aimlab was giving away tickets for the event some weeks ago, I guess they just deleted it because it hadnt been made official yet and it was basically a leak

that doesnt matter, europe is a really small place, people from all over europe would go to denmark for the event

so? people will travel from all over europe and possibly from other continents to go watch the event, you could host an event in luxembourg and people would still go

difference is that he is surrounded by 4 players with valorant lan experience, also no offense to trent but alfajer is way better than him individually lol, its very rare that players of alfajer caliber struggle to adapt to lan

the difference is: optic needs to be in TOP form or their playstyle crumbles, generally emea top teams the way they are structured is that if you are in TOP form its a big plus but if you are in superb form it doesnt affect them as much, optic crumbles with mid form, emea top teams crumble with m3c vs liquid chronicle throwing stim beacon to dreamas type of form

I am mainly talking about them in Challengers 1/masters1, havent watched NA this split but I dont really care about what sliggy says, he is too much of a nice guy, he wont say in a stream what he really thinks or what flaws there is with their gameplay, its only me that thinks this about optic, high tier analysts have pointed this out for months, even in 2021, its not really a flaw because you can still win if you are in top form but if not you are fucked, sliggy only really explains some general macro/micro aspects of who he is analyzing in an easy way for an unknowledgable audience, he never goes in-depth with the way the other teams fundamentally play imo

you dont even know the meme.... disappointing

I arent click that

this is very macro, they have understanding of how to play the game but at the end of the day they are heavily relying on 50/50 fights

some1 sign al0rante or I riot

imo their playstyle seems to rely very heavily in winning 50/50 duels so its gonna be hit or miss in high pressure scenarios like masters, I think fnatic would wipe the floor with them atm and guild/fpx/acend/m3c could beat them, they are a great team but overhyped, btw they have never won a map against european teams, I think this is kinda normal since their playstyle works well against teams who are not that tactical/fundamentally good as european teams but again european teams it will hardly work

REMINDER TO EVERY1 OF HOW FAR AHEAD EMEA WAS IN CHAMPS, MASTERS 1 THEY WERE HARD NERFED, MASTERS 1 TEAMS ARENT THAT GOOD, ITS JUST AN ILLUSION

delusional lmao

have a chance to beat optic? lol, they havent even qualified yet, its not like they are the best team, just got lucky no fnatic/fpx/gambit is iceland, you are talking as if they are unbeatable or something

every region is a 1 team region except europe, I think only loud can worry a full strenght emea

fadezis #1 FPX dickrider

liquid lol

unluko, too hard to carry those bots, I hope he gets teammates worthy of playing with him, apex and misutaa man, these 2 are so bad

just wait...

about to get shown levels by goatwoo, s1mple can only win with the best team!!! zywoo carrying dogmuta and oldpex to grand finals 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

you do, if you dont think derke and other personalities are behaving like clowns you are mad

bad map from them but they are fundamentally great

big example of this is yinsu, never seen her harass some1 who has done something bad like all the other sheeps on twitter do, she always tells how its not okay and how we need to do better, thats a good way of knowing who is actually a good person who can take a moral highground and a bully like derke, easiest way to bully these days is being on the moral highground instead of being a straight up asshole

he does this all the time tho, every time he does it he is a dick to the other dude, that doesnt make you better than them, also its kinda funny he says this to kamo and when he posts his response and shows the girl is just as bad he ofc wont say shit to her, double standards, you simply cant take a moral high ground if you are gonna shit on the guy that did something wrong and didnt hurt anybody, if you are gonna take the moral high ground at least be kind and try to tell kamo that is not okay, the fact kamo did something wrong doesnt give you a reason to be toxic to him, you dont fix a wrong with another wrong simple as that

https://twitter.com/derkeps/status/1538487620036186114 the guy is good at a video game and thinks he can take a moral high ground lmao, calm down m8 you are just good at clicking heads you are nobody to behave like clown, probably wouldnt say shit at LAN either, he is lucky there is 3 LANs a year in valorant, had he stayed in cs he wouldnt be saying shit

they will get better with time, european kids just try to be edgy in their teens

his gf is also insane, weird that they started this drama, they seem made for eachother lmao

he needs to stop trying to go for stupid flicks and hit the easy shots but he is not overrated, unreal talent, niko needs too much space to shine so its obviously gonna be hard for monesy to shine too much atm, idk if he will reach zywoo/s1mple levels because what really sets those 2 apart is unhuman gamesense and atm he is nowhere near those 2 in that aspect, mechanically he is close tho

derke, not close

agree to disagree

should be able to, russian players have been able to attend events in csgo, also if I am not wrong restrictions on giving russians visas were lifted in denmark

are we watching the same matches? every team expect Liquid in playoffs looks really solid and even then liquid have players that are good enough to beat minors regions just on firepower

many players like that, I dont agree with this narrative of only mentioning players with international experience on best players list

this kid about to show the world why emea fans say he is one of the best itw, they are not ready for this beast

they need an experienced igl, with great experienced from cs if possible, most igls atm are more like startcallers, no deep understanding of the game, also they dont need a fragging igl so they could try to take koldamenta and possibly others from guild if they dont make franchising

its true tho, guild cant make lan, simulation admins would never let that happen

not so sure if they will make the lower bracket run... fpx will probably destroy every1 there, also watch m3c hit a new godlike form and destroy guild, guild making it to lan would break the simulation, admins wont let it happen kid

nukkye? I dont think so, he would be malding in NA, he always wakes up at 8-10 to stream and practice before scrims, he is too much of a proffesional, he would lose his mind in NA

I hope they dont keep hoody and nukkye if they get into NA league, would be a big loss for europe

got braindamage, ty

he hasnt been underperforming, he is just a decent player, not bad not spectacular, he has been performing exactly how you expect him to perform

neither of them play star roles like them tho, I agree that derke is by far the best itw but chronicle and nats are on par if not better than yay

European final again. Gambot, Fnatic and FPX too strong

this would be too op ngl

nah, it wasnt a meta problem, they just looked fucking dogshit individually, couldnt hit shots and decision making was so off

1. fpl is just for pros to pug, not a tournament or anything
2. nerd street is tier999 TOs XD

so true, same teams from minor regions who qualified for international tournaments first and were able to get experience against eu teams have a big advantage in terms of experience to other teams from their region, it will take a long time before some1 can actually challenge them since those teams in the minor regions dont have the same experience

I think you are underrating FPX, I think they have looked very good in groups, their loss to fnatic was kinda weird since map1 they were playing troll comps, map 2 they destroyed fnatic and map3 it was close, they lost to acend too with some troll comps in a match that was basically pointless since it was just for seeding (it would have benefited them if they had won it tho, so its kinda weird that they played those comps/maps).
Their path to masters now is: Match against liquid which they should 100% win and then a hard game against who imo are the clear best team itw in fnatic but its still going to be close 100% and they have a chance on winning, if they were to lose they just have to beat m3c who seem to be very off atm and one of guild/acend/liquid

"this is God's way of punishing you as you're not following his plan" whoever said that is max 90iq

not a slur

every1 knew alfajer, there is no scouting there, they just were smart enough to pick him up regardless of experience or english
