Wouldn't it be easier to win the matches and move up through the winner's bracket?

Am I watching a ranked match????????????????????????????????

The prince who didn't become king. Sad.

Same vibe as Demon1, only without a trophy to call his own. A brutal fall.

How am I supposed to show up and defend my team? I have absolutely no standing.

This might be the most important match of everyone's career there; the result will speak volumes about whether MIBR has even the slightest chance of bouncing back, or if it will cement their status as the worst "super-team" ever assembled in the history of the game

I'm afraid of Envy. These are dark times.

The game is played

Is this lineup for today's game correct? Have mercy, my God.

With all due respect, but who looked at Koshmaras and thought it was a good idea?

We know he is still a great player, but his individual performances have fallen well short of what is expected of someone of his caliber. At this point, shouldn't the team start making some changes?

Do you want to ruin the fun in Vlr? I just saw a guy bothered by the crosshair Aspas was using. That’s the magic of vlr.gg

The guy said "Primmie" and thought no one would see.

Tá jogando contra

The guy got annoyed over a crosshair.

That said, 8x2 FK/FD.

Nossa maior conquista

Come back, Palla

Don't start, man.

Em 2022, ele chegou à final do torneio com veto duplo, mas pipocava, foi eliminado no Masters 2 e, mesmo assim, ganhou apenas um troféu com veto duplo, sem nem ser o melhor jogador da equipe.
Em 2023, chegou à final do Lockin, mas perdeu no final, venceu o Americas (uma conquista que a G2 não conseguiu provar), depois foi eliminado em Tóquio jogando muito mal e conseguiu um top 3 no Champions por sorte, graças ao Chadhak e ao Less. Em
2024, não se classificou para Madrid, ficando no mesmo grupo 🤣. Na primeira fase, ficou em 3º lugar, com 100 jogadores na competição, e a G2 (com o Icy) foi eliminada em Xangai no FUT 😂😂😂. Venceu a segunda fase graças ao pipocamento da G2. Depois, pipocaram numa final fácil para o campeonato e foram eliminados 😂 e perderam de 0-3 para o TH (aquele time da Lev foi um fracasso total, só chegou longe uma vez).
Em 2025, não conseguiram se classificar para Bangkok, foram eliminados na 3ª fase e foram imediatamente massacrados em Toronto. Aspiss foi um dos piores jogadores daquele evento.
Depois, fraudaram a classificação para o campeonato, mesmo sendo uma equipe péssima, porque venceram a 100T. Aí, de repente, Boterno tem um evento incrível onde joga bem com Aspiss e chega ao top 6 (ainda um fracasso, mas ninguém esperava que eles fossem longe).
Em 2026, não conseguiram se classificar para Santiago e Londres e jogaram muito mal durante todo o ano, atraindo Zekken para a armadilha.
O ditador conseguiu o que queria e decide jogar mal, por quê? Verdadeiramente o jogador mais superestimado de todos os tempos, ganhou 3 troféus, 2 regionais e 1 campeonato (e nem era o melhor jogador do evento). Sejamos honestos, em termos de conquistas, Jawgemo completa os dogpas.

Are we really going to ignore the biggest championship of the year to believe this narrative?

And what was the last final that Pr0miee competed in?😭

Wait until your friend reaches a regional final to join this conversation, bro 😭

There's no explaining how Heretics went from being that monster in 2024 to becoming this joke.

mini who

The fans are the ones who will definitely lose out in this series.

don't be boring

As I said, I based my analysis on individual statistics. Timotino has a rating of 1.00.

Some points:

• I'm basing this on individual kickoff stats.
• I'll leave out flex players as I'm only talking about duels.

AMERICAS:
1 - Aspas
2 - Mada
3 - Kenzit (I'm also surprised)

EMEA:
1 - Lovers Rock
2 - Marteen
3 - Larok

APAC:
1 - Primmie
2 - Dambi
3 - Texture

CHINA:
1 - Rarga
2 - Splash
3 - f4ngeer

Note: It's obviously difficult to get a true average due to the difference in rounds played, but these are the stats so far. EMEA honestly surprised me quite a bit.

Congratulations, bro, you just found out that the seed 3 team in China is going to be the BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD! DAMMMMM!

I think differently, but I respect that viewpoint.

Since they are in the EMEA FINAL, I think it's an appropriate term. You guys are overestimating this term.

They are above-average teams. It's easy to understand.

The EMEA region finals made me reflect on what's been happening. Are teams like BBL and Gentle Mates truly superteams, or are we witnessing a general decline in the level of competition? Honestly, it's unbelievable not to see teams like Team Liquid, Vitality, Fnatic, or even GiantX near the top of the standings.

Then we would have yet another team vying for the title of best in history.

Amém

Looking at the stats makes everything look worse. it was literally supposed to be a massacre.

A solid foundation, volatile adaptation, impeccable game sense, three-time regional champions zero international titles. How??????

How did NRG, who were brutally manhandled by G2 all year long, go on to win a CHAMPIONS, while G2 can’t even win a final against the useless T1?

Are we talking logically? NRG

Are we talking about the power of friendship, magic, the power of the fans, Eric Santos GOAT? MIBR

All G2 had to do was win a single Masters tournament and they would have become the first dynasty in Valorant.

In no particular order, this is the Bermuda Triangle.

In Brazil, especially in Radiant queues, about 6 out of 10 matches involve streamers. In most of these matches, there's almost always someone screen-sharing or wintrading. I'm trying to understand if this is a peculiarity of the Americas or if the same problem also occurs in regions like APAC, EMEA, and China. Furthermore, T2 players are constantly being kicked from their organizations due to ranked queue manipulation.

That's a great point of view. I can agree with that.

That makes sense. Maybe examples like Fnatic, Sentinels, GENG, T1, and PRX make it easier to illustrate my point. They hit their peak, won, and even while keeping the entire player base, the team collapses in the next tournament.

My point definitely isn’t that. I love the surprises these unexpected champions bring. But at the same time, I wonder why the hell this happens so often in Valorant’s competitive system.

I agree to a certain extent. How can teams that conquer the world be erased from the podium the following year, or even in the next tournament? Sentinels, Gen G, EDG, T1, PRX, etc.

Valorant's competitive format, combined with a volatile meta and long intervals between tournaments, allows underperforming teams to surprise simply by not carrying the attention or pressure that falls on the favorites. This happened in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with clear examples like EG, EDG, and NRG.

Who really expected EDG to be a favorite? Or NRG? Consistency hardly mattered: all it took was reaching Champions level and performing well at the right time. Honestly, this highlights something unfortunate about the current competitive system: there's no clear hierarchy, and teams that dominate all year round aren't consistently rewarded. In Valorant, titles still depend more on peaking at the right time than on accumulated merit.

Why on earth does this happen?

If teams that are consistent throughout the year aren't rewarded, does Valorant's competitive format really determine which is the best team?

Analyzing his statistics doesn't give a real sense of the situation, but it's worrying. For those who follow Fnatic, Kaajak is going through a bad phase in terms of statistics and overall impact?

I share the same opinion. What likely makes a true dynasty in Valorant almost impossible is the limited number of international tournaments each year and the long gaps between them. The game’s meta is constantly changing—sometimes a methodical, structured playstyle is rewarded, while at other times a more raw and aggressive approach becomes the key to victory. This may explain why a team like T1, which looked incredible at the beginning of the year, struggled so much to compete in its own regional league as the year went on.
