edg aint dead though

why are you bumping your own L?
do you have a humiliation kink or something?

good players create "Luck".
luck is created by putting yourself in good positions.

wrtfff

wait pause.

its liquid's perma ban.

smartest g2 fan

didnt nivera want to stay with scream?

idk.
this map veto doesnt look good.
eg best two maps in the pool.

its looking like it.

nope just that one so far.

read again.

A VCT treble would be legendary.

I would be so surprised if it happened because anti-stratting seems king right now.
and making deep runs at every event would help teams anti strat.

You guys are so lucky that those saudi clubs are cleaning up your mess.
chelsea has overpayed for so many players recently.

Losing mount is so silly.
if you somehow get rid of kouli without making a ridiculous loss i will be surprised.

Squad is becoming bloated with players undeserving of their spot/wage.
Also still a few positions need to be sorted and you have spent so much already.

I think sen should focus on qualifying first.

Thrice.

Yeah right now kru is my favourite.
That win versus sentinels was crazy.
The fnc game was also so close.
and of course they went toe to toe with gambit.

I think if edg makes top 3 it would become the best run/my favourite run.

Not really an "underdog run".
Acend was the 2nd highest EMEA seed going into the event and had just placed top 8 at masters berlin.

Kru (2021 Champions Berlin) Placed 3rd/4th

Route:
- 0-2 vs Liquid 
- 2-1 vs Furia
- 2-1 vs Sentinels 
- 2-1 vs Fnatic (Quarter final)
- 1-2 vs Gambit (Semi final)

Zeta (2022 masters 1 Reykjavík) Placed 3rd

Route:
- 0-2 vs Drx
- 2-0 vs Fnatic
- 2-1 vs Ninjas in Pyjamas 
- 0-2 vs G2
- 2-1 vs Liquid
- 2-1 vs DRX
- 2-1 vs PRX
- 0-3 vs Optic

EDG (2023 Masters TOKYO) TBC

Route: 
- 1-2 vs T1
- 2-0 vs NAVI
- 2-0 vs T1
- 1-2 vs Liquid
- 2-0 vs Loud
- TBC

And how far would EDG need to go to have the best underdog run.

Only the playoffs of emea is a lan.
The playins and the group stage is online.

Also the playins is all b01 until the semi-finals.

Yes.

Yeah the baddyg sub era pre-iceland.
the results were good but i havent watch vods to see how good his calls were. (i wasnt as interested in valorant back then)
though ange1 was playing in the grand finals and a bit before

least parasocial twitch viewer.

bro i know redgar can igl.

the question im asking is kinda unrelated to the post but if shao is a good igl that could be used to build a russia/ukraine mix

How good was shao as an igl?
I've heard some people talk about it but i havent watched any of his games when he igled.

can i have a one time pass to necro a post please.

LCQ/QUAL PREDS

Americas:
1: C9
(tokyo): Lev

Emea:
1: Navi
(tokyo): Giants

Pacific:
1: RRQ
(tokyo): Zeta

CHINA:
1: EDG
2: BLG
3: TYLOO
(TOKYO): ASE

its unlikely that any of the 5th seeds from any of the regions would make a deep run.

you need to have some more faith.
chet thrives when he has more games/information to base off of.

yep. it's not something to keep harping on about.
and honestly it would only become important if something like a "valorant world cup" happened.

Whatever nation a player chooses to represent is what nationality they are.
obviously that nationality though must have some concrete connection to the player.

stop with this cringy shit of "claiming" players

no they didnt.
thats just bdog tdawg and vanity.

I mean champs will be a good way to gage interest.
They are planning on using

• Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall (groups + part of the playoffs)
• Kia forum (top 4)

I would expect La to be more interest in esports?
but the Kia forum is pretty big.

could do something in chicago then.
For worlds they went to even bigger venues like the State farm arena and even the Chase center.
is valorant in north americas really not even 1/4th the size of LoL?

Fair enough. I was just going off what riot did for worlds.
They chose madison square for the groups stages and quarters

Masters 1: Singapore (sg) - "Singapore Indoor Stadium"
Masters 2: NYC (usa) - "Theater at Madison Square Garden"
Champions: London (uk) - "Copper Box"

this is want i want/predict.

Update on flowy:
I'm 98% sure that fly is also flowy.
The games played match up with his liquipedia page: https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Flowy

Also if you look at the roster played in the qualifers for Saudi eLeague 2023: Season 1:

• https://valorant.qualification.gg/scheduleTeamVTeam
• you can click this link and click the teams to see the rosters
• This is the roster listed: izuki, Falcon anas ,Falcon Veenx, Flowy, Falcon LIQUID, Falcon F00lz (coach: https://twitter.com/papaf00lz)

Also for the event he played with yalla he is listed in the roster:

• https://play.calyx.gg/tournament/valorant-league-mena/69b5c106-ab73-426c-89a1-fe5fad20cc40/participants

years of playing ut4 and listening to ncs created a monster.

👻BOO👻

I mean alot of the emea rosters came about due to guild and m3c splitting.
Fnatic: +leo / +chronicle
Liquid: +sayf / +redgar +nats
Koi: +trexx +kolda /+sheydos

The m3c and guild cores didn't stay together due to the lack of success they had in 2022.

In americas only xset was really picked apart like that, with the 3 other teams that had success in 2022 staying together for the most part.

In the americas you could argue sentinels tried to make a super team , nrg had 4 superstar players, lev took in all the best latam players, c9 tried to do something before the made the most recent changes.

Wowzers

Otherwise we’d be the best

No point lying.

Anyways, I know it's not as popular as it used to be but I didnt think it would continue falling so quickly.

Wow the viewership is really low, though it is the start of the split.

I know interest was dwindling but its getting bad.

i can see why tsm wants to leave.

10-4 up aswell.
that marved ace changed the game

optic has never lost the first playoff game in an international event?
I dont think they have ever done a long lower bracket run.

2021: 
- Masters 3 berlin: 2-0 vs sentinels
- Champs: got grouped

2022:
- Masters 1 Reykjavík: 2-1 vs The Guard
- Masters 2 Copenhagen:  2-0 vs XSET
- Champions Istanbul: 2-1 vs Liquid

2023: 
- Lock//in Sao Paulo: 2-0 Koi

me when i am a waffling competition and i see this post 🤯🤯

Cool :).

Group B is tough.
Especially if a team like s2g wins playins.
