i agree to this. Although if they do something drastic (roster changes, disband, etc.) i'm sure itll turn up

would be rlly funny for that along with the potential to see a 4 way tie of 2-2 if TSM and NRG win their matches

Also the group with optic, eg, etc. is group B btw

who?

it all hinges on how many slots for LCQ this year (still unannounced)

also other teams how far they go this stage.

they might not even make LCQ

faze smeaging fr fr

gg sen, seeya next year

yeah light shields can work against vandals but not with damaging utility on top of that, its why it failed against ghost when theyre running agents like raze, viper, etc.

Not in order

FNS
ANGE1
Vanity
Boaster
Benkai

phoenix is worse than yoru

nah i agree youve got your point.

my point just was ppl are still gonna use the sub excuse for underperforming like it would be drastically different. Where more than likely, FNC wouldn't win iceland, and SEN wouldn't be top of their group with their normal rosters.

I was baiting from the start, thought it was obvious

fr

but either way shaz sucks

im trolling bozo

Valorant too young to have a goat (2)

XSET, GUARD, LG > FAZE

SEN had 2 last week and people still were making excuses for them getting shat on by Optic.

and FNCs 2 subs, they've kept 1 of them and are now 5-0 so does that rlly work?

Poised and Supamen are pretty decent pros, better to be mid than to be ass. Rise was still a really solid roster in part because of them.

FNC 🤝 SEN
fans copium for substitutes in losing matches when it matters.

Def those two, plus imo also Bdog, NISMO, and Aproto

title

they're trolling
not victor = L

alot of why people probably don't watch certain regions outside of highlights is probably because language barriers. Imo I like watching alot of regions but watching broadcasts are alot less enjoyable when you don't understand what the fuck is being said.

Either way, EG isnt a tier 3 team and Optic are still gonna bounce back and likely go 4-1. I just dont see why its apparently a problem to you that we have a competitive sport instead of the same run of dominance which would get boring real quick.

they lost twice in Masters Iceland this year? it wasnt a flawless run to the top though.

so you expect optic to just waltz to a 5-0 in groups and then a flawless through playoffs? every good team takes a loss sometimes, also calling EG a tier 3 team is just flat out disrespectful

Meta changes, teams failing to adapt to that, other teams vod reviewing to counter strat, roster changes, other teams improving all can factor into a team beating another team, even if theyre considered a top team. None of them are flukes you're just smoothbrained because its better to have a more competitive sport than the same dynasty types dominanting.

I wouldn't call anyone that won a major event a fluke, because meta changes and roster changes, not to mention how teams adapt to changes and what not. Its a sport, not everyone is gonna pull a New York Yankees style dynasty. Not to mention other teams specifically trying to counter eachother can lead to upsets. But right now outta the big 4 teams that have won lans, M3C and Optic are the best two right now. But Optic just lost yesterday but I wouldn't lead to calling that a fluke. Same can kinda be said about M3C

NRG go on a hot streak all the way to Copenhagen, end up pulling a KRU champions type run there. Doesnt necessarily have to happen but would be cool.

That or we see someone other than NA or EMEA win Copenhagen (PRX, ZETA, DRX)

they still play under the LG banner until the end of Stage 2, then become orgless, will likely play in LCQ either under an orgless name (similar to M3C in EMEA) or be picked up by another org (which would be likely)

certified banger

victor goes through periods of being insane and then not great, he's still one of the best flex's in NA and easily the best Neon in the world. But his major problem is he isn't consistently popping off

NA just is alot more competitive and optic clearly are having an off day. EG have been on a hot streak lately so couldn't rlly count them out

Its kristof all he does is bad takes

Leave it to the non americans to explain to us how safe it is

Its alot safer than you think, unless youre in chicago. Shootings in general are uncommon but with 330 million people, fed ops, and news media overdramatizing it. It can seem alot bigger of an issue.

Healthcare yeah uk has us beat

Economy is debateable cus rn yeah ours is dog

Avg IQ is there any source to back that up?

no, lightskin latinas

def my second choice tbh, so u were close

I think they'd be middle of the pack, around the same level of sen, faze, knights, tsm, etc. your typical tier 1.5 in NA and 1.5 in EMEA feel about on the same level.

NRG, USA

Hoping this happens ngl

it was still pretty damn close, NAVI just choked when it mattered most

2-1 either way, Split and Icebox are super strong for both the respective picking teams. Haven will decide it

lets go NAVI

60k, used to be like 70k but losing points on betting

fr

Absolutely disgusting

really good catch though by the observers

ngl its still early but 3 rounds running out of time def doesnt look good for TL

All I remember was that it went down the dogshitter when they started doing racing and the beyblades were sideways like a wheel.
But the og show was sick (Fusion, Masters, and Fury)

yeah just close the chat, thats what I do because its just terrible takes, regional supremacy arguments, or just overall toxicity. You enjoy VCT way more by closing the chat for the whole match.

EMEA: FNC, GUILD, FPX/M3C (toss up)
NA: OPTIC , 100T (could fall out based on how the rest of the chaotic group stages go)
BR: LOUD, NIP
LATAM: Leviatan
JP: ZETA
KR: DRX
APAC: PRX, ORDER
