GIGACHAD for this tweet tbh💀https://twitter.com/Ballatw/status/1772008183415886218

Hoping Shanghai is good too

China wins Shanghai. I see the vision.

o7 indeed

The coveted APAC choke with 2 map ban advantage?

Most insane round I've ever seen

pressure might be getting to them

Most likely Sideshow and Bren casting

I think this event already proved that APAC is good, even if they somehow lose tomorrow.

I'll RL1 all the Remembrance bosses

Champs 2023 too. EG lost to PRX in uppers, but then beat them convincingly in grand finals.

Copenhagen 2022 too. At least it's not PRX this time lol

Dephh

I'm beating the turtle pope in Elden Ring to death with a club. APAC losing another international final would be tragic, ESPECIALLY with map ban advantage.

How popular is Valorant at PC bangs nowadays? Last time I saw a list many months ago placing it 3rd behind FIFA and League of Legends. Is it still 3rd?

I just know that Valorant will be more popular at those Korean PC bangs if GenG wins.

Your only hope is that GENG chokes.

More like PRX ruined Monyet. Motherfucker was the best player on GE with t3xture on that same team.

People don't count domestic trophies, let's be real. No one cares that Liquid won EMEA in 2023.

I know other games do this like Rocket League, but it would take way too long unless they chose Bo3 for grand finals.

Surely APAC doesn't choke another Grand Final with map ban advantage :clueless: Predicting a 3-1 GENG regardless

Only advantage SEN has in this final is experience. GenG could choke

Ok so it's even so far, which is surprising. You'd think upper finals winner has the advantage. Also, Champs 2021, Berlin 2021, and Lock-in were single elim, no adv for grand finals

It's their advantage for winning the upper finals.

What do you mean false????

Oh yea forgot EG's map pool was disgusting. Not even comparable to either of these teams tbh. The pool was very different at the time too

Would've said the same with EG against PRX prior to that final tbh

...then APAC is cooked forever. It'd be the 3rd loss at an international final with map ban advantage for that region.

They're a pretty reliable insider site for Valorant, League, and CS.

Lower finals is Bo5 though.

Blud's lost

He's himothy

He turns 18 at the end of April. No reason why I'm bringing this up

Verno turns 18 at the end of April, just saying....

The Fellowship of the Ring is up there for sure

It's the The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. This is not up for debate

Controller: Karon
Main Initiator/Secondary duelist: N4RRATE
Main Duelist: zekken
IGL + Sentinel/Secondary Initiator: saadhak
Viper/Sentinel on maps saadhak plays secondary initiator or Karon plays Viper: Less

Only weakness of this team is communication. Team wins literally everything otherwise

Changing my pick em just because of this thread

-Icebox -Breeze
+Fracture +Haven
Ascent is starting to innovate (at least in terms of comps) FINALLY. Get rid of the dogshit maps.

Eye sore

you lose the round

APAC vs Americas*

SHOULD'VE RIGGED THIS ONE

With the way they treat Monyet, not sure they deserve your sympathy

Icebox and Breeze are literal trash tier.

I can't stand watch parties with more than 2 people. Sliggy best watch party as always

Riot will never do it. In LoL, they don't even give up NA or EU slots

Might be the biggest mental boom I've ever seen in a pro game.

To me it's easily his most underwhelming agent to watch.

For some reason someone edited John's face onto Martin Scorsese's "absolute cinema" meme. Not sure why they did though
