KR > JP
LATAM > BR
EU > NA

Balance has been restored to the universe

I doubt it. DRX and FPX are both competent teams and XIA is a strong underdog. Group A is definitely better, but it's a stretch to say that they're all better. People were saying the same thing last event.
*Also this match is super sloppy, teams like FPX/DRX take advantage of these kinds of mistakes

I don’t agree with people making those threads about TenZ, but yay gets a lot more leeway because he is a lot more consistent

Regigigas?

This guy is just not worth your time

LMAO, you only now realize the format is shit now that LOUD no longer benefit from it. At least you guys got a chance at a bye while KR/JP has to grind through groups in every event, despite both regions beating PRX

Match 1: KR > JP
Match 2: LATAM > BR
Match 3: EMEA ? NA

Balance is being restored to the universe after what happened in Reykjavik

He's now a bulldog demon

I forgot how fucking good he was at this game

That’s genuinely a good question, since DRX revealed basically their entire Icebox throughout the group stage, a map they than barely lost twice in playoffs. So maybe not win, but they would’ve at least been in the upper finals

Nice, go get an autograph from BuZz for me :D

25%

PSJ, Secret, Talon, Nigma, XIA, Bleed, and Mith are all capable of paying 50k salaries too

You’re right but it’s more to do with population not countries.

LATAM

Who are most of these people? I miss the OGs

There’s a fine line between losing stars and getting banned

Well the bar is set highest for Fnatic, OpTic, Loud, and Paper Rex, so probably one of those four. Everyone else is kind of a dark horse.

If S8UL don’t enter Valorant, this is probably the only chance at franchising for SA

Nah bro, Copenhagen is still better cause the NA LCQ hype is only going to last for a max of four maps

Now that most the teams are finalized, what LCQ are you most excited for? For me:

1. NA
2. APAC North
3. EMEA
4. APAC South
5. South America

Replace Kanpeki and Dapr with tarik and Hiko and you have the ultimate stream team

🦊

That’s what I thought he meant too

I'd guess that the DACH team gets a bye since Fokus won the last VRL, if they are still using the same format

Their parent company runs NSG, they’ve been invested since day one, have strong connections to Riot through the LCK, have good financials, and a pretty big fanbase

I’d replace FaZe with T1

Isn't this a good sign though? We already knew they had terrible mental, but the point of the video is to let it all loose so that they can just think about winning and put their losses behind them. They seem hungrier then ever before to win too.

Odds of your hot takes coming true imo, highest to lowest:

1. PRX lower bracket run
2. XSET places higher than OpTic
3. XERXIA performs
4. LOUD will be grouped
5. DRX will get grouped by xerxia
6. LEVIATHAN will go on a dream run like kru in champs
7. FPX TOP 3 even with subs

You're right, that's kind of a weird situation for a game to potentially be a pointless match for one team and a qualifying match for the other

Sylvan is smokes player who often top frags, he's just a bit worse than MaKo and definitely deserves a better team
Harry is a decent sentinel player who has played for T1 and TNL

1. DRX
2. NTH
3. PRX

That's what you guys said last time as you watched Liquid and G2 get shit on by Zeta and PRX

<3

when will this forum learn? they arent good
they always destroy their region and always look the best they have ever looked but its not true, the get the wins against dogshit teams but they still havent fixed whats fundamentally wrong with their playstyle

REMEMBER PLATINUM DOGS FROM VLR, WINNING IN YOUR SHITTY TIER5 REGION IS NOT LOOKING GOOD, IF EVERY1 IS BAD AND NO1 IS GIVING YOU A CHALLENGE YOU CANT SAY A TEAM LOOKS GOOD, DOMINATING IN APAC/BRAZIL/LATAM IS EASY, YOU DONT LOOK GOOD FOR IT, ITS THE BARE MINIMUN IF YOU EVEN WANT A CHANCE TO COMPETE WITH EMEA/NA TEAMS

There are a few more like him, mostly the toxic Singaporean users and the die hard PRX fans

Not even the most deranged post I’ve seen yet, DRX live rent free in quite a few EMEA/APAC fans heads

CN teams are getting overhyped right now by people who have never watched the scene, it’ll be like OCE or SA in APAC. They have phenomenal players but no team play at all and continue to use incredibly outdated strats. Players like whz look insane since they get away with anything on CN, but struggle when they actually face a team that knows how to trade, like EDG or KONE.
EDG can probably beat a weaker KR/JP team but would have to get incredibly lucky to beat Northeption, Damwon, or On Sla2ers (if they come back to form). I’d like to be wrong and see EDG demolish some teams, but don’t get your hopes up.

This match decides the 2nd CN slot, good luck to both teams

Lowel hasn't even come close to touching tier 1 Valorant for over a year

Yeah, I expected him to perform better on DK

Zeta, I would rather see them in Copenhagen then KRU

XIA over DRX is copium

Jinggg >>>>>

Who’s he going to replace? Esperanza?

Northeption

Definitely!

There are still 309 mass shootings in just half a year. I doubt many suicides, accidental discharges, or self defense cases fall under that category. 309 is still a worrying number.

The US is much worse than any developed nation when it comes to gun violence, the percentages are closer to that of a third world country
Here’s an article comparing them to other developed countries: https://www.healthdata.org/acting-data/gun-violence-united-states-outlier

Gun violence. 309 instances, many at schools, and you still have politicians trying to blame the number of doors
