I haven’t watched any MIBR games since Zekken has joined, how come MIBR which on paper is so insane is now losing out so much and how is Zekken underperforming (to his standards). He’s one of my fav players and was one of the best and most consistent players his entire time on Sen wtf happened 💔

my king

GenG 2-1 G2

SEN 2-0 FNC

He has health issues so he hasn’t played in a while :( He’s still really good and hopefully will recover and start dominating again

TH 2-0 Wolves
I think we’re gonna see the normal TH we always expect, super strong and title (2nd place) contenders. I think after the PRX game they’ll wake up and lock the fuck in , it’s kinda sad seeing Wolves have to deal with it they’re very cool as a team

TL 2-0 MIBR
I think it’ll be a close game thanks to heroics from MIBR as well as TL being a bit sloppy cause Nats just got to Canada, so they might not be hot. I love the MIBR roster but they looked kind of flat and the full TL roster looked so disgustingly looked coming into Masters with Nats

you're a loser

its been a few rounds lets chill out

Yeah would be my normal guess I just feel like Wolves is gonna start really hot and win map 1, and then Sen claw back the next 2 maps

Sen 2-1 Wolves
GENG 2-0 MIBR (One map goes OT)

nats disrespect is crazy 💔

Has there ever been a tourney where there was not a single upset at all? The favorites won every game

Isn't Toronto production kinda insane so far? I haven't watched much, but mid replay they transitioned Serial's kill and it looked like he got both in the same motion but there was like a 40 second gap in between, such a smooth transition

A retired TenZ btw

what is this take 😭

Jemkin, hasn’t proven on international stage
Rarga, also too early to call, we haven’t seen him in an international
Jingg, no
Derke, i mean sure but he’s not even qualified to Toronto so it’s not really valid
Jawgemo, understandable but overall as a duelist and player Zekken clears imo
Kaajak , no.
You named multiple players who haven’t ever made internationals instead of stating actual arguments like Aspas lol

I just checked HLTV and some players have thousands of MAPS played. Not rounds, but maps. I understand CS is a much older game and the esports scene is much more active (more games and tournaments), so comparatively, how many maps do the most present Valorant pros have. Is it somewhere in the low hundreds?

inarguably top 5 duelist in the world but ok

I’d consider it the same as Masters, maybe slightly less. The prize pool is super large but I don’t think it can carry the same prestige as Champions which is Riots version of the ultimate trophy

how’d they fall off hard the roster just changed

Zekken HAS to be in the best in the world conversation , he’s easily up there in the top 5 easily

I LOVE YOU TMV MY BEAUTIFUL GLORIOUS KING

SEN 100T and KRU all convincingly beat NRG

ur such a loser

this is the same EG that would rail teams from other regions too

idk about 1st seed but they’ll definitely do well i hope

Vitality 2-1 FNATIC
KOI 0-2 KC

EG 1-2 SEN
13-9 / 5/13 14/16

100T 2-0 LOUD
13-11 / 13-9

i open the stream and 3 seconds later zekken aces this guy can’t be real

u have to be so miserable spending your time hating on a team while they just won one of the most prestigious trophies in all of Valorant

i just woke up and still dont know which team id prefer to win, G2 for Americas, or T1 for how likeable they are. Is anyone else from Americas supporting T1 over G2 cause of the Buzz and Stax DRX duo 😭

wait i’m a bit lost what’s bad about flor isn’t she a really good duelist?

No even if I’m awake it’s really hard to watch games so early when I have work and uni to worry about, I’ve only watched one series properly for SEN and even that was while heavily distracted. The timings are awful I haven’t watched a full tourney since Madrid and half of Champs

Genuinely so clear of every other team in the world right now it’s not even funny 😭 It’s painful as a SEN fan that it’ll be very hard for us to be the best in Americas (NRG sadly 💔). I pray by Champs every team is peaking like this, it’ll be so fun to watch

yeah im looking forward to seeing freeing play this masters ive seen a lot of hype and from the videos ive watched, hes cracked

i havent really watched any region other than americas, so I'm really curious as to how the other regions are. for example seeing carpe in t1, a team that's doing really well seems surprising to me because I never paid much mind to him. are there a lot of newer players turning up this season from the other regions? and what's the overall state (the common consensus I see is Americas > EMEA > CN > Pacific)

What does this even mean 😭

I think they mean regional trophy

im gonna kiss u

He is the present and future of the game oh my god he's INSANE

the world is a bit crazy but yeah his calls are soooo insane

cry more? i’m literally a sen fan and js curious as to what’s happening cause i cant watch the game jackass

i’m so glad they’re winning i can’t watch the game but by the scorecard they’re destroying g2 . is it js someone’s life game or true ourplwy

calling the game before 2nd half even starts is so ridiculous people here are too eager to talk shit.

literally, it's not even been one half the game is not over lmao

i can see this, he’s not and while playing ranked but in matches sprays all his fights. but he’s been a pro for so long confidence issues should be something he has already tackled right? especially when he’s played in finals for champs and finals, what’s a silly group stage match to him

if FNS genuinely aimtrained till stage 1, would he be a stronger player? or is the difference between him and the rest of the pros not reachable in such a short period of time. i love fns hes my fav player and a phenomenal caller, but his aim holds him back sm i hope he fixes it

It’s just the first masters, the season just began and it’d be unusual for valorant to start with a 12 team tournament

idc what people say about the level of play, i just tuned into a random game at 5am and they’re going DEEP into overtime and it’s so fun and exciting to watch, even if i don’t care too much for either team or player im super hyped

what if instead of nats it was gyat and instead of lurking he was twerking

It's unlikely, and SEN are the favourites because they have better performances and are (supposedly) the better team, but LOUD is LOUD and you can never count them out, definitely very possible that they get the win or at least make it extremely competitive.
