2-1 lg

Yeah and I just basically copied the order of what it is on vlr rn but just switched 100t and tsm.

group a in order: xset, guard, nrg, 100t, ghost and tsm
group b in order: c9, optic, faze, lg, eg and sen

edit: nvm too generous to tsm switched ghost and tsm

Dk if it’s good for 100t to match up against guard early or not. Because they’ll definitely improve and learn a lot from playing a good team early but there’s also a chance that an improved 100t later in the season could upset guard. There’s also the perspective of how 100t could learn way more from the mistakes of an actually developed stratbook etc when maybe there might be literally close to nothing to learn playing a match with days of practice in a new patch.

Bo1s are literally the worst and dumbest thing u could ever make teams do in valorant

I agree

I miss old classic and old run n gun. Only reason I got kills and now I have to actually aim. Crazy

Everyone that isn’t top 2 in each region overrated + loud

I guess a couple good keshi songs will keep you entertained for a couple weeks but
my fav song rn is this for some reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6R-wBSj7PU&ab_channel=ChillOnly

think they're going like zekken jett on maps chamber is good so cryo can just play chamber and bcj is starting to play more flex agents? I think?

At least were consistent COPIUM. Actually happy to be there since everyone else can barely even qualify ig.
It's actually crazy tho if the league franchises xset become the only team in the history vct in NA/EMEA to qualify and be apart of every regional event first. Literally always there atleast

Feel like he’s way more more important to xset than we think.
He’s not toxic bro he’s literally the definition of an average joe and he’s pretty chill. Cuz he’s not some braindead gamer and reacts like how a normal person would react doesn’t mean he’s toxic. Man was literally the face of how xset played for a year before cryo with that run n gun spectre. He’s literally the core and original member of xset. If xset has been consistent for so long and him and bcj have been in that team for that whole timeframe of consistency we kinda have to think about maybe what they bring to their team other than stats.
And bro what he’s such a nice guy. Actually have to be a consistent Sinatraa/prod enjoyer to think he’s not

Boring cuz nothing changes. Hope they can make themselves a little bit more différentiable other than just zekken and cryo go kill.

Yeah but from what I’m getting tho from a pros POV and maybe past couple tweets maybe teams like eg and faze are actually fucking scrim demons and that’s why people are scared.
Been seeing eg associated with being good in scrims past couple weeks so

EU is better and Na is just delusional ngl. Iceland literally doesn’t matter just bragging rights. Win 2 champs fairly and NA is better
Edit: you would think emea is better if literally every NA player who has attended an international tourney somehow finds a way to say emea is better than Na in every interview

Is it just me or does group A seem more like group of death cuz it’s harder to guess who will be where like for every placement basically while group b is more harder to guess which teams will get grouped or nah cuz feel like it’s more top heavy

Group a: optic, xset, nrg, tsm, eg, ghost
Group b: guard, c9, faze, lg, 100t, sen

yeah but atleast 2 of them are gonna end up in the same group and 1 of them is gonna get pushed if not both. 100t make it through groups with how fast they're developing but feel like it's up to tsm and sen if they make it through or not. Just need to be consistent and improving.

... bro? Feel attacked ngl

one of tsm, 100t or sen is getting grouped and that's not even a hot take.

Like tenz not having an instant get out of jail card is gonna lose them half of the rounds tenz wins for them.
I am not sure if shahz/kanpeki is gonna play fade either whereas in other teams there are players that will probably like playing her. Removing sova from their comps when the roles and maybe agents they play are already fucked is just going to make roles even weirder.

Is it just me or does it feel like the new patch is gonna fuck up sentinels.

please stop the choke.

Would u rather watch a grand final of a riot sponsored event or 2 t2 teams playing to get another chance to qualify for a qualifier

nah yall just dumb only looking at the scoreboard. Kanpeki getting picked up doesn't change that sen has been constantly going down in trajectory. Zombs bottom fragging was never a problem for sen at their prime yall just used him as the scapegoat for why sentinels started losing. Literally, 2 support players who just do their job well and play for the team. They get out of so much from pure firepower but the problem is there are teams that just frag as decently if not more but also just have a better understanding of the game than sen. I get that people say just let Tenz do what Tenz does and just run it down but there's a reason why they lose with every little thing they do. People call the game random cuz teams like sen get upset but just literally stop peeking. Players constantly making t2/t3 mistakes in t1 Val and losing the game and people still complaining that the game is random. Dapr and Bdog have good decision making for example.
Nothing can ever be perfect but your goals should always be perfection and to keep it that way.
Kanpeki is a great player for his role.
Zombs is still an s-tier controller for NA. He was always bottom fragging anyway nothing changes that he's great with his role

Bro literally no one cares. They'll be back to moaning each others name's in pre scrim lobbies 3 weeks later. Just creating drama for something as common as a daily coffee in NA valorant.

TENZ BatChest

Nah but people don't understand like watch this guy's best players like holy. He is that level above "another t2 jett/chamber player'" mechanically like actually. People don't understand there are duelists in t1 that can be differentiated from the rest with their decision-making or/and literally mechanics just being better. The only problem right now is there isn't too much of a balance in the top players where someone is literally prime simple with 10 years of t1 experience in decision-making yet. Bdog seems to be the best one yet with actual good decision-making and being able to pop-off. Literally every other jett except maybe less than a handful of jetts just run it down, peek everything and just rush/forget too many situations. Maybe sometimes u won't see how talented a player like Bdog is because he decides to be a little more conserved compared to the other jetts but still.

huh eg just zoomed the next 2 maps? thought it was gonna take awhile

I'm starting to like you more every single day.

T1 will only qualify if they qualify

Holy fuck most boring pick-ems i've ever seen in my life

I have sacrificed my 4 stars for this.

UB:
100T
Knights
LB:
V1
BBG Academy

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/5c83fe74

yeah but like better than losing round 1 or not even making it into the open at all ig
edit: nvm they got first rounded

v1, knights, 100t and sen are favourites just cuz placements but fr geng, eg etc have potential to beat those teams once and that's basically all you need if you make it that far.

How big is the difference between the main league and gc in sa? LIke feel like the only team i've seen in opens is the liquid team in br and they've done decent I think right? Maybe it's just cuz they're one of the only teams that kinda get far but still. Is it considerable enough for t1 teams to not want to scrim the gc teams? Cuz ig it's valid in the end of the day if the teams just don't think they'll get decent practice against them. There are teams like c9 who'll scrim anyone basically but it makes sense for top teams to only want high-level scrims when possible. Then again feel like no one in br except maybe top 4 should be considered top teams even domestically.

oh man i forgot tenz existed mb. but dapr still has good decision-making. I think I took if they are a good player in general as more of a factor but then I just half-assed it like a stat andy and added some decent support players.

yeah but doesn't psg own talon or nah they're just a partner for league?

What's an oil club? Does that mean they're sponsored by oil companies and stuff? Or they just run by old greasy men or something.

Thought it was confirmed that they had a Filipino roster with a couple of Koreans in it? or is that some other team

feel like if you are hardworking you shouldn't be considered a paycheck stealer

It's true dapr has had rough stats for a while and pretty much hasn't looked at his peak for a bit. His decision making is still great tho aside from maybe some trolly things he's a good player. We can talk about stats but androids stats were pretty nice compared to tex's so probably has to be some internal things that affected who got removed for Ethan. Maybe he was just doing rougher in scrims compared to tex in the timeframe or tex brings more communication-wise inside the game. All is speculation but from what I know dapr is a pretty smart player who is probably way more important to sentinels internally than we think. Dk if he deserves more credit but think he does. Sentinels as a whole are slumping but feel like for the future of sentinels he has to end being the sacrifice or the igl of the team if they can't find a replacement. Only if shahz ends up leaving the roster. I'd trust him more than anyone else to be the igl and leader if he was given the opportunity.

nah i'm korean so by default just a fan of tottenham

Let's share our pain knowing they'll both never win anything. Unlucky

Actually cursed in the sense that it ends up being him who throws the most crucial rounds even when he's having insane games. The universe aligns to find the most impossible way for wardell to throw just veeeerrrrry unlucky. + every other player on tsm to be fair

I'm not that really informed about soccer but am excited about the match tomorrow. What should we expect from the match tomorrow as man city is already ahead in aggregate? I am a Tottenham "fan" so I only know a couple of players in Madrid and Benzema. Does Real Madrid have a chance? Will man city choke the lead? What are your preds?
Also, why does every Tottenham player succeed after they leave Tottenham?

fr didn't even know top 4 got to challengers 2 cuz they don't say anything. Tiebreaker soon too but good they are giving this award to the top players. Interesting that with the most korean teams signed up ever they are essentially fighting for the fewest spots available.
