if they aren't tier 1 please explain to me how they achieved such placements at those events.
EU ≠ win tournaments
All regions>EU
Why so mad EU?G2 got eliminated in LBRQF
I love you Brazilians but your region is 1 team only every other team has not done anything in the past year
sentinels were the best during their run at 2021 reykjavik 2021 though, undefeated was a fluke tho
loud, zeta and prx really showed improvement but we cant tell until the next big lan (or faze clan invitational)
yeah this was the biggest fluke no question. they went from losing to 100t to winning champions to losing to BBL
then how is gambit still sticking with the same 5. gambit won masters 3 and then made it to the finals at champions how tf could masters 3 be considered a fluke. the hardest team acend beat at masters 3 was SMB
won Masters 3 after losing to 100T.
G2 and Envy played like shit in the playoffs.
got 13-0ed right after Masters 3.
hardest team Gambit beat at Champions was fluker krü.
Why cant just people accept the fact that teams and meta are ever-changing with this kind of game?? 'Though some teams seem deteriorate, others just keep on improving.
1) ACEND CHAMPIONS YOU FUCKING IDIOT, LITERALLY BAILED OUT OF A LOSS FROM VIVO KEYD WOW SUCH DUMB U GO BACK TO 2009 BRO
not fluke
They played really good at Champions and just got unlucky at Masters 1 because they had to play against fluker Optic
ALSO SENTINELS MASTERS 1 REYKJAVIK IS NOT A FLUKE RUN SINCE ALL THE OTHER TEAMS WERE STILL DOGSHIT AND DIDN'T HAVE GOOD STRATS SO THEY WIN BECAUSE EZ OUTAIM U DUMBRAINDEAD EU PERSON 2005 NOW GO BACK
The game was new, Sentinels dominated the whole scene at that time, so that means at that time no fluke
Optic same as Sentinels last year with the exception that Fpx wasn't in Iceland + Fnatic no derke + never thought G2 could win (M3C still better)
LOUD played well
Guard kinda expected lan choke (nerves?), especially when they started right in playoffs (cold)
Zeta and PRX both played really well and Zeta improvement immensely over the tournament. PRX still crazy W Gaming
Someone in comments mentioned Acend champions. They had the hardest run and defeated like every region in that tourney. Brazil, NA, SEA, EU, CIS. The best teams of these regions not to forget
In what universe was Acends run the hardest out of Champions? They faced garbage teams the whole way through till the finals.
Envy looked like tier 2 garbage in their game against Acend, Vivo Keyd was probably their lowest rated opponent AND THAT WAS THE TEAM THEY LOST TO ONCE AND ALMOST LOST TO AGAIN WITH A 7-0 FREE STARTING LEAD, Team Secret who looked absolutely flat in the match against Acend honestly felt like match fixing not even gonna lie Dubstep sucking Cneds cock midgame, Team Liquid looked just as flat as Team Secret and they played the worst valorant out of all the matches in the knockout stage (other than Team Secret).
Gambit was arguably the only challenge for them and even in the finals Gambit had so many questionable moments but I wont say that thats the reason Acend won cause the real reason they won was their cockiest player stepped it up for the first time and last time of his valorant career and actually did something that person being starxo. If it wasnt for his constant lucky and truly unbelievable multi frags they wouldnt have even gotten close, tho i guess thats gambits fault for sometimes not fully clearing things
so by ur vision, every team in the whole tourney was garbage, just acend was lucky.
cmon delusional sen fan. (nothing against sen)
its crazy how people are acctually mad at this post. Man VLR never ceases to amaze me
Optic legit run only thing that is bad for them is that they’re still 0-5 in maps against Emea somehow?
Rest all is good
Gambit - Champions 2021
They had the easiest group stage and playoffs.
Hardest team they beat was the fluker Krü. Every match was 2-1 and almost lost to tier 8 Vikings. The win against Krü in the semi final was fluke and undeserved
thats why I said krü was the hardest opponent.
but beating fnatic and sentinels is not a big achievement. Fnatic was the worst EU team at the event, they only got invited because Gambit won Masters 3
Lol these are such dumb takes. Valorant a new esports team dominate first year cause there's barely any completion. Now we actually seeing legit top tier teams.
