Top 4 bump. What a game TH v DRX. Icebox was insane to watch.
Quite interesting no?
SEN v FNC — It has been so long since they’ve last played each other officially, tho they’d have scrimmed against each other during their recent bootcamp.
TH v DRX — First time playing against each other, DRX also have a revenge storyline going for Gen.G (which was unsuccessful against SEN).
This could be exciting.
TH & GENG are the only two teams that I’m genuinely impressed with this year and I’ll put them at S Tier.
SEN I’m just not too sold on, maybe becuz they weren’t as consistent imo.
I think the point is fnc actually gamba stacked aggro a site to make a play/to pick off that 1 guy (lurker), sure it did played out worse in the end, but they could’ve have some winning chances if it did worked out. As for how they managed to plant the spike, it was very hindsight, but it was more on alfa’s error imo, he was not with the stack and was late in jumping off resulting in the spike being planted first. Also another difference was g2 was already down 9-4 while in fnc’s case it was only 0-1, I mean ppl should still respect g2’s decision to jump off since they deemed it as their most optimal play at the moment but it is what it is. All that fined/disrespectful yap was an overreaction for sure tho.
timestamp for the fnc’s round:

I’ve already said my piece if you read it.
I disagree with the disrespectful, fined, yada yada take, like it’s not that serious bro.
But I do agree that G2 could’ve taken a different approach, like stacking a site or setting a trap for 1 kill etc, and then deciding to jump off depending on how it plays out, especially since they are already down 9-4 and eco rounds are technically still winnable.
But at the same time it’s perfectly fine for G2 to do what they did since they thought that was their most optimal play at the moment, so he has no right no fault them and should ironically respect the play they made.
Day 11 bump. Not counting same region matches.
I hope SEN plays well (regardless if they win or lose), better not be them having their life game against Gen.G and getting swept in playoffs.
That would be such a troll.
this makes it more valid now, elimination lower bracket would 100% have different regions against each other and that would certainly be more exciting, good point.
I just realised if Gen.G won they would go against DRX and it would be 4 regional matchups for the openings (now it’s 3 thanks to DRX v SEN)
Shouldn’t regional matchups be avoided as the first priority then followed by the same group thing?
Like the point of internationals is for teams to play with teams they don’t usually get to play against with? Idk man…
Thoughts?
If pearl, fracture, split, breeze are back, who really knows 🤷♂️

———————
It was fun while it lasted o7.
holyy i hope both teams keep it up for the rest of the maps
Day 7 bump. Most boring day so far, clean sweep for both games, very one-sided.
Comp against TH vs. against SEN:
-Autumn (Viper to Chamber)
-Berlin (Astral to Breach)
-Life (Raze to Viper)
-AAAAY (Gekko no change)
-Lysoar (Omen no change)
switching their triple controller comp that worked well (FPX 13-15 TH) to playing chamber that becomes useless if he can’t opening kills + making life goes from raze to viper?
what is this overcook? meanwhile SEN finally dropped deadlock and it’s working.
shall see for def side for fpx now.
(I already knew but)
Instead of praising TE and their players more, people are shitting on aspas and america, and it’s not even CN people talking shit, but emea & americas themselves…
I’m so done with this region ego nonsense when I just want to watch some good teams/valorant. I’m outta here.
Well played and congrats trace btw, that was an entertaining and masterful gameplay.
I said it, this will be the meta comp for the rest of the teams to follow (I know JDG ran it first and Trace said that if you can’t beat them, join them).
The map wouldn’t even be this close if not for aspas’ entries.
trace about to do it again on bind, this time against a more reputable team, LEV.
not sure about trace’s map pool depth, but bind is one of their strong map
Pretty sure most SEA countries plays on singapore server / mumbai server (for indians), don’t really have language barrier tbh, everyone comms in english, the real issue here is you get the most no-comms here (even in higher elo/immortal lobbies).
Not sure about tokyo but it should be the same as korea server with some language barrier, they speak basic english.
Hong Kong server can speak english, but i’d say it’s more toxic (from my experience), people will insult you in chinese or cantonese sometimes becuz they assume u dun understand.
Game plan aside (deadlock caters to passive playstyle for them which isn’t working), I’d say probably weak mental—like burnout/constantly affected by external issues/clout etc and just not having the right head space. Probably also not as hungry anymore after winning madrid, don’t look like they have the champion hunger or drive to stay on top.
I want to watch trace’s deadlock on bind again, hopefully we get it and can also see how well LEV will anti-strat against it, that would be fun.
FPX honestly deserve a chance in the playoffs, this team really only played against grand-finalists/masters winners the whole year for internationals (except FUT) and always losing by 1-2 (with 1 map being OT losses).
TH, GenG and FPX looks good and they should all be in the playoffs at least 😭 sucks that only 2 can make it.
Truly unfortunate…
PRX needs to starts cooking strats seriously and throw away the thought that “they can win as long as they don’t throw games/advantages” becuz that’s not a winner’s mentality with other teams constantly improving.
Focus on actually trying to win the games with better comps & creative strats instead of worrying of how not to throw or to “balance their wgaming”, becuz this should all come naturally by now as seasoned players.
Get back to their old drive for innovation, becuz being stagnant without anything new won’t win them games against strong teams.
their competitive mental is not in the right place now, instead of focusing on strats and how to win games, they are now more focused and worried about “throwing games/advantages” which is just not a winner’s mentality. and their innovation/comps have completely stagnant with no new changes, basically they are shit now (g2 played extremely well too so props to them).
horrible and most disappointing match in champions 2024 so far, it was so boring how they just got swept.
Alfajer: “I remember them eliminating us in Istanbul and it was my home country, so I was waiting for this moment actually.”
“I’m gonna beat them in their home country.”
Banger match and storyline coming up 🗣️🗣️
Team Vitality vs. Trace Esports
“Too ez for EU, facing the weakest region“
yeah sure mark your words lmfao
what are you on?
LEV could’ve lost a map without him yesterday, he’s honestly an impactful player despite how ratty/irksome his playstyle can be
If i’m not wrong G2 has one of the highest pistol round win rates tbf
quite true, but at least theres some sort of stakes to make it more entertaining
jinx is such a childish concept who cares actually tbh, if they lose it’s just skill issue
nvm i took the effort to find the vod for you
(04:49:30) onwards
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2213694899?t=04h49m30s
they betted it during the FNC vs BLG watchparty, theres probably clip somewhere but im too lazy to search for it.
i have no reason to lie lol.
have $1500 on the line for G2 vs PRX game today
FNS bet PRX wins
ardiis bet G2 wins
today should be fun, hopefully there’s no clean sweep and it will go to OT every map.
has the the hardest ranked lobbies/most toxic in valorant (this was from their duo yesterday)
https://youtu.be/-YJXAgDJnIM?si=PLZgwN1E_IX7_hWJ
i think aspas’ bad experience in NA lobbies probably have to be due to the people figuring out hes aspas and trashtalking him no?
i thought the mainstream opinion was apac/eu servers being more toxic in general
“people always play the assume game and they assume that someone is worse than someone else, which is not true.”
“I just want to start off by saying that first of all it's not an upset, I just think that they're a pretty good team.”

Day 3 bump. TE ran deadlock so well on bind, wp.
