some people here should never have more influence

ch0t lmao

because they play aggressive which is fun to watch and KK is also fun to watch

I'm also Chinese(my parents were) so I understand VCT China's streams

because they have similar playstyles and are fun to watch.

My favorite teams in order are PRX, Gen.G, EDG, and G2(for some reason, idk why, they don't match the aggressive style i like at all)

Regions don't matter. I like teams for whatever reason, and will support them.

It's that G2 has amazing synergy together. You don't know if said synergy will exist if they bring in someone new. It's the same problem with people suggesting -icy +demon1/Jawgewmo

people can't have second favorite teams?

I love PRX, but Gen.G just remind me of PRX if they learned discipline. I find it fun to watch both teams.

doubt that G2 drops leaf

how retarded do you have to be to not support Gen.G?

unless you're fucking braindead you should know PRX are nowhere near the favorites

So the next best option is Gen.G, who are our APAC brothers and got APAC our first trophy <3

depends on the meta and if they keep their form

TenZ was unmatched in those early days

Gen.G just reminds me of PRX but if they actually learned to stop W Keying and had better fundamentals.

Cracked players, hyper aggressive, and very good synergy but they know when to stop W Keying.

For G2 to win against Gen.G, they need to have players step up and keep their famed fundamentals

PRX(not cope trust)

Shanghai taught us to not be complacent where we are and to stop overheating, we will win <3

(i'm happy with Gen.G either tho)

True, but I think valyn would outfrag

The main problem with G2 that I see is that compared to most top teams, they are worse individually. They are definitely really good players, but they rely heavily on being fundamentally sound.

When that gets broken up and they don't have that synergy, they get crushed against better individual players like their loss against Lev.

debatable vs FNC(I'm still not too sure how well they rank tho) and Gen.G

i've heard of phelps but never heard of ledecky

problem solved

exactly, that 1000 is the average just says a lot

I was scoring 1200-1300 when I was fourteen

budget?

easy as fuck, valorant is dead easy to run

Ignore PRX vs Talon. PRX has historically just crushed talon for some reason and that's not a good indicator at all. It'd be like judging PRX based on them losing twice to TS.

In the Talon vs DRX match, (keep in mind Talon lost 26-12) primmie went +3

the clip says primmie has better MECHANICS than aspas

that's what we're debating

and sorry but PRX is just Talon's kryptonite

they always get crushed vs PRX

LOL

but it's true....

true, they might really lock in and make something happen

but I still don't see them beating PRX unless KK pulls something out his ass and/or the rest of his team plays amazing

even when PRX shit the bed in Shanghai we still beat EDG.

this is exactly why I see talon as such a big dark horse

unless you watched APAC, the only reason you even know talon is primmie, you don't know the rest of the team

but I watched them a decent amount and feel they are pretty solid and fr0st is a good coach. Throw in a star duelist and I think they can really cook

0% chance SEN make it out is crazy

every team in this group has the potential to make it out

I highly doubt EDG beats PRX.

The one time PRX lost was Madrid, but at the time Monyet wasn't playing great and alecks himself mentioned that they had a TON of issues to fix

PRX and EDG both play a very aggressive style but PRX is more used to it and are the better team overall imo

maybe KK pulls out something crazy, but I doubt it past that

PRX > G2 is crazy even tho i'm a PRX fan

G2 just hard counters our playstyle

I think primmie is gonna cook for this talon squad

talon is imo the biggest dark horse into this event ESPECIALLY with primmie.

i think they're gonna go pretty deep and finish 5/6.

how?

not the right way to post link

I'm going with the two favorites(I think they're the favorites?) in Gen.G and TH.

Gen.G is making it in 99% of the time. Unless something crazy happens, I see them beating all three teams. (maybe not SEN, but Gen.G have been playing great and beat SEN in the normal B03 match.)

I have FPX winning round one but TH through the LB. FPX almost beat TH last time, and are going to be hungry to show they can play at the top level. But TH is better overall(imo) and I think they bounce back quickly. I think SEN isn't going to go down without a fight, but I just don't see them beating either TH or Gen.G in their current form.

Here's the rest of it for anyone interested:

Exactly. Copenhagen was when I first started to be a PRX fan, but this just confirmed it for life :)

yeah, but LOL songs are dope

judge says hello :)

also no info on defense

True, but C0M has had experience at Champs and these high pressure situations. I get kicks and CeNder can do well, but niether(from what I know) have experience in an international(outside of Lock//in), and the stakes are very different. They also have more rookies as well.

I think VIT are going to do well, yes, but I still see LEV winning 80/20

PRX:

-trolling
-throwing
-choking

+good breakfast for good aim

alternate title: recreating Optic in 2025

PRX 3-2 Gen.G

PRX dodged some of the teams that hard counter them and Gen.G took them out for PRX

texture tries his best but one aim demon < 5 aim demons

Agreed on the first part, but I still see LEV winning. (TBF I don't watch too much EMEA)

I think LEV core > VIT core, and LEV deadweight is more experienced and used to these situations over VIT

that's not how that works

you're not factoring in a ton of other stuff

eh, maybe...

G2 have had a history of starting slow...

but even so I still don't see it. It might be closer than normal, but no.

Was Eg better than Loud

yes. why is this a question???

https://www.vlr.gg/248283/evil-geniuses-vs-loud-valorant-champions-2023-playoffs-lbf

and Fnatic

probably not, thought it's debatable

2000 VP is too much imo

Even as a PRX fan PRX > G2 does not happen unless we finally get our shit together and/or play insane

G2 playstyle just hard counters us

TBH i kinda fw the rest tho

Honestly weirdly similar to mine.

FNC > DRX and KRU > BilliBilli for me
I have FPX winning matchup one but TH winning thru LB instead (I also do not see VIT > LEV at all)
Talon run over Trace run (I have a lot of faith in primmie from those early games

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/032b2f2e

what

PRX
GEN.G
G2
FNC

in prime form? Or as a career?

if they keep it up for the first half of Ascent, I'm in.

someone informed them that they would be in the group of death if they lost, so now they have to try

people hate G2 for their playstyle

PRX take notes :)

we can at least get one map from EG in a B05, surely we win against wish.com EG who suck at B05s right?

okay this is how we win champs guys
