this can be applied to all regions btw, including NA

just enjoy good international valorant instead of doing the classic arguing of "hurr durr my region is better yours is dogshit" when the level of competition this year is the closest its ever been. Iceland already proved that

its been one map in a best of 3 and yall rlly out here jumping to conclusions, typical regional supremacist smoothbrains

welcome to vlr

reverse sweep incoming.
still brought it back and was a warmup game.
the script says so

fr fr

El Diablo starting to wake up

mocking got handed the script again

fr fr

Leo and Crashies easily in that top 5 itw

Optic needs to warmup
2-1 reverse sweep because the m3c icebox comp is dogwater for optic thus far

Crashies out cold to stop that.

Like I had expected, if Optic run the m3c comp that they lost to xset with, they lose icebox, win the match 2-1. Optic needa warm up.
Yall can laugh now but the script is there

guild could win icebox just considering the m3c comp optic runs looks shaky

But optics map pool is pretty good outside of breeze which has been a permaban for awhile.

Split and Ascent are def optics so I'd say 2-1 unless Optic kick ass on icebox

optic 2-0 if they run a diff comp from the m3c brimstone icebox
2-1 if they do run it.

hbd

yeah they definitely started to panic a bit it seemed. Either way I expect them to bounce back in the elims against Guild and then KRU again (probably) I could always be wrong on that prediction. But it'd be surprising if LOUD dont make playoffs

bonecold 2/2 so far

Optic 2-1 KRU

not another curse

NTH technically performed better than ZETA did in M1 opener against DRX

Playoffs

yeah the interview that was just shown on the masters stream

Theyre going to. Their ceiling is like top 6

Most realistic for top 3:
Fnatic Optic PRX

Outta those 3 I'd wanna see PRX win Copenhagen honestly. Them DRX or Loud just so we get a shake up and see a region other than na or emea get a title, would really spice up champs. Good international competition > one region dominance

Last place for a reason, they don't beat anyone. I love shroud dont get me wrong but he's coming out of retirement to play as a sub for just LCQ. And the odds that he is a difference maker for sentinels is slim to none ofc 100t would beat them, as would pretty much every other tesm

good for viewership
might actually perform decently

but either way SEN place last in NA LCQ

all this just to place 8th in LCQ

The way the US also calculates gun deaths. It includes suicides, accidental discharges, and legitimate self defense into that, which make up more than half of all gun related deaths. Mass shootings are also a really small percentage compared to even single homocide instances.

Honestly babyj or android wouldnt be bad pickups but babyj is a known baiter and allegedly a bad teammate, with all the flaws that sentinels roster has already i feel like adding a potential extra cancer wouldnt help them out much. Theres a reason why nobody has picked him up just like Wardell or Sinatraa

Android however definitely would be the better of the two, really sucks that NRG dropped him. But he's no sicK replacement

Regardless sen finishes 8th in lcq

Optic 2-1

That or they lose, beat KRU (who loses to LOUD)

Then revenge game against Guild in decider. Script has Guild being the Xerxia from Iceland

Viper
Omen/Astra
Fade/Sova
KAYO
Raze/Neon

Or dropping second controller for chamber or sage

Feeling like this could be a no duelist map even

Would be cool but who would be dropped from the m3c roster?

Cloud and 7ssk7 are a great duo for NAVI and i dont see either leaving anytime soon considering NAVi are atleast good enough to be a top 10 emea team every challengers. Just not better than the top 3-4 teams that go to internationals, wouldnt make sense for cloud to leave with lcq coming up

Honestly dont have alot of ideas for potential theme or abilities but a new controller to compete with viper would be nice.

With the next codename being Mage it could be some magic wizard type powers to summon smokes and walls maybe?? Idk i just think we need another controller or sentinel

S2, don't play enough to climb seriously

352

Zeek or S1mple would be my 2 picks but both are really unlikely

Faze, 100T, or EG are early favorites
But if Guard bounces back to stage 1 form (they actually looked ok against TSM and NRG when they went back to old comps) they could win LCQ.

SR and NRG i think will do okay bur probably won't win it.

The only teams i can say safely wont win LCQ are SEN and C9

Optic will prob win, but it is technically a fact right now that they haven't yet. But that will kinda be irrelevant after this masters, Regardless it should be a good match like most in this upcoming masters.

Optic Loud for A
FPX DRX for B

Optic getting their first win against EU

Definitely get a left handed mouse though with buttons

Rest in peace Techno, fuck cancer.

Honestly followed him on and off for years and was a great content creator overall.

Imma keep it a buck 50 with you bro as another lefty.

I have never once seen anyone play a mouse left handed well. Ive tried and it just doesn't feel right, just because the way a keyboards layout is and such makes gaming that way seem psychotic. So personally i wouldnt try.

But if you're mad lad enough and want to good luck, i dont got any advice though.

Not disagreeing but where is it stated that matchmaking is based on the MMR/stats of the party leader??

C9 Breeze
G2 Icebox
Optic Fracture
Knights Ascent
PRX Bind
M3C Breeze
DRX Haven
Fnatic Bind

All just to name a few

W, hopefully Riot does this because they'd be stupid not to

Last Masters outside the fact that 2 teams were hindered was still super competitive and enjoyable. Having 4 diff regions in the final 4 was proof towards that. But Copenhagen is looking to be just as if not more that Reykjavik. Should be great regardless of who comes out on top

covid nerf

5head from them to not skip right to playoffs. LOUD was the only skip group team at M1 to even go anywhere

2 players have covid right now.

Plus this could be 5heading from optic so they can play group stage like they did at Iceland.

clout doesnt bring in trophies.
