Past Matches
sadge
i think C9 2-1 but man this game will be amazing to watch
Bro really thought PRX could beat one of the title contenders
In his defense (and mine) prx played amazing in Copenhagen and had a pretty good run in 2022 while this c9 team is adding 2 huge pieces into their system. I expected this matchup to be THE coin flip of the first round not a 2-0 wash.
GG
DRX 2-0
drx 2-0
DRX PRX rematch hopefully
DRX PRX pls pls pls
prx 2-1 drx.
prx will win this time
DRX C9 actually the final, the winner of this match will be a champion
My God you're so hot
DRX 2 - 1 PRX congratulations
DRX vs PRX rematch pls
DRX vs C9 also lit
BBL 2-1 PRX
DRX 2/1 Prx
DRX 2-1 C9
DRX 2-0
C9 look scary, hopefully DRX can avenge PRX
C9 2-0
DRX got this
C9 played really well 2-1C9 hopium
C9 2-1
C9 2-0 DRX
El Diablo yay
🔥This match🔥
Holy giga banger c9 2-1 drx (very close maps)
hahahahahaha *very close maps
C9 2-1 DRX
banger one, 50:50 but #DRXWIN
yay vs DRX agian, i hate this rivalry
Come on DRX it's not the whole Optic it's just Yay, no way u guys lose this
LMAO, what a shitty post. Xeppaa literally got MVP yesterday and then you write this shit. Are you brain-dead or something kid
Yeah but it still not the optic right and hard carry of yay is not there so u don't think drx will be lot more easy for drx
C9 beat DRX last time they played and C9 has only gotten better.
DRX has also improved severly since 2021 champs
never denied that but so has C9. It's going to be a good match but if we have anything to go off it's C9 1-0 in matches vs them. Yay also 1-0 vs them
DRX has played with the same core, so has C9. C9 has gotten major upgrades to their roster since then and Yay is actually El Diablo to them. They lost to C9 without yay. and Yay destroyed their run in Copenhagen.
bro drx lost to yay like a billion times
three times iirc. once at reykjavik, once at istanbul, once at copenhagen. the games were always close, 2-1 and 3-2...
Yay + C9 on paper just looks hard for DRX. I just want to see some good Valorant, idk why I'm getting downvoted. Just stating actual facts lmao. Facts = bad
i wouldnt really care about vlr.gg users and their votes. i was just saying that the games with optic and drx have been really close. i really hope DRX get over their hurdle of losing to experienced NA teams.
to ez for drx my friend
BANGER GAME
DRX 2-1 C9 close game, at least one OT
Banger alert!
DRX has solid quality in any match. this will become some very good match
C9 2-0 DRX
Too easy for the boys
Too easy to get clapped sadly 😞
C9 2:0 DRX (26:6)ez
DRX 2-1 pls
DRX 2-1 13-11 4-13 16-14
C9 2 1
Giving My Energy For This Matchup 🙏
Stax Calling Insane
Mako Astral Form Perfection
Buzz Hitting 360 No Scopes
Rb Clutch Factor
Zest or Foxy9 Insane Spray Transfer
Fuck me its c9 again
Hopefully DRX gets their revenge
2-1 DRX
why yay again 😥😥
drx have a trauma about yay and yes we are fucked up
drx time for revenge
I believe in yay
GIGABANGER ALERT !!
Banger match
DRX are yet to beat an American team right?
C9 got this probably
C9 2-1
I have no idea how this is gonna go. We barely saw C9 break a sweat against PRX. How good are they really? I honestly didn’t see enough to pred them. There’s no world where DRX give them as many rounds for free as PRX did. I’m sure we’re gonna get Pearl and that it’s gonna be a BANGER regardless though.
Nothing against C9 but I just gotta go 2-0 DRX
first tier 1 game
2-1 DRX
after watching both of these teams I'm starting to regret my DRX choice in pick'ems. Gotta stick with my gut and just say that this should be an absolute banger. C9 looked dominant on their map choice & even took away PRX's after figuring out what they had with the sage (which they've probably never seen scrimming in NA). DRX on the other than took 2 of their 3, arguably, strongest maps (fracture being the third here... which BBlL banned... not ascent.)
Excited to see what C9 can pull out against likely stronger competition, I'll take DRX 2-1 in a close map 3 Pearl.
.
my heart is going to explode in this game, i just know drx is going to throw their lead at some point...
DRX 2-1 C9 rb goes crazy
Banger match
DRX PLEASE win, I need something to mentally recover from the C9 PRX game
I can only hope that DRX will survive c9
DRX win
NRG
LOUD
C9 DRX o2.5
EG
easy money
I picked C9 here. Either way, I'm happy though.
btw if you picked PRX to beat C9, you're noob
Arguably the best 2 teams in this bracket
Also riot needs to make these insane tournaments double elim for sure
DRX 2-1 C9B
DRX 2-1 very close game
DRX 2-1 C9
Yay The Goat 🐐🐐🐐🐐
i will be preparing a large bowl of Bolognese to devour during this spectacle
What is that ? ^_^
I am from future, DRX 2-0 dominate. mark my words
DRX 2-1 C9
close match, hopefully we get to see foxy9 play.
DRX 2 - 1 C9
no xeta no win
DRX 2-1
DRX
we could know which one is better between optic and c9 from this match
drx 2-1 c9
C9 2-1. DRX get ptsd from yay and choke the 3rd map
Foxy9 drops 50
C9 2 - 1 DRX
this should be the final match
gonna be a banger
Hope it goes 3 maps with OTs
drx 2-1 c9
honestly massive w don't mind either of these teams advancing
Banger match
DRX 2-1
1-2 C9
C9 2-0 DRX. Xeppaa drop 40 kills per map.
C9 2-0
Yay's midround kills and positioning always ruin DRX.
C9 beat PRX effortlessly without having Zellsis or yay pop off.
DRX STRUGGLED against BBL and have shown more (also, not much practice w Zest since they were mostly scrimming with Foxy9 before 2 weeks ago)
Buzz OP is inconsistent af (esp in map 3, he loses gas quickly). Mako will still be insane but C9 has better firepower overall esp if all the players pop off.
Yay > Buzz
Vanity < Mako
Xeppa >= Stax (since he has to focus on IGL
Zellsis > RB (RB drops off a cliff in important matches, esp against NA TEAMS, he chokes the most)
Leaf = Zest (If leaf returns to form then def leaf)
Total cap
"RB drops off a cliff in important matches"
Kek
he did before, but he hasn't now
wrote a whole essay just to be wrong.... bro get a life
NA = Near Airport
Where is clowm9 now?
free odds DRX +1.5
DRX 2 - 1 C9
Easy money
el diablo will shine
DRX 2-0, vanity sends a toxic gesture after a clutch, resulting mako body pressing all of the c9 members which they all fainted shortly after.
c9 have big advantage, drx have yet to change their setups and main strategies for the old map pool so they can watch infinite vods
if they veto out pearl and lotus i think c9 should have it on lock
DRX WIN
cloud9 2-0
13-8
13-6
wtf is with the odds? Earlier it was 1.8, now 1.55 for C9. Anyone have information on why this might be the case?
EDIT: I would think if anything, odds might skew in favour of DRX..
If u think something shady going on here, it isn't.
No no, I just want to know if theres some information I'm unaware about that might affect the odds this heavily (usually a tweet about if a player has covid etc. would do this) Just wondering why would the odds swing in favor of C9 when I think DRX should 'on paper' be favorites
Odds changes usually happen due to sharps (bettors who have a high wr%) betting a lot of money on one of the sides.
That's fair, still a little crazy odds for a literal 50/50 matchup imo. We'll see how it goes :)
That's very untrue bro, don't fall into that vegas conspiracy shit lol
cs odds change constantly based on just whoever is getting more bets placed on them. Doesn’t even come down to the bettors win rate. I’m sure the same is true for val
That's not true either. It was true for skin betting sites but it's not true for regular betting sites.
Also like I said, the "sharps" were wrong... don't believe this media shit that there are these sharp bettors with high winrate lmao
Kinda makes sense from historical data, C9 beat DRX before and yay when in Optic shit on DRX most of the time
c9 fans coping so hard, be realistic plz.
Drx 2-1
Drx 2-0
DRX 2-1
Too easy for C9
2.3 on drx wtf???
C9 2-1
EL DIABLO TURNING UP GAME 3 JUST WATCH
c9 2x1
C9 beating the RX family
C9 2 0
C9 2-1 DRX
If yay still goes for chamber and others like yoru then
Drx 2-0 C9
dude I remember the breeze .... LET´S GO DRX
maybe c9 2-0
Acho que a cloud 9 ganha mais to torcendo muuuuuuuuuito pra drx mmuito mesmo eu quero que esses cara da cloud 9 voltem pra casa
drx will own c9 ez clap
C9 2-1 or 2-0. drx not in good form rn been practicing w foxy too much why not just start him say fuck it
Why is DRX the one having 2.3 odds? Free money I guess. NA really loves to overrate their teams lmao
drx free money
DRX 2-0 C9
if im wrong i'll edit my comment ez
W prediction
Praying for C9 win because I like them especially Yay, but realistically DRX probably wins
Lets go DRX
C9 2-0 is free money lmao ain't no way drx is winning a map here
Told yall
Lmao
hahaha i respect the conviction
C9 pick bro they literally beat prx on this map
Dont care. They're gonna 2 0 drx for sure. Drx mental gone
"mental gone" this ain't ranked bud. No FFs after 3 lost rounds
drx mental gone? more like c9 going home
that didnt age well
DaddyRX surely got this
another bedge 2-0 by c9
aim diff..
Ez for Xeppaa
Asian teams looooooooooool
PRX Owns Guard and DRX owns C9 cry
9-3 curse hopium.....
Daddy Xeppaa nom nom
daddy who??
daddy who??
bro is playing speedrun XD
Painful to watch
DRX were def sandbagging copium but 2-1 DRX forsure
PRX 🤝 DRX
destroyed by Cloud9 on pearl
so, what's the verdict. C9 just too good on Pearl? or PRX and DRX are ass on Pearl?
Yay needs to get activated not good in the long run (+_+)
1-1 for sure
agent picks of C9 so bad
cypher on haven makes no sense lol
c9 give drx free map win lol..
i think pick a defenes side at haven is stupid. this map is big attack map rn
like said this combination of Phoenix and Chamber is too much frag dependant there is not much utility going on there. Not fan of this comp on haven pick either chamber or phoenix but not both.
Lets go easy 2-1 drx quick money all in house lol
ggs C9 but Drx win Icebox here les gooo
Why so easy? Loolll no way drx had 2.3x last map
I didnt watch map 2 but map 1 crowd was supporting c9. Map 3 drx?? Why xd
vanity karma???? Map 1 was simply warm up for DRX the way things are looking
lose 3v1 ----> lose game + tilted
All these trash talk and antics to lose like this 😐
DRX is LOCKED//IN
WHERE IS THE BYE-BYE NOW??
BYEBYE vanity
NA tears🤣🤣🤣 EASY DRX WORLD CHAMPIONS🏆👆🏼
The NA has been humbled.
never slept its 4 am here, close it out boys #DRXWIN
Vanity keep shaking belly 😂
MCE learning that just because you beat someone who talked shit doesn’t mean you can’t be beaten after talking shit. The lesson to everyone? Just be quiet and let the results do the talking.
Dude was holding grudges towards PRX for a supposedly "rude" behaviour that happened a year ago, then proceed to do exactly the same towards DRX lmao
bro he's just a snowflakes. imagine a team living rent free in his head this whole fucking time lmaooooo
and they get ecoed lol
NA KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
average C9 throw
I bet if Tenz was there, his jett would've got 40
LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I NEVER DOUBTED ONCE
LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG DRX
NICEEEE #DRXWIN
stax my king wp
LFG!!
PRX LOSE TO THIS CLOWNS?
These* but allg

unlucky on map picks i guess after seeing this.
Lotus is unknown and Pearl turns out to be C9 best map
map picks diff imo.

GG
good to see harbor owning, vamos!
VAMOOOOOOOOOOS
Harbor Indian pride
holy moly
Nvm good shit
Make waves
C9 rlly gonna be the only America's team to not make it to semis in alpha
because they succ
DRX is insane, love it
imo.. coach is to blame. match was over once he had his face in his palms. thats the gesture of utter defeat and "holy crap.. idk what to do". but credit to DRX. they are on a roll even before sao paulo. imo , they can hang with any top NA team. One of the few that can. other teams have1 or 2 players that would be of NA talent. DRX shines as a team. Hope next time c9 got it together and fixes their issues so that we can watch these 2 teams battle it out and actually performing their best. now THAT would be a banger match to watch!
DRX mental is crazy
Stax is a GOD
Vanity 🤣
I like the look on vanity's face when stax waved goodbye to him LMAO
goodbye vanity lol
Taunt More, Vanity! LOL
Gg Cholesterol 9
