I have seen 3-4 genuine xset fans so far .

The others are NA fans who were not even remotely supporting xset before yesterday. Some others are just fpx / EMEA haters .

Remember these people will go back to shit on xset if they lose in playoffs like they did in Copenhagen. I wish the best for xset , they were severely underestimated by almost everyone.

Your comprehension is so bad . Are you drunk? Seriously.

I told it's a MINOR FACTOR because i didn't know keznidt was sick . And i accepted that it's IRRELEVANT to consider that kru loss . Are you trolling?

" But kru has an actual chance "

Bro can you stop talking and start reading? I already gave a Chance to kru in this . Read my first post LOL

EMEA is the best region even if they are not winning champions .

( Edit - EMEA will be the best region of all time if they are not winning this champions , thanks sheahhh )

Unless

2/3 NA makes top 2 in this champions and all of EMEA got grouped.

Because

EMEA 2 masters win ( best masters not iceLOLand )
NA 2 iceLOLand win

EMEA - 3 out 4 teams in top 4 of champions.

SO only NA can surpass if 2/3 na teams plays finals in this champions.

EMEA on top

Can you even read? I said it's a " minor factor" and i didn't know keznidt was sick before the optic match. Someone told me just now . It makes sense why kru lost that easily now .

So it's not relevant now .

Who are you talking to ?

https://www.vlr.gg/136649/why-fpx-lost

Said this yesterday itself. Xset were just better on that day with fpx's bad decision making.

Vs kru

Bind
Icebox
Haven

I predict a 2-0 in favour of fpx ( 70% )
I'm not overreacting all I'm trying to say is , we will get to see the best version of fpx vs kru .

Yep in last champions, almost a year ago . You should consider Copenhagen ( group stage performance)

GLD 2-0 optic ( kinda close )
KRU 2-1 loud ( kinda close )
Optic 2-1 loud ( super close )
Guild 2-1 kru ( super close)

Please have a look at this and finally the elimination match of kru vs optic

Optic vs kru 2-0 absolutely dominated by optic.

The explanation that makes sense - kru faced an elimination match against a solid team and they got dominated.

And as i said ALREADY.
This elimination factor is only minor - the maps are not in kru's favour . That's the main factor

aLL aRe tAlEntEd eNouGh tO wiN a tOurNaMent lmao what exactly is your point? All are top teams from their respective regions , they all can win if they play properly but i get it you're just mad that fpx 3-1 ed Optic and optic is yet to beat an EMEA team .

This guy is smart af

Yesterday's mistake, letting breeze remain instead of haven / icebox.

https://www.vlr.gg/136649/why-fpx-lost

Bruh didn't know pearl footages of fpx existed lol and fpx made a huge mistake of letting breeze remain instead of haven / icebox.

And
Fpx thought their comp or their breeze is good after beating a team ( prx who insta bans breeze mostly) which played a double duelist comp KEKW ( neon and yoru 💀 ) .
Prx was leading initially and fpx was made to believe that their attack is good in breeze BUT THE FACT IS prx comps in breeze is just good for attack.

It's one of those rare days yesterday where their thinking and macro failed . And xset played it well and capitalised .

If you let them in playoffs they will get top 3 easily no matter what because of the double elimination format. You're so wrong.

Didn't know why optic fans are so insecure lol . Anyone who watches vct knows optic is loud's kryptonite. That's NOT THE POINT HERE .

Kru 1-2 GUILD ( who beat optic)
This game is so close to kru beating guild ( not elimination matches)

But when kru faced optic they absolutely got destroyed ( elimination match )

That doesn't mean they should get owned by optic. It should have been a close game . Even boom was able to take a map off optic. Optic looks a lot better now than in Copenhagen.

If kru won in haven yesterday, i could have given more chances of kru 2-1 ing fpx . But they looked horrible in haven , fpx is not a bad haven team either , it's one of their good maps .

I'm not judging kru by only " the elimination match factor " here , understand that .

Kru in elimination matches are not that confident , they beat loud in Copenhagen and got absolutely owned by optic. Completely different game when elimination is near . That's why

Fpx bans breeze
Kru bans fracture

Fpx picks bind
Kru picks icebox

Fpx bans pearl
Kru bans ascent

Haven remains .

Fpx should 2-0 KRU ( 70% )
Fpx 2-1 kru ( 20% )
Kru 2-1 fpx ( 10% )

Even though kru looked bad on haven vs xerxia , going to 3rd is risky for fpx . Because they are good, not great like they are in ascent, bind , fracture or even icebox.

A very good duelist player for prx

We will find out in the match vs KRU .

They had less pressure in Copenhagen with no suygetsu in the beginning. With him they played a near perfect valorant and won the tournament.

Now they are starting with the full roster, pressure is on them because they are facing an elimination. The best of a team comes out in these situations. It's time for FPX to show what they are made of . Let's fucking go

Wasn't sliggy the coach during last year champions with nivera being a new player . He's not overrated , he could not find a better solution for the team in the new chamber era just like enghhh. I felt like moving scream from duelist to flex was the big problem .

In our current meta , chamber is almost needed and played in all the maps . Even though guild performed worse , sayf was owning in chamber.

So sayf - chamber, Jett
Nukkye - raze , neon

If they need Jett is a map sayf will be the Jett and nukkye will play flex .

It's more like who is comfortable in what agent . I didn't meant to say he's a strict duelist

Make EU great again.

Nukkye - entry duelist
Sayf - flex + chamber
Nats - sentinel
Leo - initiator
Redgar - controller ( IGL )

Coach - sliggy .

Edit

I didn't put enghhh as a coach because redgar being the IGL . They are going to make this team a m3c 2.0 that should not happen. They need something new if not sliggy then someone else who is good.

Gambit fell of because

1. Unnecessary Changes in roles -
   especially chronicle if stuck to playing initiator+ kj he would still be the best player IMO . This one change collapsed the roles entirely .

2. No changes in strats or map veto
   they became too predictable and enghhh didn't help by changing it or redgar didn't want to change??? Idk

   It's easy to say " deffo was the problem" but that was not the case in LCQ . They looked the same team i saw in last year champions but now other teams are improved and m3c is still the same except for being good on bind .

3. 2021 - team play , 2022 - multi kills and clutches.

In not qualifying? Sure

Faze vs SEN finals ? NVM . Pretty sure you trolled xset hard regionally and probably delusionally thought once faze > xset . Now you're an xset fan . W xset actually

NA fanbase is a joke man . You people were saying
" xset is just a top 4 NA , onliners etc " and now that they beat the Copenhagen winners , you're all fanboying them . Pathetic

NA think they are on top but now they have activated the cis curse . Last time when 100T , an NA team beat gambit, a CIS team , gambit won the tournament. So congratulations to fpx on winning the champions . The first team to win back to back major tournaments. COPIUM

Ah thanks, finally a knowledgeable person who understands my problem with that breeze pick over icebox

Yes xset are well prepared for Pearl no doubt. But Breeze is more of a fpx failure, they were not great in there , in fact fpx is better on haven and icebox than breeze.
It's just unbelievable that fpx banned icebox and invited breeze.
If xerxia are good to take 10 rounds off xset in icebox fpx can do better. See how easily kru beat xerxia on icebox. Kru and fpx are better in icebox than xset and xerxia .

Number of xset wins in LAN playoffs = number of braincells left in you .

You don't know about fpx clearly

Fracture - best team
Bind - 2nd only to optic
Ascent - best team along with Lev
Haven - good enough to beat xset
Icebox - good enough to beat xset
Breeze - confused because they don't have a solid strat here

Pearl - rubbish with that comp .

I'll make a post of fpx vs kru rematch

Yeah I didn't mention it because it will be sounding like a excuse. So i tried to give some valid reasons. This is a macro fail and they can and they will fix it . But i feel it's ridiculous to ban both haven and icebox ( fpx are as good as xset in these maps if not better ) i felt like they wanted to try their pearl comps NGL and it costed them big time .

Fpx vs leviathan. One will run through uppers and the other the lowers . Thank me later

TSM fan KEKW , bro at least ask them to touch international LAN stage once

1. Bad comps on Pearl and their comps in breeze is not ideal when you're starting in attack.
2. Overpeeks and over extension in decider map very unusual from fpx , maybe due to the overconfidence after dominant fracture.
3. Map selection - yes xset is good in haven and icebox but if you know about fpx they like playing these maps too , it's just ridiculous they invited pearl and breeze . Breeze could have been won regardless , if they went with attack heavy comps .
4. Xset played well

Hope doombros cooks some better counter strats for next game because KRU are a beast in breeze, icebox and now that fpx are not great in pearl it's scary for them to go against KRU who will insta ban fracture . EMEA down bad

1. Fpx
2. m3c
3. TL
4. Fnc

Only LAN

Yay plays the chamber so defensively , you see taco and ardiis they are so aggressive and it's fun to watch. And ardiis ain't a one trick pony

They should have put ardiis on chamber
Suygetsu on cypher
And angel should have played the viper .
All good, pearl experiment failed nothing much .

Shao owns you team

Please tell me you didn't watch champions

Do this : open vlr , matches, results. Check how many 2-0 matches are here . You're all just coping guys . It's okay to spread positivity here but you people underestimated boom , xerxia , furia and now you're all surprised when they were able to take a map off of other teams

S - fpx , Lev
A - drx , Optic
B - tl , prx , kru ,100T
C - fnc , Zeta , loud , edg , xset
D - furia
E - xerxia
F - boom

Only unbiased correct one here

Please tell me you're crying in your mom's lap like a little child now . Win or lose you should not be talking about their inconvenience in a tough time .

The fnatic fanbase is literally a joke . People need to see impact rather than ACS , KDA etc for real . It's high time valorant fans change their small brains

Yay is the best chamber ( oper ) here in valorant arguably?

But when i see highlights of KennyS and s1mple oping in valorant idk they both just look a different level . It definitely looks completely different in their hands . No wonder top valorant players are washed up CS pros .

Why is there so much difference? Is valorant an easy game ? Shroud comes out of nowhere and a unprepared sentinels almost beat 100T ( well prepared coached ) .

Pretty sure you're all quiet now .
Is furia good on this map or they just picked breeze thinking it's a usual fnc ban map ?
Teams picking opponents bans are taking BIG Ls . Edg bind pick another example KEKW

Please tell me this is a joke .
Laz - recency bias off of one match
Will - off 2 matches? And you're shamelessly putting shao at 3 ????

1. Shao
2. Suygetsu
3. Yay

EMEA stage 1 2022 , first match of gambit. Deffo should have played chamber here if not sheydos because he showed good OP skills even on sage . But they are putting chronicle and Nats who are usually the backline, these two are reasons why gambit was scary in 2021 .
And I'll ask the deffo blamers here , why couldn't gambit win the LCQ without deffo ?
Teams were reading them well , everyone saw gambit. That's why they should have moved away from their usual strats , map picks and bans but instead of doing that they changed player roles . They expect deffo to go in and get 3/4 kills everytime? That's not how valorant works, they moved away from team play to multi kill to win strat .

Still can't believe how gambit / m3c dropped a player like deffo . He clearly wasn't the problem, yes he's missing shots on online but so does everyone. Instead fixing Marco and putting more trust on him , they changed his role and ruined the team .
Derke on the other hand is nothing but a joke in LAN especially in the elimination matches . He's the most inconsistent player IMO his performance gap between online matches and LAN elimination matches is so huge . He's the best player in online, the worst in LAN elimination. Don't care if he drops a 30bomb next game he's a choker regardless

Never too early to let APAC fans know where their region stands now . Only hope is prx , I'm sorry to say but they didn't look good vs edg either.

Send APAC home

GGs group C is boring af . Wish leviathan and kru switched groups so all the groups would have become somewhat equal.

Zombs playing in champions? I can't see him
