely puts them in playoffs already. I can see it

aspas and keznit unfortunately can't 2v8, team 2 win

I mean he's playing with a Brazilian right now. +3 more and a coach and he'd be there

Arsenal are losing to Wolves on Saturday 7-1. HIIIIIII HO, WOLVERHAMPTON

ANGE1 is beyond any curses

Battle of marginally above average, should be a giga banger tho

Isn't the Spanish league the most competitive in EMEA Tier 2?

If DFM win this match Sideshow's house is officially gone

Once again my FUT fetish pays off

If 100t lose this they're officially cooked for the rest of time, I don't think they can recover

-c0m -tex +Shyyy +nzr. They fumbled making more changes than -Taco +aspas and replacing the coaches

They didn't need to get much else when they have the goat WRIGGLEMEISTER

I hate to say it but pancc, he shouldn't get on a tier 1 team but he's unfortunately their best option rn
