Definitely lower than average competition. Heretics got a sub, a bunch of last splits teams got boomed because of a brutal schedule, and some teams qualified over better better teams. Calling it a mickey mouse is dramatic, tho. There are enough good teams that the results are definitely still meaningful.

Have to be on a team to be a player

Playoffs have not been surprising, besides maybe one or two minor upsets. Who qualified to playoffs was what was unexpected.

I mean true, but definitely still debatable.

Bro really said shinobi. He was like fns but without good strats, so just ass.

Anyway, I guess like Rawkus? Maybe Autimatic. Idk.

Honestly it's understandable if people are uncomfortable about it or don't like the joke, but demanding to take it down and flaming is just weird. Just not that deep.

"retired"

Ye that dudes pretty fuckin weird

delete your account

I don't think FNS cares, but Nadeshot is def a lil pressed. Prob the whole nicotine thing idk.

If they lose they have to beat NAVI to secure their spot right? Otherwise it's in contention? Genuinely asking because I'm dumb.

ur just wrong. Marved could frag and carry on smokes, Zombs could not. His smokes were good, but I wouldn't say he was irreplacable on that roster.

no shot lmao that'd be so demoralizing to the players in the moment no way they'd announce it like that

idk? why tf do people watch all these valorant matches, or play the game at all. they like it, that's why.

Valorant content is pretty mid outside the games. Plat Chat has some actual entertainment and production value, so people watch them. They don't have too have perfect takes, they're called Plat Chat for a reason and they don't take themselves too seriously.

They lost even with their full formula homie. They might be slightly better with Aspas, but they might also just not mesh the same. Their doing great as they are either way.

Glad to see all these weirdos being banned. Besides some misses, the vast majorities of these bans are straight up malicious. The amount of baiting I've seen by fuckers with no life trying to make their dumbass point is ridiculous. Every other time someone saying "she" is corrected they reply back with some dumbass shit that warrants a ban.

I get it's "just a video game", but you guys need to understand there are consequences beyond that. If an entire chat refuses to recognize a gay character as gay and rags on people who do, then that sets a bad precedent and harms people who are gay in that chat. Same with trans people. It's not hard to be a decent human being and just address people how they want to be addressed. If you're corrected, just take it gracefully and you won't be fucking banned.

Honestly, 100T has a better chance than T1 and Navi. Bout equal with TH I'd think.

Zekken (This shit is a steal wtf?)
Nitro

Not really, no. Some of the bigger players come with egos, but many don't. The thing about these players is that they don't need to cultivate an audience in the same way and can coast off their skill at the game, so we can easily get weirdos who don't care at all about PR and are openly toxic. Haven't watched Aspas tho, so idk if ur right.

Calling Americas a one-team region as an EMEA fan is crazy.

fns and s0m, because clout.

creepy towards girls and kinda just weird in general.

ye it sounds like he has realistic expectations of it not working out. seems pretty ok with just being content creator for a long while.

i wish bro

"mistakes." crazy way to phrase it.
