G2 by far one of the best orgs in all of esports
there's no other way around it, Envy completely outplayed 100Thieves yesterday, they honestly looked like the best team in the world by far
Yeah man for real idk why teams are taking this champions qualifier seriously 🙄
Let him get the bag, he’s getting paid to basically be a part of the 100T bench, great deal for him and also 100T gets a solid backup in case anything ever comes up
This has been a dominant half for NV even when factoring in the fact that Haven is a t sided map
100T 2-0 Acend, 100T just looks so much better than Acend right now
can't wait to see 100T icebox again, been a while since I've seen Asuna on the rope
I've had to do that for school and my grades have been slowly dropping as Berlin keeps going lol
Idk bro, especially for the players that aren’t used to the big stage I’d say having some assurance that Sentinels actually can be beaten is very reassuring and can help them play better
I know this match between SEN and F4Q means nothing to the tournament anymore, but I feel psychologically this is pretty bad for Sentinels. Before, they’ve had this aura around them that they are the unbeatable giants of the valorant scene, but now after losing 2-0 to G2 and dropping a map to F4Q they seem more like a beatable team. This could be huge psychologically, especially for the side of the bracket their on since it’s almost all NA teams. The kind of mindset that I’m sure has been pounded into some NA players heads especially after being dominated time and time again is that SEN is unbeatable, and now that myth has kind of been shattered. What do y’all think?
Tf am I getting downfragged for, SMB was being hyped up as a potential finalist for Berlin but they got knocked out in groups and the only team they beat was a Paper Rex team that pushed them to map 3, if that isn’t a disappointment then what else is
Look at the other t1 cs pros that switched, Scream and Jamppi are disappointing on Liquid, Nitr0 is playing third fiddle to Asuna and Ethan, Ethan is playing second fiddle to Asuna, ska and auti are flailing on T1. Success in cs doesn’t guarantee success in valorant
SMB was a huge disappointment, hope they can figure out what the problem was before EU lcq
I think y’all are overrating VS just a little bit right now
https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/19aa8b8b
The mental gymnastics is absolutely insane
Their improvement is such a short amount of time is honestly shocking to me, if they can keep this up I can see them going pretty far in Champions
Half or even more of these reason fit for basically every other team in the playoff stage, the only advantage unique to VS is the Lakia thing, and I think you’re overrating how impactful not using him in groups would be since other teams have VODs of him playing for NUTURN and Visions Strikers from the Korea challengers finals and Masters Reykjavik and can just review those. This playoff stage, especially after G2 2-0’d Sentinels, seems like a huge tossup that anybody could win, except for maybe KRU.
Acend over 100T after VS bodied them and 100T beat Gambit? Sure
I think if it comes down to a tie it comes down to map record, and G2 has won 3 and lost 2 to SEN
But they have also consistently beat every other team in NA… the Reykjavik no show was a one off fluke too
Something needs to be done about people not caring about seeding matches
calm down bruh weren't the draws dropped like an hour ago
In both of the recent tournaments in Valorant BR has severely disappointed
Anyone blaming the SEN loss on the fact that it’s a seeding match is being incredibly disrespectful to both SEN and G2. First of all, this is the biggest tourney in the game so far, why would you not want the best seed possible? G2 completely dominated SEN today, and that’s the fact. SEN never has and never will underestimate or play down because of a seeding game. This seeding game bullshit is just copium from NA fans who aren’t ready to accept that NA can’t blow the doors off of every team anymore and other teams are developing to SEN’s level.
Holy shit Brazil looks like a complete clusterfuck idk how Brazil fans can take the mess that Brazil valorant looks like
Get challengers finals events on LAN so the onliners are filtered out and the actually good teams can go on, plus the teams that usually wouldn’t get LAN experience could get a chance to at least experience a LAN environment.
Well I said this before the match happened
KR is a top 3 region, VS and NUTURN showed that already
HL can bear CR without showing 50% of their playbook, JP is massively overrated
I hope they do, it will be very interesting
No matter what happens in LCQ, all experience that AU teams get against NA teams is good for international valorant in the long term
Whoops lol I fucked that up, but still that’s only one map out of how many, not exactly a great statistic
I mean renegades was a pretty solid top 20-30 team, they weren’t exactly dogshit but they weren’t exactly good either
Nice to see esports being taken as seriously as conventional sports, my question is how is the general public's reaction to these types of school, because I know many Americans have a very negative attitude towards video games. Is the same sentiment in Korea, or is it different?
I guess whenever Koreans touch a game they completely dominate it lol, it's crazy. Isn't there also a really healthy upbringing of esports talent in Korea? That's what I've heard from my brother who's really into League.
how do you have JP over SEA when JP has literally not won a single map so far in both masters events
EMEA and Korea are very close, Japan and LATAM are very much the worst scenes in the game right now. NA and EMEA ranking pretty obvious if you pay any attention to valorant esports. All my opinion of course, go drop your regional rankings if you want ig
If Korea is already performing this well with being the 11th most popular game imagine the talent if they went to top 5, holy shit I can already see the era of Korean dominance incoming
EMEA should get seperated into EU CIS and MENA and have them have their own qualifiers (I'm including Turkey in MENA)
I’m just going off of recent history, and the past tournaments and results have shown that NA is better than EMEA, could be proven wrong in playoffs tho
They also have the easiest group in the whole tournament
I go to a school with lots of international students, and many of them have been basically taught English by watching American movies lol, though the Asian kids have some trouble speaking it
I really like the trash talk going on in Berlin, it really makes the competitive environment feel real and serious, and not just a bunch of buddies hanging out and messing around. As long as the talk doesn’t go too far I think it’s completely fine and healthy for the game.
It’s a pretty unfair comparison because they play very different roles, S1mple is an awper through and through, he’s basically like Waddell and tries to get an awp any time he can get it, while TenZ is more of a hyper aggressive rifler/duelist, and also the relative difficulty to pull off a carry job like TenZ does sometimes compared to cs. I’d say because of the way duelists function and thrive off of aim duels in valorant TenZ still isn’t on S1mple’s level due to his straight up talent and ability, but we’ll see in the future.
I think that it’s probably due to the American and British dominance in the pop culture world that makes English easy to learn, imagine being bombarded by the English language basically since the day you were born and then trying to learn it later, you would find it pretty easy because you have been exposed to it for so long
TenZ the best player right now, there’s absolutely no competition the only argument is who is second
S1mple won the Intel Grand Slam, which is arguably harder than a Major. He already has cemented himself as the top AWPer in all of csgo with all of his insane clutch moments and carry jobs through s-tier tournaments. S1mple has carried NaVi to the top of cs while competing with infinitely more talented rosters like Astralis and Team Liquid basically all by himself for most of his career.
