the no-region matchup rule ONLY applies to the first round of swiss.
this is the first time SEN has gotten easy matchups and everyone is losing their mind.
they're going to be the first two teams to get grouped.
lol true
emea's even bad at being the farmer's region
just an objective observation, but ur so mad and lost in the sauce. genuinely pathetic.
fr
there's always another excuse: they got smoke spams, they faced china (better than both emea teams btw), they're using drugs, like what else can they concoct?
yea but its so funny watching ppl get so mad and play it off as ragebait
i mean their playing against all aim no brain chinese teams so the game isn't ever gonna look great
but they literally lost map 1 off losing double pistol and some crazy hero moments from blg
their first games in an int'l have always been bad
in madrid they almost lost to heretics first game, in champs they got cooked by GenG, in Bangcock they got destroyed game 1, same here.
fr imagine being mad other people are out there cheering for their team
especially because the broadcast tries so hard to hype up the other team
what are we on about this is the first time an americas team has gotten a relatively easy draw
emea always gets the freebies, and still manages to lose them lol
credit where credit is due means not discounting SENs win, even if it was close
wolves had just as many hero plays as SEN did
If you like Souls games: Sekiro, Lies of P, Dark Souls, Khazan
w/ friends: Space Marine 2, Nightreign, Chained Together
other bangers: Expedition 33, Hollow Knight, Celeste
obv there's more but this is a good starting point
I'm not boycotting EWC, but what you said makes no sense and people have valid reasons to boycott it.
bro how many excuses r u gonna make for this team
they lost 2-0 and 3-0 to fnatic, they couldn't even win a map with two pistols and a bonus conversion
stop acting like they're better than fnc and have a mental block, they're just worse
valid take
personally don't really care too much for any team, i like watching good valorant. it just irks me just how big the pile of excuses (most) sen haters use to rationalize their wins is, instead of just admitting the team plays good (and rather entertaining) valorant. they've turned the site into a bunch of baiting and culture wars instead of competitive valorant discussion.
like this game against g2 two of the maps they lost were 9-13 and 10-13 when g2 won double pistol, that should tell a person enough that either side could've won this game, there isn't a real gap between these teams.
if its a valorant discussion site, stop baiting
IQ level of sen haters is something truly special
If EG & 100T beat KRU: SEN gets H2H on 100T, and SEN gets 1st seed.
If only EG beats KRU: KRU gets H2H on SEN & 100T, SEN gets H2H on 100T, so KRU gets 1st seed.
If only 100T beats KRU: There is a three-way tie unresolvable by H2H, so 1st seed is decided by map and round diff. Most likely SEN, unless 100T can 2-0 KRU.
blud snuck T1, Team Heretics, and Fnatic in there and thought we wouldn't notice
there's pretty good chances 2G and EG lose all their remaining matches. If LOUD beat EG 2-0 they have a pretty good chance of winning the tiebreaker and qualifying.
this take is just bad, complaining for nothing.
Yep. Though I do think there is something to be said about the fact that SEN lost 7/10 pistol rounds and multiple buy rounds against G2's bonus. Definitely cost them Haven and probably Pearl as well, the maps where SEN won a pistol they also won the map.
Rare sentinelmain377 W. Swap FNC and TH prob tho ngl.
you haven't seen tier 2 casting, have you? the horror...
It honestly ruins her credibility though IMO. It's not like the abuse just started according to her, and it's not like they are together right now, they've been apart for a long time as far as I can tell. So why did she wait until just a few days before LEV play for qualification to playoffs--basically potentially her last time to bring this up while they are competing this year? This is extraordinary timing for it to be random, if she genuinely cared about justice she would have posted this much sooner. Sounds to me like it was a toxic relationship and now she's being petty and can't stand to see him have any international success, so she's exaggerating and claiming abuse.
Obviously though, no point in making assumptions so it's all one giant question mark at this time. Hopefully it doesn't impact LEV's performance at Champs again.
SEN ban Icebox
GEN ban Sunset
SEN pick Lotus
GEN pick Ascent
SEN ban Haven
GEN ban Bind
Abyss remains
They wanted the reps on icebox, and they've talked about this before - letting Icebox slide through vetos and practicing the map in order to strengthen their map pool. They were confident enough to win even if they lost icebox, and they did.
No, teams that advance from the same group are on opposite sides of the bracket. For example if LEV win the decider then LEV and TE would be on opposite sides, and LEV would face a #1 seed while TE face a #2 seed.
yes, because an 8th, 6th, and 2nd place finish is somehow better than a 10th, 4th, and 3rd place finish. You can't even pull out one random statistic in which EMEA performed better than Americas this year.
EMEA has made one top four appearance this year compared to Americas four.
Americas is about to have another two teams in the top four of Champs lol.
Yeah but every team besides GENG and FNC isn't good in other regions either, so Americas is still the strongest contenders with G2 + LEV.
Like who else from APAC/EMEA is going to compete? DRX? PRX? VIT? TH? I wouldn't even be comfortable putting some of these teams above SEN, as bad as they are.
Basically Americas has two top teams and other regions only have 1 (and China is better w/ FPX but still no real title contender).
No, they weren't. They didn't choke, SEN had really good prep for the match and played better.
Case in point: SEN had 11/12 first kills on the first half of breeze and ended 6-6. On GENG's best map. They were consistently choking clutches, man advantages, and the pistols. GENG got lucky to win that map, and SEN had insane improvement despite getting stomped earlier.
They literally won against GENG and had the toughest road to win Madrid. 1000+ rounds of valorant on stage in two months. What more did they need to do to prove they were the better team at the time?
I think the major issue is they just had the wrong read on the meta. Viper was still a valuable agent that they abandoned too early and they haven't even used Zekken's Neon despite supposedly wanting to bring out multiple comps to be less readable/throw opponents off guard, which was what I think Kaplan focused a lot on after seeing how hard they got antistrated in Split 1.
Deadlock is actually kinda good imo, but SEN's execution of the agent and comp is so bad. Would have been better for them to look to develop and use it further in the off season rather than champs tbh, when they played normal comps in Stage 2 they were winning.
Also tbf he's had to deal with half his team being ill or going through personal issues during practice and matches toward the end of Split 2.
Ah yes, after one game where APAC's first seed played against NA's fourth seed. Can't wait to see the LEV v TLN game!
Assuming both teams keep their permabans:
GEN ban Abyss, SEN ban Icebox
GEN pick Ascent, SEN pick Sunset
GEN ban Lotus, SEN ban Bind
Haven remains
GEN win Ascent, SEN win Sunset, GEN win Haven.
ofc very possible they don't ban their permabans and switch things up.
agree but they have much better chances than most people think imo, everyone assumes my/sg competition was low but DSG look like they can mechanically diff pretty much any team.
Their biggest issue is having to play double duelist atm, hopefully they can fix it before ascension and have better team play, if they do that I think they can win it all otherwise their chances aren't the best.
The worst part is even if they do win ascension half their roster can't even compete in t1 next year bc of age restrictions.
JohnQT, Valyn, Karon, Wo0t, t3xture
SEN won the entirety of kickoff, an entire masters event, and ended the regular season with a better record than 100T. In what world does 100T deserve the spot over SEN because they won one game when SEN's IGL was in extreme pain and another player was grieving?
SEN should have been guaranteed the spot even if LEV bombed out of playoffs, because they should have 15+ Champs points if the distribution was even slightly balanced.
brother if they do that they won't be coming back to VCT knowing how crazy some SEN fans are.
