Bait or not this is a fairly common take from some NA fans lol. This region wars bs just pmo atp. Just be happy every region looks competitive.

So funny to see NA frogs grasping at straws just so that they dont have to admit they look like the worst region atm. Dont see this from any other region, when apac and cn had no trophies they were self aware, and EU fans have been aware that they looked pretty bad recently. Its only NA fans that would kill just for someone to look worse than them.

milan also kinda goated

I igve her credit for being unbiased towards FNC even though shes boasters gf tbh

Eh shes fine, you have to also remember that riot will be very strict with what she can or cant say.

ghana valorant reigns supreme

i did that to your dog

Thats kind of just a symptom of how small these tournaments have been. And lets not forget that TL have been dealt probably the hardest cards out of every team here, basically forfeiting their first game and having the least time out of every team attending, yet still almost qualified.

I just don’t believe that the gap between qualified for playoffs and missed playoffs is that big, especially with the swiss stage system. Some teams are bound to just have an easier road to playoffs.

If they get to GF it will really depend on FNC fixing some of their maps, especially pearl. They just dont have the map pool rn to win from lowers. PRX are good at both Pearl and Sunset, FNC are historically not, and they will be forced to play both.

Your original argument was EMEA being a worse region than others by virtue of having one less team in playoffs, effectively meaning you counted one team as the indicator of what a good region is or not lol.

A team can be strong even if they do not make playoffs. TL had to play a game with a sub, then went on to stomp americas 3rd seed and played a close game against PRX, yet you discount them as not being a contender. To help you understand my original comment:

Emea 1 > Americas 1
Emea 2 < Americas 2
Emea 3 > Americas 3

How is there an argument for Americas to look better in this situation, if not entirely based on TH underperforming?

Selective focus on heretics makes people think EMEA is a lot worse than they are. Trruth is TL wouldve most likely qualified if they played against any other team, or if they didnt have to basically toss their first game. Placement isnt an absolute indicator, and from what Ive seen of this tournament I have no reason to believe SEN is much better than TL at all.

Zero reading comprehension classic

“I make up the requirements and everyone that doesnt agree is dumb”

Emea 3rd seed beat Americas 3rd seed, Emea 1st seed beat Americas 1st and 2nd. You believe NA is better because their number 2 seed is better than EMEAs? Very interesting definition of a better region

nvm

But the reactionary ameritards told me hes dragging the team down and has bad calls

That not all teams match up equally and map pool or just having a good/bad day matters

"Noooo trust were actually smarter we just think so much that the other team is getting more results frfr"

As a western european this is true icl, euros always make fun of Americans and the US, never realizing that we are pretty much the exact same

you did it twice vro

what the fuck is ecw

true valorant is made for the evil gays

the only people that dont like cs majors are cs fans, i have never seen a single positive comment in live chat icl

Just noticed they had the chance to play ascent as map 3 against geng and banned it. Most likely wouldve won that game if they didnt.

woot in for kamo as duellist ez

Disagree, I think TL looked pretty good with nAts in, wouldnt be surprised to see them be in top 4

Yeah it also inevitably leads to their execs being very explosive because they need to be done in lik1 5 seconds. Its impressive to see how well it works out, when every viewer is stressed because theres no time left but fnc look like it was all part of the plan

I think the stigma around FNC being boring is not this true anymore. To me the chamber ascent for example is a really fun watch. Theyre slow with execs on attack but have been pulling some crazy shit recently.

I honestly dont know why they dont make more 3 site maps (idk if this is a controversial take). The ones we have feel really good to me and they give val a unique identity in comparison to CS.

True if governor kills himself every round kaajak only has to carry 3 people -> less weight on his shoulders = better performance

Would they have been competitive in EMEA if they got to keep Kaajak?

apeks = 4 clowns carried by kaajak
JL = starxo carried by 4 goats

God it would be one of the greatest games oat if TL won that lotus, just feels like prx winning made it so anticlimactic

Leaving out JL with this new roster is criminal

Doubt it, BBL have been on an upwards trajectory and champs looks very possible for them, I assume theyll try to avoid changing up the roster

i will apologize for not seeing how ass team hereshits are

random vct transfer: delighted to bureau of labor

who says no?

ap0ks is getting relegated m8 will probably be able to at least re-qualify with comeback

the only way this gets preserved is if wolves win uppers and fnatic make it to gf, that has to be the script

Fnatic won as many internationals in 2023 as prx regionals throughout the entirety of franchising kinda tough no?

z0kk0n won one spongebob tournament and has choked everything ever since pipe down

cringe personality, unlike my cutiepie, jinggg

getting top 3 at champs is not a bigger achievement than being the first team to win back to back trophies, let alone just first place at a masters

Idk the only person that he could replace while still having the roles make sense is woot, and that guy is the least of THs problems

goku = wayne gretzky

star wars stormtrooper ahh fight

what

coughing baby>sym

trust he wants to go back to NA to have cfa

YOU will be next

if i jorked it 100 times i wouldve coomed 80 times
