this T1 team not gonna survive Pacific with all the aggression in the region

They need a highly discipline coach like Bail to sort this team out, Autumn too soft and doesn't bring out T1 players potential.

Pacific SEA teams aggressive play will eat up T1 EZ.

agree should be:
SEA: Bleed
KR: Damwon
JP: CR

If game in China was out b4hand, FPX, EDG, & 1 more

Pacific vs SA is this turney hype, not NA vs EU judging by the matches so far

nO wEsTeRn TeAmS pLaYiNg So BoRiNg.......

u see his post match press conference? He said it himself he's not there yet, yet people been rating him too highly.

1. BabyJ
2. Seoldam
3. SkRossi

After T1 play later today, my hope is that they would go up to 3rd/4th place (Optimistic)

Bleed gonna sign Yay and Something

he smart for not going

Key Points from Article Interview

• “CR Gaming School” provides services based on the vision of “seriously facing people who seriously want to improve their game ”.
• lesson will be held once a week, It's a 90 minute one-on-one lesson, and the main focus is coaching rather than direct teaching (for 3 months).
• The coaches are not only former professional players in the competitive scene, coaches of professional teams, and analysts, but they also have top-level skills in the industry, having coached hundreds of people
• Medical Chart evaluation that "visualize" the problems and strengths of the students and established a 10-level evaluation standard for each item with the help of experts.
• They don't necessarily want tryouts to be the goal . They just want you to talk to your coach, set realistic goals, and work hard to achieve them. Of course, if you don't go to CRGS, you can't get into CR.
• In addition to requesting submission of entry sheets, they are thinking of setting up an opportunity for an interview.
• The timing for recruiting students for each title will be narrowed down to once every three months, and it is assumed that there will be about 50 to 60 students each time.
• Cost 66,000 yen = $490 USD

They starting 1st game education with Apex, but surely they gonna have Valorant later. I feel like this is a good step for JP to develop for their E-sport Scene, as I feel like the people behind this are reliable enough, and have the ability to reel in casual players rather than just developing an academy team. What do u think?

ZETA players + DFM Reita/Takej was Absolute Jupiter CS team pre sure

but PRX always beat the TLN core players in X10/Xerxia

RRQ too high

1 DRX
2 PRX
3/4/5/6 T1/Gen.G/Talon/ZETA (Super Contested)
7 GE
8 TS
9 DFM

100 Argh Argh Que

update?

1:30 AM IST
4 AM SGT
12 PM PST
3 PM EST

Large amount of TLN fans comes to airport midnight to early morning to meet the players before their flight, TLN fanbases deserve to be in the list.

currently confirmed 10 teams, with possible maybe 12 if Chinese teams gets invitation

wait till Chinese players gets added after a year or 2

to Edward Gaming

• Now that the chamber nerf has been implemented to the game, would we see zmjkk playing less Chamber role?

to T1

• How much has the bootcamp in NA help T1 prepared of going into this tournament?

to GE

• How does the absence of Wronski affect the preparation of GE going into this tournament?

only downside of t3xture rn is his lack of International LAN experience, I agree he will be a much better player in the near future but this current GE team has ??? all over it, due to difference of regional playstyle, non 1st language comms and teamwork synergy this early in the year.

its just a regional thing, internationals don't really pay attention to these.

t3xture very consistent Jett player, unfortunate he never go International LAN cause Korea only ever get 1 spot in the past and always go to DRX.
Bazzi looks more comfortable on Jett rather than initiator, according to Global Contract Database he's GE reserve player, but due to Wronski absence he might be playing this Sao Paulo.

I wouldn't rank them as top korean players (DRX players > T1 > Gen.G = GE korean players), but definitely above average and decent enough to hang with quality of international players. Teamwork wise Gen.G players are better due to TNL core players.

EDG & T1

Does any1 know if George Geddes/Sliggy/Sean Gares gonna stream the Omega group Press Conference? Should be later today no?

can't rush patiphan too early or else he's gonna end up like Seoldam.

Far east russia, closer to Japan than to Europe

136 elims still lose, no Osaka LAN for smth

136 kills and still not enough apparently. Feels bad for Smth

Sengoku vs Fennel 2-2 now on 5th map with something currently on 112/55 /7. YES 112 elims.
https://www.twitch.tv/valorant_jpn

edit: He finish with 136/74/10 and STILL lost. No Osaka LAN for smth.

both lower and grand final will be played on LAN

SG better win, we need to see smth on LAN in Osaka

W Pacific
APAC = All Players Are Cracked!!

PRX on Lotus shows some planned strats like the boombot sage wall tech, sage wall forsaken OP, jinggg ult to break door with Benkai judge.

Pearl? After numerous timeout in which Alecks forces them to buy and eventually failed to win the round and their starts aren't working they pre much just gave up.

Also MCE has been prepared for this match heavily as his revenge match from the Guard/PRX drama etc. I don't believe Benkai and jinggg would be this type of person, but Mindfreak and forsaken when switch to speaking Indonesian, their personality is hella different very ego and sharp tongued/unsympathetic way.

Also C9 played extremely well too, just straight up outplaying PRX in most of the situation.

Burger King, Hungry Jacks buff

EDG release a Twitter Vlog, unfortunately not up on YT nor has subtitles.
I believe EDG can put up good fight against 100T like Gen.G did and hopefully can get a win too even though its gonna be hella difficult.

Sry u bad from Royal Never Give Up bottom frag 28/41 on a recent game against TYLOO.

https://www.vlr.gg/171893/tyloo-vs-royal-never-give-up-fgc-valorant-invitational-2023-act-1-qualifiers-ro16/?game=all&tab=overview

unique IGN tho.

If CR in didn't mess up their paperwork, they probably took JP 2nd slot for Franchising instead of DFM.

Very safe pick, almost as if there will be no upsets.

destroyed in scrimms and also they look very unhappy about a lot of things in their end

interpretation: losing -> unhappy on multiple things -> leads to typical "who cares fk this" behaviour -> not caring/trying etc.
If someone ever says we weren't trying, just assume they lost already??

I will be there 🙂Thanks!
