I'm really excited to see him play! Hopefully they'll perform well enough this time to qualify to champs!

woof

I'm all for DRX winning but... they just seem to choke all the time so no way. My money is on PRX

Copium

I don't hate China. I'm just being realistic
Their qualified teams aren't strong enough to go against EMEA's, Pacific's and Americas qualified teams.
If people get their feelings hurt over every little statement being made, that's their problem

Right, cause it's impossible to have parents from two different countries.

Yeah but Korea has :)
As long as one of my teams win

You're talking about the biggest chokers in the history of Valorant
Same rosters for the past 100 years and yet never won a single S-tier international event

PRX is never complete sht
They just ALWAYS choke. Like we already know that they won't win cuz even if they go on a god run, you can expect them to somehow still loose.
And China is bad this year so no surprise having Pacific #3 3-0 CN #1

Sounds like copium

They lost EDG's top form and now we've got
Pacific #3 > CN #1
Pacific #4 > CN #2

Holy fuck, careful... picking up 3 koreans. Looking like a danger team

Yeah very weak... WOL and BLG will likely be the first ones out

It's a shame that PRX made it instead of DRX.
The point is to get players with the potential to win an international. While DRC has that, PRX is far from it

You forgot your meds

Just give CN one slot and the rest to Pacific

What are you talking about... in every esport, EWC is either boycotted by players or used to troll and try new sht
Very few players and viewers take it seriously

Solution: Disband

No it doesn't. It'll remain terrible

I'm expecting ZETA and DRX to beat TE and BLG. I just feel like the bar is set extremely low for CN
But hey! This will be the opportunity to prove me wrong! Excited and curious to see how this will go

T1 basically owns korea (not really but then again, yeah)

I honestly believe it'll go worse

No1 ever tries in this tournament. Just need to look at the previous EWC in other games

EDG made a roster change which isn't working too well
Jemkin carried RRQ to victory (won't get them far at internationals)

Meteor
nAts
Chronicle
Leo
t3xture

After SEN, EDG is easily the second weakest team to have won an international.
Doesn't make the wins any less real tbf

This randomly popped up... why were these specific teams chosen?
And why does XLG and PRX get an automatic top 3 spot?

The format is: dump money in a tournament and hope something happens

TL easily
BBL lack the consistency that TL have. They struggle at internationals

EWC just relies on dumping a fk ton of money on a tournament and hoping it does well (which it never does)

G2
TH
XLG
FNC
SEN
MIBR
TL
GENG
RRQ
BLG
PRX
WOL

He's better than zekken ever was

I always watch pacific. Pacific ain't winning this. But hey, if I'm wrong, I'm happy

Today was GenG's chance to prove their consistency with their new roster.
They didn't.
As for RRQ and PRX, we already know how incosistent they tend to be.

Realistically, the odds are looking better for the other regions. They have more consistent teams and stronger highs unfortunately

I have faith none of the teams will be able to keep up

Pacific is looking horrible for Toronto
All 3 teams lack any form of consistency. Only team I expect to do something is GenG
With RRQ, one bad day for Jemkin, and it's over
For PRX, total incosistency

Eitherway, Paciifc unfortunately ain't winning this one

Terrible draw.
Split up the korean teams

This guy is absolutely insane. RRQ's saving grace
The type of player I always expect to win a 1v1 duel

RRQ is like FUT but better.
FUT relies on xeus to pop off
RRQ relies on Jemkin to pop off
If they don't pop off, they loose
Only difference is that RRQ's other players are better than FUT's

Are they allowed to swap players for a different map?

femboylover is superior

They probably decided not to practice it

If RRQ beat GenG, Pacific is fucked.
RRQ has shown us that they aren't reliable and will choke. GenG so far has been consistently strong with these roster changes.
If they loose or struggle against RRQ, GenG stands no chance at internationals

I'm surprised they even qualified. I'm expecting an instant elimination at internationals

Neither PRX or RRQ should've qualified
I feel like BOOM would've been better contenders

Based

Both

SEN got destroyed by TL... you think they'd beat GenG?

Do we actually expect them to do anything at internationals?
RRQ feels like they'd instantly get eliminated.
I can see PRX go on a run but eventually choke.

It clearly does not work. 0 trophies
Every single winner so far was born thanks to roster changes
