agreed but as a fan it’s hard to see them choke every time when they're so close to making finals

but either way PRX or DRX are imo the two teams atm that deserve to win a international trophy the most

DRX:

• 2-0 down against Optic, almost made a comeback
• 2-0 down against LOUD, almost made a comeback

if any team deserves a trophy imo it’s DRX cause they've been so close to grand finals and have been at the top consistently but always choke

ngl even China looks more promising

relevant as in making international appearances and being title contenders

and clout isn’t the only metric of relevancy

Last time C9 made an international tournament Sentinels were still relevant

fuck you elon

You think you're the king? I'm the king

I think it's time for NA to import players

perhaps they will have more success than the LCS

I think this is the thread you're looking for: https://www.vlr.gg/236466/criminals

6 hours? wtf damn and I just checked and it’s 1:30 am over there

Surely they postpone the match? otherwise it really sucks for the players

what time was it supposed to start and what time is it rn?

true

only person Yay knows is N4RRATE the guy who sent him to tier 3

Kangkang on Gekko awping hits different ngl

I think Hiko should be the mvp

Chronicle owns you + got more trophies than your entire region

I don’t think many people are angry more so disappointed cause NAVI's potential is so much more than going 0-2 in groups + they troll their roles and run yoru every single game for some reason

Task manager --> start up apps --> disable all the apps which aren’t impactful for the device

try that maybe it helps

Yes it’s a major for the GC circuit

just like Masters, Lock in and Champions are majors for VCT

If I see them mf's running Yoru again in LCQ I'm gonna lose it 😭 like surely NAVI is going to run actual meta comps and stop with trolling their roles

Isn't GC its own separate circuit though?

imo with the little amount of tournaments VAL has every international tournament can be classified as a major or S-tier event with Champions being the most important one

nah people will find some way to call this fluke as well

the second place curse

EG going out in groups

if Navi don’t make champs with TWO LCQ spots then someone needs to be dropped immediately

so much cope

all I know is that if EG won I wouldn’t see this

Yeah sadge for VIT but after what happened I don’t think the players have any motivation to play which is understandable

Now nobody can say it's a mickey mouse tournament that they won

GGs

5 EMEA teams to Champions

KARMINE CORP TO CHAMPIONS

Is there a reason why Derke hasn’t played Jett and Leo hasn’t played Sova this tournament?

Feels like no Derke on Jett is troll when he's the best Jett player and Leo probably has the best sova util

Acting like americas or pacific 5th seed wouldn’t go 0-2 at champs

5 slots for any region is too much

Probably 3-2 FNC

yeah I highly doubt it's gonna be a 3-0 especially if Demon1 is having a good game

Don’t worry KC & NAVI are going to champs

ngl that would be worse than the 11-3 cause FNC have so many advantages

o7

with Something I'm sure they would make grand finals

EG are expected to win this event

"ascension winners should have a shot at LCQ instead of having to wait a whole year to play a tier 1 tournament"

I literally have no idea why they aren’t doing this you have a 7 team LCQ why not add another team and make a double elimination bracket? And another benefit the fans get to see the strength and get to learn the team that will be join their VCT league

Punjabi "FNS" Methamphetamine was a Dungeons and Dragons character who rolled a natural 20 on Intelligence and a natural 1 on Aim. After stacking enough points on his Intelligence stat he gained sentience and transcended into our reality, where he has since pursued careers as a professional player of tactical first person shooter "Counter-Strike" and its cartoon sequel "Valarante".

All I want is Breeze back

Such a fun map to play and watch

EG realistically

but I'd love PRX to win this cause it would be a Pacific team in the grand finals which would be hype since the event is in APAC

Yeah true and to be fair they haven’t really had a moment of 'choking' this year besides the grand finals against LOUD so hopefully nothing changes in 5 days

They got 2 bans as well

+

time to watch PRX/EG and anti strat

but hey it wouldn’t be FNC without some sort of a choke

I haven’t watched the vod yet but anyone tryna explain why I'm seeing "FNC lucky" in the VLR match replies and Twitter replies?

Besides LOUD no BR team has ever made it to playoffs internationally

talk about one team region

"The best teams weren’t playing at the best therefore this tournament is a mickey mouse tournament"

Classic Liquid

win one game (or make it out of groups) and then go 0-2

Doesn’t matter how good the roster is that’s literally what they do

Someone has to end the EG run and if FNC can’t do it then give EG the trophy at that point

2-1 FNC

Oh 100% I mean I think that because Liquid are so stacked everyone looks at Soulcas as the weakness when they lose but most of the times his util is great and has good impact and is doing what his role requires

But yeah he just has to be consistent (which currently he is to be fair)

only problem is his consistency otherwise very good player
