16 teams so team secret makes it in! i really feel like they should have beat xerxia but ig it was an nt. they are gonna go great in lcq i bet

apac is a 1 team region. nothing is gonna change my mind. i love apac, but atm, paper rex is destroying every single team in the region and imo they are the only apac team that is capable of making a big international showing. i do believe paper rex wins the grand final though. but xerxia is good in apac but against word class teams, they just don't really stand a chance. just my opinion

yeah true tbh, i do agree with the original post though, you are right they spend way too much time on that kinda stuff

EU games are the most boring

they changed it to 2 so after champions they can dedicate the rest of the year to game changers

IM SO SORRY DELUSIONAL_POTTER_FAN also hello from nerdstreet chat like last week on the guard vs soar.

These are my predictions. this is not set up in places, but in the order of who i think will win. (from #1 being the best chance and last being the lowest chance) my predictions are:

#1 the guard (kinda depends though) they are the clear dark horses of the event. once again. each player have so much potential and individual skill as well as the chemistry to top it off. however, they are very inconsistent and inexperienced have have been performing very bad recently. if they can go back to their original from from stage one, they have what it takes to get through the event without dropping a single map, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to the way they perform. they could either go really well or really bad but they have a history of performing when it is most important.

2./3faze/nrg. these are the obvious ones as they went really well in challengers stage 2. they have a lot of potential but at the same time, i dont think even of they won, they would make a big international showing.

4. 100 thieves. they are a very strong side and the players didnt have much experience last stage. i have a strange feeling that they will come back and be ready to perform internationally.

5/6. shopify rebellion/ sentinels (lmao) with SR, they have been a strong team for a long time now and i think eventually, they will have to come up and now might be the time. with sentinels, i know it sounds dumb but with their new roster, i think it will force all of the players to play extra hard and with the bootcamp, it will really force every to step up. especially shahz as an igl. i don't think they will win but i do believe that they will do well.

7.-however many others. ig these teams just won't go well in my books. cloud9 imo just won't be in for for a while and i can't see them stepping up any time soon. evil geniuses, are good but i dont thik they will be good enough for the other teams and whoever i missed are the same.

lmk what you guys think, whether you agree or disagree.

they did get eliminated fair and square, but i do still feel bad for them. i hope they go well in champions then

daddy TS_ChedZ. my master.

lmao i love country stereotypes

so happy to join you master, TS_ChedZ

yeah bro you are right. thank yiou

culture! beer, bogans and bunnings. nothing better than spending tons of money on random stuff that you will never use and then top it off with a burnt sausage in some stale white bread. we have good gun laws! guns are bad. democracy! everyone has their say on who runs the country. (rip scomo...) we have the best jobs! (tradies, tradies or nerds) we have a cool history! (besides extreme racism that is) AUSTRALIANS ALL LET USSSSS REJOICE, FOR WE ARE ONE AND FREE!
extra, also most important, WE HAVE THE ONE AND ONLY, TS_ChedZ

that didnt age well

yeah ig. i do think that order is better than bobo but you are right. however i do still believe that order have what it takes to redeem themselves. also just wanted to add that i wouldn't go so far as to sell my left testicle for it lmao

goddammit man. i hate how all of your regions are constantly getting all of the spotlight and all you do is defend it. is it wrong to have confidence in your region going somewhere for once? Indonesia have some world renowned teams and players and i am from Australia and i want oce to make it somewhere. you are greedy. you truly are. you have the teams and players and they have had the spotlight and yet you shit on oce fans for not having it. you are literally flaming people for not having what you do. for god's sake let us have some confidence in our region. every time i try to express the fact that oce is a good region with a lot of potential i get shit on by people like you. why bother? why go out of your way? i understand, you may not think that ORDER will make it far but instead of telling the region as a whole to "sit the fuck down" why can't you just accept our confidence and disagree. you don't have to agree but to go out of your way and be an asshole about it is just beyond me.

this is valorant, not cs. any region is capable of anything, no such thing as a fluke region anyway

PAPER REX 3-2 FNATIC

the bootcamp will help imo. they are gonna have weeks of prac with the new 2 teammates, shahz will have to step up as an igl and finding analysts are also gonna help. i don't think they will win, but i don't think they will come last.

i agree with the first part at least. anyway, it is an honor to have none other than trembolonaRage reply to my post

LMAOOO expected that tbh. more so the opposite though

seeing people call a team a fluke really pisses me off tbh, i have seen a lot of people calling optic a fluke team so far, like wdym? when optic versed any team they played in masters last stage, the other team just didn't try or something? they just magically happened to become world champions. they didnt hve the most convincing run in na stage 2 so far, but the teams dont stay the same all the time. players and teams gradually get better. think of sentinels vs fnatic masters 2 grand final. if sentinels then versed optic in masters last stage, optic would thrash them because the teams didnt get worse, other teams just got better. that doesn't mean they are a fluke, it just means they can't keep up with the improvement of other teams that fast. this applies for most teams in the world who are being called a fluke. i am not saying fluke teams don't exist at all, but most of the time, if a really high level time begins to lose, it isn't a fluke, they are probably just burned out, lacking experience or just can't keep up with meta or other teams. give them a goddamn break! calling them a fluke isn't gonna magically make it better.

really glad guild won tbh, emea 3rd seed rising up. the real underdogs of this event

thats what everyone says every time though, and they they burn out and won't reach top 4. lets see if they actually can this time. i think they do have what it takes though

i hate to continue this but with boom, i just want to explain that inconsistency exists, and affects everyone. if wronski was playing at his average level in the first half of map 1, it would have been the most embarrassing 2-0 of boom's life. but i can't argue, because it didnt happen. my point is,, they had potential. they had everything they needed to embarras boom, but they couldn't pull it off because they were inconsistent. this is why i am saying, this time in lcq, they will be ready and they won't be as inconsistent and they have what it takes to win. not saying they will, but they can, and that is up to them and their mental's to decide. i won't lie, onic and team secret are very strong teams, but order are known for making magic, lets see it this time. again, go ahead and flame me if they don't, but they have what it takes. thats all.

i just said it was over, stfu. no more talk until apac lcq begins. then you can flame me

its a bait for confidence and attention. you guys are doing exactly what he wants. you are talking about him and he is getting a little bit of the spotlight. that is exactly what he said it for

LOUD 2-1 OPTIC
NTH 2-1 XIA
DRX 2-0 FPX

wtffff? kanpeki is so new! and he was doing fine. feel bad for the guy

LMAO "make kyedae cheat on tenz" that was funny af

your right. points out a fact but people still talking shit. vlr.gg is full of hypocrites tbh. w take, SaltyMcNulty

id love to believe you, mocking, but i just can't agree with you on this one!

W Pujan Mehta

ikr let me add the one i hate the most

"guard is fluke"
yeah, they accidentally beat the top na teams and held there own against the best in the world. when they beat c9, optic etc, they were just magically playing bad, huge fluke. WTF?????????? literally doesnt make sense

i just said it was over, stfu. no more talk until apac lcq begins. then you can flame me.

lmao i was literally thinking before the game "oPtIc hAvEnT bEaT aNy eMeA tEaM" optic are gonna destroy guild after that but nevermind. well played guild!

my point is, there are no top apac teams to "rek" order. the cycle of APAC is that paper rex "reks" every single good apac team and they are all constantly bowing down to them, knowing that they will probably never be as good. among these teams who far below paper rex, they win some and they lose some. but among these teams, ORDER has a lot of potential. not to be the best in APAC because every team in apac is tier 10 compared to paper rex but among the tier 10 teams of apac, ORDER have potential. no hate to any apac teams in lcq, but its true, they hae what it takes and im calling it now that they are capable of doing it. thats it. no more. goddamn, apac has way too many rivalries but that is the end of this. im not trying to cause problems, im not trying to get absolutely verbally destroyed if they dont show up, im just saying that they are capable. that is it

BOBO hopefully gets signed by some org. they are all so talented

uhhhhhh what?????

ohhh my god man. i have had enough of this scrims shit. nobody knows what tf happened in the scrim. for all we know, the scrim didnt even happen so stfu and forget about it. it wasnt hurting anyone anyway

no one ever mentioned dickjzer whatever tf his name is. wronski jett diff him any day anyway

never speak like that to the king of oce, TS_ChedZ

oh yeah probs wont make franchising anyway lmao

confidence is key

LMAOOOOOO okay then lets see it next na open qual

geng flair?

who tf is orangutang

lets go TS_ChedZ. these guys wont understand until ORDER destroys their precious APAC teams and go to champions
