very sad that if envy were to ascend they would effectively disband, cuz 2 of them arent old enough to play in vct who also happen to be their most talented players
bro s1mple is mid even in CS, what makes you think he would be a good Valo player?
it has to be ethan, afaik he is the only player who has won a tier 1 trophy in both CS (ESL One NYC 2019) and Valo (champs 2023)
by tier 1 in val i mean masters/champs (regionals dont count imo)
bleed exists (or existed ig)
except t1 (and sen) is an exception, like geng last year when they won shanghai, they DIDNT fall off and instead just won the next split. Then they shit the bed in champs but we dont talk about that one.
If GenG didnt fall off immediately and were able to stay winning, either t1 and SEN are frauds/lazy, or GenG are just that good
fr, people were giving him a pass for toronto, cuz he is "greatest IGL of all time".
Bro, we're getting outcalled by fucking boo in 2025 😭
Unfortunate, kaajak 1v9 until the final map where he just falls asleep. Alfa however slept the whole match
youre right, im not a liquid fan, im a serial fan
bro started watching val after yesterdays semis xd
anyway sorry but its pretty bad bait, i rate 0/8
i completely forgot that this is also the first EWC Valo event so casual viewers (~75% of any event viewership) don't even know where to watch it, theres nothing about this event in the game client
two reasons
1: most of the val community actually is concerned about the saudi sportswashing and are boycotting the event (whereas in CS i dont think ppl care as much)
2: OH MY FUCKING GOD RIOT PLEASE REVOKE THE PARTNERSHIP IF THE PRODUCTION WILL CONTINUE TO BE THIS BAD THERES MORE TECHPAUSES THAN IN VCT EMEA AND 2024 PACIFIC KICKOFF COMBINED HOLY FUCK. like seriously, the SEMIFINAL MATCH THAT WILL BE PLAYED ON STAGE IN FRONT OF A CROWD is DELAYED
also can we PLEASE stop calling this a masters? its not called a masters, just a tournament
according to vlr itself, EWC is not a part of the VCT cycle

now what
btw, can i know how much did u just lose by betting on prx? cuz only a degen blinded by rage bettor can come up with such shit bait
on my mom, u wouldnt be sayin this if sen/nrg were losing xd
no, he isnt
are YOU restarted?
istg this is a problem in both Val and LoL in EU, players having ego higher than the fucking moon "nO i DoNt WaNnA pLaY dUeLiSt" does he fucking realize him being on jett/raze every game would feed continents
would have to be a massive change in culture, like trad sports is big cuz u come home from work, put on an NBA/NFL game on tv, crack open a cold beer, and if you have them, invite ur 40yo buddies to a watchparty
thats like 50% of NA households on a matchday
when that starts being the case with esports, then we can talk about selling broadcast rights to TV stations, which would result in the viewer needing to pay some subscription, probably just pay for television and then u can just watch it on a mainstream channel
the 2 events that i know for sure make a profit are cs majors (40-60m revenue from stickers per major) and LoL worlds (idk how much they make in revenue but surely millions of ppl buy the event pass and winners skins)
he thinks its 2020 and jett smoke lasts 10 sec, JUST FUCKING WAIT 2 SEC THEN JIGGLE FFS SILVER BOT
you are fully sweating for that rookie of the year title, and then some random filipino kid comes in outta nowhere in the middle of split 1 and just wins everything.
Patmen gets ROTY, theres no debate anymore, kaajak can go 1.5 kpr for the rest of the year but with 3 intl events a year the trophies are too important, also fnatic isnt winning champs even if chron, alfa, kaajak and crashies all get 100 kills, b0tster will still figure out a way to completely sell the game
alfa 100 kills meanwhile b0tster 40 kills ffs, this wasnt IGL diff, it wasnt IGL gap, or canyon, it was IGL interstellar space
b0tster is nothing compared to f0rsaken
yeah ik, thats why i said this year
yeah the crowd is straight up 3x the size and its not valo communitys fault, its rit0 fault for cheaping out on the venues this year, bangkok was also played in a FUCKING SHOPPING MALL EXHIBITION HALL instead of an ACTUAL ARENA
hey i only have this flair because of serial, im a national bandwagoner, imo thats acceptable for a small country like us
yeah i didnt even mention watchparties theres like at least 400k on the top 10 twitch watchparties alone
150k on yt... i would say something rude but i chose not to because maybe u just dont know that its not 2019 anymore and twitch main channel isnt the only stream of the tournament
and thats why you have displacing util, not just flashes
ofcourse if u play val like its cs u will lose
bro ill buy u a bundle if they win pearl
completely delusional, regional scrims is not enough practice to win vs a team that has 74% winrate on it
(if they even had any scrims on it as its their permaban)
isnt it pearl? + they were decent last year on sunset, although they had hiro then
ok lets leave kaajak and alfa out of this they been pulling FNC thru this tourney kicking and screaming + its kaajak 1st international and int grand finals, but yeah, this is proof botnicle got carried to his trophies, and EU IGLs need to startt fucking shooting, every other regions top IGLs are fraggers which allows their teams to autowin against EU (PRX has f0rsaken the GOAT, G2 has valyn, insane mechs)
well, as #7 said, only veto advantage from upper bracket is often too small of an advantage, iirc rocket league was the biggest esport where you needed to beat the UB team in 2 different best of 7 series, that is very difficult to do unless the skill difference is massive which is NOT the case for FNC v PRX. I'd even say PRX are better on average, so FNC never had a chance here
im not defending their brainless first seed playoffs bye approach
also, that is largely fine, if not for the massive meta changes between the first seeds winning their regionals and actually having to play in the masters
fr someone pls send me a match link where f0rsaken is under 0.9 within the last year
its a 3-0, they have no chance on icebox or pearl
they had to win this, thats why we tweaking
but ig nothing you can do against the greatest player of all time, f0rsaken
i mean, bro is IGLing, flex, AND hes hard carrying every game
y0y, asspas, le0 aint got nun on him
maybe dont lose a game??
we (community) talked about this many times, every month, and everyone and their moms is in support of double elim because theres only 3 events every year and a 6 month offseason
fully clueless, if you actually watched the game, you would know there is divine intervention here
that noscope had 90-95% chance to hit (i tested 30 attempts), also r6... luckiest map of cs2 of all time
also crowd is helping mongolz
well i was wrong
this is going to age horribly
wolves 2-1 gen.g
