Think there's a misconception.

As of now, we don't know which or what region gets a direct slot to the Group Stage or the Play-ins. The only, and I mean only reason VLR knew about the PH seedings is because of the detail listed beside the prize pool in their rulebook. Other regions have not yet specified these seedings other than PH. So please, rather than dogpiling and berating each other, just be civil. Is it hard to do?

Flaring and FirstLove are listed as subs

Nope. Every match matters. Throw a match? Seen what happened in VCC? Even seeding matches matter. It'll be the difference between qualifying for Champions or LCQ (See Team Secret)

In terms of talent or... what? Because in terms of talent, I don't know if it's comparable? All of these guys are CS veterans.

Just woke up. It didn't register

Yes, that means it was already the plan either way. Whether or not it's a LAN, that we don't know.

It's... not yet finalized. We just find out that PH has those stipulations because it was written in the rulebook. We don't know for the other regions. Please do not speculate other than that.

It's not LAN. No indications of LAN yet. Most likely it's a bootcamp situation with BONKERS going to Thailand. From what I heard from other sources as well.

Need to wait for the schedule because the battlefy doesn't provide any timings

most likely a bootcamp situation, but I'm unsure

TH = ID = PH > MY/SG > OCE > SA > HK/TW > VN

Some stipulations:

• XERXIA has returned. Full Sense has as well. But what about the rest of the TH teams? Time will tell.
• ID won most of the off-season interregional tournaments. EPULZE, TEC, SEAC... I think there'll at least be one ID team in the Top 5, if they're not qualified for Masters. The top teams of AE, BOOM, and ONIC still reign supreme. But with teams like BOY WITH LOVE, BEAST, Ethereal, BTR, DEWA, and others? It's gotten interesting.
• PH is undergoing a change of guards. NAOS and APH showed why they were the offseason darlings for the Philippines. But Oasis lurks in the background. And SBE is ready to pounce at any moment. Beware.
• Please BLEED, if you want people to talk to yall, don't lose to Fastelle. PRX still reigns supreme. One team. That is all.
• I have faith in Bonkers just because of the fact that they study some of the SEA/SA strats and they do scrim with them. GO BONKERS
• GE, Enigma, Velocity, Exploit. Still the same strong 4 teams, but how will they perform interregionally? Their offseason endeavours didn't go exactly as planned.
• HK/TW has no stability. At all. I swear. Is it just me or what?
• VN only has Cerberus, maybe BAAM. The rest is a bloodbath.

I think he meant it in its entirety. But I do agree with cheaterr. Right now, interregional rankings favour ID more because of their wins in TEC tournaments and SEAC.

Yep, it is

The game is continuing from 9-3. A round has been rollbacked.

X10CRIT has been disqualified from the VCT 2022: Thailand Stage 1 Challengers for violating unauthorized communication rules during the match against XERXIA in the Quarterfinals.

A thorough examination of the evidence revealed that the X10CRIT had actually committed a crime. No communication between players and coaches during matches is prohibited other than tactical and technical pauses.

Related Contest Rules
X10CRIT is in breach of Rule 7.2.11 of VALORANT Global Rules and will be forfeited in the February 24, 2022 match against XERXIA.

It's not cypher cam. It's Help Sewers but SEA.

well no, but we'll add it on our own discretion. TOE has been added for a while, nobody just noticed.

sadly they died so f

check your flair settings.

Ok thank you

it's basically a reunion of ex-NXL Ligagame. It's the battle of the exes LMAO

Yep, it is pronounced as Slayers as Paperthin described it

Sorry fellas! Pickems will most likely be up either late tonight or tomorrow. I'm just waiting for schedules for most of the regions (excluding TH), so I can be sure what's what with the entire stage.

whz go kill

Think he properly retired.

you're good, it's just the roster auto-added the rest, f

They did. It ruined OCE.

Nope, this is a legitimate division of FPX. I believe that this is practically their Chinese academy team?

Yep, it is.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-EYPj7NCFnkiOJiXbyE1YA this is FMWH's channel! There's a VOD of their latest tourney 5 months ago. Their playstyle is so aggressive and wholeheartedly different than some would expect!

Sudanese =/= Sundanese! Sundanese (Basa Sunda) is a local language to the western region of Java, spoken by the Sundanese people. I picked up some key phrases and sentences during my time there as a uni student.

Indonesian, English, conversational Filipino + Tagalog, conversational Sundanese

soon

dude this is a joke, why is the match continuing with Sova literally DC'D AT SPAWN

From what I know those two teams are basically qualifier teams @hiyo

He might be right. There's still a chance it's just to minimise ping disadvantage.

Bonkers flair is up.

TL;DR: Either has to win. OAS needs to win so APH could go playoffs, BRN needs to win so that they can go to playoffs. 2-0, 2-1, doesn't matter. They need to win.

BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK

Nope. A 2-0 win against APH tomorrow and a Bren loss means they're through.
