What would be your ideal Berlin finals matchup?

For me it would have to be Sentinels vs Acend for the sheer hype and viewership, though I’d also like to see VS make the final

Means that they are an IGL
Not sure why most are missing the star, maybe vlr just hasn't gotten around to it or they aren't sure who the IGL is (steel and nitr0 both call shots for example, although steel is the team's 'IGL')

If u want to know who the IGL of a team is, just go to Liquipedia. The names with crowns next to them are the IGLs there

Damn, do you know why he chose to play with them instead?

True, but it will be exciting to watch whether teams like Vivo Keyd and Gambit can continue their hot streaks

I’m predicting that we’ll see at least one EMEA win day 1

Probably announced later today since I doubt they’d announce it only a day before the event

Someone should try to get to 4 stars purely off of ratios

Just wondering, why is Ninim playing for dire wolves instead of wildcard?

Team Secret incoming?

They should pull a Guild and do
-thief +thief

:(

Bruh, did you see Lakia/k1ngs welcome to EU?

I agree with most of the list but Zunba/Mako > Marved imo

Mako beats him mechanically
Zunba beats him in utility usage

I agree that stax is definitely the most mechanically talented out of them
Other than that, ur underrating Mako and k1ng while overrating buzz a bit

FPX will be Top 1 in EU once soniqs can crack the top 4 in NA

Being pro players, they sadly should be used to this kind off toxicity

Kinda sad what people devolve to by playing ranked tho

Amount of GGs:
Envy: 4
F4Q: 3

This means that Envy must have won because the winning team always says GG more

Nah, he'd be better as F4Q xqcL

With this level of comedy, he could become a famous content creator in no time

based

People all over the world will be toxic on the internet, everyone is taking this way out proportion

Just wondering though, out of all the regions, why is it that so many Europeans hate the KR teams? I've seen a lot of them just praying on their downfall

Which 3 teams do you think will be the best at Berlin?

Mine:
1) Sentinels
2) Acend
3) 100 Thieves

Riot doesn't know European geography apparently :/

Vikings had mixed scrim results, people just think they were insane since they went 1-1 against Liquid and SEN

Some of their scrims had to be bad enough for them to start to doubt the BR meta, since they said they didn't have enough time to fix their playstyle in an interview before Reykjavik

Personally, I preferred the old one since it built more hype for Day 2
But smart move from Riot I guess, since now the 4 most popular regions all play on the opening day

Especially Split, the tactics used were insane from both teams

Just give me a singularity 2.0 with an actually good knife

1) Writing an article on them isn't "overrating" a team
2) Who knows if VS are actually overrated, we haven't seen them play yet
3) Even if VS suck, there is no doubting the fact that many of the top teams from NA/EU have adapted their comps and strategies into their own game

lmao, mb, any Jcstani is better then the one that showed up to that TSM match

Would be hype but realistically is prolly too much work
Really like the idea of each team getting a gunbuddy and card though

Idk man, I personally couldn't imagine this team cracking the current top 10
It reminds me a lot of the old Andbox, with maybe even a little less firepower:

yay >> jmoh
Thwifo > stellar
Jcstani = Jcstani
mada < thief
Vice = fiziq

Who knows tho

He wouldn't be complaining if Riot had supplied support puppies:

Nah, there's too much time in between for that team to fall off and there would be no reason for them to compete in qualifiers for said event

Riot should just give the winning team's region +1 slot for the next major

Lmao, the "I don't know if 3 hours is enough for three matches" actually made me laugh

My favorite legit player

Idc who makes the content, I just want the clip channels to stop giving me community polls in my recommended

SEN are lucky that they don't have a 102 winstreak on the line
If they did, we'd be seeing a entirely different F4Q show up this match

Let's go bunny! ⌒( •ㅅ• )⌒
Two of the best Razes in the world facing off this match

Here's a guess, could be completely wrong tho:
Valorant started to become more mainstream in Japan after Reykjavik and got a massive spike in players
Absolute Jupiter (Zeta) started to get actual competition from CR, which eventually turned into a rivalry
Northeption, with Seoldam, started to bring in more fans in Stage 2 and 3 and attracted fans from other regions as well
More large content creation streamers started to co-stream the main events, such as StylishNoob
Another popular player, something, started to play in Stage 3 which brought in even more fans

People also forget that G2 beat Giants which Fnatic weren't able to do

I assumed there had to be something off, since the EMEA numbers did seem low
Just wondering though, would that mean that the JP numbers are wrong to, since Stylishnoob's co-stream was getting like +80k viewers?

curry, his aim always impresses me

True
EMEA viewership is bad right now and is hard carried by the turks

I feel like a lot of people forget how popular valorant is in JP right now

Not sure if these stats are true, but according to Liquipedia, the stage 3 JP playoffs actually had a higher amount of average viewers and peak viewers then EMEA

Not atm
G2 have bested them twice now, with both their wins being close 2-0's
G2 were also able to beat Giants while Fnatic weren't

1) V1 vs Liquid - Reykjavik
2) SEN vs TSM - FaZe Clan Invitational
3) ACE vs Heretics - EU Stage 1
4) F4Q vs VS - KR Stage 2
5) NV vs SEN - Stage 1

Only did EU cause it's hard to estimate how good some TR/CIS teams are

F4Q, cause they are fun to watch and don't have toxic fans

Proportional to the regions population, TR fanbase is > then NA fanbase
When you look at just the viewcount numbers though, NA fanbase > TR fanbase

Also EU barely gets any views because CS is still a thing

More games to watch Bunny play is a W for me regardless
