Head-to-head
Past Matches
We really thought a Chinese team would be here? No
TL win 2-1 banger match
Or NRG win 2-0
PRX 2-1 M8
NRG 2-1 TL
I would like to apologize for doubting M8.
In terms of the actual match, Keiko is going to give his all and shit all over his former team. As much as I respect nats and Miniboo’s new consistent form, it won’t be enough. And if they prove me wrong, well played.
same!!! minny was nothing short of awe inspiring. starxo too, they did some old school beats and made it look great
whos not winning santiago??, p0000000000peeeeeeeeeer reeeeeeeeeeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxxxx
at least my team hasnt been grouped 4x in a row
marteen has you emea scrub
Keiko vs. nAts finally! :)
But this will be prob. a very clear 2-0 for NRG if Liquid plays just as they did against M8.
But Liquid also beat T1 2:0 and when they follow their ideas there and try even harder, they could have at least a chance. Nothing is impossible in this game. And MiniBoo and nAts already beat the best of the best, so... they need to forget everything they did against M8 and go for what they did against T1.
But yeah... I still think 2:0 NRG and if Liquid go for all-in maybe a 2:1 for NRG.
We really putting the best two remaining from swiss against each other and letting T1 or G2 go through.
Either way NRG 2-1 Liquid. Sorry to see you go nats D:
Liquid 2-0.
There is no discussion no debate. No amount of screaming from anyone else is going to change the truth that is the above statement.
You can cry all you want, disagree all you want. The outcome has been decided before your eyes see the stream tomorrow.
ggs mDd, you guys played well
Let me perform my tri-annual cry and grievance for TL
What made you believe that TL was going to win 2-0 and why not support an American team?
I actually like both teams NRG and TL.
In this matchup, I really wanted TL to win because I'm a fan of nAts
Call me delusional, but I really thought they'd bring out something that would beat NRG 2-0. Maybe it is just hope, who tf knows
NRG 2-0 TL.
Bind is NRG's permaban and one of TLs best maps. Their map pool simply cannot compete with NRG
and nrg gets the easy draw once again! who is surprised, i bet they'll get to play all gamers too
Keiko vs Liquid.
TL bans Pearl NRG bans Breeze
TL picks Bind NRG picks Corrode
TL bans Abyss NRG bans Split
Decider Haven
I accidentally put G2 and erased it LMFAO now I gotta over do it I'm so dumb
NRG 2-0
The mosquito comp on TL won't work that well against NRG, and they have better map pool
TL bans Pearl, NRG bans Bind
TL picks Breeze, NRG picks Abyss
TL bans Corrode, NRG bans Split
Haven Decider
been on BBL since the end of EMEA kickoff gng
cant support M8 for not letting FNC be at Santiago
cant support TL cuz group merchants
They took this away from us and then made them fight for their life... LMAO
TL ban Pearl, NRG ban Bind
TL pick Breeze, NRG pick Abyss
TL ban Haven, NRG ban Split
Corrode remains
skuba shows up
NRG 2-0
TL doesn't ban Pearl. They might Corrose or abyss. Liquid got its bind dismantled it gets floated.
yeah I agree, I think liquid will still feel confident in their pearl since it was a close game so they'll float it. most likely they ban corrode which they've always been awful on and NRG have always been great on
If Lulquid doesn’t win here I am going on a hatestreak against them
Firstly for my goat Trexx I have been since start and not beating NRG
PLS LIQUID I NEED THIS MY TL JACKET ARRIVES TODAY LET IT NOT BE IN VAIN
Liquid just need their confidence back especially Miniboo. would be nice to see them do a lower bracket run again
I want from us for this game... I was watching the game yesterday, and everytime they struggled, I see the Gio face nafig fully cooked... I want to see today even WORSE. I want to see how we nafig run them down and this guy thinks why he plays valorant. I want to see his face so nafig he thinks that 'I dont even know why i started that'. Let him nafig forget about 4 years he played the game, so he will remember that day...
Former bri*ish MI6 agent "Georgio Sanassy" alias "Keiko" is nowhere to be found after hearing the codeword "Kats".
Ayaz Akhmetshin was a lurking-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
The last whose team was fair and free
Between the VCT Circuit and the sea.
His wall was long, his molly was clean.
His shining panda afar was seen.
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his regen shield.
But long ago he lurked away,
And where he dwelleth none can say.
For into darkness fell his star;
In Champs, where the mickey-mouses are
Could anyone tell nats that a condom would compress his arm more than that dirty worn out sock?
yeah nats got caught on orb lurk but purp0 legit missed 5 bullets to a mada not looking at him then got killed
Mark my words chat!!
Team Liquid is gonna do a reverse.TL 2-1 NRG
Edit: Forgive me for I have sinned. This team is absolutely trash and I should have seen this coming.
tl gonna take out abyss just to get to map 3 and get stomped by nrg on pearl.
Nats: are we saving energy for the flights tomorrow?
whole squad kinda looking : damn right we are
they made too many mistakes and still lacking energy and confidence.
do or die for the horse people next map
Fnatic died for these bots that can't escape groups for their entire existance mehhhh
nats is literally doing EXACT SAME THING every round, idk what is he even doing thats actually pathetic
kamo and wayne are the only smart players on TL with the ability to adapt. nAts is IGLing and doing a good job but Liquid never go for a proactive strat, they just lurk and try to dodge the best player on the opponent team (like they always dodging Alfajer) and nAts simply press repeat every round, that's true.
Against M8 they still tried the exact same def-push even after 7x getting destroyed - they then were going for an 8th push and getting wiped once more. Ah - and MiniBoo is just braindead pushing 24/7 and nobody can trade him, while kamo is actually trying to roam on Yoru, which is good. purp0's Sova is good, but he plays wayyyyyy to aggressive as an Ini.
true, a good opinion
i have 0 faith in minibot, but when it comes to important moments, tl forget how to play this game
at least we see how purp0 improve since the start of kickoff, but others…idk
same problems and 0 solutions
Keiko really went to the other team cause he's tired of the TL's Group stage curse and now is sending them home. Yomayo
L to the nrg doubters tbf map 1 was VERY close if tl took map 1 this would be a different story
deserve to lose bunch of fradus
trashquid be always trashquid
maybe in the next life they can do smth
I was watching yesterday and every time they struggled I saw nAts face not looking good. I want today even worse I want to see how when we run them down this guy thinks: why am I even playing Valorant ?
Keiko's Inner Thought 😂
Karma doesn't miss 😘
keiko 13:1 MiniBoo says it all
MiniBoo plays and thinks about it later.
NRG deserved 2:0.
I think in the last years it was super close... and Americas, EMEA and Pacific all had crazy good and bad times between 2021 and 2025 - but every region had teams that could beat any team from all the other regions (except CN). But this year I think it's the first year where it seems to be VERY dominating by Americas when you look at teams. Pacific has PRX, EMEA has M8 and BBL - but no consistent performance internationally shown yet, Fnatic will be back for 2027 for sure and Vitality might be crazy for next season, too - but this season not so much... and Americas has NRG, G2 - 2 absolute beasts, then LEV, FURIA (similar to M8 / BBL) and then rebuilding Sentinels and KRÜ... so many insane teams.
So yeah, def. the best region on the paper. By far. But is that good for esports? No. Look at CS. Still insanely popular in NA, CN etc. and yet 95% of the success is made by EU teams. Not very cool. It was always so nice that Valorant had great athletes and orgs in every region... so many great events were carried by that fact.
I don't want an dominating region in Valorant. And when you look at Tier 2 in Americas, EMEA and Pacific I also doubt that there will be a fully dominating region for longer than a year. So many talents everywhere.
Carried by keiko and bonkar, typical NA trashcans having ego because they are only good at one game (Valulrant)
not an ego if it's a literal fact you can verify. Also if you unironically think bonkar is the role reason why they are winning you are just hard coping. Yes he comes up with a lot of their strats/protocols but in game its all down to whether the players can do their job.
fnatic died for this, i wanted to see veqaj and alfajer with his current form on an international
Fnc would've lost anyways
Meta doesn't favour them rn
35% round win rate on attack is really bad
