Munchkin is just cracked so GENG run it

FNC should've ran flashes instead frankly. If they cooked imo Deadlock/Vyse would suit them as well. Inserting a player and leaving rose and/or sonics with them to cook any reclear attempt?

G2 is another example of massively undercooked 1st seed comps. Breach is not still meta bros fuck off. Jawg off Yoru on split and get Jonah in Deadlock jail yesterday. At least FNC had the less time excuse, this was just lazy.

wolverhampton being the best CN valorant team is certainly a timeline

wolves can do it

you can still send GENG home though

Heretics lost to PRX + Wolves who beat their first seeds and look strong (i mean everyone did but), TL looked good the game they actually had their roster. If TL had their roster there's unironically a good chance they go 2-0 beating SEN out of playoffs. In the long term +Penny will be better for the team tho.

FNC has lost one close game to the team people think is gonna win the event, GENG. We're fine we just got screwed over hard by all the shenanigans caused by how late our region did stage 1.

It's a prep diff + matchup screwing, not existential for the region if riot emea stops trolling format + production

cry?

oh so NOW losing to the favorite to win is "awful performance" fuck this narrative

either GENG are cracked favorites and their opponents still have a chance against other teams OR lol FREELO TEAMS GENG FLUKE you can't fucking have it both ways

is that like

allowed

best igl at one event is not even remotely close to best igl all time, especially since there are better igls AT the event so he's just "one of the best" which is even less reasonable.

Not that he isn't good but

source or fuck off

no not TS? GE.

Vyse is absolutely good on Pearl yes

flashless sunset is fairly popular but feels pretty suspect vs any even half decent OPer

Less not warmed up more undercooked new meta

LMAOOOO POWER GONE L VENUE

power in venue fucked so they're pausing the whole thing

pickled onion

double senti everywhere time FNC cmn cook

nah you've just gotta drill pistol as insanely as GENG

If data says so by the time we get to the franchising changes it'll need delt with but I think its a coincidence this time

AMER is not 2nd what

as opposed to g2 lol

I dont like him but why would I get a say as to whether he can be bro what is this actual thought crime policing

if he wants to support the winners over his old bum team who's gonna blame him.

winner of upper final gets double map ban in grand final 💀 please read

nah he played better after being benched it's a carpe Sylvan situation unironically just run 6 man's.

This team could've gone deep knocking SEN out without the visa bullshit and with proper cooking on strats instead of single days worth of prac. This was in the script but

GENG beating a long time regional rival isn't really a fair gauge of power level, and obviously MIBR exploded. Also, G2 was absolutely inting these comps are undercooked as shit we're still playing fuckin Breach post nerf when he ALREADY WASN'T GOOD WITHOUT TEJO.

unironically, Jawg inting vs PRX was crazy

what happened is that nearly every team in APAC is at least good and so both APAC and CN - Who can scrim each other - Now have exceptional access to all the on-level scrim partners they could ever ask for (despite sharing drama cutting a few out) meaning excellent practice and elevating the entirety of the two regions.

EMEA rosters all have fairly clear flaws that the orgs KEEP IGNORING year on year except FNC and post-toronto, likely TL too now thanks to +Penny and the fire that lit under Serial's ass. TH, BBL need real performance coaches who actually do the job so the players have the mental to stop fucking inting, KC needs to stop pretending that midrounding isn't important (Both Engh and Saadhak are great at making and adapting set plays but they need a sacy-like second caller because holy shit they have no clue midround), VIT just needs a real fucking IGL instead of a bum 1 trick duelist who refuses to play duelist and the rest need coaches that aren't pissing away their talented rosters.

AMER teams besides SEN are either outright dogshit OR just refuse to experiment with shit ever OR, MORE COMMONLY, both. They had some of the most prac time and yet G2's meta read post Tejo and Breach nerf is "lol same comps but sova/fade" as if breach was doing well at all prior to Tejo. SEN at least practices against their Academy enough to take and adapt other team's ideas well.

remind me which teams were spamming Astra and Vyse?

why have you turned onee asmr into a vlr post

what

congrats SEN on three whole byes. Kinda odd given they weren't even a first seed but rito gonna rito

They get more time to change stuff.

Unfortunately neither team used that time well. The fact that G2 seem to think the new meta is anywhere even remotely close to breach despite him not being good before Tejo and even getting nerfed, says a lot.

yeah the fans are 13 now

Hard meta bind (obviously not in) looked strong on Split when it was used there, plus icebox with Sage > Duelist is technically a double sentinel comp.

Teams haven't been using it cuz they don't have the players for it, but it looks exceptionally strong.

I mean it wasn't trent's fault but

i think double senti is pretty strong rn too tbh but most people aren't trying it

imo they need to drop the breach now tbh

he's never really been good by stats and it's debatable if he was even the best option during tejo meta and then THEY NERFED HIM. Surely we are not still running it.

they didn't change to/cook new meta stuff they just switched trent onto scan instead of tejo

like what did they expect

they had longer than other regions, sit

also you didnt change comps you changed trent's agent and nothing else

NEAREST AIRPORT

the team that beat them or the other emea team

I don't think Wolves can beat 10 players no

Bad news for you about there being an infinite number of further teams to "fluke" against you for the win. Doesn't have to be T1 again now that Tejo meta's death means more than just T1's style can beat you.

As strong as FNC and RRQ based on what? These teams haven't played yet.

at least you're honest in your support

nobody is saying they didn't look good

the problem is the competition also looks good, but played serious opponents

you certainly NA'd but cooked? In the head maybe.
