Anyone saw that SEN 4v5 CR. TROLL
V1 2 x 0 CR
CR will embarass V1
EDIT:
There was a glitch in the matrix, wasn't supposed to happen.
Opposite
opposite opposite
so true!
yup.. CR is the team that dealt with the "korean jett" and V1 was stomped by TenZ who has similar gameplay. It will be an easy 2-0 for CR.
dosent make sense but ok.....btww sen bodied on cr in ranked without their IGL shahzam
And CR was playing with their coach. Your point? You can't base a team's skill off a ranked game.
aged like milk
sure about that
honestly CR did embarrass V1 here
this depends a lot on how well jammyz fits with V1 as a sub, should be an interesting match
it should be version1 vs x10
either way, I am looking forward to this
v1 2-0 cr
V1 2-0 JP poverty region only good at fighting games
what does poverty region even mean OMEGALUL?

CR are the worst team here so... V1 2-0
2-0 13-0 13-0 V1EZ JP is worst region in the world
Anime fans downfragging me for spitting facts LUL mixwell confirms what i expected from this japanese bots https://clips.twitch.tv/ProtectivePoorPorcupineMrDestructoid-1NmovVv0iNJDreeX
I dont know how V1 will play with jammyz, but I'd still say V1 2-1.
CR 2-1 i believe in the trash panda
V1 2 - 0 CR
V1 2-0
I'm going to go with a 2-1 for CR and map 3 goes to OT. V1's win condition is vanity. He's always been a good IGL and has brought this team to this point. Now he needs to deal with the temporary addition of jammyz and one of his first LANs(iirc). I was never a diehard cs esports fan but from my knowledge, vanity began to shine at the start of the online era when he was on Chaos so he needs to perform on LAN and get jammyz incorporated into the team if V1 wants to win this. Also penny and Zellsis need to ball out. They are incredible players but are very inconsistent so if they show up, V1 should definitely win. Honestly, of all the teams in this tourney, I have the most questions about V1, especially about how they'll perform on LAN.
Well while you are correct that vanity improved in the online era, hes been to 16 LANs including a minor in 2019. While this is the biggest lan hes been to, he does have experience offline. I personally have CR taking this solely because of jammys. If they had wippie I'd consider this to be much closer and probably v1 taking it.
V1 is a really unstable team, looking forward to see Raccoons wins in a 2-1.
Lmaooooooo u look so dumb
no, he really doesn't, it was a valid prediction and V1 barely won
I'm just having fun reading all the comments that did not age well and look at how naive we all were.
CR 2-1 V1
it will be V1 2-0 but I hope CR wins
Me too
2-1 V1 or 2-1 CR
Nice prediction, You took half of the 4 total possible outcomes. Great effort and analysis.
V1 2-0 CR (70% vs 30%)
V1 has better META reading and better players
V1 2-1 CR
Bye Bye V1
No.
Ratio'd by 2-1 V1 dub
It's double stomp.
Crazy Racoons 2 - 0. Can tell who hasn't watched japanese val.
What, not a chance you watched any game. No way you watched Japan and actually think that????????
why you getting downfragged LULW. they play puggy but don't have the same mechanics as the major regions to support it (as shown by the fact that they lost a 4 v 5 with sentinel's 2nd most impactful player off = that they are mechanically outclassed if they play 1 v 1s and this gem of a clip https://clips.twitch.tv/CalmVainShingleSSSsss-dqbGX5-Cot78XN8M how does a pro player miss half a clip. how does a pro team not have anyone protecting the sova in a straightforward 2 v 2) On top of this, just run through their match history. Against any team they regard as competent they ONLY have one comp on all maps except bind. And its an outdated one at that, without a single sign of astra or viper. The double duelist genuinely feels at least 2 metas behind (i.e skipped the skye/breach meta as well).
Unfortunately true as much as I want CR to upset V1 it’s going to be a V1 stomp unless Munchkin turns up and destroys V1 single handedly.
LMFAO WTF WAS THAT
CR 2-1 V1
CR 2-1 Neth and Zepher carry
I think this match will go to CR coz wippie is replaced probably 2-0
CR 2-0 here
CR are my dark horse. I'm gonna say CR 2-1 V1
neth is gonna stomp regardless of what the score it
I have absolutely no clue because V1 is already an inconsistent team and now they have a roster change.. ccan't predict this
Sentinels just beat crazy racoons with an afk player so....not sure what to think for this match.
Yeah, I think V1 will take this
CR was playing without their star player too so idk
it was their full roster, who is their star player?
they were playing with their coach instead of munchkin
lmao people are actually relying on ranked one.
2-1 V1 close matches though
V1 win 2-0, and it's not going to be close
Edit: It was much closer than I expected, GGs to CR
CR 2-1
Munchkin on Raze is a genuine threat, Neth can switch between duelist and sentinels pretty well, and the team overall is very balanced. V1 coming in with a sub will hinder a lot of momentum, and despite Vanity's IGL'ing and coordination, I don't think V1 will be able to overcome their struggle and be the first team to go to the lower bracket in Iceland.
CR 2-1
V1 2-1 or 2-0
Considering SEN beat them in a 4v5... they don't stand a chance ROFL
I'd say SEN can beat half the team which qualified for Iceland 4v5 lol
I still think V1 win though
I had seen some of their highlights and they didn't seem that bad, if they were not trolling against sentinals, this is going to be a stomp.
CR had their coach playing too, it was more like a 4v4.5
who is their coach?
they were playing with their coach "mun" instead of munchkin
lol I just thought mun was munchkin
nah thats just a coincidence lol
https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Mun -> this is their coach who actually is named mun
V1 2-1 CR
It's gonna be a great game
V1 2-0
wippie >>>>>>> jammyz
it will be tough, i think V1 still take it 2-1 but pretty close overall
Unless CR adapt I think Version1 is runs better agents and pick up on the meta fast. Zellsis, Penny, and Vanity especially hungry as well. V1 2-0,2-1 should be close maps nonetheless
V1 win but not having wippie is a huge loss for them, especially considering wippie was already a fresh pickup on a new roster.
I'll also go for the V1 2-0. Hope I'm wrong tho.
ez for v1
Do people actually think V1 win this?????
Who are you?
who are you?
Based and munchkinpilled
its all depends on how much jammyz can fit into the team
V1 2-0
Jammyz has had experience with some of the v1 players so i could still see them win this 2-1 but the inexperience still is there but i still feel v1 have got it.
CR win because of Sub
V1 0-2 CR
ez 4 v1
Mixwell: "We played against CR and it didn't look good, not at all... It turned out that the other day they lost to the Sentinels, who played 4v5" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Зато у них есть свой личный отбор на все международные турниры, в то время как СНГ и Турция должны выбивать европейских грандов ради каких-то 2-3 слотов 👍
Будет смешно наблюдать за этой помойкой, пока талантливые ребята из Гамбит сидят дома
link clip I wanna see it xd
just seen it... is CR that bad? they looked alright in their VCT
Probably the competition in JP and KR is not as high as in EU, NA,BR.
funny because BR team also look good in VCT. How you judging their compeition is not as high compared to BR?
Maybe BR is also like JP and KR living in their own bubble at the moment
But given the way better history in FPS games and the talent of some brazilian players, it seems more likely that they are actually good. Plus there are multiple teams on the same level, especially in Korea Vision Strikers dominated the whole scene for such a long time
CR had a coach so technically 4v4 :D
v1 2-0 cr ez
V1 for sure has been looking strong but not having wippie feels like a huge blow..
why isnt wippie playing? lan dodging?
wippie couldn't get his visa to come to iceland or something.
2-1 CR. Another Banger to start the tournament off with
Hopefully CR or any other dark horse region could bring the upsets in Iceland so that the tournament could become more interesting and unpredictable. But then again, even if CR does defeat V1 it would probably feel kinda weird since its not the real V1 with Wippie that qualified for Iceland.
V1 Player are really hard struggling in EU Ranked. idk, maybe CR will take it.
source?
EU ranked? XD EU ranked is full of bots
2-0 CR
V1 2-0 CR
TROPA DOS GUAXINIM MALUCOOOOOOO!!!!!!
VAMOS MUNCHKIN
Some of y'all sound like dumbasses thinking that CR is a shit team for losing against SEN in a fucking ranked game 4 v 5 lmao. CR was playing with their coach, and without their star player Munchkin, so it was basically a 4 v 4. 100T lost a lot of ranked games, but are people like "these randoms are better than 100T??? 100T WASHED??!?!?!"
There's also another belief that CR is bad because of scrim results. Scrimbucks don't mean a lot. There are a lot of teams with great scrim results but couldn't make up for it in the real game, or teams with bad scrim results but come out banging in their games. Hell G2, the team that Mixwell plays for, was pretty hyped in scrims, but they looked disjointed as hell in games.
Let's just see how CR does against V1 without having a kneejerk reaction about them losing a ranked game. Losing a ranked game is no big deal. Both CR and SEN are playing ranked in another region other than their own. Nothing to gauge from that.
according to the liquid rankings video, v1 have been getting stomped in scrims
Crazy how NA fans think their region is the best, Crazy Racoons got this in the bag. EASY CR 2-1.
As a Japanese, I want to see CR2-1.
Actually, it'll be V1 2-0 or 2-1.
EZ FOR SON OF STEEL
A clapping will be handed out by v1. Hopefully this game will put to rest the delusion that all regions are equal.
na will choke this
CR 2-1
CR WIN ALL IN !!!
...
Hopefully, DPS god Munchkin pops off. This should be a close game
stomp no 2 of the day letsgo V1
Cant really see any other outcome than 2-0 V1
Crazy Raccoons actually running astra kj on ascent? That's cool. No more omen.
V1 with these traps are so good holy
can't believe anyone doubted V1, not to hate on CR but I don't think their region has anywhere near the competition in NA
so you jinxed it huh? lmao, don't be cocky.
wait till they get to play vs Koerans lul
i see them now losing alrdy 8:7... KEK
V1 looking like they're going to ruin my pick'em right here right now.
People need to chill. Soniqs, also looked good first map vs Sentinels, before crumbling on the second.
The game is not over
NO WAY NA LOSE LMFAOOO
If V1 takes this map, they're running away with the dub imo
CR makes valorant look like overwatch LMAO
sad cr go full int at 10-10 after getting 2 entry xD
É 𝓞 𝓑𝓞𝓝𝓓𝓔 𝓓𝓞 𝓖𝓤𝓐𝓧𝓘𝓝𝓘𝓜 𝓜𝓐𝓛𝓤𝓒𝓞
Hella poor showing from V1. Won only thanks to zellsis' and penny's individual skill
Ok lost 5v2 KEKW
HOW DID V1 THROW THAT OMG1KL4312JI4321HU214JIO
they really lose that 2v5
WHAT A FUCKINGH MAP
if cr won in ot that wouldve been funny
omg, very close game
What a 1st map
Let's go CR you can do it, it's your map pick after this
CR pick Ascent;
Icebox is V1's map pick mate.
Whoops sorry about that it's 1.30 am here and i'm sleepy af
Thanks for correction mate
Lmao, CR could have won that last round If they played more calm, V1 so trash
wow close one
Let me say it RIGHT NOW, I DO NOT LIKE THE PRODUCTION CAST. How are they not gonna switch to players cam after winning? like WTF??? Not during the game either... Sadge
overpeek god CR
Cr win against trash NA
CR looking like a top 3 team at the tournament. Top 2 obviously being SEN and V1
Classic NA
zepher choked this game
Best players from CR are the koreans, NU would crush V1 really easy
everyone expected JP to just roll over, and not deserve a spot. glad they prove me wrong
Fucking sick game, kj choked on the important judge kill
he can't handle the pressure I think his heart rate went up to 200 that round
how did V1 beat teams like 100T?
Don't disrespect v1 like that, they were having good calls and good clutches. They just need to calm down a little bit during post-plants and they roll. CR took the fight to them and they got caught off guard. If CR kept the momentum it was an easy loss, great show from them in map 1
Everyone who went against V1 last challengers beat themselves.
They went to Iceland without one of their best players (Wippie).
they are also playing with a sub (and that sub is not really even a top player IMO).
They would not have qualified with Jammzy IMO. They qualified with wippie but he cant play here
They didn't beat 100t tho
content game
NA salary = 20K USD
JP salary = 2K USD
NA 13x11 JP xdxdxd
at least its not league of legends
NA salary = 2 mil a year average on C9
TW= Less than 100k
C9 lost 2-0 to TW
FYI: 1USD = 109 Japanese yen
Just to give you the idea, you can spend about a day traveling in Tokyo just under 1000 yen (9 bucks). So to them 2k usd is a lot of money.
Edit: I'm wrong ignore this comment. Also i should change my name to harvard_dumbfuck :(
Tokyo is quite pricey, 2k is nothing.
How much money will you need for your trip to Tokyo? You should plan to spend around ¥19,480 ($179) per day on your vacation in Tokyo, which is the average daily price based on the expenses of other visitors.
Yeah you are right. My bad.
Wtf are u talking about, poor people in JApan earn 3K USD, dont forget Japan is a first world country, 3rd economy in the world, 3K USD in tokyo u rent a really small room lol
Can't you read the edit 13mins ago?
Don't forget, V1 playing with a sub, on CR's map pick, 13-11 is kinda sad for JP as a region, not to mention Sentinels gets a higher salary and still dominate.
Despite CR losing a very close first map, i think the doubts on them have gone quiet. "ez 13-0 by V1" headass.
V1 are so trash c9 deserved iceland
They still lacked practice with the new players they added last minute. They are a strong contender for Masters 3 tho. But still, at the time, I think 100T will bounce back and realize that their old comp doesn't work and they need constant change.
they cant even beat V1, how you saying they deserve it?
CR Map pick with V1 playing with a sub... I call this an embarrassment for Japan
You do realize that Japan has a much lower population and much lower play time than NA and EU right? Mean while, you as a no-name saying its an embarrassment for ANY country, not just Japan, is kinda stupid. And I am not even supporting CR or Japan, just in general.
1
in addition, they are using players from korea that know japanese, but still it's much lower population than NA or EU region
You do realize that this logic applies to NA as Sentinels won everything after a week of preparation with a new player (TenZ). So ig the whole NA region is very weak since this team is able to dominate with a new player with low preparation. And the player swap was even more significant for Sentinels, sinatraa and TenZ dont play similar roles or agents.
Not sure about this example. TenZ and SEN would be a different case. Imagine TenZ replacing Jamppi in Liquid. Fairness in mind, would you say that Liquid wouldn't get even better and destroy more teams? SEN was already Top 1 team in NA, they lost Masters 1 because Shahz' father passed away and they didn't practice as a team in 2 whole weeks prior to the matches. So, its pretty understandable that they lost (and it was a very very close game like13-11 in all 3 matches against 100T)
Im just saying that people are taking the stand in situation of V1 and using it as an excuse if they perform poorly, when it likely wont have as much of an impact as everyone says or believes and this can be seen in past quick roster changes or stand in situations.
You can't compare the two situations for the reason pewpew lists. Not a well thought out take.

They won anyways so it's whatever at this point.
technical pause
guys what happened? why was this pause taken?
neth's mouse on fire
WAIT HUH? ACTUALLY?????
20 minute technical pause 😂
LAN btw 🤦
YOU CAN'T PLAY B SITE WITHOUT VIPER OR SAGE WALL.
It's over for CR!!
no viper no party baby. gg
I love Munchkin.
GG, good showing from CR. Nothing to be ashamed of.
GG what a close game
Hopefully CR bounce back and can get at least Top8 or even Top6
Really good game! Congratz to CR
🦝THE RACC WILL BE BACK 🦝
damn not bad for good old NA huh...
good performance from CR considering they were called the worst region in this tourney.
Good games coming from CR
My pick-em lives to see another day. Thank you V1.
GG to Crazy Racoons, played with heart and grit. Unfortunately, outmatched today but they gave a great test to V1. Good luck in the lower bracket
Such a good game, GGs to both teams
Would have loved a game 3, but gg to V1. Wasn't expecting these closed games as Japan was (probably) considered the worst region coming to masters
GG CR looked way better than expected
Jogão!
Crazy Raccoon looked decent, idk why people in this forum were expecting them to be destroyed.
nt munchkin
That was way too easy. NA #1
5th best NA team with a stand in... still nice and easy 2-0
Yea TSM with Bang is the best
Munchkin is a really good player. but V1 pull through, even if it looks a little shaky. I trust that they will feel a little more confident going into the future games with some time on the stage, and I believe they have a day or two until their next match so I think they'll be fine.
Edit: Scratch that, they're playing Liquid tomorrow. I think Liquid will beat V1 in the state that they're in right now. Still, they have a chance at a lower bracket run.
