I just ran the calculations guys…

Guaranteed NA matchup for first 2 rounds in M3 Berlin: 1/3 (Envy and 100T on same side of bracket) x 1/2 (sentinels playing either Envy or 100T) = 1/6

Round 1 NA matchup in M1 Iceland: (Guard was 1st seed, Optic was 2nd, only 4 potential teams for optic to play against) = 1/4

Round 1 NA matchup in M2 Copenhagen: (XSet was 1st seed, Optic was 2nd, only 4 potential teams for optic to play against) = 1/4

Guaranteed NA matchup for first 2 rounds in Champs 2022: 1/3 (Optic and XSET on same side of bracket) x 1/2 (100T playing against one of them) = 1/6

1/6 x 1/6 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/576 or 0.17% chance

the raw chance of 1 of these matchups happening isn't what pisses me off, it's the fact that ALL of them have happened and riot claims these brackets are randomized. the only time NA didn't have a round 1 matchup in playoffs was in Masters 2 Iceland, but NO region had a round 1 matchup.

Personally I don’t think they need to swap any players, it could ruin their synergy. See what happened when Xeta left C9? All their consistency went out the window

Seeing TSM actually be good would be weird

If Optic doesn’t make franchising, which org would pick up their roster?🤔 I assume the team would stick together since they have good synergy and are one of the most consistent teams

Facts

Bad mental versus EU

PRX will wipe them

People literally acted like Alfajer was the second coming of Christ and FNC couldn’t lose

Bros lost his mind. XSET broke him

SOMEONE SCREENSHOT EVERYTHING IN THIS THREAD BEFORE WE SEE A BUNCH OF EDITS🤣

LMAOOOO LETS SEE IT BRO

RAW DOGGED BY XSET & 100T

🤡🤡🤡🤡

L dumbass you can take the FPX flair off now 😂

I swear these EU clowns start making excuses the second they lose anything😂

EU excuses starting already 😂

Who cares it will be a 11-1 half 😂 XSET will still win

‘Extremities’
‘gaRAGE’
‘weaponry’

Mods locked the thread 😂 they didn’t want Shownu to get clowned even more

L

You talking about ratzam?

They would have got grouped either way so who cares

L😂

L😂

L😂😂😂😂😂

LOOOL

the ‘majority opinion’ is even more braindead, all they care about is tenz and shroud

EU so lucky to have Russia carry your shit region😂 Fnatic most overrated team in the history of valorant

Told y’all😂

U need to stop smoking that zaza

Even if liquid 26-0’d EDG I still wouldn’t join the liquid fandom

Thespike better

Nope

liquid literally got eliminated by Japan in masters 1. China is even stronger and would stomp them lol

What did they achieve this year again? Like 10th place at Iceland😂😂 LMAO

Both washed teams with too many copium fanboys that obsess over 1 star player (Scream/TenZ)

Liquid was garbage this year and people actually think they won’t get grouped 😂 I have bad news for you

Imagine if your dad didn’t drop you on your head as a kid

I swear youre just a robot programmed to make the same boring threads everyday

Nice try FPX bandwagoner

For me it’s Liquid and Boom 🤷‍♂️

Imagine how iron you have to be to say something like “crosshairs placement abuser”

British

Asuna the EU slayer will destroy Loaster and that overrated team. Literally another free win for 100T.

Brits will be in shambles just like when PRX raw dogged Fnatic

Pro valorant player for EDG

who would win in a fight

mma style

Need riot to add that emote so I can see killjoy hitting the griddy

PRX is already better without them💀

Do u ever get bored of doing the same bait everyday

100T vs EDG grand finals🤯🤯🥶

I swear it feels like masters 2 just happened.. I thought champs was gonna be in like December but I just found it’s on September 2nd 🤨

Jk I guess they had the same name
