their staff just takes turns shitting on them LMAO i respect it tho

this attitude is what gets players to grow while "nice" coaches just laugh it off and stagnate

he had a bad series it happens, no player has banger performances every single game

vanity needs to hit the voltaic benchmarks

i love the overconfidence that comes with an event win, happens to every team's fanbase

ngl he probably knows the chat will be annoying as fuck lol

only two rounds this just two rounds away that

u sound like an NRG fan bro wake up

ok ya the old one jump scared me
either way i think navi gets too much respect off of reputation when they havent showed anything in years

emea average is getting heavy lifted by some questionable decisions

geng showed higher quality and more dimensions in their gameplay at Madrid than PRX did with jinggg

Wise af Statement my G... #1984 #WhatTheyDontWantYouToSay

i like how he practiced yoru like 80 games in a row in ranked and then never played it in a match

I'm a yay believer (just not this season because sScary IGL is a fraudulent decision)

His resurgence will come

Literally 1984

socrates is an apt description because he mainly toiled with idiots trying to explain basic concepts to them

paper rex looked like absolute dog shit in that game, they starting playing to their level afterwards

their odds of qualifying is still very high xd

didn't mw have influence over building the furia roster, at some point its on him

sacys career will outlive valorant

he went pro in league, valorant and he will pivot to the riot fighting game once its out

2XKO Grand Finals -- Sacy 3-0 Leffen

my conspiracy theory is that there's some higher ups at DRX that are pressuring them to get value out of this DRX Prospects shit so they keep incentivizing the team to promote the players to the main roster or at least try them out

idk why ppl think bleed even have a chance they're hard underdogs. if the stars align and everyone just shoots head maybe but its like TLN 70-30 odds

It's sad because most of them stopped fighting back after MEMEA collapsed in groups. Hopefully they improve slightly but not that much so that they at least have some hope before the disappointment

tuyz and less are the only consistent carries for LOUD atm, i don't see it as enough. they could definitely make it as that third spot but i don't expect much

bro is writing fanfiction

This is an epic description of Paper Rex that doesn't apply to any other apac team we see at LANs lol

you didn't link anything lil bro

my only hot take is that prx might not make it. DRX are gonna improve super fast while their rookies improve and T1 is already dangerous af

(I know some people still assmad about the standing up idrc)

• Grind since beta coming from Overwatch
• Go to Japan to join Crazy Racoon
• Learn how to IGL in a different language
• Get fucking owned at LAN
• Go to NA to compete again speaking a different language
• Come back to Korea and do ok
• Get cut because the team disagrees with your vision
• Join a totally rebuilt roster with a ranked player and a guy whose last LAN was 3 years ago
• Stomp entire region
• Get 2nd at first international LAN together, instantly getting the best result for a Korean team EVER

this guy has evolved so much since the og days, literally insane. i used to think his IGLing was mid af but he completely proved me wrong

I was happy with either team winning tbh, but it was really great to see Zellsis step it up at the end and take them across the finish line. Something about it felt right.

I feel like people lost perspective regarding GENG now that they got so far, when this is legit a team of misfits. SEN are a championship team that put together some of the best players in Americas. GENG was a bunch of players nobody considered too highly (besides texture) and it's so insane that they even got this far. So happy for them even tho winning would have been even sweeter. If they got this far on their first event together other teams should be scared of their future

VLR forum users should be able to put up their yearly salary with proof so we can earnings check each other

nah, they showed insane fundamentals. none of their gameplay was fluked or lucky, they just played good ass valorant
they'll be able to match anyone that shows up at shanghai

in this case GEN are just such a new team that going undefeated hurt them, they weren't psychologically prepared for the pressure of a tight match

Cook

no, people here talk about "apac choke" "apac curse" but GENG (LoL) are ACTUALLY chokers
what we see in valorant is NOTHING compared to them there

if the last map was closer it would probably be my favorite series OAT

it's like a fat dude making fun of someone's appearance man, like there's nothing else to say

we don't know his impact outside of the game, you could replace him with someone who gets 5 more kills every map guaranteed and the team can become much worse because of intangibles

geng look world class, why change what isn't broken. if they went out in swiss stage i would understand lol

nothing pisses me off more than loser ass fans that keep parroting "curse this choke that" like leave that to the actual haters lol

anyone that has eyes can see how insane geng are, they came from nothing and already reached this far. they will do well this year

self hating fans are more cringe than the worst haters my god go have sex or something

2022: LOUD 2nd at Masters Reykjavik, 1st at Champions 2022
2023: EG 2nd at Masters Tokyo, 1st at Champions 2023
2024: GENG 2nd at Masters Madrid, 1st at Champions 2024

nah i hate this pacific curse pacific choke shit respect the teams, they rebuilt their team from nothing and made it to grands undefeated

crazy team, literally came from nothing, set up to win this year for sure

Sentinels shit stomp 13-0 Zekken drop 50

1. i think it's cool that they added a nb character to valorant
2. i don't really think it matters how you refer to them in game
3. any discourse about this is cringe
4. being weird about this is mega cringe

i love international events man

that's not enough tbh, getting to grand finals undefeated deserves a valid bonus because technically every other team had two chances. if u go to grands from uppers then lose it's like you only had one chance

bro that ult looks insane wat, if it works the way i'm assuming it's consistent high value

smokes deployed same way as brim ipad

1 projectile with effect i couldn't really make out, maybe silence or stun

ultimate seems to be always active once you have it, when you die it gives you a brief moment to decide if you want to self res, if you do it consumes orbs

c ability not shown but it looked like it activated on kill similar to reyna soul orb

well the difference is that it looked like they solved split in terms of protocols and retakes that looked unstoppable

for lotus they just have an excellent understanding of the rotations and timings, and that's literally the most important aspect of the map
