They are EU casters rooting for the underdog.

After map 1 it looked like a clean 2-0. They are just doing a good job hyping the team most likely to lose.

White or black

DRX choking on Bigdick… I mean Optic

Embarrassing

Maybe it feels similar to an OP so he is more comfortable in a zoom.

Stellar prob has the worst personality I’ve ever seen. Was watching him last night and he’s just ranting the entire time and typing in chat. Idk how anyone would want to willingly work with the dude, unless he being hella fake in scrims and shit.

Dumb as a box of rocks

Stop dropping truth bombs on us man….

It’s Easter.

This will be a fun thread if Optic win today :)

Definitely liquids fault.

Sugarzero is owning these kids.

Zeta putting on a clinic.

I wouldn’t want to see an NA team pick this map against them. Sugarzero has been insane.

The top 3 NA teams are all pretty equal in skill.

It’s a very strong region. Whoever has the hotter hand for the day wins.

C9, optic, Guard

All 3 teams are good enough to win this tournament.

Guard against prx?

Nice! 2-0 guard. Gg go next

Some good moves.

I always thought GenG was overrated.

With these moves I think they are rated correctly.

A team that’s fighting for top 8 NA.

That was amazing.

This match has been fun

These guys play like maniacs.

They are making a fan out of me.

While I know nothing about this. It is pretty strange for someone’s aiming style to change drastically.

That would be like Asuna suddenly not having shakey aim. It would be pretty sus.

Asuna is a young rising talent that’s in his “sophomore slump”

As long as he stays focused and motivated, he will be a force in the NA scene for a long time.

If this new 100T structure and culture doesn’t help him grow then nothing will.

Come back in 6 months and we will know for sure if he is worth his weight in salt.

Cheating? I don’t follow CS at all.

Is it like hacks or just the random “Look at those throws” conspiracies?

How do they find a server with good ping for these guys

Cringe.

Eu has the most slots of any region.

How about this. Don’t let the Guard go and give NA 3 Slots.

We send Optic, C9, V1

Interesting that EU thinks they have the best region but their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seed are not good enough to represent them.

Cope and cry

2 EZ for BR

Big mad

2 EZ for BR

VAMOOOOOOOOOO

lol

This is gonna be a slaughter.

(Please don’t send death threats)

You’re gonna hate the finals then.

Liquid has been horribly underrated all tournament.

Them beating Loud wouldn’t really be an upset.

This match is probably 60/40 in favor of Loud.

I thought someone said he left because the salaries for Valorant in his region is much less than the money he could make going to a different region and playing OW.

What’s your list?

I guess you could argue it’s Zeta instead of Xerxia, since zeta only beat 2 of the worst teams.

A tournament ranking wouldn’t be complete if it didn’t piss someone off.

Kru had the harder group.

But I still think they were probably the worst team.

They barley beat the Latam team that NIP smacked.

Can someone just explain… cause I ain’t watching the whole thing

Sick will play smokes

They play 1 bo3 a day…

Grueling?

If anything, teams that made it through the group stage have an advantage because they are warmed up. Less lan nerves.

Only thing that’s bad for them is the film the other teams can watch.

Huge W for this comment

25-3 in the last 28 games

Akrew 2.0

Someone poach these dudes

T1 could drop their roster and sign these dudes and save hella money.

Heh

69 420

Didn’t TSM just lose to a t3 team?

What if NA wins this tournament?

Is it still wrong?

Another question.

If C9 was in group A do you think they wouldn’t have qualified for the playoffs?

True.

However, he is an upgrade for Zombs.

Sinatraa may not be the best pickup, but he’s an improvement over Zombs.

37/69 -32 kd
3/10 Fk to FD

Against Zeta and NIP. One could argue they are the worst teams in the tournament (other than FNC)

Dude had a HORRIBLE tournament. I know you give slack to IGL and I love boaster…. But that’s embarrassing.

2 Ez for NA.

He is

I wake up for work at 6am

I guess I’m just okay with being tired for a day /shrug

Isn’t that asunas brother?

Are you guys gamers?

Da fuck…. Like 12am is late?

Is NA the only region that plays till past midnight?

2-0 DRX

KR owns Asia.

Would dance a happy dance if PRX take this, but I just don’t see it happening.

Shocking!!!

Oh wait.

Not really.

It’s incredibly sus to even give the opportunity that it’s NA v NA in the first round.
