you clearly don't know what you are talking about so please refrain from sharing an opinion that does not make sense because you lack the basic understanding of how the system works and the purpose of it. It is very evident you have extreme bias and are viewing this all through your tinted lens without seeing anything from any other perspective.
So just stop talking. please and thank you
the people that seem to play the most annoying in dm tend to be higher ranked i have noticed. like they play more off audio and then just hold an off angle waiting. post game check the tracker and boom, it's an immortal/ascendant player
you mean the team with two players fnatic dropped so they could build their super team? the fnatic reject squad is the only other good emea team? VCT FNATIC is too powerful for its own good 🥲🥲😡
:( for no masters finals, hope you had a good time in Chicago though (if that is even possible)
where are you getting 7 for FNATIC vs NA? to my count they should only have 5 NA. SEN, 100T at Lock//In. Tokyo: NRG + EG x2. and then FUR + LOUD at Lock//In for AMER for 7.
m80 are not letting their team split. I mean unless they have a really subpar performance in franchise next year
do we really want an era of singular team dominance though? I think valorant's greatest strength in being super engaging for fans every where is that there has never been rigid locks of where teams or regions will end up placing in events
this guy is a EU silly head who is just fake flagging. dont worry to much :)
no these are grand finals resale prices for some of the best spots in the arena to watch. And its RESALE, these are legit 10x what the original prices were I'm pretty sure
0/8 but you still caught some people some how
To give benefit of the doubt, when this post (may 6) was made Something had only really played 2 games with PRX and neither of them looked super great. The GE game was a... game, and the Talon game had one of the most outrageous maps of pearls I have ever seen if memory serves. And PRX was in the midst of playing against ZETA
So at the time its not like PRX was looking super amazing or anything of the sorts. What I really wanted to bring attention to is the fact that PRX was in poor form at one point in time to where they were compared to these teams, and now... Even without Something, the entire team has found its identity in a sense to play with incredible coordination that their style relies on. Which they simply lacked when Benkai was playing this year
this is how it is EVERY final, people always complain because it is a really tight bad schedule and then they go 'oh the final is going to be bad' and then its usually incredibly hype and everyone forgets about the complaints they had coming into it.
but the less prep time might honestly help out the lower finals players more because Fnatic have less time to prep after the match for the actual team they are facing, while the winner of lowers already knows who is waiting for them so they can plan ahead and just fix mistakes they made.
Giants and PRX compared in the same breath was a world we once lived. Crazy to think about now that PRX is playing without the MVP of Pacific playoffs and is still currently minimum 3rd in masters and giants uhhh... went 0-4 in EMEA playoffs to two teams that got grouped at tokyo... by teams PRX beat in playoffs
no that is not true. there are only two spots in lower bracket first round. so the two teams who lose the LEV and C9 games would play that match to go into losers finals.
So both the SEN vs 100T game and the FUR vs winner MIBR/KRU game are single elim, which is kind of crazy
The only thing I can say that people haven't already mentioned is that I have heard that the Helck manga is an underrated banger, but I personally haven't read it.
Also I just saw that Link Click is getting a second season this season, and I heard the first season was really good.
ever heard of this crazy thing called... immigration??
i just said that i know that it a chant...... But it does not make sense to use the chant in this context, because TL are meant to be a good team and like... winning? ? ? ? so them losing is supposed to be unusual not really warranting this chant to be used
the only imports in all of Americas are: jawgemo from Cambodia, ardiis from latvia, and qpert from serbia (dephh is no longer on SEN so I'm not counting him)
it doesn't make sense even though I know
emea #1 seed for masters loses every week?? 😭😭😭someone help this poor region
https://twitter.com/FionnOnFire/status/1670319812785102850
actually the most insanest absurd wild bonkers (lets go BonkersOCE!!) crazy stat I have ever heard. they can't keep getting away with this 😡😡
even if mw plays for another 50 years he still might up with less trophies then them
every one gets a cool little nickname and then just "ethan"... you can't make this shit up 🥲
i was wrong. sorry, my memory is like negative
didn't edward play in APAC lcq last year to make it to champs? and wasn't PRX one of the two circuit points representatives from APAC to champs?
Not exact same region (CN and SEA) but both are from "Pacific" I would say
I really don't know. I am sadly still doubting the no something PRX. They are just missing that extra layer to push them over the edge to truly be competitive.
But its also very hard to gauge PRX right now. Because they played DRX with f0rsaken on jett one map (different playstyle). DRX on bind the other (drx is bad at bind). And then played FNATIC on lotus and bind. Which I think are Fnatic's best maps in the current pool. There is almost nothing to really compare or show a level of consistency for.
I hope its good. Don't know if it will be good though :(
I mean fnatic would probably still ban Pearl against EG I would think..
If I am Fnatic would rather take my chances at map I am confident in with Fracture where EG also have a ton of recent VODs than have to play Pearl where an Americas team has never lost to a non-americas team (yes that is a real stat) and the map that Fnatic have perma banned all season against a team from the region that IS viper harbor
Either way you are probably losing a map
cause two of your teams didn't even have the chance to make it there...
Fnatic is the best team in the world, without a doubt I feel. Not only do they have probably 4 top 10 players in the world, but also a very good caller and player. And they continually cook up round by round calls that are great.
They also push the meta on the way the game is played on a macro level. With things like the light armor (which I know they weren't the first, but they 100% popularized), and this now marsall round 2 strat to feed ult points to a player faster on anti-eco without real risk
But EMEA just simply does not have much depth of talent beyond that team it feels like. a good chunk NA challenger teams (not just m80 and guard) can beat probably the 5-10 rank teams in EMEA franchise. And probably have a good match against the like 3-4seeds
I think this is both a very non problem (in this case especially), the crowd was completely silent for long enough, jawgemo is standing against tuyz and not making a sound for at least a full second (which might seem short, but in game it is an eternity). but eventually the energy becomes to much to contain and there is going to be a reaction. it is part of the environment. if you want to get rid of this, you also get rid of all the upsides of the LAN experience.
but also if you watch the full clip, jawgemo doesn't even see tuyz until he goes to check his flank (which is seconds after the crowd makes noise) and then he does a double take because he was clearly surprised by the fact that someone was there so his crosshair was way past that corner to shoot tuyz
under current rules franchise teams aren't allowed to have academy teams
apparently icy has been part of EG for a while now and has been scrimming with the reserve roster. they just didn't announce it. I think mCe said something about an EG 10th man who he couldn't name during the PlatChat episode he was on
https://twitter.com/zecK_VAL/status/1669796248457453577 and this tweet from the EG reserve coach helps that point even further. So I think he has been there helping the team actually do full 5v5 scrims, just for some reason they never announced him. Why?? We on the outside may never know exactly...
i think munchkin lived in LA as well during his time in owl
I’ll accept him calling us dumb cause we are, but we are no where near as bad as VLR. They’re a special kind of dumb. We have the occasional intelligence in here that would never see the light of day in VLR
hoadong is the real slept on player of that team imo. dude continually pulls incredibly important kills out when his team need it most (especially during that Navi match)

turn 18 (age of consent) = insta approach
i would argue add3r is on that level (but im also an extremely bias TTR fan so...)
I have to update bucky kills because it is now at like 8 or something because of the DRX game. But why does no one use this gun. It averages 2 kills a buy. What a silly stat
its crazy how many people still don't realize that the Pacific franchise teams are already scimming against the Chinese teams for practice so China is getting good practice. Even though it has been said in multiple interviews I feel like
