I mean that is just not true considering there will be a crowd in Champions.

posted about a year ago

but yeah they lack confidence and the mentality for a Masters or Champions winner. They need now a psychologist and another analyst for general gameplans, midrounding that would help immensely and last for sure a different player lineup, I think this is the moment where you change one of the players for better ones.

"If I had a nickel for every time DRX went 2-0 in groups, won their round 1 in playoffs in a 2-1 reverse sweep, lost 1-2 to Optic to drop to the lower bracket, and then got knocked out of the tournament by a team they already beat in groups, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's fuckin absurd that it happened twice". - Nisham VLR user

he may does have bad mental, but he is just correct. DRX don't deserve to attend international tournaments with this lineup anymore, they need a psychologist and a big change otherwise Korea in Valorant is boomed.

They don't want to, they are literally not playing together just going one by one and throwing this series. They don't deserve to be here anymore, this lineup doesn't deserve it. They need a psychologist and a change in this team.

sadly they won't because they are playing so passive, Buzz literally did nothing so far.

I just don't believe in a team that immediatly does give up after a lost. Their mentality just is not made for a Masters/Chamipions winning team.

-Rb +Foxy9/Ssun.
Just put more guys on the roster that are more consistent.

It is just the same things all over again. Either they improve their mentality or straight up change players otherwise the results will be always the same.

It is just hard to have faith in DRX man, always when they have the chance to make an incredible run they decide to fall apart. Like they dominated Optic in the first map but then somehow crumble immediately afterwards, it happens so much in the international stage. They show they could be a top 3 team in the world and then just explode into pieces. Rb and Buzz were super disappointing in the last map especially Buzz because it was way more unexpected that he would be the underperforming guy.

FPX probably wins 2-1 or 2-0 because the mentality of DRX is probably the weakest in the tournament right now.

And it was against a comp they created themselves lol

With how established they were in APAC for a decent time, I actually thought they had enough points alone from stage 1. Kinda sad tbh that they don't, they kinda fell off but at least there are other teams that could make a name for themselves instead.

posted about a year ago

You are actually right. I forgot that they didn't have enough points for some reason I thought they had enough lmao.
nvm then count them out KEKW

posted about a year ago

But you forget Zeta,

never count out a Zeta even tho they lost against NTH in their own finals, the quality of players are still absolute insane and they could damage again. They were just quite unfortunate that the off day they had was exactly on that grandfinals day were NTH was hitting every shot. They are still a top team that could do insane damage especially now when they are JP's only hope again and have the motivation to improve themselves.

There also are two other asian teams qualifying in the APAC N LCQ and APAC S LCQ, some of those teams are potentially as good or most probably better than Xerxia at least.
In APAC N you have 3 KR teams Maru Gaming, DWG and Ons, the last two are currently in a rebuilding phase and trying to build another super team in KR. Those teams are not bad at all with the only problem they ever had faced being DRX and not being able to ever beat them to qualify for an international event.
For the JP representatives in that LCQ you get NTH, CR and Reject all teams that showcased to have good potential especially with NTH who have good firepower that needs fine-tuning in strats and comps.
As the Chinese representative you have Kone and EDG both teams that were playing most of the time in the depths of the underground scene in China. Although they never officially played against international teams, they are both regular scrims partners for the top teams in Asia. Most known being EDG who are said to be scrim demons beating and stomping top teams like Bleed in practice. Although they seem to be tactically behind, the players themselves are no weaker than top tier teams Life and Zmj notably aimgods who can and will destroy teams.

For APAC S you have teams like Bleed, TS, ONIC and many others. A team like Team Secret have been on the international stage before and they surely want to prove themselves again to reach further heights than they had accomplished in 2021 Champions.
Teams that could definitely catch somebody off guard if you are underestimating them too much.

In all this will be the event that has the highest probability ever to get an Asian winner with six potentially insane teams that have all a chance to make a good run for Champions.

posted about a year ago

There shouldn't be automatic spots anyways if you just have more teams, I really don't get why Riot decreased spots after Champions
I get you tho, It is reasonable but yeah it all depends on Riot tbf.

posted about a year ago

I'm just lucky that I can ask somebody who works with a top team in that regard OMEGALUL
It just gives you a lot of insight in the roster of teams and how they play in scrims currently.

posted about a year ago

They are good, but they put themselves just not in a good spotlight KEKW
I would have liked it if Pyth and Ardis would have met again. Which was possible if they don't throw, it is what it is tho :/
the team is also very likely to make franchising from what I have heard so far.

True

posted about a year ago

Bleed and yes they are still top 4, guys would have made Masters if they don't throw a 12-8 against Xerxia lol.

posted about a year ago

They beat a top 4 Apac team harder in scrims than DRX did (actually stomped them) and that particular team beat DWG pretty easily in scrims themselves. I am just going from scrims in that regard, they are also known aim demons with players who look very insane.

scrims are always not super realiable but you can go with them if you have the same GMB and FPX copium in that regard, insane at scrims might be actually crazy in officials.
I'm taking my chances could be also super wrong.

posted about a year ago

I would put Ons with the rumored eKo and Foxy trials together with EDG and NTH above them. They are a lot of other decent teams in that LCQ, who knows how it well play out? But for now I am actually more hyped for this LCQ than the APAC south one

posted about a year ago

Why are people just not positive for once?
How about we give every region just another spot, make the future events with 16-24 teams instead of just 12. Instead of shitting on a another region and giving them less chances we give every region more chances no matter how "bad" they are.

posted about a year ago

True, he was very insane and looked like one of the best players in JP, he had over 300 acs against Zeta in the qualifier game. This would maybe make for a another potential super team in KR.

I like your confidence
W for you

Hard to say the teams at the east LCQ are all not really super bad.

  • On paper they have a lot of firepower but I really am not sure if they beat teams like EDG who are known scrim demons with even more firepower than them I would take Life and Zmj over Allow and Lakia every day of the week.
  • There are also the other JP teams who are consistently improving right now, even now I would say that NTH is better on paper than them, Reject are super weird and play crazy shit and CR are also a team just existing.

They have a chance but if they don't improve immensely it will be super hard for them considering how they lost against Maru and that team is also present in LCQ.

Xerxia looked more shaky then FPX did with a sub, FPX definitely would have won against Xerxia if they had played again.

posted about a year ago

Val has a higher chance with how big Tencent is, but it really takes a lot of time even with them supporting it. What is kinda interesting is that the mobile version of Valorant has already been released in China and the PC version not. Who knows how East LCQ plays out if isn't relreased in time, maybe JP and KR get another slot and play without the chinese teams.

Loud lost to KRÜ OMEGALUL

they are a good team, but I really think they would lost to FPX if they play with Suygetsu, so it doesn't matter. Loud had their chances against KRÜ and Optic and they lost.

posted about a year ago

Yes definitely, Zeta played themselves in the grandfinals they made a lot of mistakes they usually didn't do and NTH was winning every duel. NTH was showing up and won, they were the better team on that day. Overally I think both teams still have a lot to improve, they have insane potential and could with good amount of time be top 5 contenders in future events maybe already in Champs or next year who knows. I am hyped for the future of Valorant if "minor" regions get the chance they deserve.

Ang16 is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "Go die first". He also has a second little known tactic of "Go die first, but Shao go kill". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure.

posted about a year ago

It just shows that you don't know the teams. The teams are very fun to watch if they show up. Both are very known in the Asian community and the hype is pretty ok and nothing special because it is still a regional match up.

Nah my preds are doing ok, I am pretty happy with how the matches went actually.

posted about a year ago

Did you even watch the stream? Because I swear to God you didn't do it, they literally said it dude that they placed Guild that low because they didn't believe they would beat Optic or Loud. My fucking point is them saying it, the power ranking title is confusing because they actually don't rank it like you said they did.

posted about a year ago

newsflash I never said the powerrankings were good, I just fucking explained their probable thought-process they had for this ranking. I swear people in VLR can't read for some reason

posted about a year ago

Just because the ranking was wrong doesn't mean what I said was wrong, that's how Platchat thought it would go out they went for the more realistic placements instead of the actual power of the teams in the ranking they did. I literally predicted both Loud and Optic to lose in those first matches

posted about a year ago

I know, I have it in my pickems https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/0ebe8ea0

I just explained what Platch Chat probably thought nothing more there

posted about a year ago

it was like 10pm for JP on a sunday, I kinda doubt that we should expect high viewership for them on the opening match.

posted about a year ago

it doesn't makes sense tho, the opening game had over 300k viewers overall? So was that a real complain or are you just memeing?

posted about a year ago

I also heard how they basically destroyed a top 5 apac team with ease in scrims, so maybe with luck we will see some really interesting matches.

posted about a year ago

Yes, but actually no. This placement was very reliant on Guild not beating Optic and Loud, that was what they said in the stream. It's a bit of both, because genuinely you would not put Lev that high if they weren't already confirmed to get 7-8th placements at least.

posted about a year ago

Well this ranking is more about them beating both Optic or Loud to make it through groups. How can they be higher placed when they may have not a chance to make it further than 9-10th in the event? They are also a team with low LAN experience so it's pretty difficult to make a case where they go deeper in the tournament.

posted about a year ago

NGL finde es bescheuert, dass es so sein muss. Sehr enttäuschend vorallem wenn Ovation schon teilweise besser aussah als Dsyre. Das Match hätte einfach paar Stunden verschoben werden müssen oder halt auf dem nächsten Tag verlegt werden müssen, anstatt dass der def-win passiert. In VCT matches werden die doch auch nicht normaler Weise gecancelt oder? Für mich untergrab dies das Ergebnis vom VRL Dach schon sehr hart, es ist nur meine Meinung und ein kleiner Rant für das Ereignis hier.

posted about a year ago

We will watch your face when FPX wins against Xerxia with one sub, also NTH owns them
NTH > Xerxia

posted about a year ago

Copium also Xerxia is not making it out of group B. Btw surely this is the tournament where Rb isn't going super negative again right?

posted about a year ago

Ah yes Ovation eSports vs Angry Titans the most expected upper finals matchups ever.

Jokes aside both teams are really looking great, the innovation of Ovation is especially cool and AT is a really decent team that have good ideas. But just for the DACH representation alone I want Ovation to win, however it won't be easy.

Good luck to both teams and may the better one win.

posted about a year ago

If the are lucky with the groups they could have a good chance and make it through, but yeah it's super hard even for them. But tbh you shouldn't worry that much, Loud has great players that can do some really insane stuff even if they are tactically little behind NA and EMEA. Just believe in them, they are a great team with a lot of the best players in the world.
