I’m tryna be as objective as I can here, like I said in the post is very liable to change

NA -> better teams across the board

EMEA -> better top 3 teams (is very liable to change and very possibly wrong)

NA games are a treat of good valo rn and besides giants alpha bracket isn’t going great for emea

Bro shut up please, I’m an EMEA fan and this kinda coping is crazy

NA is playing great simple as that

Jumping to conclusions about EMEA is also preemptive without seeing fnc TL or navi

But please shut up

I mean we still haven’t seen emeas four best teams whilst we’ve seen a few of NA top 5

Hard to make a comparison when looking at the bottom half of a EMEA league

goodness gracious

KC and Giants 🥲

its literally just map one

It has been, one half of EG's first ever map

holy shit its literally been one fucking half

Both teams look really good tbh

Very wrong lmao

I'm praying for Talon today, if they're playing well today, i think they have a great chance to get top 8

I can see EG easily making top 8 and if that happens, I see a world where they make top four

Fnatic are the favorites imo but with 8/30 most talented players intw on that server, fucking anything could happen

Fnatic has the most stacked roster in the history of valorant, thats undeniable.
If you compared any franchised roster on paper to FNATIC, they will beat them on paper

but that's the whole thing, "on paper", putting together 5 of the best players intw doesn't necessarily mean that said team will win. Especially in such a nuance and ever-changing game like valo.

If everything goes well with this team, then in my opinion, there is no stopping them

but there is no guarantee of that, hell they could slam Sentinels off the server and then get owned by FURIA/T1
If this team truly wants to dominate they're gonna have to be incredibly disciplined because, as we've seen yesterday, you could lose to any team and that's it

but as of right now, what ive heard from scrims and interviews, things seem to be clicking and potentially we could see the fnatic promised

really hope we can see a 100t vs fnatic remath

TH because besides BCJ and Ethan, its young and unexperienced on lan+crowd but i feel like its 50/50

The skill on the team is undeniable, they all have insane aim and their set gimmicky playstyle is really interesting when it works.

The issue is that they'll overthink and overheat so often, their aggression is often mistimed on the defense, it was so exploitable when they were defending on Lotus. They overextend on attacking rounds that cost them the round or a lot of economy at the minimum

I feel like if they found a way to merge their aggression and gimmicky playstyle then merged it with the discipline of a team like DRX and OpTic, they could be monsters

I really hope so cause when this team plays smart and with their signature aggressive, its such a treat

Imo Fnatic overall

NAVI at this event

And TL over time

1 second more and that round is won wow

Incredible mental fortitude

I really hope this team continues to improve, the Turkish fanbase is great and the players have so much potential

GGWP BBL hold your head high

This is a fucking awful thread holy shit please shut the fuck up

be surprised

New team, give them time

This will apply to 90% of the teams in this tournament tbh

(they need better comps though 😭)

this guy does not wanna lose, what a demon

Oh for sure, I dont wanna take away from FPX here, they played amazing

but an attacker-sided comp against this ratty and op focused FPX makes no sense.
having a jett to entry and KJ for post plants and site denial would have had wayyyyyy more impact then the Kayo and cypher did

i feel like more disciplined teams would have picked apart this FPX comp, however big props to FPX for being able to take advantage of KC

KJ would have shut half of FPX's attack strats down

scream jett would have had way more impact on attack cause Kayo barely had any impact whatsoever

Edit: not tryna take away from FPX just purely an observation

Sideshow and Bren are best in terms of reactions

pansy and hypoc are best in terms of mid game analysis

mitch and tom are the best of both

valid

BBL winning would be crazy but i think DRX is too disciplined to get caught off guard for maybe more then one map

Sonny is the goat

(They also throw the most winnable games ever, they stop throwing they're back to top four and can maybe deep run in UCL)

You cannot make a perfect match time for every region its as simple as that, some regions will have perfect match times and some will have terrible match times.

The best riot can do is make it as accessible as possible, which I think they do well

wait how tf did they get trent and derke too??????????

cool jersey though

"end of debate" as if there are not gonna be 10+ more tournaments that will change that

Do this if BBL lose too

idk man all ive seen is EMEA being underrated, Americas have seemed to be the favorite

are people forgetting DRX PRX are good? huh

you’re missing my point😭

Like shut the fuck up “NA TRASH” “SHITMEA” that I just wanna talk about crazy plays and cool strat 😭😭😭😭

Please shut up this constant NA//EMEA bickering makes it 10x worse to be on this site to discuss actual stuff about matches during a LAN event

Look man I love EMEA but bbl is not beating DRX

Sheydos played well lol

In an alternate reality we have nAts redgar Sheydos and chronicle trexx and cloud on a franchised gambit

I wish I could be there

How tf is there not a cap for how much you can post in one day 😭😭

Imagine if the war never happened and russian orgs were in franchising

Just wait for chronicle, nAts and redgar 😌

We haven’t seen emeas three best teams yet calm down 😭😭😭

KOI got so much potential, sad to only see Sheydos once😭

s0m proving doubters wrong is hella nice to see though

Fun game and true testament to the brutality of this format

GG Wp🥹

after months of bickering, and off//season moves

WE'RE HERE IM SO PUMPED!!!!!!!!

#SOMOSKOI

I BELIEVE IN SHEYDOS
