Sadge, the copium got to me

Havan Liberty looking insane
Guess something finally clicked with the team

Don't become a dev

Honestly happy about the win because we are one step closer to Xand getting a reality check in Berlin

3 Reasons Riot is supporting KR more then JP
1) Valorant is struggling to become popular in KR atm, while in Japan it is already popular and receiving lots of viewers

2) KR has had a history to be more competitive in esports then Japan, shown by league and owl

3) The KR scene is more popular with the English speaking communities because they have shown to be competitive in Iceland, along with the most popular player in the Japanese scene being Korean

Honestly I would have rather seen them test their luck on Icebox, rather then playing Haven again
100T always start too slow on Haven against SEN :/

Didn't watch the game, so I have to ask the question:
How has Furia gone from looking terrible in the Stage 3: Challengers 3, to taking down Sharks post EU bootcamp?

It's cause they didn't get 13-1'd by Liquid

They do, but CR, Zeta, and Reject have already locked down the top 3 positions for JP

pain. Unless Japan wins Berlin, Korean Jett is done for the year :(

Facts, the US should be more like Canada in that aspect

:<
Love the confidence though

If Oceania teams competed against SEA teams for a slot in Berlin, would they have a chance to qualify?

Personally I think the only teams that really could qualify for Berlin through SEA would be Order/Soniqs

3/8, some of them were too true for my liking

Seriously though, V1 may look like a small org, but they have a lot of money
Doubt they exit the scene anytime soon

Report: TSM buy out Version1, creating a 9 man roster, in order to compete in the LCQ

He is the MVP of the first international valorant Lan and went 19/2 in fk/fd
They're is a good chance someone like Cned is better, but atm, you can't backup that claim

bang? lmao

You gotta realize that just because a good player is receiving a lot of attention doesn't mean that they are overrated
TenZ is most likely the best player in NA atm and is receiving the amount of publicity he deserves

A player is only overrated if they are given too much attention compared to their results

Criminally Underrated: Andersin

Seems like 2022 potentially could be a big year for complexity in valorant
Thoughts?

Whatever they're paying him, double it

Thanks

12 pm and 1pm what time zone? Just wondering so I can convert

Decade age gap 0_0

Haven fs

Why would it be delayed?

For once I envy the people who can't watch the games live and instead watch have to highlights

I mean it's clear that a lot of turkish fans don't speak english and use a translator instead, making it hard for them to grasp the obvious joke
Not acceptable behavior, but the language barrier makes things harder ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SMB 1-0 FPX
"losing"

I'm honestly happy to see either one of these teams go to Berlin
Lets go Seoldam!

I think the team is in a weird position atm where xeppaa is the one who should get dropped but won't for his background with the others
Seems like Vanity will play smokes, Xeta will play sentinel, and Xeppaa will play sova, with mitch getting dropped

I prefer mitch over xeppaa but I doubt he'll stay on the team

Lost the 1v1 to a dc

It happened again in the SMB game

Feelsbadman
Round should be replayed

LMFAO, entire team disconnected

More realistic one:
Wardell, Subroza, Sinatraa, Thwifo, Andersin

TSM are the largest org in the world
Why wouldn't they think of a superteam?

True

Imagine this team:
-Wardell (Primary Duelist)
-Subroza (Skye)
-Thwifo (Sentinels & IGL)
-Andersin (Smokes)
-Sinatraa (Sova/Secondary Duelist)

Hoping an NA team wins Berlin so that TSM has a final chance

So what have we learned?

Wardell:
-Team depends too much on him getting first kills
-He himself depends too much on the operator even get a kill and ints a lot in pistol rounds
-Lack of flexibility (such as not playing Raze on bind) messes up the team comps

Bang:
-Solid young player that tends to not show up in actual important matches
-Maybe move him to an academy team to help quash his nerves?

Hazed:
-He's a decent sentinel and a good site anchor, but it is clear that he struggles with anchoring a site and IGLing
-Probably the next to go as the team looks for a real IGL

Subroza:
-Honestly one of the bright spots of this team, although his decision making is questionable at times
-A very good skye player that I think the team would benefit from keeping

Leviathan:
-Does TSM even keep him at this point, especially if Sinatraa is potentially on the market
-He's a good player, but I doubt he gets signed after this Rise series (maybe moved to the rumored academy team?)

TLDR; TSM should keep Subroza and Wardell (if he improves his flexibility) and look for new IGL
Bang and Leviathan should get moved to an academy team to help improve consistency

TSM never fails to disappoint :/

Get Subroza and Leviathan off the A site
They are 0/3 on even getting a single kill while holding it

Symbiosis

That's my guess cause there's also no way Rise would pick Haven over Bind

Rise have not lost split in Stage 3 yet, I'm worried for TSM

Also why pick such a contested map when Rise's normal perma ban was Breeze?

Guild vs Gambit will be close too

Are the picks displayed on the stream wrong?
There's no fcking way TSM picked Split against Rise while Breeze was still in the pool

Yep, Turkey and CIS definitely deserve a direct slot to Berlin
Should have taken a slot from Japan and made them:
-3 EU
-1 TR
-1 CIS
