imo, pro players should talk more shit, get some international rivalries in the game other than the same NA vs EMEA shit. I like that BCJ was saying he's the best initiator in the world and directly calling out stax, it builds better narratives and it's a lot more organic bc it's coming from the players themselves and not some 3rd party analyst desk

ouch not anymore

ratio

I have a feeling that ppl are gonna shit on APAC bc Xerxia went out in last despite them playing 2 incredibly close series

how many OTs have we had already

I think we're all nobody right now

trexx is one of the players in EMEA

What I'm saying is that Raze takes the initial space by herself, and then that gives far more room for the second entries to utilize than any normal combination of utility would be able to

nah bro I think Sanri-O's got this one

at least silvers understand what an entry is, this is literal iron tier commentary from him

you are carving an entire portion of the map by yourself that usually would have taken about 3-4 agents to take with their own abilities, you clearly don't understand how entrying works

it takes so much space for free, probably one of the best entry ults in the game, also can be used for delay on post-plants and even to delay pushes on defense, if you utilize it correctly then it's one of the best in the game

Azzlack is going to get the perfect pick em watch

G2 in general right now is in the mud, went out in groups in Cologne and now watching their former team members fuck shit up in Copenhagen

the dedication is insane, I can't even imagine how many VODs he's watched

he isn't just a stats nerd who nuts over a players ACS or sum, he actually puts things into perspective and is able to appreciate a player's impact outside of numbers

Sliggy doesn't have nearly as many spreadsheets as TMV does tho

valorant fans see a team lose and call for the org to drop the roster lol it's ridiculous

honestly, this costream is one of my favorites if I'm willing to think about the game, his stats are very informative and he has a very good understanding of the game. If I just want to see flashly lights moving across my screen tho I'm gonna turn on Tarik or sum

how are they supposed to do that if they are getting wiped in the Knights Weeklies against T3 NA

I thought Seider was already planned as a sub a while ago, he's still a sub but it's not like they just barely picked him up yesterday off the street to play

vlr users stop having petty beef over a video game challenge (impossible)

why tf is regional fandom a thing, it's honestly the dumbest shit of all time. The only regions I give an excuse for that are JP, KR, and LATAM bc they have smaller scenes than the rest of the field, but for all the regions that send multiple teams why tf are you cheering for one of your regional rivals.

FPX with suygetsu is a dark horse contender

I didn't wake up in time for that match

every single match has given me a heart attack and made me age 40 years I love this tournament already

that's real Valorant right there, not this mickey mouse gameplay from Fraudtic and Fraud Plus Phoenix

before the tourney I would have thought the group b pickems was the one I would fuck up on the most

Optic and Loud are probably currently the most VOD reviewed teams in the world as the Reykjavik top finishers, makes sense ppl would be ready for them and be able to counter them

KRU looked flat to me (and most other people) after than GF against Leviatan in LATAM playoffs

I actually have the script right now, I'm reading a FNATIC 8th place finish and a PRX vs Guild Grand Final

I have more trust in Loud than I do in Optic, FNS outfragging your entry and your star AWPer is a bad sign for them

well of course with hindsight you can say it was a bad list, but I don't think many people would have taken KRU over LOUD with how hot LOUD was in BR playoffs and how flat KRU looked against LEV, and taking Optic over Guild was kinda seen as common logic considering Optic are the defending masters champs and Guild got 0-2'd by FNATIC and then 0-3'd by FPX

KRU only is good when we write them off, maybe for champs we should say they're going to get 13-0'd every map and they'll be the first LATAM winner

SEN has as much of a chance of winning champions as I do of being signed to a valorant team

I just didn't think that Loud would come into an international event sleeping, I was tentative on the Optic pick because I know that they sometimes start of really slow, but Loud were coming in hot as hell sweeping their region

plat chat uses the word power ranking in the complete incorrect way just so you know, this list was basically a list of where they thought the teams would finish and not actually who was the best

I don't think anybody actually thought that either KRU or Guild were making it out of groups

lmao u rlly predded northeption over DRX

Optic's fault for losing in the NA challengers grand finals maybe if they won we wouldn't be in this situation

no problem with this format, Loud and Optic should have just won if they were really better

went 1 for 3 in pickems guys wtf is going on

Loud 2-1 Optic

sorry NA bros but Optic isn't looking too hot for me rn

LOUD VS OPTIC IN AN ELIMINATION GROUP STAGE GAME LMAOOOOOO

BRO ITS ONLY MAP 2 WE STILL COULD GET A WHOLE ASS 3RD MAP

PRX vs DRX deep in the tournament is something like the upper/lower finals or even in the grand finals would be a massive boost for the Korea and APAC scene, but personally I think if XERXIA can make a deep run in playoffs that will show that APAC is not only a one team region and would get more support from countries like Thailand

if mwzera was there he would be Radiant #1 in a day

give us SEN Tarik already

imagine the clout if SEN vs 100T is their opening match for LCQ

that shit had me fooled until I looked at Stewie's twitter and he still had all his EG shit up
