the riot devs want to keep the map pool at 7. adding the new map makes it come to 8. it seems like they are going for season long map rotations.

i just wanna see em play.

never did. it just seems like dude generating hate for the sake of generating hate. so i threw some back at him. but yall gotta keep going. like unprovoked just decides to say some dumb shit.

M3C seems pretty washed rn... why you gotta be a hater?

SEN COPIUM GROWING!

EG 2-0!!

I didnt know anyone below plat was on vlrgg...

2-1 fpx. i think liquid have looked decent for most of the group stage. so i wont say 2-0 fpx

One of the best shows ive ever watched. Highly recommend.

Pretty even group IMO. hard to pick against optic though.

If you told me EG qualified I would believe you

yeah idk... I remember watching them at champions earlier this year or maybe it was late last year idk. and they looked great. this is just sad rn

Forgot about LOUD and I just think NA valorant is very inconsistent. but Optic are up there. just not in my top 5 i'd say. and yes its because they got 2-0 against EG.

Who else are people impressed by? I haven't looked at DRX, Zeta, or PRX in a while but If they're still doing well then I guess you could make a case for those teams too

im gonna hold you to that tattoo when sen win

correct. i was drinking and thought id be playing silver and gold players. turned out it was P3-D2 players. And I didnt notice until 4 games in when i saw a Diamond gun buddy.

nah g. only truth. diamond players suck. so disjointed. no coordination. decent individual plays. but super easy to see coming

I just drunk smurfed my actual rank at D2 for 4 games in a row. I didn't know I was playing in my actual rank. I won all 4 games and match MVP'd every single one. I thought I was playing in silver/gold. because i play with my sister on my smurf. and shes silver 3. Long story short... Diamond players and silver players play the exact same in my opinion...

When push comes to shove. My bet is on XSET and Optic to qualify for masters.

I could se 100t winning the remaining games outright. I could also see them lose the remaining games outright. it hardly matter though. playoffs are mostly locked in. and playoffs and group stages arent the same thing. look at V1 if you need proof.

or at least not valorant anyone will watch anymore. I think if SEN have a bad 2023... the roster breaks up completely.

Family problems. Rawkus Subbing in. Rawkus is a great player though. used to play for faze. not that the faze roster is the same when rawkus played. Faze 2-1 here though. SEN need some time off/time to practice more/a change in roster. 2023 is the last chance for SEN in valorant. if 2023 goes bad... well, no more sentinels valorant.

100T win could be cool. only for Asuna and Nadeshot. RIP HIKO and Nitr0 duo. sorely missed :(

Fnatic winning masters would be a feel good story. Guard comeback story would be awesome too. M3C winning masters through war adversities would be a great story. TSM or SEN redemption arc would be great for viewership. a "minor" region win like PRX or DRX would be cool too. BUT THE NUMBER ONE BEST STORY? ZETA DIVISION COME BACK BIGGER AND BETTER! NICE!!!!!

Zombs said no...

I think they change will be to an IGL. and that change may spell a larger change for the org as a whole. shaz has had a long career. i hope he finds elsewhere to play at a high level. but i think it may be the end of an era here.

I havent given up. Im accepting current trends as reality. I've seen SEN at peak form and I hope they can reach that again. Have a team that dominates as long as mine did!

First off I'd like to say thankyou to the SEN roster for giving me so many enjoyable matches to watch. I can honestly say that I've never had more fun watching valorant/csgo pro play than right now. Nothing is guaranteed and every match is close and a nail bitter. As a fan its super fun and suspensful to watch. I'm not loyal to the SEN org. its the players for SEN that i like. I love them all. I'm pretty confident that the roster is going to change after this VCT group stage. Ive been a SEN fan since day 1 and even though they are struggling currently i will stand with these players forever. I started out as a silver 3 player in ranked when i saw SEN win masters. I'm now a diamond 3 player about to hit immortal. I'll be rooting for SEN in these 3 final games against optic, C9, and Faze. As a diehard fan I dont think they'll make playofs in their current form. But i will watch these upcoming games with excitment. IDC if they go 0-5.
thanks for the exciting times boys. I wish the current SEN roster well in their future. ill be rooting for ya

could be a 2-0 EG could be a 2-1 SEN thats my guess. 2-1 SEN

Im conflicted to who i wanna see win the major. i like s1mple and hes one of thee reasons i still watch CS go stuff, but twistz and karrigan i wanna see win a major too

Logitech G Pro. Not the superlight

I'd agree with Fade being strong. IDK about OP. but def a A to S tier agent. I think Chamber ult is also a very strong ult. maybe increase the orbs required?

Who is in need of a fresh IGL? Could be a massive pickup. My thoughts are maybe SEN. XSET too.

NVM idk

I have a logitech mouse so I can download logitech software to manually set my DPI.
so my dpi is 400 and my in game sens is 0.57

CS go doesnt really get streamers playing. the tournaments are huge though... so idk

I'm telling you man. The ethan addition and the extra time for the other 4 players is going to do wonders. tex and s0m are top 10 players in NA. just you wait.

Youre not alone in thinking this.
I think the guard may not qualify for playoffs. But i LOVE HOT TAKES!

Those qualifier games were close. dont act like Faze vs SEN is anything but a banger of a match. just cause Faze won round 1 doesnt mean they win every other series.

IDC if C9, OPTIC, XSET, and The Guard are in NRG's group. NRG will top the group. 1 loss max.

They have yeah... but this is a new group stage. the teams haven't played in a little while. should be fun to see what they've changed.

1st to 6th place for group A: 1.XSET 2. NRG 3. The Guard 4. TSM 5. 100t 6. ghost

Group B: 1. C9 2. Optic 3. Luminosity 4. SEN 5. Faze 6. EG

You'd think a fnatic fan would be a bit more humble considering their recent performances...

Loud 2-0.

Hot take. If furia wins a map they'll win the series

WTF? kanpeki had some solid rounds there in the lowers... keep his name out of your mouth

C9 and Optic is my guess RN. NRG are my darkhorse tho. Ethan addition and some more time to play together as a team since last masters makes me confident that they are a top 2 team in NA rn. but only time will tell

I think its more efficient to talk about the 4 teams out of the 12 that wont qualify. In my opinion EG and Ghost are probably not going to qualify. and I think the other 2 teams that wont qualify are between SEN, 100t, Faze, TSM and honestly the guard. the guard is my hot take and gut feeling. They had a solid rookie run and maybe they fall off sorta like V1 (V1 wasnt a rookie team IK). I'd like to hear about other peoples hot takes. i know they are generally unpopular. but hey... you gotta have 1 right? makes it more fun

Title...

No this guy clearly picked SoaR to win because hes a sen hater. look at his only 2 ever posts. hes doing it to be a SEN hater.

and BTW
Sen 2-0 SoaR... sooo...

Get real SEN clearly beat SoaR. but I can understand people picking Akrew 2-0 over SEN. But FR quit being a SEN hater for the sake of being a SEN hater. its like an anti-bandwagon. it's like listening to a 12 year old.

knights 2-0 whoever makes it here
