coach typing in chat. oh no whatever we will do. like what is he typing? callouts in the middle of the round? xD

I have just witnessed steel Chamber diffing Wardell and I don't know what's real anymore. 23 kills HOLY

best team in the lower bracket
Rise beat them 2:0 and are also in lower bracket
?

I'm calling another multiple carry rounds by Wardell, but honestly who fucking knows what the end result will be? TSM play like ass, but T1 hasn't been THAT good yet imo. Could go either way. TSM tired but also warmed up and maybe hyped. T1 is a huge unknown imo. Gotta go to sleep though, 4AM :-)

Speedrunning one whole match

Wow

Yeah this team is definitely not it rn, idk if it's the lack of a good igl or bad coaching but they would be way better if someone kept them on a short leash. Like you can see the quality all of them have individually, but mfs just playing rankeds in here

Show me something that will make me change my mind then bro, because I haven't seen an ounce of strats in this game. TSM won purely off of Wardell insanely consistent OP and LG had about three dozen braindead plays leading into their loss. Every second round everyone playing solo, no trading, ranked level agression, I'm quite certain half of the rounds each side won were throws by the other team. Nice aim and terrible Valorant all around, any of these teams will absolutely crumble against anything resembling T1 teams

I'm sorry but this match is so fucking awful. Entertaining, yes, but besides that there is absolutely nothing to either of those teams.

TrollDespair the bind incident

I'd say it's just a glorified ranked game but it's not even that it's just a ranked game wtf bro

Objectively TSM look like they have zero strats besides "run it down, wardell kill". I can't see how this shit works against any remotely organized team, but maybe they have something up their sleeves lol

This lineup actually lowkey fire. AWARIA and Finest possibly strong or at least decent T2 teams already with potential to be even better. Anonymo and NMDM showed themselves to be really strong as well in VCT qualifiers. Straight Outta Retirement absolute banger roster and don't know much about the other 3 but obviously Lewandowski best striker in the world so I expect great things. They didn't 2:0 everyone including Finest for no reason did they.
Will definitely watch

poland stronk

idk starki now has incognito in his name but is not here (?)

????????????

molsi = insane

4 more drops incoming i guess :D

dropped patitek for this lmao

evil indonesia MWAHAHAHA

For whom, Indonesian NRG fans?

So Gambit is the better team, because they huffed and puffed, barely beating KRU - and not Acend, who swept Liquid (who beat KRU 2-0 btw) and who were made to be the favorites to win it all?
Makes sense bro.
"Not showing up" can just be Acend shutting them down with a perfect read.

no zeek, cringe list

I honestly think that Acend from today might have been one single best performance over two maps from a Valorant team ever on that level. However, these things tend to happen, replicating them is the hard pard. With the pressure of the final and the history of their mental, I find it hard to believe they will play that well again. It's not to say they won't win, they very well might. But not as easily. Today they simply didn't make any mistakes. I caught like 2 or 3 minor ones that were more due to having such a huge lead and becoming a bit careless than anything else.

Haha funny belgian man taps heads. He's not the best purely because his presence in the team requires the whole team to play for him. Makes them completely unflexible. He can frag out, but players who are more flexible such as keznit (who does almost just as well on cypher for example), chronicle, zeek or even L1NK should be rated way higher than someone who's just a fraggy boy.

You know Acend is on fire when cned is their 3rd fragger. But imo zeek+cned fragging is all that team needs, the other 3 are just fine doing their supportive/clutchy clutchy job. It's great they can win in such a strong fashion "without him" though. Really shows power in the team.

Keznit, Chronicle and zeek equally on top in my opinion. I feel Chronicle or zeek will get the award, since they are so massive in very important rounds, depending on who wins the tournament tomorrow, although personally I think Keznit was the best overall. Man is a beast. Maybe he will get it? I don't know how Riot gives those awards away, if winning/being a finalist is not a necessary fact he might get it.

Liquid was so bad Acend didn't even need to activate cned LMAO

woah

JAZDA Z KURWAMI PATRYCZEEEEEK EZ

Neither of Derke/Keznit in plat chat top 20 btw, serious channel btw

Wtf does shambolic mean in that context can anyone enlighten me lol

LULW

This comment gave me a brain-eating amoeba and now I'm retarded

That makes sense, but surely after 1,5 years the rest can already figure out timings and stuff like that?
Edit: on their own OR with another player who's good at it but also at shooting

70 ADR sounds like something a silver player could probably get in these lobbies just by sheer luck and baiting, ngl

How the shit is bonkar still in this team? His input outside of kills must be insane because it's ridiculous that a player with that level of skill is up there playing in a TOP 5 EU team. Is there really no other free players who would be willing to do what he is doing, but better? Lol.

Lothar is decent imo

That was painful even from a neutral perspective lol. TL look m a s s i v e

Bonkar is a gold player tho dude

NA OMEGALOL

Are you braindead? XD

yeah bro for sure bro

Couldn't FNATIC just disband so that teams that actually deserve it go to Champs? Lmao

lmao

There's no way you're saying that lmao. 100T barely made it through what was currently easily the worst EU team remaining in the competition.

we are fucking shit <3

So far there hasn't been a single not disappointing game from EU region lol. Maybe G2

I think they can also win if zeek pops off or starxo pops off, to be fair. It really depends on the opposition. Today so far the whole team is just underperforming imo, although they seem to have sort of woken up a bit now

Edit: 4 of them were 0-4 for after round 4 lmao

So your seed follows you all the way into the tournament? Feels dumb o_O

Quick noob question: why does VS get first map pick in that game? Aren't they "equal"? Both won first games. I don't understand the format
