That was the old DK though and like 4 months ago, entirely new team now

You can't because it didn't happen. I think the dude meant that he thought DK could beat DRX, not that it actually happened, probably a language barrier issue or something

EMEA - Gambit
NA - C9
BR - VK right now, LOUD by the end of the Group Stage
LATAM - KRU
JP - Zeta Division
KR - DRX right now, DK by the end of the Group Stage
SEA - Paper Rex
SA - Enigma
OCE - Order

Yeah, you'd assume their org would've been announced already, especially due to the amount of publicity orgs get from the VCT

However, I think a deal had to go through, as Rise have not acknowledged their roster for some time now, showing that they are probably no longer contracted under them

When will it be announced? I thought they would at least do it before the Closed Qualifier

Kind of weird to see them still representing Rise, especially with the org not even acknowledging that they still own the team (like by tweeting schedules/updates)

Cryo is definitely better than Asuna on Jett, maybe not as a duelist in general, but definitely on Jett

LMAO, I thought they just looked similar but they are deadass the same

Valorant is my favorite moba game! Astra go brrrrr!

I know you didn't just call my boy s0m a no name...

XSET and C9

Wish they went with LD instead of LLL though, surely it would have looked better

That’s not how that works chief

At least your guys’ teams don’t have to play against Liquid

We all know how that turns out

Hopefully their boot camp can fix some of this, cause their synergy looks a little off right now imo

Will SEN ever win another tournament?

That’s how you pronounce it

Reykjavik
V1 vs Liquid
NU vs V1
SEN vs Fnatic (Rematch)

Berlin
100T vs Gambit
SEN vs G2 (Rematch)
100T vs ACE

Champions
Liquid vs SEN
KRU vs Gambit
ACE vs Gambit

I prefer NV’s jerseys and aesthetic in general, but at least NV matches will now get viewership, albeit now including a lot of clueless fans

Unlucky seeding. Bleed, Kingsmen, and shiba are all better than anyone in Groups C or D imo

L1nk

Better to lose here than in the Closed Qualifier

For people blaming it on solely on neT, you have to realize that The Guard is one of the most teamwork driven teams, so just because he didn’t perform the greatest doesn’t mean it was entirely his fault

I can’t stop getting the luxe knife and those damn Christmas exclusive skins

trent!!

Hopefully they win the DACH league, big fan of Al0rante

MOUZ, Leviatan, ESC, DetonatioN, and Jadeite all need flairs

Ez for Bonkars

Please also add an ESC and DetonatioN flair too

That's a common Potter W

ZMM just their counter I guess

I know Andersin wasn’t performing well on Sova, but I really think they should’ve kept him as a smokes player

Definitely used to be an underrated Omen and a pretty good Astra player as well

Jadeite could’ve been so good but they picked up a bunch of random T2 players

For now I’m choosing to invest in Sengoku, DetonatioN, and Blue Bees

Definitely, I just kind of forgot about how good he was with the awp since I didn't see him use it very much in Champions

ScreaM and Jamppi double awp could slap

Chamber gives really good Twitter clips, very good agent for content creation

LG whiffed a lot this map, SQ definitely deserved that comeback

This one actually is possible ;)
(if matches before Stage 3 are allowed)

“because they were only defeating sea / japan teams”
Beating SEA teams is something SA couldn’t do.

“we won’t be seeing sa teams in masted atleast in 2022 because they have to fight against sea teams”
Didn’t you just say that beating SEA teams wasn’t a big deal? Whether it’s an accomplishment or not, you just contradicted yourself.

KR has performed better internationally against SEA teams than SA. DRX have been pretty much untouchable in Asia for nearly two years now, only recently facing competition from SEA and the rest of KR. Lastly, just from watching DRX and DK play, I think it’s safe to assume that those two teams’ level of play is above that of EG/GE/VLT, though you are entitled to your own opinion I guess.

High chance we don’t even see SA and KR play each other at all in 2022 anyways, so no point in even arguing tbh.

I’ve got no clue, the match literally happened over 3 months ago as well so it doesn’t even matter anymore. Both scenes have changed since then

Putting ping / prep aside, DK always start tournaments slow and begin to heat up the more matches they play.
So my take is that GE won fair and square, fluke or not, but the DK that GE beat was not on the same level as the one that beat PRX (with DK having a higher skill ceiling because of this)

None of this even matters though, as DK have a new roster and GE are choosing friendships over W's xD

Who needs sleep schedules :p

100%. They just couldn't seem to find a solution to Jeong Hi and t3xture's utility combos

Bazzi flanking every round got predictable as well

DK's T side utility usage is beautiful

BuZz farming

!bet DWG,70

Only player I recognized was ParkJJong, cause he was a pretty good smoke player for Quantum Strikers
