you have to be ascendant or higher to qualify for GC teams

tier 2 doesnt exist anymore, theres partnered orgs and everyone else

interesting, i have seen others assume its a logitech issue and i do use a superlite. its been acting up while playing lately in general so that could be part of it
just find it weird that it only occurs if you do it in a certain order

So this might've already been said but it only occurs if the Util is the FIRST thing you buy in the round. Buy a gun or shield first itll single buy the util even if you have enough for double.
Also if you end up selling everything you buy and then go to buy util first itll double buy again.
it makes me wonder if its actually something they intended to add

Well regardless, he doesnt rep the US lol

they havent announced it yet

Jaw is Cambodian

Isnt KRU an Argentinian org?

i mean if you actually checked the stream you'd know why

This guy doesn't know ball

He was on EGs 2023 reserve roster

"Made in Brazil" is clearly just a lie at this point

Do I think a team thats actually in form right now deserves a slot over a team that hasnt been in form for nearly 3 months? Yes 100%

They need to get rid of champions points man. In what world does anyone want a team that couldn't even get top 4 in their group in stage 2 at champs? Being rewarded for success in kickoff or even stage 1 shouldn't be a thing when the meta changes every stage with agent updates and map pool changes. Make stage 2 playoffs actually important by making it the actual top 4 of the stage be the ones who get to go to champs. MIBR hasn't been good since stage 1 regular season and yet they get to go to champs after winning 2 matches since losing the lower bracket final of stage 1 playoffs and now they are gonna go and get grouped at champs. I know people gonna flame me for this but goddamn there has to be a better system than this.

I mean, your voice doesnt really change all that much once youve gone through puberty until youre like 75-80. The oldest english VA for Valorant is Steve Blum at 65 but he already sounds like an old man so i doubt itll matter that much

EG, although stage 1 playoffs have me feeling hopeful for a champs appearance

True, I have seen some people suggest the original Champs theme. Which I think would work but just the bit that plays on the vandal inspect, but i also think they can make/find something better.

The number of game 5s at this MSI has made me really appreciate how much Silver Scrapes hypes up the crowd for the final match of the series. I feel like if Valorant had something similar it could spice up finals that go the distance.

I'll play

Doesnt the team who wins the Lower Bracket Final face this possibility already?

Or they bought it out of respect for EDGs amazing run at champs?

Respect for Twisten honor, but isnt Derke gone from FNC?

I recently changed mine for game changers champions but switched it back after the tournament

This happened to me my first match in gold, we lost bonus and then dude proceeded to int the rest of the match. Other random left so it was a 3v5 essentially, still only lost 7-13 but god damn worst experience I've had in this game.

EG C0M and EG Boostio, possibly EG Demon1 if his decline continues

All great songs and performances

Wasn't Vanity the IGL???

I think it'll happen right before team entrances

He aced the round but i think his first kill was before he was alone

TheGuard was t1 in 2021, they just didn't make franchising. I suppose you could argue he is a rookie to franchising but he's been around and known for quite a while.

I feel like the audio setup is dampening crowd noise. I've barely heard them at all this tournament.

His first and only match was in the EMEA LCQs so i feel like he could technically be considered a rookie for this year but you are correct he debuted in 2023

Valyn was part of TheGuard roster that was in Reykjavik back in 2021

Primmie out JohnQT in and BenjyFishy should be higher, probably right above or below Wo0t

Well... I got nothing for you there buddy

They usually air like an hour or so after final match concludes, so not necessarily the most convenient but its more doable than waking up at 1 am for live for me

Just watch the rebroadcast or vod

They rebroadcast the matches after both matches are complete, just dont go on VLR until after you watch the rebroadcast

Plus they rebroadcast the matches later in the day, just dont go on VLR if you dont want to be spoiled

Is there a way to mute certain peoples posts? im getting tired of this kid with his sencity sign off

The draw was only 2 hours ago, its between 10pm and 1 am in canada rn. Not unreasonable for him to have just seen the draw.
Cant believe im defending him rn tbh

South NA?

I think its because literally every team qualified that people were saying it didn't really count as a major. The format alone was definitely the hardest to win but as far as counting being there as an accomplishment i don't think it counts.

exactly, I guess you could say they "made" franchising but thats a bit of a given for an org like 100T

does "making" lock/in really count?

Thats a good take. The way Shyy was taking out Kinng every round was hilarious

I feel like Tex is better just based on his pure fragging ability but i definitely think shyy is top 4

Despite the loss I feel like he's proved he's one of the best sentinels in Americas. Dude went 86/74 and diffed everyone other than Tex.

Him and Shyy are the only ones keeping KRU in this match. They might just win it because of them.
