Nom nom nom

Since OG partnered with LDN UTD to play in EMEA Challengers.
I thought their team in VRL: France would be forced to disband no?

I would assume for the same reason why Academy teams cant play in NA Challengers, correct me if Im wrong

guess

UB:
100T
V1

LB:
KNIGHTS
NYFU

I think its also because Valorant is such a new game. There won't be that many coaches nor would the wuality of them be good either.

So the better coaches price will just be crazy higher

Upper bracket to qualify, 4 games - 4 wins
From where Ghost stand they will need to win their next 6 games each getting progressively harder.
I dont think any team wants that LMAO

Tier 1 for sure....top Tier 1 is debatable

Oh im fucking dumb LMAO
Thanks :)

I thought the 3 remaining players of Rise (Poised, Shanks and Supamen) were reported to go to FaZe?

But I guess FaZe didnt pick them up?
Please inform me thanks

I feel like it has to do with the fact that teams have strats for Thrifty's. Usually really risky(either win or get absolutely shit on) so the gamble might pay off more

These guys have huge Anime buff. Big hopium to complete their journey :)

I mean they werent in the same bracket....just fell to it :(

Honestly EMEA is still better region. But them losing this masters imo is healthy for the game.

Less dominance in a game always makes each match fun af to watch

honestly I hope this is the case, much more fun to watch the draws live

Saving strats for Challengers 2 :^)

My guess could be that the winner of group gets the theoretical "easy" matchup in playoffs.
Likely not playing G2 and The Guard/PRX in the first round where the second qualified in the group will need to face them

Fpx should get 200 points since they would have gotten a by straight to top 8 playoffs

They better get at minimum points for being top 8 masters (even though they definitely would have gone further)

I feel like 100 hours for most games is a good benchmark

progress

Seems like Top 8 make it into playoffs (sadly probably single elim) with bottom 4 being out.

Likely 4 groups of 3 double round robin style?
Or do you think it could be 2 groups of 6 with single round robin style and top 3 making it out?

Personally 2 groups would be amazing (only downside is 2 EMEA teams in one of the groups

He smuggles beans, whatcha gonna do :^)

Analogies my friend. He is putting it in an easier way for you to understand better

Just a tad bit delusional

Are tomorrows game of TL/G2 and FNC/FPX both played at the same time? That's what I see on https://www.vlr.gg/event/854/champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers

Edit: Nvm it's been fixed

Positive KDA poggers

Tha makes FPX > TL > NAVI > FPX

Would the 3 way tiebreaker be determined on whether NAVI win 2-0 or 2-1?

Pretty sure its Aslan with an L

Of the 4 remaining matches NAVI must win both matches against FPX and M3C (due to tiebreaker vs TL)

WHILE M3C (GMB) must win their other 2 matches against BIG and LDN UTD

This is so so unlikely but technically possible. But TL should be good to make playoffs :)

Any knowledge of this? Will it be like EMEA where only bottom team from each group is relegated or BR where bottom 2 teams from each group are relegated.

IMO I feel like bottom 2 teams from each group should be relegated due to the large amount of NA teams with potential to make NA Challengers.

Becuase G2 has 3 wins while Accend has 2 wins 3head

If NRG win their next 2 games against both RISE and Knights, they qualify for 4th seed so this is a huge game

I'm not sure how NA/EMEA challengers playoffs is going to happen if 2 teams ends with the same score.
I heard it might be head to head but I saw this league
https://www.vlr.gg/event/895/fgc-valorant-invitational-2022-act-1/group-stage
which did a tiebreaker match straight up.

Idk if anyone knows what it actually is but it would be sick to have a tiebreaker match!

a

Are EMEA and NA Challengers playoff tiebreakers based on head to head or the +/-?

Chose C9 back in the Leagye of Legends days when C9 had the OG roster of
Balls, Meteos, Hai, Sneaky, and LemonNation

The org has continued to do well enough and not have any major controversies for me to hate them :)

Brimstone

Not to burst your bubble but EMEA placed top 2 at every Masters and Champions...

Why there are 2 SA LCQ but only 1 for EMEA?

What is RITO on?

Im pretty sure its been balanced for more recent standings, which in this case C9 made it further in Champs than both SEN and NV

1. 21
2. 9
3. Ascent
4. Astra
5. Yoru
6. Astra
7. No
8. Yes
9. Yes
10. SEN Zombs
11. G2 Hoody
12. Gambit, Liquid, SEN, Acend, C9, Guild, VS, NV, Fnatic, 100T
13. Cned, TenZ, Nats
14. Liquid
15. C9 (Copium)
16. Gambit
17. TB – 88 Rounds

So they can't participate in the same tourney only applies in official Riot tournaments. Reason being if they ever face each other, one time might throw for the other. Valorampage is done by a third party so they could participate as well.

man said spectre skin and you just compare vandal... noice

Could be your teammates MMR are high, or opponents is low

Common Poiz farm post

Big whiffs but nice W

oh shit I missed that, their team page hasn't updated yet

TSM Doesn't even have a full roster yet...

I mean it more depends on how much Acend pays him vs the competition offering.
If Acend doesn't pay him enough then yes he is looing to leave

Who hurt you buddy
