Seems I havent

Nah that was a fluke

TRUE

Welp time to start prepping against xia again

"slanderous accusations" x_x
bro chill out its a vlr thread my guy

idk why they didnt just bring back sinatraa tho, sinatraa probably would fit better ngl

nah the sen shit was entertaining
I didnt even realize c9 and v1 talk a lot of shit (ik V1 did a lot of tbagging but it didnt seem like they were as cocky as sen)

TRUUUU

yea ik i aint watchin their match at 2 am

what happened?

True

-8/8

Is this real???

why would he want a buyout of a pro player? The dude doesnt need anymore money, hes fucking set. He literally chose to sacrifice stream hours so he can play in the LCQ with very little in terms of potential revenue EVEN if he does make it to champions. The dude didnt ask for much money i can bet and i wouldnt be surprised if he didnt ask for any money at all. He was the one that was getting that itch to play competitive again and so when he was offered a spot on SEN he immediately said fuck it and just took it.
Shroud gets exactly what he wants by playing in high level valorant and thats more than enough. SEN get what they want by shroud playing in the LCQ for them

Yea shrouds game sense; specifically his awareness, is better than 80% of pro players in the t1 scene rn. The dude pays so much attention to opponent positioning, team map control, utility, smoke timings, opponent exec util, team econ and opponent econ, and constantly is looking at team and opponent ult points.
Thats the shit that differentiates great aimers from great players

You say they need a new IGL but fuck man all i want is shahz to play and call like he did in stage 1 cause they were no joke actually quite good. Like the V1 match you could see how shahz was calling and how he was at the same time fragging, i wanna see that version of shahz and if thats who shows up at LCQ I dont doubt they could at least win against the guard

no they can definitely hear comms of the opponents if the screams are loud enough. Yay literally mentioned in the previous masters that at some points he heard the opponents' comms and wasnt sure if he should tell the admins or not

Tarik never accused him of doing it, he was just thinking out loud and trying to find reasons as to why a player would do something so suspicious. If you see a person in a store suddenly stuffing shit in his pockets would you also not be suspicious of them?
I understand that 100k people are watching but that doesnt change shit, are you saying that its then tolerable had there not been that many people in his stream?

ah yes of course, tarik shouldve just assumed that its a common thing that this player does because he doesnt watch the guys stream. Honestly he should also just keep his mouth shut if he sees a player suddenly flicking wihtout anyone on the screen cause they might just do it out of habit you know

No troll tho, JP is rlly far from NA

tf thats stupid what are you on??? Shes in japan. What kind of stupid explanation is round earth bro

you literally just proved yourself wrong. No one is getting nitpicky here, the point is more viewers = more money in the scene

Now i understand why theres a minimum age required to get on social media, they should increase it

not mine lol. I was gonna change my loud v kru to kru winning cause i just heard about them never losing to br but then i think the deadline or whatever had already passed. So technically all my pickems are right i just couldnt change the kru v loud in time

marved got that fake ice
Zombs tho... he got that true ice

why is it kinda stupid? If they were in different groups what would that have changed? It mightve just got them both eliminated before playoffs

The problem is yall are thinking to basic, yall think just because a team comes from NA or just because they reached GF that theyre slated to win against anyone who isnt in the top 4 but thats not how it is. We saw at the previous masters that any team could beat any team and it isnt any different here. The weakest team is prob XIA or NTH but i could see them beating most of the teams at this event

sometimes its like people dont know how to read

I definitely predicted Guild to get out of groups tho i was also preding loud, i mean it might still happen so well just have to see

SEN made it to quarters tho so thats at least something tho its looking like optic might not

Link?

It isn't you're just overselling optic and loud, esp when optic literally play like a tier 2 team in groups at every lan

2-0 narrow 💀💀

Already with the excuses

This man is on sum of that PREMIUM ZAZA, bro you gotta pass that shit

OPTIC GOING HOME GG NA
NEAREST AIRPORT AT ITS FINEST

How can both gambit and acend have a regional masters? Did cis have their own masters?

With Sen tho they have the most challengers and masters wins out of any team

That was definitely not prime sen

true true, btw its aging

is it tho?

why do i get this feeling all of a sudden that drx are gonna shit on nth

im telling you Optic is cursed vs Emea, they just cant even get a single map off them. Gambit i can excuse cause that was one of gambits best performances tho Acend wasnt even playing that well in their match

i mean yea looking at how its been going probably tho if shahz does better like he was in the final 2 games of stage 2 SEN will prob go off (assuming it isnt because shroud is getting ass numbers)

With the way they're playing rn that's true

they were thinking about him and were gonna trial him but literally without even thinking 100T immediately signed him no questions asked and so ofc he would just join 100T

I feel like 1st place teams getting to go all the way to playoffs is still a little crazy. I think maybe a slight change should be made to where they are able to get an advantage in groups to where they only need 1 win to make it out. At least then it allows for a lot more exciting matches in the groups and it also allows for a lot more games to be played for big teams like say FNC or last masters Loud wouldve played more matches so that there would be a better gauge of their strength.
Like lets say FNC make the same run loud did last tourney, we'll only be able to see this team play for 4 matches total and if after winning they fall off then we p much dont get to see them in top form again until they slowly rise again. Like imagine if we didnt get to see loud anymore in this tourney cause they got upset. That would suck cause they literally played 4 international matches and then went back to their region which we have literally 0 metrics on how to gauge their strength

You cant count everything a fluke. As much as im against Optic, their run wasnt a fluke, howver the only reason they did win was because on form M3C, FPX, and FNC werent able to play.

if he does SEN will win Champions EZ

I dont think its just work ethic tho cause i feel like JP has had great work ethic for a long time but theyre just shit at the game yknow? It just feels like EMEA is uncontested when it comes to creating unbelievably complex and in depth strategies and plays that even Optic at thier peek didnt match (tho optic id say were still good enough without them to contest for the win)
