I know, however, not always the best team wins.
Last tournament, for example, ENVY was, for most part of the people, not the second best team in the world after placing 2nd in Masters
In this case, GMB could have closed the game in many occasions, bu it did n't happened
Also, Acend had some bad performances, like the defeat against VK

It's about the best the team has shown, Sen hasn't shown almost anything besides the victory against Furia
VK had an amazing performance against Acned
Secret did really well against GMB and VKS
X10 defeated envy

Agree, just don't know if Acend is really the best team in the world, and Furia is probably better than VKS

I would say starxo or zeek, probably. One of them are going to win it.
Chronicle though, was, for me, the best in the tournament. (I know he is not going to win it because Gambit lost the finals)

That must be life changing LOOOOL

Everybody wanting to take Brazil slots away
The brazilian scene hasn't develop itself yet. Most part of the teams havn't entered in the scene yet.
Since always a country known for being on of the greates in tactical FPS, and you want to give them just 1 slot?
While NA, that has never done anything relevant to FPSs will stay with 3 and four.
LATAM has one pretty good team, but the other teams don't come close to it, considering that they couldn't even win the LCQ
I honestly think it's to early to take this decisions. In CS, Brazil neede some time before they became world champions, and the same goes for valorant

You guys have to stop choosing a player over the other just because his team went further in the tournament

1. Chronicle
2. Cned
3. Derke
4. Scream
5. Keznit

I think it's difficul to explain, that not necessarily the best team always wins dude
VK players were clearly affected mentally, no one could play well. Or do you really think that X10 won against the same VK that played against Acend?

ONE THING IS CERTAIN, AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE, YOU ARE A BRAZIL HATER
VK is probably between the 5 best teams in this tourney. Their performances against Acend prove that.
The team is pretty young though, and the punishment and all these issues affected them mentally. No one played well against X10, that had efficient well-prepared strategies to beat VK

The fact is; VK and Acend were the best teams in the group, even though VK didn't qualify
VKs performance was super good agaisnt acend, and they proved that they are a top tier team, better than NA teams, for example;
The punishment, though, affected them mentally.. Even being, individaully, much better than X10, they coulln't overcome that mentality of having lost against acend, and were beaten by a well built strategy by X10.

Nivera???? No, I'm sorry, but between him and Chronicle, there shouldn't even be a debate
I agree that Scream is better than deffo, but I don't know if could say the same about Jamppi when compared to sheydos

Sorry, but Shazam is better than Rb and Sick is better than Stax

Sorry, but Shazam is better than Rb and Sick is better than Stax

It's not about that, it's about comparing the pieces and players the teams have.

1. Gambit
2. Liquid
3. Sentinels
4. Fnatic
5. Acend and Envy
6. Kru, VS,
7. VK (could be in 6. as well, but due to the fact that the future of the roster is uncertain, they get 7. place)

LOOOOL you said so much shit roight now.
1st. It's not up to the sova to give that support, he 's the one who is going to reveal the oppoents positioning
2nd The most important thing for the dueslist is to be able to win trades, if they dan't do it, than it's their problem
EXAMPLE Tenz is still considered one of the best duelists in the world, and he does eveyrhting support at all.
Buit how does he manage to do it? Because he's, mechanically, a pretty good player

Best Sova player in the world, no doubt

Rumours say they are looking for Aspas to replace Nagzet.
I think it's a good idea. They need a star jett, somebody to be the star of the team.
With more firepower and individual skill, KRU would be even a better team, and that's what they are looking for.

Sacy > big gap > hiko

Even though, I don't think he would let his life in Brazil to live in a foreign country, honestly.
He hasn't friends or even family there. I hope he stays in Brazil

How is Sacy going to 100T if he doesn't even speak english?

keznit wouldn't be at top one LOL, not that much

Keznit is a good player, probably top 5 in the list of best BR/LATAM players

Sacy top 3 Sova players in the world

If they did that it would be a stupid decision, but OK, it's up to them to decide it.

The facts are hear, let's be honest...
Tenz - tier S player
Shazam - tier A player
Sick - tier S player
Zombs - tier B player
Dapr - tier A player

The roster is, indvidually, not the best in the world, that's a fact. After the super strong performances in Masters 2,
people started putting on them, the responsibilty of winning every international lan.
Their 2 other performances weren't so exciting as the first one. Even though, they also weren't super bad.
Basically, the team isn't brilliant tactically, so they have to rely only on aim, and mjust that. They neither have synergy as team, nor a good teamwork. With a good new coach and efforts they can still return to be a top team, the game has evolved and just idividual indivdual skill isn't enough anymore.

Dumb or not, they need to be warned about it before, and they weren't.

1- Even if VGIA did it before, its not their responsibility to know about it, if anyone warned them about it, than it should be legal.
2- If the REVs didn't see it, it's not VKs fault, but one thing is sure, they shouldn't have taken their win because of something that wasn't clear.
3- Basically, they just gave SEN a free timeout. Other players had already done this jump before in the tournament, it's completely normal.
Even though, you can not harm a team's comeback because you were unsure of a basic mechanic.

Exploit: No one had said it before that the cam wasnt allowed. Also, sentinels were reportedly seen using the same camera.
And why didn't they stop the game at the right moment instead of just taking VKs the win? Because not even the DEVs knew if it was allowed. (HOW SHOULD THE PLAYERS KNOW?)
In Furias game, there is absolutely no explanation for the pause, since other teams had already done it before and nothing happened.

Dude, so dumb
There is simply no way KR and NA are going to be better than BR in val.
BR has the tradition to be (besides EU) the strongest region on FPSs, while KR and NA are traditionally known for being bad at it.
Taking conclusions after just one year of Valorant and the (clear) robbery that happened is craziness.

DUDE, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT EU WILL START TO DOMINATE THE SCENE, JUST LOOK HOW MANY EU TEAMS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS

thats why I said in the future (for BR), or haven't you watched any other FPS besides valorant?

BR (in the future), Kr and LATAM are the most likely regions to stop EU

Dude stop telling shit
NA has also 3 and has never won anything in other relevant tactical FPSs
1 of these spots came from LCQ, which LATAM could also ahve gotten if they were better
2 wins, VK won against Acend, I refuse to accept that absurd they did to them

Hope?
After what riot made to furia and vivo keyd, there is no hope anymore LOL

Biggest scandal in the history of valorant what happened in this group

Both are trash in the end, lets be honest.
You can tell at least 5 or 6 better teams on champions

Dude
Look at these both teams
VK is just not qualifying first of the group because of riot

Acend won with everybody negative KD LOL

Honestly, the organizing of this event is being shit. Teams playing the biggest tournament of the year in the office, toxic fights, punishments, controversial
tech pauses and conflicts between the regions.
About this fight, in specific, it seems clear that zombs now thinks that he is kind of a fps god, because he has won one or two importnat tourneys in his career. Anyways, the point is: is riot going to apply a real punishment to sentinels or not
It's easy to punish VK, but now they have to punish the big ones. I don't know what should happen to sentinels, maybe they should start their next series already losing by a map, I don't know.

dude
furia > liquid apparently

Justice lol
You and me know that acend wouldn't have won it anyways

They didn't knew it, neither riot did, that 's why they took so long to take that decision.

congratulations for acend, the worst team "won"
"Brazil was cheating" dude, neither the developers, nor the players and nor you knew this cam was forbidden.
When they need to be fast to identify a problem how they did with furia, cutting their win streak, they are. And now, instead of cutting vivo keyd's streak, they simply gave them the loss, because they weren't fast enough to check if this camera was illegal or not.

dude, lets be honest, if envy is not carried by yay, than no team is carried by anybody.
They were literally in the final last masters because of him, just because of him. Envy is not a special team, they have a special player, just like acend does.
