I would love a TL lower bracket run.

SR - TL finals please.

Crazy people still don’t get this. It’s been said like 30 times over the past week.

It’s nuts people forget he was on the 100t team that won basically the first tournament in Valorant.

He was dogged by Steel and forced out of the team as a scapegoat.

You idiots really think SOUTH AMERICA isn’t America?

Hahahahahaha

This thread is embarrassing.

Acend is the only one that could possibly be considered not real.

They lost to VK and pretty much everyone knows they were not a very good team.

I have always thought he was overrated.

Sacy too.

Saadhak makes good players look like gods. That’s why pancada is on the bench.

On another team cuan would still be good, but not incredible.

We are about to see the fall of Loud.

In before every Brazilian calls me an idiot.

I did t even know /yes was an option. That’s nice since I use a small keyboard that doesn’t have f keys

This one shocked me. Not necessarily g2 winning, but the fact that they dominated TL.

SMG looked good.

They earned a new fan

A theory is that v1 knew the org was going to drop them and also knew SR was their best shot at being picked up again, so they lost to EG on purpose so SR wouldn’t qualify and they could then pick up v1.

EG without Keenc wouldn’t have been good enough to make the tournament

?

Big booty lesbian Queens

💯 would watch

Is her last name Evergreen?

Was any of their qualifiers on lan?

200/300 will rock someone who doesn’t intake caffeine regularly.

400mg is the recommended MAX caffeine one should have for an entire day.

300mg is basically the equivalent of the strongest energy drink on the market.

However, taking a test on no sleep will always lower your performance.

Next time make sure you ask a friend for an adderall.

I think it’s hard to put an aggressive player like tenz on smokes.

Smokes need to be one of the last alive.

I love pizza.

When I was in rome I went to bochi or whatever his name is and had some crazy pizza.

I would have to say that for my taste american pizza is better than the pizza I had in rome.

I’m talking good American pizza (most of it is done by Italians tbh, but in an American style)

What hitscan is better that already isn’t on a team?

That was hype!

Can’t help but cheer for a team of ladies

Yes Sen! Please for the love of god set him free and send him back to BR!

🙏

How can I be the only one who thinks it’s ignorant to say this?

Half the players they are suggesting should have been picked up just got SMACKED by the import they are complaining about.

2 of the 3 imports tried to carry today…. And they still only lost in overtime.

The players they got for free are just as good and in many cases better, than the players you wish they picked up.

Nationalism is a hell of a drug.

Talon lose in overtime and everyone freaks out.

Ban basically carries the team (most people probably forget he started in NA)

Everyone with small brains be like: “ohhhh no Thai scene is doomed and Talon are idiots!?!?!?!?”

Yes to all of the above.

Add green bean casserole

Me please

EMwhoA

Spoken like someone who didn’t watch the games at champs.

Com single handedly carried a number of maps.

Jawg arguably had more impact than anyone on eg several maps

Ethan had the most assists at champs.

It was a case of INCREDIBLE role players and a superstar duelist.

It’s reasonable to think that NONE of them will be as good next year, that’s how it works with teams that have great role players. A duelist only shines when his team is solid.

I think Ethan will still be good. He was one of the best NA CS players to switch.

Demon1 could definitely take a step back.

How quickly people forget that Mistic was basically a laughing stock and considered the worst player on t1 a year ago.

One good season in t2 on a team that lost to m8 doesn’t change that.

The greatest thing in the world would be pancada going back to BR.

They lost their best player

If he really had flawless mechanics he would always frag well.

Being bad at shooting for a year is inexcusable for a player with great mechanics.

Saadhak made him look better than he is. Period.

Fs had 4 different people play jet
3 different people on initiators
2 people on smokes

And people still say certain Americas players “ are only bad because they had to change roles”

Who?

EG are 2023 World Champions

FNC didn’t even make the finals.

Rest in piss bozos

Interesting choice.

Seems to be a mid player with the same agent pool as power pixel.

I assume starbound is moving to duelist, that leaves a sentinel position open, and you picked up a flex viper.

People like pancada cause he’s “cool” and Brazilians like him because he’s Brazilian.

It’s crazy because countless times players have had bad years or even a bad month or two and everyone is “out for blood” lining the streets with pitchforks talking about how the player is “washed!!!!!”

Pancada plays poorly for an entire year and gets replaced by a veteran who has all the intangible things that pancada lacks and people come out in droves acting like benching an underperforming player is blasphemy.

Reminds me of all the seoldam defenders. Dude has some ranked clips, and because he was popular people still defend him. He’s one of the worst players I have ever seen.

So you think yay is going to be a superstar this year?

What you see is what you get. Maybe it’s about time we realize that pancada might not be as good as everyone thinks without Saadhak.

And tbh this clip is even pretty mid.

The odds pancada continues to be mediocre 70%

This is a time I wish this was like real sports and you could trade players.

Pancada is somehow still wildly overrated and he would fetch a good price on the market. Could probably trade him for someone pretty valuable.

He was signed to EG and Andbox

Mortadella on pizza is surprisingly good.

There is this local frozen pizza around me that’s very common for bars to have and they have a “white” pizza and it’s basically a garlic cream sauce with sausage and onion.

Every time I have pineapple on pizza it’s disappointing. In my head it makes sense but when I eat the pizza I don’t like it for some reason. I think it’s because the pineapple gets much sweeter when it’s heated up. I wish it retained some of its tartness.

They have this famous pizza chain in Saint Louis and they use Provel cheese. I don’t like it at all.

Governor is gonna cook and Ban is solid.

I’ll be honest I don’t know shit about lenne.

Talon was basically one of the worst teams in vct last year. This roster is at least better than the old one.

Lev, NRG, SEN, Loud

4 very good teams fighting for two slots.

With dark horse teams like Furia, C9

If Madrid is only 8 teams it’s going to be surprisingly random who makes it to the tournament.

Look babe! Another jealous Eu farmer.

They sure are cute when they lie.

Look at how stupid they are. This is what happens when you come from a region that isn’t good enough to make a Champions final in over 2 years.

Now fire up that grill and let’s make some burgers. Ohhh you know what goes great with burgers? How about a nice cold beer and the warm satisfaction of being from the best region and the current World Champions of Valorant.

It’s called good sportsmanship.

I’m pretty sure it started with rts games 2 decades ago.

Pretty much everyone said gg gl or gl hf at the start of a match when I played RTS games like SC / TFT /SC2

It’s interesting to think that 2024 will start without a large number of the premier NA talents.

FNS the most accomplished IGL in NA
S0m arguably the best controller in the world last year
Yay the best player of 2022
N4rrate one of the most exciting t2 prospects
Tex duelist of the ascension winning team

Pacific only has 1 real loss that I can think of Jing

And EMEA only has Scream / Nivera

There has to be a reason besides mediocre play.

Pancada was actually good for Sens brand so all of this “doing it for clout” doesn’t make sense.

Wild theory. They are using pancada as bait to attract a really good affiliate team. I know there is some weird work around where you don’t have to pay the players full salary if they are playing in ascension.

All this stuff with mxs might be more than just tournaments it could be the start of an affiliate partnership
