Tbf, SEN has double the amount of trophies than an entire region

First step complete. Second step will be to catch up now

Huge congratulations to the Pacific region for your first international trophy. Also, GenG winning 2 massive tournaments in China in the past month is fucking hilarious

I’m glad you chose this. One of the best interviews in all of Valorant as an esport

That Ascent man. Probably one of the greatest comebacks I’ve ever seen

Reminds me of 2018 Team Liquid in CSGO

G2 get smoked by PRX, but I think they make a decent run in lowers

Boostio can have some stinkers too. That’s just the nature of being an IGL.

Top tier hotdogs are good, but even then, I’d still get more satisfaction out of even a lower quality pizza

You gotta be a fucking sicko to go with hotdog over pizza

Stinky

Stinky winky

At least GE and FURIA win maps unlike DFM lol

Send her a present (nuke her house)

Very bold to have your alias be SerialKiller

Those 7 points don’t mean anything for Shanghai. They’re only useful for Champions. Top 3 in playoffs is necessary

I’m honestly fine with the rebrand. Too many simple black and white logos. It’s not as good as the OG pink NRG logo, but it’s definitely an upgrade from the last one

Great movie

Well you’d be correct in that assessment since I’ve never played XCOM 2. I’ve heard good things about it though. Another big one that I gotta play is Monster Hunter Worlds since everyone and their mother loves that game plus the Iceborne expansion.

The definitive top 3:

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Witcher 3: Blood and Wine

Honorable mentions:

Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City
Dark Souls 1: Artorius of the Abyss
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla
Outer Wilds: Echos of the Eye
Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island
All of the Mass Effect 2 expansions
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (it’s not out yet, but you know that shit is gonna peak)

Well that doesn’t aspire confidence for them going forward. I really hope kickoff wasn’t a honeymoon phase.

The only hot take in this pickem is FPX > LOUD.

I’m not sure where you got this ranking but it’s a good list. I think Karon should be on here somewhere and I think forsaken is a bit overrated (he’s a great flex player, but his sentinel play leaves a lot to be desired). No tenz or tuyz is surprising.

I hadn’t thought about that. Interesting

So if G2 were to win playins, NRG vs LOUD would be impossible. But if SEN win playins, there’s a 50/50 chance at NRG vs LOUD?

Thank you for the incredible input

Does anyone know what the match ups in the playoffs would turn out to be depending on who wins the play in? (Both Americas and EMEA) Or is it all just random?

Exwarrior is a solid play-by-play caster. Sounds a lot like Harry from CS. Ash, however, is one of the worst color casters I’ve ever heard. Exwarrior needs a better partner.

Boostio is going to 100T, Demon1 and Ethan are off to NRG. Jawgemo and c0m are screwed over it seems

Good question

I get that, but why did Riot have to crunch these two continents together for one league? NA and SA deserve to be separate leagues. I fear the long term effects of keeping these leagues together is going to fuck over SA in particular really hard

I still can’t believe China gets a full fledged league of its’ own while North America and South America have to share a league.

Complete dogshit on mobile. Actually unwatchable for me

Probably because it has an anti-cheat that isn’t complete dog shit.

Bo1s suck ass

It’d suck if they win this and then go with wippie.

You know what. Forget about wippie! Just keep this team as is tbh.

I’m honestly surprised C9 even got 1 map considering this is Fnatic. That’s a win in my book.

Haven is goated. Ascent is a good map but it has grown rather stale. Either it or Breeze should be gone.

I think I get why this guy doesn’t get to work as an analyst at the main Riot events: https://x.com/lotharhs/status/1715807967352688816?s=46&t=X3rSyN9Bnd6SZjsBltvLoA

There were rumors of them importing an NA player so I don’t think it’s super out there

Bro this C9 roster is brand new. Actual copium here

Probably leaf

G2 jawgemo possibly off the table and KC potentially getting an NA import. Some spicy stuff

It’s not about me man. We just had Champs in LA. Other countries deserve a spotlight. I can always adjust my schedule for the time zone difference,

LA has the Americas League yet it still held Champs.
