Today has been a sad day for me, for years i've covered my ears and hid my head when people have said SEN fans are the most retarded in valorant. But after seeing today's reactions to the YEARLY INDIVIDUAL Americas awards i realize that i was the retard all along for giving them the benefit of the doubt

OXG has been the Achilles heel of MxS for 2 years straight now its tragic

when was the last time yall won something

call me overconfident but i dont think we have much to worry about anyway. I think NA T2 is pretty fucking insane right now, especially considering our ascension team is literally going to champions right now, our teams will stomp damn near every other T2 pretty easily i think. Hoping MXS gets the spot

Yeah i fear they'll still freeze up against the big teams like they did before, but who knows. Valyn is a great IGL and he along with the rest of the core have been able to adapt to several different climates and still thrive

Old reliable G203, they're like 30 dollars and perform super well

Yeah my fault mixed up the tournaments, ty for the correction

At this point wtf do these guys have to do to not get shit from the community? Grinded out of ascension, made Shanghai, ended 3rd place ITW, Go back home and domestically win every game. They've done everything short of just winning a LAN outright yet i see them get more hate than some other teams i won't name who've been in T1 for much longer with the same or less achievements

i do think its fair to point out that boaster has also always had an extremely strong roster of veterans while valyn and the rest of TGRD core were new comers

I'm a little late because i haven't been able to watch games for the last few weeks and result pages alone don't tell the full story. But are the best core rosters of 2022 officially dead? I see Navi, NRG and Loud didn't make champs again. Only team qualifying from that years top 4 being DRX who has a near entire new roster. I haven't been able to see the start of a lot of esports so seeing the old big cores fade out like this makes me a bit sad

Yeah not entirely sure why G2 is still so heavily underrated. They went into last tournament as one of 2 ascension teams to make it and ended 3rd. Since then they haven't lost a match regionally, not sure what else they could do right now to change peoples opinions

fair enough i'll let you talk your shit but lets not act like it hasn't been a year since an EMEA team lifted a trophy

what is the point of this thread

Banger match

holy shit all you do is talk about tenz and NA. this much dick riding cant be healthy, especially since everytime you talk they fucking put your head in the dirt

that would be nice tbh, i think VLR should be more integrated into Val esports like HLTV is to CS. even things like the top 20 players of the year would be kinda cool to see.

what are we even basing this off of? both are on fire rn how about we just wait until they play each other first?

In all seriousness NA has too many great players and not enough T1 spots so i'm glad he found a home in EMEA

Seeing teams go back and fourth in bantering on stage is so refreshing to see, valorant has been missing this imo

You guys dont live in the real world

fnatic fan try not to make everything about them challenge

black people definitely play val wtf do you mean bro, its just massive in the black community yet because pc gaming isnt

ok lets relax a little bit, there are wealthy parts of Africa that can afford pc's and internet. And most black american families contrary to popular belief can afford nice things, PC gaming just isn't advertised a lot to us until we get older.

Best case scenario imo
2 great matches (hopefully)
EG new roster facing a real challenge
NRG vs SEN will be a shootout and a treat for the fans

This is true, not many of us play on PC when i switched from PS4 to PC i ended up buying a PS5 because most of my friends refused to put the money into a PC and switch. I'd personally love to see more representation in the league but console is still the current meta for black people

i personally dont understand having this much inter-regional hate, but cook ig

bro why didnt yall have all this smoke for fnatic fans? They were even more annoying and they flamed the fuck outta sen after lock/in

now we need FNS casting a 100T game

Surely we don't mean aspas? who hasn't that guy dogwalked

i'm curious as to what valorant fans consider almost losing to be? if 13-10 and 13-8 is almost losing i guess you have to diff the other team by +7 rounds

Guy was so underrated in NA hope he makes a name for himself in EMEA

I miss it bro, like yea we've had some repeat matches here and there but we have no rivalry like Loud vs Optic, everytime those two teams played the stakes were high for one reason or another.

I think Victor is probably one of the most underappreciated players in the world, he's typically a background player and he has had his moments of being inconsistent but the guy is never talked about outside of his mistakes.
