Liquid plays so well under pressure

Just as predicted.

Its not an excuse. They literally went 2-10 against FF on their first map and still ended up winning that. Yesterday against SMB they sucked d on first map, but started dominating on 2nd map (yes it got closer at end, but they only needed 3 rounds and had momentum). 3rd map could have gone either way.

This re-schedule fucked them as I predicted. They always start slow and now doesn't have enough rounds to start rolling.

I wouldn't be surprised if they won 2-0 tbh. FPX has to win 3 rounds before SMB wins 6. That would already be an achievement for FPX based on their last 2 games. I'm really hoping for 3rd map though.

So unlucky for FPX though. They clearly need some time before their machine starts running like against FF (2-10 first half and still made a comeback) and yesterday against SMB. Now the opponents are on a match point and there's only few rounds to be played. I wouldn't be surprised if SMB just speedruns the 6 rounds today.

It was still 1v1. Either one could have won that.

Currently EMEA gets 4 slots total. I don't think giving NA 1 slot more is fair. Sentinels winning Reykjavik doesn't make the whole region better. EU and NA go hand in hand when it comes to rest of the teams.

How can you say that 1v1 wasn't close? That doesn't make any sense.

Its streamed on 2nd channel not main, because SEA games were played on main when EMEA started. A lot of people don't follow 2nd, 3rd and 4th valorantesports channels. For example NA 2nd games are usually streamed on Nerdstreet channels.

FPX looks so lost most of the time. Kind of how they looked against Team Liquid is Masters 2. Just sneaking around map and getting picked one by one.

2 EU slots would be pretty unfair if NA gets 3 IMO. Both should be 3.

(plus) 1

How do you determine "star player"? People who have bunch of viewers on Twitch? That shouldn't matter in pro games... NA has always been about individuals while EU about teams. Even in CSGO.

Who was ranking them high? I think it was pretty clear that they are like 5th best team in Europe after their performance in Challengers week 1 and 2. Acend, G2, Guild, FPX are all better on paper currently. TL share 5th spot with Giants and Fnatic. No hate towards them though.

I mean Sentinels in NA (at least prior to Iceland) and Sentinels in Iceland are 2 different things. They played so much better.

Yeah and TL won the second map. They played 2 maps and ended up 1-1

I think all T1 EU teams are full of EU players, outside of couple.

ScreaM, he is just too damn good. MVP Farmer.

Logitech G Pro Wireless or Superlight are way to go. They are costly, but worth it.
