I just got back from cooking dinner so I missed Lev’s attack half. WHAT HAPPENED??? Did NRG just have a good read on Lev’s strategy? Lev couldn’t shoot? Can someone please explain

I’d probably lean Patmen because of how impactful he was at Toronto. He came up huge in several key moments

It depends HOW the weaker team beats the stronger one. A bad team playing poorly beating a good team playing horribly doesn’t look good for the region

I hope so too, I’d much rather see them than DRX

He’s definitely been pretty good, but he won’t get that level of recognition because he isn’t super flashy like a Sato, but also not as much team success like Patmen. He deserves credit though

I think it’s close but G2 has won the h2h matchup over and over, so I need to see Sen win to believe it

Oh lol all good

I didn’t think you were talking about TL? And also TL technically haven’t yet

TH abyss at least looked decent against EDG, they just lost double pistol. -Icebox +Abyss might end up being net positive for TH

Gotta make champs first before you can worry about map rotation

Ruxic is an animal and they’re playing off each other well. The Alexiik op kill into Ange1 swinging first to kill Miniboo was really nice. The more I watch them the more I hope they make Champs

Totally agree

Same thing that happened at Toronto, they just randomly start looking completely clueless

There’s always at least 1 team you don’t expect who will turn up

What does saying PRX would dog walk FNC have to do with RRQ? PRX already beat them and have been looking just as good, if not better than Toronto. FNC have been looking worse since Toronto.

CN production is best, APAC is most competitive

I’m pretty sure PRX would dog walk this version of FNC. I’d also favor G2 against them

Scrim is not the same as actual matches though, it doesn’t give as accurate of a reflection on how good certain comps/strategies are

S1mon*

I don’t think 3 weeks is enough time to fix your entire map pool, especially without games against other good teams to test new comps on

Tbf Crashies has been playing individually pretty decently

Players could develop psychological problems/struggles over time though. You never know what could also be going on in their personal lives that is hurting their performance and focus

I would keep that locked away for Sacy

Losing would mean 3 seed, which could make it harder to get out of groups. It means you could get G2 or PRX in your group (also depending on how you view BLG), and 2 seeds like RRQ/talon, DRG (unknown), and Sen

(Sen or G2 could be 1st or 2nd seed so you could swap)

Watching this team would cause a migraine

I really hope they both do well. BLG is looking like a better version of their previous iterations, and DRG can write whatever narrative they want at Champs since they are newcomers

Unlucky I just did twice in 20 mins

Fair enough, but most low seeded teams are not as individually talented as PRX.

Oh yeah that’s dumb, I think they can just get out of groups off of mechanics alone

FNC does look shaky though. Even when they play the map poorly, they get bailed out constantly by being more individually talented than most teams

I 100% agree, they should be trying hard to finish 1st or 2nd. They definitely don’t want to end up in a group with G2 or PRX if avoidable

TL winning it would be hell

Fair enough

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure Abyss is rotating in. Was Fnatic good at that map in the past?

Play 20 games of ranked then pass out from exhaustion

If there is I’m struggling to find it

Should be a fun game to watch

Lev 2-1
100T 2-1

They cannot make it. They are currently in 4th in champs points and even if Sen and G2 are the grand finals, someone has to come 3rd. Whoever comes 3rd would get champs points and therefore qualify over Kru

You have no counter argument and don’t watch cn so we should “agree to disagree”. If you’re gonna give your option on teams at least watch them play, otherwise it’s obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about

Their Ascent comp was meta, their corrode comp clearly works, they had the exact same comp today on lotus as PRX runs, their Haven comp is similar too, and I believe their bind comp is the same as PRX.

Also, arguing that they don’t have to players to run it is just not true. All that needs to happen is for KK to become more comfortable on Yoru. All 4 other players are in their natural roles.

Obviously they are not as good as they were in champs 2024. They’re not shit either, BLG are just a really good team. You clearly don’t watch anyways

It was a bit sloppy but 100T looked a lot better than the previous game. Kess also looked a lot more comfortable

There’s no point in arguing with you then, it’s just a stupid take.

Horrible meta read? They play almost the same comps as PRX, and their Ascent comp was one of the most common meta comps. You have no clue what you’re talking about, and it’s obvious you don’t watch CN…

This has to be ragebait, according to you every valorant watcher is a brainless idiot who knows nothing and can’t see any mistakes

Chinese 3rd team is EDG, not exactly an easy opponent

IMO Americas 3rd and 4th seeds are worse than all 4 APAC teams, at least top 2 CN teams, and maybe all 4 EMEA teams

Remove Yay too. He’s good for an occasional chamber highlight play but that’s mostly it. He’s not good nor flexible enough

It’s called having eyes lol
