It’s just against Geng

They’re never returning home to Korea 💀💀💀

Fake Flagger

Americas is just that competitive.

TH, PRX, EDG, FPX, GENG. 5/8 of Madrid teams made it through and winning their first matches.

Even as someone who watches primarily APAC, feels like Americas team all can beat each other in any given day (some have yet to reach their potential: EG). APAC is a four team region. EMEA has their top dogs too : FNC and TH., just that the overall skill of EMEA is a bit dogshit

He ran out of bullets? Wtf is he gonna do. He knifed so his teammate can get the kill.

Eh they beat Prime Gambit, they deserved all the praises. Meta shifted too rapidly (jett-> chamber)

Just delete the Icebox (and breeze pls) permanently, it’s a turn off your brain map. You always know how the rounds going to end even before it ended. Plant B, go play behind yellow and one person will go flank mid. Heading A? Everyone full W, Aspas go updraft dash and get 4 while the enemy viper is still in B. At least with Split, there’s some strategy to how the map is played.

“Trust me if Sen won champs nobody would call them a mickey mouse team”

Buddy, everyone called Acend a mickey mouse team 🤣

Its written in Chinese. W org

jdzin77 says, through his crooked, British teeth

He’s back in Champs Form, it’s over for Geng

Life literally b-hopped out of a Sunset A one way smoke to then die, immediately. (Fpx pulled some rotations, but site wasn’t confirmed clear) Only to then get 3 out of nowhere the next round.

You must be on something cause G2 vs T1 was trash 🔥

Against Lev
Against 100T
Against T1 (even though they might have won)

Is this just a playstyle diff?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
10-4

I thought the showmatch was going to be right before the finals.

Why is G2 vs T1 today?

They’re not even playing the new map

N

Syd/Melb got the best time no?
6pm and 9pm games

Not to anyone with common sense. You just want to start something lmao

gg, the haters won

If they get Monyet, there's a world...

💀💀💀
I'll be straight, I didn't even realize it

Yeah, 4th seed though

Top 3 of split 2 will go to Champs
The teams with the highest point who didn't make it based on Split 2 will go to champs

Talon's only losses were to GENG and PRX, both 1st and 2nd place. They deserve Champs over T1, DRX and TS imo

Yeah, I think it's a tossup between Fut and Navi honestly. Unlucky for Navi to fight heretics early on

NA - 100T, SEN (if they ever get back to Madrid form), LEV, KRU (on points)
EMEA - FNC, FUT, Heretics, KC (on points)
PACIFIC - PRX, GENG, Talon, DRX (on points)

I honestly think T1 won't make it based on how inconsistent they are. Talon looks great just need more time to cook. Not too sure about EMEA so it's a toss between Fut and Navi honestly. NA, I do think that SEN is just isn't on form right now by the way they play (lack of coordination, playing together, discipline). Not too sure about G2 since they made playoffs (difference of 2 rounds with SEN) but went ham later on.

I don't watch G2 games but every time I see the stats (I know....very reliable indicator) he's always at the bottom of the board with a pretty bad FK/FD
But G2 made it to Shanghai...
How is Icy performing overall?

edit: also how is G2 setting him up and whatnot. I remember Tenz was horribly set up in 2022 in terms of util. I think Cned was badly set up too when he was in navi. Demon1 too I feel, lack of set plays to help him entry

Life game from Icy.

they rarely play cypher + viper
every other team would run a weakened comp

Furia has to win all their games to 5-5
KRU, C9, LEV has to lose all their games
Every other 3-3 and 2-3 team has to do mid enough that they have the same score as Furia
And smh, Furia has to overcome a -62 round and -10 map differential
Yeahhhh, no fucking chance

Pancada moving to furia is going to be such an insignificant change now, what's the point of roster changes if you know you're fucked either ways

I didn't know this till today :)
Top 6 teams from Overall score of Stage 1 and Stage 2, regardless of groups, will advance to Playoffs

How tf do they have so many announcement videos but this point never got across even casual viewers.

You're wrong. They can't qualify at all for playoffs in split 2. It's overall score not split score
Top 6 teams from Overall score of Stage 1 and Stage 2, regardless of groups, will advance to Playoffs

yh i didn't know this till today either. Shit format

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCPN9SfdH7c

MIBR and FURIA should just give up too, there's no point. Just save money for the rebuild next year
Fuck it, let mwzera 1 v 5 in the server

Even if Bleed won all their games next split they won't make it to playoffs/No Champs at all
At this point just drop all your players and sign T3 players for dirt cheap to save money for next year
What is this horrid shit format

Edit:
Top 6 teams from Overall score of Stage 1 and Stage 2, regardless of groups, will advance to Playoffs
per: https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCT/2024/EMEA_League/Stage_2

They're down 0-5, the only way they'll make it is if all the 5-1 and 4-1 teams don't win any games and everyone else does decently well to even it out.
Shit format

Ok, I didn't realize this but Split 2 basically carries over all the points from Split 2. The Top 6 Teams from overall score of Split 1 and 2, regardless of groups, will advance to playoffs.
Doesn't this mean teams like Furia and MIBR are out already? Wtf

So lcq would have 4 teams qualifying?

Actually kinda fuck with it, make it like last year lcq but keep teams with more points higher seeds

I do think riot needs to give better rewards than points for split winners. Maybe a one way ticket to Champions 🤷, but a 3 point for higher seeding in lcq is good enough

There’s only 1 year ascending this year right?

We can keep the same split (6 team) format for masters 1 and 2
Then a 12 team split for champions
You can extend the season too
Each team would have a minimum of 21 games played
Just need to change how playoffs are structured

I keep hearing the castors say Fuck C9, Fuck C9. What does this mean for C9?

“I believe I have the capability to become the best VALORANT player in the World”

Bro can’t even be the best in T3 with that weak ass prac mindset

I hope to god loud doesnt make it, EG looked far better than them ngl and they need time to fix whatever issues they have

They fight navi next and vit has a free win over koi

What is this world we live in.
Sen
Nrg
Fnc
All might not make playoffs

EG had a slow start but they’ve grown into a team capable of fighting on the intl stage. Loud looks worse day by day

Shit macro

True, have one long road to a very open site that you can plant safe and spam 50 meters away from safety

Role issues no?
Demon1- entry, smokes
FNS- Kj, viper
S0m - flex
Marved- smokes
Ethan- flash init

If s0m can play recon init, this roster might go hard

What we thinking?
Don’t think a team change is enough for split 2
Macro play + mid igl obviously a problem
But taking anyone out feels unfair when they’re all individually cracked but synergy so ass
