i started watching at the beginning of 2024 and all i knew about americas was what happened at champs 23 and that sen had fallen off after winning in 21
i rooted for them cause i wanted them to rise from being the underdog and i wasnt a fan of loud, nrg, or eg
it paid off in madrid and i fw the players still

fr. its crazy how a mid series on paper has literally changed the history of the game

mibr beat 100t
eg qualify for playoffs over 100t
eg go on to win champs
eg have financial issues
lev drop nzr for com
aspas gets pissed at lev
bleed looks into buying out aspas
bleed gets kicked
boom ascends
aspas goes to mibr instead, making them a good team for once

if you really think about it, neither of them would really have a chance to be there if it wasnt for this match:

i think 4 way ties skip head to head and go straight to map record, which means that if zeta 2-0 ns and ts 2-0 rrq then zeta will be 1st seed

fns haters
demon1 fans
verno drama
ethan’s washed
s0m is wasting his prime years so he can play with his grandpa
the list goes on

the problem is one of them genuinely is 40

the problem with ranked val is that people can have plat or diamond aim but be in gold or silver due to having absolutely zero game sense and ability usage, so those with crazy game sense but average aim get out classed

coach - aspas

are*

ngl ik it’s basic but tenz
dude played so well and seemed so humble on stage
i remember when they beat geng at champs he tweeted something like fuck the haters were goated and it seemed so out of character yet so deserved

well they could do it again for when franchised teams are redicided

xeppaa but if he wins he qualifies to champs

leo is technically still signed to fnc and i assume being sick probably inhibits his aim a bit

2g and apeks

fnatic are so back

ball state 3-0 winthrop

hes saying the new engine will release for custom teams in june, and for career mode in september
i think

i will give S tier to anyone who gives me S tier

Sen and loud have the most fans, and either kru for latam or mibr for aspas would work
Fnc are a given, and vit would be great for french views and fut for turkish
Prx for sea and a shit ton of fans, t1 for kr and past trophy winner, and zeta or dfm for japan
for china honestly youre not getting much more views from the three best teams compared to two, but if you had edg and nova/blg plus a team no one expects to be there, like ag or some shit like that, then people would watch just to see why the fuck they are there

its all fucking connected

and they dropped nzr to pick up c0m, who was only available cause of eg’s issues

1 of these is straight up not arguable

RRQ 1-3 DRX
14-16
13-4
11-13
7-13

fly high
he was like a brother to me

what about the first two time champ player?

who’s the first two times champs winner

my first username on minecraft was just my full first and last name

and yet there is absolutely nothing on the line

1. all you need to know is eg are 100% winning
2. good advice
3. you should visit one if you ever come to the states

wasnt it also just a mutual decision? genuinely i think he didnt like how the team was led and run, and the rest of the team didnt like how he fit in

i didnt know you were an edg fan

went there once on a road trip. genuine eye opening experience

1. Who's gonna win champs
2. what college should i go to
3. you fw dairy queen?

valorant 2, all abilities are able to get kills, buying guns is throwing now.

experienced T1 players are much safer options than T2, but also have less potential

you are right but i don’t think you have the right reasoning.

If SEN lose to 2G, and EG beat LOUD, then them 2 and the loser of KRU v 100T will be tied at 3-2. if it’s 100T in this tie, then SEN will get second seed since they beat both 100T and EG, and 100T will be third since they beat EG.
However, if KRU loses, then since KRU beat SEN, SEN beat EG, and EG beat KRU, it will come down to map wins, which EG will be 6 - 4 or 6 - 5 after beating LOUD, and SEN and KRU will be 6 - 6 or 7 - 6 after losing. So KRU and SEN just have to win a map to secure top 3. If both of them get 2-0’d, EG will get second, and then it will come down to round differential for the third seed.

Thanks for the help, it’s already updated :)

i believe when there’s a tie with 3 or more teams, whichever team has the best record against the other teams in the tie would decide which one is placed higher, then a further tie would take map record into account.

so if this scenario happens, zeta, talon, t1 and rrq would all be 3-2 overall, but rrq would have beaten the other 3 teams, so they are the top spot

hell even third place often has problems too

REMINDER: First seed of each group gets straight to upper semi finals matches, which winning will qualify for Toronto, losing this match will require two wins in a row to qualify. Second and third seeds will be in quarter finals, and will be a 2-0 or 3-1 run away from Toronto. Fourth seed teams will start in the Lower Bracket, and will need to win 3 matches in a row to make it to Toronto

yea, it was so sad to see johnqt booth clip farm lincoln in 1865, that was truly the beginning of his downfall

sen is kinda overrated by a lot of people, but they are also overlooked by a lot of others. they have the potential to be at least top 4 itw, but so many here deny that entirely

and edg only wins 11 rounds total in these next two maps, TEC will be #1 seed

https://www.vlr.gg/232895/the-guard-vs-m80-champions-tour-2023-americas-ascension-gf/?game=134594
3 players, not 2

excluding an entire group of people is like racism, and racism is banned, mods give elysxxm a 300 minute cooldown

well last year the 2nd and 3rd seeds would play a single elimination match, which are always stupid when youre trying to find the top 2 or 3 teams. like Navi last year could have been the second best team in emea, but they were constantly put against heretics in a single elimination and never got to an event

it should be h2h, so blg is top

eg for g2

if their current roster is popping off then why would they make changes? they might keep him as a sub ig but i don’t think we will see him on the starting roster of fnc again

i think fnc might just drop leo. i could see him ending up at another emea team like navi or smth
