haha no theyre not

nah they didnt give ONS a run, they literally lost 13-3 Icebox. They also went to OT in GF.

Also almost 2-0d by WGS

i love prx why they have to meet drx so early ;_;

they've never made a qualifier between KR and JP, you're talking about APAC LCQ, where Korean teams played on Hong Kong (terrible server, riddled with packet loss and instability issues) or had 80 ping and less than a month's practice. As for Nuturn, they actually made a decent run, but they were not the same Nuturn from Iceland. Damwon KIA were the best KR team at LCQ. They were also the same team that had less than a month's practice.

APAC LCQ last year was a fiesta, I think all LCQs besides EMEA was a fiesta last year. Hope they make it a LAN like APAC playoffs this year.

kek, I'm sure the T1 teams in other games use it too, so no worries.

just make another team with
Munchkin
Seoldam
eKo
Ryzzi
JinboongE

they have 2 buildings 1 in NA 1 in KR afaik

group a 1-apac 1
group b 1-br 1
group a 2-emea 1
group b 2-na 1

cheaper too. why waste time in tier 2 when u could compete for a spot at champs and masters

The FA talent in Korea is sooo large man you could easily build a DRX+ calibre team with the right players and support.

come to Korea

sheeeesh thats crazy

does Turkey have the viewership to deserve a spot?

Honestly no expectations but this is good for JP.

agree

why are we not giving a second KR team a chance? Make it like an inter-regional qualifier like for BR-LATAM.

Korean teams like WGS and ONS have done better vs DRX than NiP and Zeta. They deserve a chance too.

historically and privately DRX is well-known to demolish other Asian teams. It wouldn't be surprising - expected even.

That's a bad take - we haven't seen the playoff teams. Just because they were first seed does not mean they'll do well. Group stages proved that anything can happen.

true, I'm still keeping my expectations tempered.

yes, it's a really unfortunate situation. But BraveAF was a huge factor in Fnatic's success in EMEA.

I actually think Fnatic were doomed from the start because not having BraveAF ruined their team synergy and execs. We know Fnatic is a very structured and exec heavy team, so without a connected Initiator they were always going to lack an advantage. I personally think that the results would not be so different even if Derke was there, although it is fucking Derke so you never know.

TSM FTX bro

DRX Split is insane though they beat peak Gambit on it.

yo congratulations!!

some insane KR rosters:

Seoldam
Lakia
Sylvan
Munchkin
Persia

Hyeoni
Suggest
Harry
10X
Ryzzi

and u also have like tons of FA jetts who are cracked
foxy9
kobra
allow
meteor
eKo

yeah isnt that what LOUD is doing rn?

true

i mean, PRX were up 9-3 vs DRX on Icebox...it was a sorta close game.
I am in PRX copium, I like em is all.

i think the two situations arent comparable because xerxia was comfortably in the driver's seat vs OpTic.

the arrogance to say that after getting manhandled by Xerxia with the PR disaster that followed, plus with NA going out in groups at Champs...

PRX levelled up HARD since then. Even still they had close games with the strongest iteration of DRX and took a map off M3 SMB which was a really big dark horse.

tbf of the 8 rounds 4 were pistol+bonus rounds so unlucky really

except for Overwatch...and PUBG....and Apex.....?

cheering for

PRX
XIA
TGRD
TL
LOUD
KRÜ
G2
FNC
NiP
ZETA

and ofc DRX :)

GGs, respect to NiP, Breeze was the closest game DRX has had in the tourney.

You give brazilian fans a bad rep.

went from saying NiP 2-0 then NiP 2-1 now he said it was an expected DRX 2-0 holy copium

nah, they just don't give a shit about Valorant....yet.

excited for LOUD, ggs boys.

I actually think on Breeze they had a better Defense than Attack. A few rounds were mistakes but they clutched up on the crucial ones. Can't make these mistakes anymore. I hope DRX clean it up-this 13-8 was their closest game so far.

not yet. I would like to see DRX vs PRX though

interesting

L

gg

hes still mechanically better than what i gave him credit for

i take back what i said about him

This guy used to be a Jett main

are we still on this weird notion that KR has bad mechanics?

VS never lost to ACE bro what? they beat them and it wasn't even close. they also never got 2-0'd at an international event.

edit: failed to realise it was meme post my bad
