I prayge Maryville can bring this home vs Cubert!

He stopped playing to give others a chance...
Maybe HE is the chosen one...
Maybe BABYBAY is NA's last hope...
MAYBE BABYBAY CAN BRING THE GLORY BACK TO NA AND G2 THIER FIRST TROPHY

agree, agree, agree, and agree

nah, i will continue to hate T1 and make posts about it. They deserve it

Let's say in the next partnership cycle, that America's got split into two regions like it should have been, who is getting spots in both regions? I dont know LATAM/Brazil ball so I will leave that to others, but for North America I would think its

Sen - Love or prob hate them, they are the biggest brand in NA
NRG - Solid Org with good funding, prob safe
Shopify - Been in challengers for a while and supporting T2
Envy - Will prob win ascension and is a Legacy Org
G2 - Saved The Guard roster and is a fan favorite.
100T? - Hard maybe

• 2 other orgs?
• 4 Ascension Teams?

Notible exclusions are EG, C9, TSM, and MAYBE 100T since rumors are they want to leave eSports, but im not sure.
C9 only got in because G2 fucked up so they prob are out
EG might be shutting down entirely once this first cycle is over
TSM is just fucked idk man

At first it was cool, now its just sad... MIBR is South America's last hope, and its not going too well...

Culture of bullying. New T1 documentary showed me the light. I will be hating on Aut0mn and B0zz until the day I die

Meteor lowkey might be my favorite pacific player that isnt on PRX

Asuna needs to go too

HARD AGREE. Not even bait, I've been sayin this.

Any games T1 loses from now on, I will be hate watching

Kinda, and the fact that America's is one league. I think if South America had their own league, it could be so much better for both regions

I fucking HATE T1, they are full of bullies. A team should build each other up, not break each other down... FUCK Aut0mn, FUCK B0zz, Meteor is cool tho, I fuck with Meteor.

I think they keep Leaf, no matter what the result is. Demon1 will prob get higher offers elsewhere too. This is kinda like a prove it scenario for Demon1, do good, get a spot elsewhere, do bad, not get another team. Leaf has never been the issue with G2, so its not like he will be swapped.

I think its a few things.

1. Recycled Talent. A lot of teams arent giving T2 talent a chance and are just recycling old talent, or players arent getting a chance because they are too young.
2. Visa Issues. Because a lot of the South American teams have to have their players aquire visa's, they dont get the proper practice in time to push the higher level teams like Sen or G2 sometimes, leading to larger gaps. Its partially an issue with a closed circuit too, T2 South American teams can't scrim the T1 teams since they are all in NA for Partnership. This leads to LARGER issues since it recycles the old talent.
3. Language Barriers. Too many teams are including imported talent leading to language barrier issues. Teams like the new Loud, Lev, and MIBR all have talent from different regions that communicate differently, leading to players having to quickly adapt to different languages that arent their native ones. It's an issue with the system...
4. America's just choke... we will not lift another trophy until we can figure out how to not choke. We are so far behind on mental strength I think, like teams need to start implementing performance coaches and mental coaches to stand a chance, or increase coaching staff period. Like, even this year T1 had like a whole ass army of staff, and PRX had a bunch of help. More help = better, and America's just doesnt want to spend the money to do that.

Thats what i think at least.

I kinda think yes and no?
No because I think all international events with actual qualifers should be considered not Mickey. You actually have to qualify to get there, meaning you have to beat teams who probably trying to qualify to get there, then beat internation competition once you get there.
HOWEVER, yes because a few series were BO1 and there wasnt a lot of downtime to prep for games. Even in non-esports, prep is a huge part of competing, so not getting the chance to have a huge part of what makes a game competitive is gone.
All in all, I think from a viewing standpoint it was fun to watch, and I'm glad some other teams and players got a chance to play at in international, despite the controversy surrounding it.

VCT Bumfuck Nebraska

i mean, i think they are better then bottom 4 tbh, they might lose to envy, but i think they can beat a solid half of T2

Maryville finally made challengers... I'm so proud of them... They have been on a tear recently and its finally time for them to show NA what they can do!

0/10 bait, nt tho

wrong. and ur goat int'd into site like 20 times no util

wait how

They started down a map too, and it wasnt really close either, so it was honestly pretty big

I was able to meet these guys after they beat Winthrop to win the NA College finals today. They were all super nice and allowed me to take photos with them. Those guys played insane and bounced back well after a pretty rough map 1. They made me fans today, and I hope they can finally qualify for T2!

At no point in his career has Less ever been a top 5 sentinel in the world

goatrial

HARD Disagree. Liquid has been going in a budget direction after year one of partnership flopped at champs. This roster WILL make champs, so they will just stay the same...

dutch melrose, charlotte sands, lucidious, those are all good ones

what is my igl doing

Maybe Hajime no Ippo? idk if you consider it one that qualifies, but I would say it does

Congrats and good luck!

Hajime No Ippo
Black Clover (if you can get past the first 20ish episodes)
Recency Bias says JJK and Solo Leveling

Sen have home advantage, they have 90% of the fans that come to the games, even non-sen games have sen fans who show up. They just are the most popular NA team, like them or not, the fans always get the seats.

THATS WHAT IM SAYING. Dude legit living off of the first 3 week span of partnership.

Might be the biggest paycheck stealer in all of Valorant history. Legit living off of the first 3 weeks of Partnerships.

Glad to be here man! I appreciate it! #CloudberriesWin

its not your fault man! we all could have played better, dont be hard on yourself!

Week 1 - Lotus
I played Yoru both games, game one we started up 9-3 on defense before closing it out 13-3. I ended up going 15/11/4 on map one. Game two we choked, hard. Although we were already down 10-2 at the half, we should have been able to comeback, but the game ended at 13-7. I ended up going 16/18/4 on map two.

Week 2 - Pearl
Unfortunetly, we only had time for one game this week, however we did end up winning. We were down 8-2 at one point on attack, but me being on Deadlock, I knew all we needed was three. I told the team, "get me at least three and I promise we win this game." Alas, we ended the half 9-3, but with us finally locking in, we did it, we came back from 9-3 down and won the game 13-10. I ended the game going 23/16/6.

Week 3 - Split
I was put on Cypher this week, and I had 2 insane life games. Game one started and although we at one point went down 2-3, we close the half out at 7-5. After the half, they never got another round and the first game ended 13-5. I ended up going 24/10/3 on map one. Game two however, would not be as easy... We started attack and went down 2-7, before I called a timeout. We took a breather, calmed our nerves, and came up with a plan as well as corrected our mistakes. We managed to salvage the half at 5-7, swapping to defense, our better half. They however, got the pistol and the anti-eco, but we werent going down easy. We managed to bring it back and although it went to overtime, the ladder part of the game was never close. We won the game 15-13. I had a statline of 30/15/7 map two.

Week 4 - Ascent
Map one we were scrambling to figure out roles last minute, I played Jett map one and without a solid plan, we got shit on 13-4 (sorry guys its the truth.) I ended up 7/15, my worst stats yet. Map two we swapped up roles completely, and @aToppHat played Jett, with me taking Sova this game. The results were drastically different, we started on defense and went up 7-5 at the half. The second half however, I was able to flex my calling and midrounding muscles. I helped call a near flawless half, with the team winning almost every fight. We ended the game at 13-6, an insane recovery after the prior game. I ended with a statline of 19/10/3.

This week will be week 5, im not sure what map it is, but with us only needing to play two games to qualify to playoffs, we are essentially secured a spot there. Please look forward to Prancer's Cloudberry Recaps, since he does a much better job then I do. I hope you all continue to support us through our premier journey!

CLOUDBERRYS WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS 1V1 ME RN

So does LEV beat G2? No... This game isnt linear.

due to budget restraints, we couldnt offer her the salary she wanted so she went to apex instead...

Bro saw Kamyk get replaced and had to lock in

these casters are enjoyable to listen to for a change. I hope they get more games!

SHOUTOUT THE CLOUDBERRIES FANS YALL REAL ONES
