Nah. Everyone was expecting NA to be the strongest region this time around even based on the fact that they have Sentinels. Gambit could have won their game against 100T and were dominant on first half of the game. Sadly they choked and 100T clutched. Acend had bad read on VS while VS knew exactly what Acend was going to do. Bad individual performances from majority of Acend players as well. G2 isn't the greatest, but they would win against most of the teams outside of NA, EMEA and VS. Huge overreacting from people. And LAN SMB seems to be pretty weak.
That's a lot of coulda/shoulda/woulda. The fact is that EMEA is struggling this tourney.
These teams are just overrated af,fnatic and liquid both played better on LAN than smb or acend,gambit Def has potential they just had a unlucky choke and Lost their mental
Agreed. Too many shoulda woulda coulda. It seems alot of my brothers are struggling to admit we aren't the level we thought we were at this point in time.
Outside of SMB not really. Unless PRX or CR pulls the biggest upset ever there's going to be 3 EMEA teams in the playoffs and the games there are going to be single elims. 100T had all the chances of winning over Gambit (I actually predicted them to win) and VS had all the chances of winning over Acend (they were clearly underrated based on predictions and their gameplay against ACE). G2 was put into same group with Sentinels, but managed to win both of their games against F4Q. EMEA isn't struggling unless you expected them to dominate every region. OUTSIDE OF SMB!!
If you only watch region's wins and loses then yes. But, if you actually watch the individual matches then not. I've said many times that SMB is struggling, but outside of that Gambit, Acend and G2 really aren't.
NA is the strongest, they still haven't lost a match meanwhile all of the EU teams are in lower bracket. Can't win against NA, can't win against Vision strikers, and now can't win against SEA. The copium is real.
Sentinels NA #1 winning over G2 EMEA #4 is expected. Gambit were dominating 100T, but ended up choking 10-3 lead on match point map. And their mental was just boomed on Split. Vision Strikers played really really well against Acend and they were super prepared for every move Acend made. Both teams played really high level of Valorant, but VS had the better read and were able to win. I didn't predict this to happen, but it was completely possible. SMB is performing bad and that is what I'm going to say. We literally only had 1 proper NA vs EU matchup, since you really can't count SEN vs G2. And 3 KR vs EU matches were G2 won over F4Q twice and VS won over ACE. And Envy is in pretty free group tbh and they were expected to get 1st seed. That is not copium.
do you know the meaning of that word? Because thats not how you use it.
Never thought I would have to argue with my own kind, but you're making it real easy
Yes I know it more than you do.
All the G2 fans trash talk SEN for dropping a map and when they lose they say "NA #1 seed and EU #4 so this was expected." This is not copium?
Then all the EU fans say "Gambit is gonna destroy 100T" and when they lose they say "they are new to Lan and just choked" This is not copium?
People make threads threads on "How can VS beat Acend" and when their team loses, they are no where to be found.
you have no basis to say that you know it more than I do but well done you know what copium means. Now tell how "COPIUM" was a relevant reply to my comment??
By that "COPIUM", I was referring to his comment cuz you said talk now. I wanted to end the conversation with him but you didn't want me to.
We need to have one qual for EMEA not separate into EU, TR and CIS so flukes like SMB wouldn't happen again
ye fuck G2 they are so inconsistent, after they lost to FPX like 13-4 13-4 and than won couple days latter I called that they gonna do that again and give free win for some random team
If you can lose to trash teams like FPX or SMB and other day be first to win a map vs Best team in the world on LAN. You are hardcore inconsistent team.
even trash NA teams are wins 1 map against SEN. its not a big thing for sen but big for trash teams like g2
Not on LAN, anything can happen online, especially in a game that favors high ping and playing aggressive
