Past Matches
Eu to torcendo pra KRU, mas ganhar da FNC já é ser muito otimista ... A KRU pra mim fica em 5-6 th, oq é muito bom!
FNC 2-0 why tf does fnatic have to play a play-in but neither brazil team does??
LOL thats hilarious. Cant wait for SEN to take a dump all over fnatics stupid european faces.

You went from shitting on Sen when they were underperforming to being “FNATIC is my favourite team from EMEA” to being Sen fan girl to shitting on FNATIC again. Get your limbic system checked, something’s wrong.
Bro you went through and analyzed my post history where it’s pretty much all up frag bait and random bullshit lol
my guy he is a plastic fan that shits on teams when they are bad but when they win they love them
or maybe he's a fan of both teams, but likes SEN just a little better? use your brain bro
So much anger.
Who took your cookies and why are you dumping all this annihilating babyrage onto us? :)
if the brazil teams lose they go to lower round 1, if fnatic win this and lose against sen they will go to lower round 2, brazil play 1 less game then them but losing will take them to the same spot. also its all randomized other then sen liquid and i think vikings so it was just unlucky for fnatic.
they do this with regions that they think are stronger, in this case riot finds north america and europe stronger regions and brazil in third
Didn't VKS players hype the LATAM teams up? Combine it with FNC player's lacking LAN experience.. Potential upset? I'm going with it:
FNC 1 - 2 KRU
EDIT:
TOP#2 Brazil according to VKS, huh? YIKES, I guess that just happen..
KRU is a very good team, but I think fnatic is one of the candidates for the title!
FNC 2x1 KRU
boaster and derke have a lot of smaller lan experience from cs, while except for the lan qualifier match, I've found that only Klaus has had any prior lan experience
So you are saying that KRU is better than Gambit right? Because Gambit lost to Fnatic 0-2 and KRU will lose 1-2?
Lmaooooo...
Fnatic ban Split, KRU ban Bind.
Icebox, Ascent, Haven will be played. Everybody knows that Fnatic are cracked on Haven / Icebox and very good on Ascent (better than Gambit on all these maps for sure).
So if KRU somehow take 1 map, my statement makes sense.
we know how you like to talk shit so just stfu until the tournament, rn you are giggling in your room while sucking your fingers covered in cheetos saying "im a master baiter" lmao
Poor KRU, unlucky draw, if they get placed against X10 CR or maybe even Sharks, NUTURN or V1 I'd have them winning but FNC is just too much, rip
KRU copies TL's style of playing. I believe that they can win. 60% FNT x 40% KRU imo.
Ok now look at HS% of TL/FNC players and then look at HS% of KRU players lol, and it's not just one example, it's been going forever like this
KRU is worse both mechanically and tactically, if you believe that they have a chance in this match you are either biased or stupid
Man, I gave my opinion, percentage of HS is the most useless statistic of all. KRU trains against VKS, Furia, Sharks, Gamelanders, Havan, Slick, etc, every week and they do very well, if Fnatic thinks there will be an easy confrontation they may be surprised
Nem tenta Rei, ele provavelmente vai te dar alguma resposta estúpida. Maioria do argumento desse cara é baseado em porcentagem de HS
FNATIC will be the most respectful team in the whole tournament. There‘s no way they will underestimate one single opponent. Tbh looking at plat chat, Sacy and Saadhak were way more overconfident than any FNATIC player
What is going on in ur head? how can you use a useless stat like hs% to explain skill?
Look at tenz. Known to be the best aimer out there. he has insanely low hs% for being someone with that good aim. HS% not = good player
1 week ago I predicted the match...KRU, the reality is so hard. Dont be haters Chile, Argentina we speak the same language :)
KRU 2 - 1 FNATIC. Very interesting opening match. Both are great teams and Fnatic is obviously the favorite here. LATAM is not a very popular region so most people aren't aware of Kru's level, don't sleep on Kru.
The hope of KRÜ on the international stage is mainly based on scrimbux mentioned in an interview. Those scrimbux interviews never really pan out do they?
If they do they might as well take the whole tourney.
KRU 2 X 1 FNC
KRU players will scream when they win rounds and fnatic players are goin to choke
According to Sacy (Sova for VKS), he said KRU is top 2 if play in BR.
that to me shows how weak BR actually is, not how strong KRU are.
FNC 2-0 KRU
I wish I am an intellect like you . i wish i have a way with words like you do.
time will teach you not to belittle latam for no reason, I guess you never saw our game because otherwise what you say would make no sense
I really want to see KRU winning, but i guess It Will be 2-1 for FNATIC
i think fnatic is the best team in the tourney, but my heart is telling me KRÜ 2-1 FNC
2-0 FNC, KRU is one of the better minor region teams but they aren't beating Fnatic
KRU should win this, I genuinely think they are the better team even though FNC is good KRU is friend with brazil and BR stands for "BEST REGION" so KRU wins here
Serious upset potential right here, I think Fnatic takes it 2-0 tho. Boaster just too big of a nerd he was watching their vods while in quarantine
people have been saying KRU are the biggest dark horse in the tourney so I hope they give us a match
I'm HOPING we get a good match but I'm FEELING it's going to be a fnatic playground
Beautiful opportunity to bet against FNC as a fan of FNC. If they lose, you're down on the fact, that they lost, but you get 8x your money. If they win, you're happy, that they won and lose your money.
I call it emotional hedging, you can't lose!
KRU 2-1 FNC
FNC should win under normal conditions but as the tournament PCs are not good they will not be able to show their best performance unlike KRU because in latam we do not have the best hardware so this will not affect them so I could rather say that it will become a advantage for this team
En español para mis hermanos latinos:
FNC deberia ganar en condiciones normales pero como los pcs del torneo no son buenos no podran mostrar su mejor rendimiento a diferencia de KRU pues en latam no tenemos el mejor hardware entonces esto no les afectara por lo que mas bien podria decir que llegara a ser una ventaja para este equipo
Stage PCs are really good tho it's their practice PCs that are ass. So KRU kinda might have had an advantage in prac because of that wich would explain the scrimbucks.
That's not true. KRU is a team owned by famous argentine football player Sergio Kun Aguero. They have the resources and a very comfortable budget. KRU is used to play with decent pcs.
Quizá no me deje entender bien, quería decir que tristemente por nuestra precaria situación económica en Latam al inicio probablemente no usaron pcs muy buenas mas bien te podría asegurar que jugaron en calculadores por mucho tiempo por lo que tienen una ventaja respecto a otros jugadores pues ellos en la mayoría de su carrera no usaron buenas pcs muy al contrario de equipos europeos.
Maybe he does not let me understand well, I wanted to say that sadly due to our precarious economic situation in Latam at the beginning they probably did not use very good pcs but rather I could assure you that they played in calculators for a long time so they have an advantage over other players because they They did not use good PCs for most of their career, unlike European teams.
i'm worried about fnatic's lack of LAN experience. Literally 4/5 players in the team are teenagers with not much previous pro experience and Boaster was only in the UK cs scene. They should still win this though
also fnatic aren't scrimming any of the teams in iceland except liquid which could hurt them (or benefit them)
Fnatic open with 2 - 1. 1st and 3rd games would be easy for fnatic but they will struggle in the middle one.
I like the aggresive style of south america, so this first game will show everyone the clash between two teams with different styles.
Let's go KRU !
only 7 more hours till this match and im here doing hw hoping to finish by 2 am :(
por qué KRU tiene la bandera de Chile si es ARGENTINA PAPÁ arréglenme ya eso
Se pone la bandera del equipo, no la organización. Por tanto, al ser el núcleo de tres chilenos, le ponen esa bandera. Nadie discute que la orga es argentina ^^
Son 3 jugadores chilenos, 2 argentinos, los 2 coachs son argentinos, los que le pagan son argentinos, y ponen la bandera de los chilenos. Increíble. Fnatic tendría que tener la bandera de Reino Unido entonces
nunca pense que una bandera podria molestar tanto, debe ser por el numero de jugadores Chilenos pues como dices el equipo es Argentino
es como que le pongan una bandera del reino unido a Fnatic por mayoría de nacionalidad pero ponen la de EU, so sad bro. de última pongan una de latam
Los coach no cuentan, nabo. Solo cuentan los jugadores, ni la org ni nada mas, por ejemplo Fnatic: 2 UK, 1 Finlandia, 1 Croacia y Rep. Checa = Bandera de Europa porque no hay mayoría de 1 país . Aparte, no defienden a un país los equipos, defienden una región en todo caso.
should be 2-0 for fnatic, but its their first match, so maybe kru take 1 map before fnatic wake up
but no way fnatic lose this
This matchup is closer than most of people though tbh. I won't surprise If KRU take this
I've already got my copium tank next to me in case Fnatic loses.
so the technical pause starts on the very 1st day of the big event as what was happening in CS events.
According to BR ppl, Sacy said if KRU is in BR, they will be top 2. I wonder how well this statement will age....
I mean, who'd expect them to do any better? Gonna wait for the next map to figure out if they can put up a fight. But now it just looks like they are overwhelmed not only by FNC's playbook but by their individual skill as well.
I mean according to Sacy, KRU is top 2 in BR (if they play in BR).
Is that mean BR is weak? Or KRU is strong? you decide
Why doesn't KRU just play with only classic and frenzy? They seem using this meta to their advantage
why do shitty SA region have 3 teams meanwhile EU has 2 teams eligible lmao
KRU NEEDS A FUCKING PAUSE FROM HIS COACH WTF IS THIS? 12 ROUNDS SAME SETUP NO CHANGES.. ?
They used their tac pause (edit) after the 4 straight wins of FNC at the first half but it was overshadowed by the LONG tech pause
Does anyone notice there was no male agent in both teams on HAVEN. Female Empowerment GO BRRRRR
Ok Australia doesn't have a spot.... plus LATAM could play with Brazil to fight for a spot... like Riot made CIS and turkey do lol
KRU WTH? Didn't change set up the whole time. Getting flanked every single time lol! One strat team no flexibility shown
There should have been a 2 more European , 2 CIS and 1 Turkish representitive instead of all these South American and Asian trash
VIKINGS and Nuturn are good teams, but I agree too much spots for SA, latam should compete with BR like CIS and TR in EU
How about replacing everything with the Team from Europe? Man, this is a worldwide competition, respect all teams, and just watch it. if you don't like it, don't watch it. LoL
What's the point of LAN if they are not gonna show the competitors' faces? Not once during the game did they do that (except for the technical pause).
To be honest LAN is the only way to have international competition, that's a pretty big point.
That being said, I wish they showed face cams too.
they do show faces right beside the agents and the point of lan is so everyone plays on 0 ping .tbh lan is so much more fun to watch (if its a good match) :D
I think the point of LAN is, besides having 0 ping, to let the fans see live reactions of players after they make a play. I know they inserted a little cam on the right beside the agents, but I would like the production cast to switch to the players' face after they make a play. Just like other esports do (LoL, csgo, etc...) Just imagine seeing TenZ, ScreaM, any other great player getting 3K, 4K, or ACE and not showing their faces to the audience? Feels kinda off doesn't it?
what is coaches do in these SA teams
both in Valorant and LOL, they do such a basic mistakes, that makes me wonder why would you even pay to their useless coaches.
KRU didnt deserve this spot ahah constantly playing the same in defence while they were in 0-10
Lord GabeN gave CIS 5 slots for the CSGO major <3
Trash Riot fucked Gambit and the whole EMEA, instead brought in 3 south american teams, when 2 would be enough
And people are talking about how excellent Riot is
they have no previous tournament result to base their slots allocation on. Maybe after a year or two, the allocation will be different.
also 5 slot CIS for CSGO is because CSGO is popular in CIS and they had good previous result.
I mean, EMEA has like 3x playerbase of BR + LATAM all together, but gets less slots than those 2...
It makes no sense at all, even though it's a first ever LAN event.
Can you show me where you got this information? Not that I doubt you, but I've never read anything similar
I feel for your Region, but sadly that Riot is a business , they will give more slots to regions that have big viewership. And clearly that CIS viewership doesn't look good
Relax, it's just the first year of the Valorant tournament. So, maybe Riot is still thinking about the best format for the following years.
Imagine how boring this international lan would be if all these Europeans had their way and it was only Euro teams.
As one guy on this website said, merit > diversity
I understand that it's impossible to evaluate merit right now, but as we head into Masters 3, and if EMEA performs well, I desperately want Riot to increase slots for us
Otherwise they will be complete idiots
Nice first match. FNC looked like the better team as most people expected.
Excited to see game 2.
perdemos porque le pusieron la bandera chilena y ya sabemos cómo le va a chile en los mundiales
is this first game of Island? Im here like second time, on this site. Thanks
GAMBIT I MISS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Lets see how far KRU goes in lower bracket but i really think TR and CIS need at least a spot for each one of them
KRU is supposed to be really strong though. Sacy from VKS said if they are competiting in BR, KRU will be top 2.
Maybe is choking in lan or they had a bad day but they are far behind in terms of macro.
KRU won only 5 rounds through 2 maps and only 1 with full buys on both teams.
it is not even choking, they are just out macroed as you said. Not like they are missing easy shots anyway
Damn dude I expected a bit more from KRU
Fnatic playing reallyyy well tho ngl
are kru good? how did they make it to iceland ? or is fnatic just the best ever
They should show face cam after the rounds or when theyre showing a highlight
Just saying though, each team deserves their spot in Iceland. They don't make it? They'll have to do better next Challengers. Do not belittle other teams' effort and journey just because your favourite team didn't make it. If you think Gambit or any team should make it instead of KRU or any other minor teams, Then it's just the regional differences. Gambit failed to beat Fnatic? Then be it. That's the EMEA for you. You probably know how close the region is relative. KRU fought tooth and nail by beating Infinity? Then that's LATAM. A whole set of challenges and differences that each team needs to overcome.
And it's still not a reason to put down each team and change them with another just because the said team lost to the ones that eventually qualified. There are the winners and the losers. There are the ones that qualified, and the ones that are watching from their home/team setups. That's how it is.
I really think LATAM should have a spot in Iceland, and KRU has it well deserved, but top teams in TR and CIS should have the opportunity in LAN between each regions if they are different regions than EU.
Split EMEA in 1 TR, 1 CIS and 2 EU or at least put 3 spots on EMEA playoffs
They will have in Berlim, the uncommon spots happening just this time because they qualified only 10 teams.
Wow what a logic dude...
One can give EMEA 1 slot and Japan 5 slots, and say "There are the ones that qualified, and the ones that are watching from their home/team setups. That's how it is." Why not lol.
Maybe Riot should think about providing more opportunities for EMEA in the future VCT events, because what we are going to see at this event will tell a lot about which regions are dominant, and which are weak.
And I have no doubt that Liquid / Fnatic will finish on top, Gambit would too, if only there were 3 spots.

There will be dominant and weak regions. That's the nature of esports and competition as long as the concept existed. I have hope that RIOT will learn from Reykjavik and make some changes for the next Challengers/Masters. What you said is ridiculous and you know RIOT will never let that happen. But me and you aren't RIOT.
And I'm not sure if that's your EU bias is showing, but man you've been on a roll with these comments. You're just salty that Gambit lost to Fnatic and didn't make it to Masters, didn't you?
KRÜ Dissapointing performance.. i know they gonna bounce back from lowers hopefully.. Fntic is looking strong.
8 out 9 rounds that KRU have won was pistols and 2nd round (against eco/light buy). Talking about getting stomped on the actual gun rounds.
man
where tf fnatic found derke and magnum from!!!?
they are literally national trasure
They were also in the same school. They feed those kids a lot of peasoup and porridge I guess.
derke was fucking terrorizing t2 european teams and cis teams since he switched from CS, good on Fnatic for getting him before other EU teams tried to get him
insane start of the tournament. Couldn't ask for anything better, absolute statement game.
Its a good moment to remind that EMEA have 2 spots (Turkey and CIS with 0 spots)
reminder that turkey and CIS is part of EMEA.
that's like saying Spain has 0 spot
Reminder that LATAM, Korea, Japan, SEA have one spot more than Turkey and CIS. I know Turkey and CIS are EMEA but its so ez qualify in EMEA KEKW
Fuerzas para KRÜ se puede mejorar mucho mas en los próximos partidos, Suerte.
Strength for KRÜ can be improved much more in the next matches, good luck.
Les ha tocado en primera ronda contra uno de los favoritos, pero de todas formas les he visto un poco perdidos. Pero ánimo que con práctica puede hacerlo mejor
Reddit 12h ago: KRÜ is the darkhorse of Iceland, they have a good chance of winning the whole thing.
Reddit now: Fnatic just won against an easy team, chill guys.
and Sacy said KRU is top 2 team in BR if they were to play in BR.
now people pretend that he never said that lmao
He did not use is , but he use could be. The guys of gl said that KRU play below they showed on the scrims. Scrim is scrim, game is game.
KRU has not been disqualified yet I saw their game much faster than normal, I suppose their nerves played against them but they will continue to fight in the losers one
If you win both pistols and you lose the map, yeah, it’s almost criminal. Like you are 100% the worse team for that map. - coach sliggy
