definitely a possibility

100T, EG, FaZe, Guard if they bounce back are the ez top 4
NRG and SR have potential but I don't expect them to
C9 I have little faith in
sentinels taking 8th for sure

Korea has only ever sent 1 other team other than DRX to a masters, and that team doesnt exist anymore. Thats not a diss on korea at all. I'm just saying compared to every other region to this point. Korea is the only one who hasnt sent multiple teams to more than 1 international event.
LATAM until Copenhagen was in that same boat.

a t3 region wouldnt even have a slot in master
0/8 bait

the only regions that would be considered minor rn are OCE, SA, China, and MENA

fnatic have atleast been consistent in making every international except Berlin

fnc rn isn't overhyped, they won emea for a reason, and emea is probably one of the two most competitive regions domestically. I can see them at bare minimum finishing top 6 at copenhagen.

DRX eventually will break through and win a masters im sure, honestly I wanna see them PRX, LOUD, or any of the other non emea/na teams win a masters or champs

nah emea can compete too, fnatic are a top 3 itw.
FPX when full roster is pretty good
guild is just emea xset
they've still technically won as many masters + champs as NA. (the only 2 regions to do so)

I understand why you're saying that given the toxicity of some of the emea supremacist trolls but you're just as bad bro

as i said going into M1, there is no such thing as a minor region because every region is competitive and has several international level teams
(except for maybe korea, but DRX is still a top 5-10 itw consistently) Its good for the scene to have such a small international gap because it means anyone can win, thats why "upsets" happen all the time

its a never ending cycle of braindead vlr users, its not gonna change sadly.

EVERY region has a dozen or so troll bozos on this site that keep this toxic cycle going and gives everyone else a bad rep, your take is the correct one that most people have, just aren't the vocal majority

its almost as if emeas fans didn't do this after every map of FPX XER and OPTC GLD yesterday.

Its a never ending cycle of toxicity so don't get all defensive bozo

this has happened everytime a map has ended this masters, literally FPX v Xerxia earlier today was the same way.
As was both maps of GLD v OPTIC, and KRU v LOUD yesterday.

People jump to conclusions and would rather be toxic and talk shit before a series even ends. Its a never ending cycle of toxicity

TMV is a gigachad

Honest facts, common w from NG1nS.

Its getting so fucking old to see the same cycle of "my region better yours is shit" anytime anyone wins instead of people just enjoying good international competition and realizing that nobody is gonna be constantly on top because everyone that makes it to LAN deserves it and can beat any other team any given day. No flukes. But everyone here is braindead so

Honestly we need more people like justenjoying back. People who arent toxic regardless of whether "their region" or team wins or loses and just enioys the esport for the sake of it.

Its a never ending cycle of bullshot toxicity whenever a team loses they get trashed and then their fans get angry and then get toxic back when they win next time.

Common archetype w

Wouldnt say thats a game to brag about

Ah yes the match ends and another "your region sucks mines better post"

So original

Grow up

Fpx ascent is also really good thats why

Sadly youll get downvoted for speaking facts, every regions a victim of having really vocal toxic fans.

Id say those 4 and scary are the top 5 itw for sure

Welcome to vlr, place of braindead takes on a daily basis.

People would rather sit around and shit on each other and their regions, and make bad baits than actually constructive discussion about val esports

Who even said anything about NA in this post you sped?

Im just pointing out the fact that 99% of any post you make on this site its "na is dogshit". Get original buddy instead of attention grabbing

Nobody with a brain would count them out.

Theure realistically gonna make playoffs with fpx having subs. And given that group stage is unpredictable as fuck you rlly cant say 100% this team wins anything as international level competition is very close

You really only post to talk shit about other regions.

Doesnt it get tiring being a negative asswipe all the time?

Drawing is stupid, anytime im in ranked with my boys and if we end up in OT its typically the "dont draw unless ur a pussy" and it usually works to avoid it.

Alrwady did lmao

Meta always shifting, formats dogshit, skipping to playoffs is already bad enough.

Optic probably gonna bounce back ngl, they played okay just yay whos typically one of their two main x factors had the worst performance of his career, safe to say it prob wont happen again.

Granted Louds players also had an off day too they even said so in an interview (Sacys).

Regardless this rematch should be a banger regardless of who comes out on top and probably will springboard into playoffs by beating guild or kru in a rematch.

Could be the latter, optic and loud are probably the most vod reviewed teams in the world rn, so guild and kru prob did their homework. That combined with off days for players like yay and aspas lead to optic and loud both taking Ls

Resistance of what

If theyre tier 2 how are they at a masters

Dont let the "my region better than yours" people hear you say that though.

Just speaking straight facts

Whos accusing him of cheating? Lowering your in game volume =/= any sort of aimbot or actual cheat. Some ppl prob just havent seen it done before.

Because everyone here cant accept that meta changes and teams arent gonna be consistent dynasties internationally so they have to label everything as a fluke despite many teams being consistently good whether they won a title or not, but nobody has regular dominance which is overall good for the scene long term. But it doesnt make everything a fluke.
VLR just the hub of dogshit takes

Optic if Yay is back online and not sleeping like he was today. Granted Guild also avoided him quite a bit today. But the rest of optic was performing to standard, if not above in the case of FNS. Yay was just the only one not there. They'll bounce back like they always do

Dogshit eu baiter calls out dogshit na baiter,
10/10

Typical "every win except for my team or region is a fluke" post

Welcome to vlr, place of baits and dogshit takes on a daily basis, yet we all somehow stick around.

People will argue here over what region is more dogshit instead of actually enjoying international valorant and saying hey this team played great. Its all negative bullshit and baits. And eveverregions fanbase is guilty of this.

Enjoy your stay

factual.

gg, can't wait for the entire site to be filled with another toxic war between na and emea fans

actual banger of a game tho

regardless of winner, actual banger

regardless of winner, yes

pujan owns

fr

crashies clutches are always nutty

i think he means that T side split is usually pretty bad for everyone

they did call optic a titan

i say tactically throwing in regards of optic how they lose their opener and then win out to qualify to playoffs. Either way I don't know what the fuck is happening today either. DRX vs NTH is the only game that was up to expectations.

Optic has to be tactical throwing like they kinda did against Xerxia to win the rematch.

tactical throw probably

factual

the "my region is better yours is dogshit" argument is so old and toxic. Its hella repetitive and makes everyone involved look stupid. Every regions fanbase is guilty of that to some extent, especially here on VLR.

Just enjoy good international competition people, grow up.
