RRQ don't have a 6th player unlike T1, but Xffero literally was competing whilst bring sick. Unlucky Sylvan.

XQQ Head Coach. As it should have always been.

"There were horrible things like flu in korea these days. So as a result.... certain players got that flu too"

YES OFC THE FLU.

T1 gonna play with Carpe

Just make sure when you buy the event ticket ur in a place that has the best internet. Cause some blackout in some parts of the world if u have to.

1am? Past midnight? The entire 2021 and 2022 VCT were mostly all like that for us in SEA for entire 2 years. You’re fineee.

Americans for whatever reason really into superhero type stuff, so I’m guessing marvel rivals have something to do with it. Pre sure last weekend was a major fortnite tournament event too.

If Pacific starts 5pm KST (GMT+9) I’m assuming Bangkok would be around 3pm (GMT+7)

free1ng vs JohnQT Tejo battle.

its super early morning in asia, rn its full of asia doubters.

nAts Chichoo

Mako calling stax and buzz MID.

2Glue

o/

banh mi hater.

1 and 2 are interchangeable, but fair.

VIT getting 2nd means u guys can get rid of G2 for everyone here.

W

VIT can beat G2 opening game of Bangkok.

Sliggy gonna have a fun time next platchat.

yes. Lets keep the narrative that way.

Still 1st map, TL still gonna win map 2 and 3 too.

u probably just in the mood to re-watch shows over and over. My personal anime to re-watch is HxH Greed Island Arc.

VIT/G2 fans gonna complain about how CN kickoff ends earlier as an excuse to being outperformed regardless.

• 1/2/3 are EDG/G2/VIT in any order (but SHOULD be those 3)
• DRX always 4-6 (As they always consistently get)
• T1 5-8 cause never make playoffs at any international VCT events
• Rest is debatable with expectation and upset potential.

T1 not making playoffs again.

ffs gonna have to elaborate paragraph cause u don't understand:

EDG won the most difficult tournament 16 teams: meaning EDG won the most difficult teams (HIGHEST DIFFICULTY) and to win an 8 teams turney (EASIER DIFFICULTY) would be considered an underdog story? #1 meaning 8 team masters by EDG is a lot tougher than winning champs.

SEN/GenG/TH part of group of death.

This implies the difficulty in champs. In 8 teams swiss format, GenG could dodge SEN in lowers (cause u can't vs same team again in swiss) meaning being in group of death (champs) is a LOT harder than being in masters. Champs > Masters

as if the number of teams determines the quality of the competition

16 teams champs means the possibility of being stuck in group of death determine the quality of competition of being in swiss stage of 8 teams master.

DO U ACTUALLY GENUINELY THINK THAT 8 TEAMS MASTERS IS A SUPERIOR QUALITY COMPETITION WHERE CHAMPS IS THE GRAND STAGE OF COMPETITIVE VALORANT?

UNDERDOG STORY THIS. PREVIOUS YEARS CHAMPS WINNER (NO ROSTER CHANGE) IS AN UNDERDOG FOR NEXT YEAR MASTERS AFTER THEY WON THEIR REGIONAL VCT.

EDG losing map 1 of almost all of their matches, it was an uphill battle on that upper bracket.

VS Termi have numbers on C9Korea Autumn too.

8 teams masters turney is swiss stage no1 seed vs no2 seed.
Champs 16 teams are groups of 4 teams. SEN/GenG/TH part of group of death.
U even watch Champs?

anyone outside of g2 and vit winning would be an underdog story

EDG wins champs (16 teams), heading to masters bangkok (8 teams) underdog story?

T1 just needs to work on their map pool. Some maps they just get fully destroyed. 2024 GenG was so good because they were good on all maps.

1 of the curse already invalid. The roster sticks, no changes. Curse power already reduced.

Looking forward to seeing him compete then.

• DRX free1ng best tejo player itw.
• VIT solid EMEA team, gets hyped up like G2 as top 2 teams, but most vlr users still doubting EDG cause they want western teams to be better narratively.

International teams > domestic americas teams

ZmjjKK had to be 1st. Record Breaking Champs MVP.

Termi great at developing players to get top 4th-6th team at champs.

zellsis

Valo champions doubters.

T1 ALWAYS have map pool issue. DRX rebuilding its roster with new players (needs time).

Best Tejo itw.

Buzz touched it too.

Only like G2 for the Fk Sentinels plane banner message thing.

C9 can do the funniest thing, screw over NRG for 4th place in Omega group. Prevent NRG from making Masters Toronto.

Lotus 2024 EDG, soo many teams copying EDG comps.

T1 players probably too tired from yesterdays game. I'd say 3-1 DRX win.

anomaly, outside the box, worst enemy to predictable basic mindset.

I like TL making it to Bangkok instead of TH. It's good to have different EMEA representation instead of FNC/TH every year. TL chaotic muddy glue valorant is the exact type of valorant to throw G2 off their game. If playing perfect textbook set play valorant is G2 strongest point, don't play to G2 winning condition and TL anomaly playstyle would be perfect to break G2 consistency and momentum.

Westerners not gonna be happy with this one.
