I know but the point is these teams make the strats look terrible. There's a difference between copying strats and understanding them while making them your own. There's a reason why optic is the only team that ran so much neon because it matches their players and their strengths. Because 1 team is good at it doesn't mean it's an actual good comp in general. So many teams suffer from trying to force unique comps because it once found an instance of success but it ends up sucking cuz it doesn't match their players or team at all.

Please don't tell me emea has turned into a copy optic on fracture and do the same 2 strats simulator

oh no bbl is going to throw again, aren't they ...

This gameplay is even worse than vrl I apologize to the Spanish community for calling ur league shit

This might end up being the worst group in emea history

What was that? How is this challengers level gameplay

Bro what is Navi doing. This is the r most clueless gameplay I’ve seen in years

People kinda forget how big of favoured match up guard vs 100t should be. Like months ago it was impressive when teams like knights and guard took maps convincingly from teams like c9 and they were playoff teams. Literally the newest team ever that hasn’t proven anything taking maps from the defending NA champ week 1 should be an accomplishment. Just depends on if guard is warmed up or not ig. A confident guard should be able to plow 100t at this moment in time and if they can’t dk what excuses they could have other than people just know what they do. Guard could have some nerves maybe feeling the need to prove some people wrong but idk.
2-0 guard
2-1 lg

Cry is free. NA Kekw. Land of cheeseburger and hotdog

I remember when the most impressive thing in Valorant was akukhos breach stunning split b heaven with a nade or wtv.

Give him some slack. Basically was forced to switch to Valorant and has done way more in Valorant than 99 percent of any person in the scene. He's probably just considering it. If he wins champs or berlin he's probably going to stay cuz any success could change his mind but if he goes back to cs he goes back. He's still young and he's good at both games it's his choice.

fuck bro I went to the convenience store during half time break and they score 2 mins in

ok

I understand he has a fair point of view but bro this guy is the biggest stat andy I've ever seen. His top 5 players world would be tenz, yay, leaf, cryocells and derke

Can't believe TSM threw this match.

In my eyes as a new Tottenham fan this is literally the most important match i've ever watched. Fuck the ucl final, who cares Liverpool will choke. Apparently, it's better for the EPL in general if Arsenal makes it and it's delusional to think Tottenham will make it over Arsenal as 4th. I know the only way Tottenham makes it is if Arsenal loses this fixture and loses/ties an extra game. Then it's just up to Tottenham to clean up the rest of the games but they'll probably end up choking to Norwich or something. What are your expectations? Is this a 100 percent loss now that Tottenham has lost Romero too?

Group a: nrg, guard, xset, 100t, ghost and tsm
Group b: c9, optic, faze, lg, eg and sentinels
C9 wins and guard qualify as second. If guard can’t make it it’s because xset upset them just to lose in 4th place or guard just lose match1

Half of these teams can’t even make top 32 in a full opens. Literally t4 how can u watch these games and think they’re good.

0.85 1600

Yeah fr like blahst on virtuoso too or any of the ex p1 players

I stg if chakaron and stallion duo they’re gonna become the next big Valorant ranked “duo”

would u guys rather have leaf and zekken or sayaplayer and trent

Yeah literally terrible. My sens too high for this 20 mile fucking radius map. 1 person not picking viper, sova/wtv or jett just loses you the game cuz that's how it is.
Normal competitive is fine if u have a chill team but for dm, it's just kinda annoying.

Everyone in NA that isn't c9 or optic is overrated. Teams like eg and ghost are underrated. Literally everyone else in the group stage is basically in the same tier. The only thing that is distinguishable between them is clout and playstyle(NA playstyles tho). Even optic is a tad bit overrated cuz of a fluke tourney like literally ridden by extraneous variables.

who even are like 60 percent of these people

Yeah that should be the main goal for them but hope they make reasonable goals. If they make top 8 or 6 it’s a good start to a new team as long as they just take it as a learning opportunity and come back stronger. There is still lcq and as said multiple times this 100t project with the new management is a longterm project where they are basically just creating the foundation for it at the moment.

He’ll get his weekly 10 kills and head out. Kinda hard to get kills tho if everyone’s already dead to be fair

C9
Optic
Faze
Lg
Eg
Sen

Sen and faze are swappable

Xset gets first in groups by literally getting the most lucky timings ever. The rng gods will bless ayrins spectre spray and cryo will get a minimum of 15 4ks. All that just to lose in play off semis and get 4th after only beating lg in lowers.

Nrg 2-0

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.
