FNC won against 2 NA teams (V1 and C9)
GMB won against 1 NA team (NV)
ACE won against 1 NA team.(NV)

I don't doubt these teams are good cause I have watched them play but I don't know why EMEA people talk about these stats like it even matters like that. Then say optic run is a fluke and complain that they weren't in full form or whatever.

edit: sorry i left out NV losing to Acend

L

true that does make sense

we do love sean-kun

come to 100T we have restocked our copium and we might not need it anymore

bump

yeah but each controller has a gimmick and I mean it's kind hard to think up a next gimmick for another controller

yeah cause the eu teams were in shambles last masters and was no where close to the top

0/8 bait

i use a pink dot

yeah the logo is sick and the team does look good

yo its an NYFU fan you don't see those very often. Nice to see you here

yeah its really good just depends where you get it from

idk I considered TGRD tier 1 at first because they had a good showing but if they continue the way they are going they can easily drop down to t2.
Sen deserves to stay T2 because they are still a pretty good team they are just having problems figuring out what they are doing against the best of the best I wouldn't put them down on t3 team level as yet.
LG hasn't shown enough to say they are considered t1 as yet but they can go there if they show more this tournament

I mean rawkus only came on recently they were not scrimming as much for a while according to zombs and they had mediocre success for a good while.

I feel like people use the tiers in valorant very loosely. Which valorant teams are T1, T2, and T3?
Well, there are obvious ones but I feel like only the top four or five teams should be considered T1 and like teams that have been around for a while but haven't made any big success as yet T2. T3 teams would be any other teams that have done well through qualifiers but haven't made it to groups and T4 would just be any other team that just shows up.

T1:Optic,C9,TGRD(before this tournament),XSET
T2:Sen(before this tournament),100T,TSM,NRG,LG,Faze,Ghost,EG etc.
T3:Akrew,NYFU,Soar,Complexity,Knights,SQ etc.

As the IGL, you should decide what's best for the team and make sure your team is doing what's necessary to win and it's obvious what they are doing right now is not working so they gotta change it up.

it should just rest in peace was a good game for its time

TSM rolls Gold 2

idk the way TSM and NRG are looking right now I think it is more likely to be a fight between 100T and Ghost unless they show something even better to make it closer

ok yeah i think i can agree with that

true kinda excited to see what they have in store for us

he just put it in the format of the games #3

I feel like we can put up a good chance against XSET but will be very hard

100T did not have the best showing against TSM even though they came with a completely different comp than they ever showed. What do you think we will do for the other games and what are our chances of qualifying?

100T vs XSET
100T vs NRG
100T vs GHST

Happy birthday!

1. Cookies and Cream
2. Vanilla
3. Coconut

yeah i guess i can agree with that because him and sick kinda have conflicting roles at least when sick used to play initiator/flex

-1

why do people think kanpeki is a problem

that's the whole point they haven't been practicing together enough

yeah that was my own too

I am an Optic enjoyer

TSM 2-0 TGRD

i agree

I agree it does make for a good story when a team loses and makes a good lower bracket run to a win.

name and flair checks out

i mean if you say so

L bait

I think their qualifying potential went up a good amount. Something definitely went wrong in Faze for them to make a roster change mid playoffs and we don't know how curry will play xeta's role as yet or if they will have to move around the roster to fit him in. Either way it looks good for sen

true

not one or two plays its like the whole game those plays are normal for them so why change it.

lol +1

Friday
GHST vs TGRD (2-0 TGRD)
Gonna be close games. The Guard has been falling short recently so it will be close most likely. If Guard slips up Ghost can easily take a map or the game.

Faze vs LG (2-1 Faze)
Will be close games again. Faze looked good against Optic even though they fell short and LG has been looking good for a while, in the end, I think Faze will take the game but it won't be easy at all.

Saturday
TSM vs 100T (2-1 100T)
They have played before and both teams are looking good right now but I think 100t is looking a little bit better than TSM right now. Also, I'm on that 100T Hopium.

EG vs Sen (2-0 Sen)
EG played well against C9 and they haven't been looking too bad but even with sen playing bad right now I think rawkus can pull them together after their losses and get the win here.

Sunday
XSET vs NRG (2-1 NRG)
Both teams are really good but NRG just looks really strong right now over most teams.

OPTC vs C9 (2-1 OPTC)
I don't know how well the team will do with curry and obviously Optic looking like the top team right now but can still be close if the team works well with curry in the mix

i mean i don't think that way

They are good but they are not t1 and haven't been consistently there.

I agree but i feel like we haven't seen xset in a little while and they were really good last time we saw them and they probably got better. I think in the end it is going to be between 100t and TSM to qualify and not qualify.

kinda surprised you don't have xset there

Even more reason to beat them now
