The format also fucked T1 and NRG, who were -- at the time -- better than Gen.G and SEN, respectively.

Are we gonna say that for every big team that didn't make a tournament? Teams win and lose. If neither T1, NRG, nor FNC made it, then it's due to their own shortcomings.

We accept Gen.G as the successor to DRX.

I was disappointed that T1 didn’t make Madrid but I think they’d struggle here. Gen.G look phenomenal, especially Karon, and Munchkin is doing T1 proud.

T1 will catch up, but Gen.G are just better.

No one isn't "the worst," but I consider mindfreak not on par with the rest of the players. Hot take.
Gen.G for sure
Everyone got equal shots

DFM Melofovia.

You can argue that most of DFM's signings have been... mid to say the least.

But Melofovia, as a player and as a coach, has been AWFUL.

I have no idea what he brings to the table except for mediocrity and lacklustre results.

He's way more flexible, having played both duelist and smokes.

He can have off days but his peaks are top 10 china level.

No, if LOUD lose in the first match, they’ll play against the one of the losing teams in the other three matches.

posted 2 weeks ago

First round is normal matches

Second round is the two winners (top) and the two losers (bottom). The winner of the top matches moves on to playoffs and the loser of the top goes to round 3. Conversely, the loser of the bottom matches is out and the winner moves to round 3.

The four remaining teams will play in round 3 to lock up the last two playoffs spots.

I’d rather see LOCK//IN rematches

KC vs FPX: the chance for FPX to prove themselves and for KC to certify their continued dominance.

LOUD vs Gen.G: two teams with a lot of pedigree but can Gen.G win against the veteran team of LOUD?

Not LOCK//IN rematches but great matches nonetheless.

EDG vs PRX: two of Asia’s best teams but can PRX come back from their slump or will EDG take first blood?

SEN vs TH: two teams with incredible fanbase support. This is SEN’s time to shine, and for TH to prove they deserve to be here.

He was a top pick for both DFM and ZETA, but DFM showed more interest.

He rejected both teams because he wanted to win Ascension with FENNEL.

this was very sloppy from SZ. Credit to SG, they played very well, especially with their teamplay.

But SCARZ... surely they can be better.

As much as I want the twins to fry, SCARZ SHOULD win this. If they don't, there is something terribly wrong going on with the team.

Insane game.

After REJECT’s performance last week, this’ll be a good test whether they are the real deal or if IGZ are bad.

2-1 SZ

posted 1 month ago

IGZIST 0-2 FENNEL

Map 1: Sunset (13-5 FL)

  • Hear me out; FL looked uncharacteristically sloppy on their attack half. Yes, on their 10-2 attack half on Sunset.
    • Rounds 5, 7, 10 and 11 were questionable
    • So many ego peeks
    • Really strange aim fights
    • Giving up early advantages
  • IGZIST didn't look better on attack, though
  • FL still closed out defense relatively comfortably

Map 2: Ascent (13-4 FL)

  • FL are very good on Ascent
  • Ban Ascent against FL
  • Insane snowballs on both defense and attack
  • SyouTa is very good at Valorant

VARREL 2-0 Murash Gaming

Map 1: Breeze (13-10 VL)

  • Breeze? In my VCL Japan?? It's rarer than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon since many teams are inclined to ban it
  • Zepher once again played a pseudo-duelist role and looked pretty good, honestly
  • The tech pauses seemed to hurt both teams' momentum
  • Million and Tonbo tried to bring the game back (Round 20....)

Map 2: Lotus (13-6 VL)

  • Keep in mind, this is the map where MRSH embarrassed NTH 13-1 last week
  • MRSH's defense nowhere looked as good as last week, minimal synergy and trades
  • Tonbo tried his best again
  • Million couldn't find a solution for MRSH
  • xnfri is back. Freed from DFM.

Sengoku Gaming 2-0 NORTHEPTION

Map 1: Sunset (13-5 SG)

  • NTH looked lethargic on attack, except for Thiefy.
  • Jinboong is also very good at Valorant
  • Gatorada was an unsung hero
    • Good smoke coverage
    • Good util usage, especially with retakes
  • I may have severely underestimated Sengoku

Map 2: Ascent (13-8 SG)

  • Extremely good defense half
    • The twins alone had 34 kills. That is equal to all of NTH combined.
  • Thiefy was playing 1v9 on attack
  • There was some hope in NTH's defense, but it was short-lived.
  • There isn't much to say, but NTH should be better

Tomorrow's preds:
SCARZ 2-1 REJECT (GOTD)
VARREL 1-2 FENNEL
Murash Gaming 2-0 IGZIST

posted 1 month ago

This NTH team shouldn’t look this bad. They have two of the best aimers in Japan and a promising talent from Korea.

I know that NOBITA and Boong twin #1 Jin are great players, but damn.

Idk if I’m severely underrating Sengoku or overrating NTH.

To whoever did (or even does) job interviews and passed (or got unfortunately rejected in one instance), is it unprofessional to do the following:

  • To ask the position of your interviewer
  • To ask them to clarify the job despite researching about said job and reading the job description
  • To talk about your relative or associate whom the company currently employs you’re applying for
    • “Someone I know who works here interested me in applying for the job, and they told me a lot about it.”
  • To have a conversation with your interviewer normally (obviously without informal speech or mannerisms)
    • “The weather is X, huh? They say it’s going to get better/worse soon.”
    • “I hope your weekend went well”

Nah, I enjoy Icebox more than Bind.

Bind defense is one of the most depressing things in Valorant. Icebox honestly feels more creative and fluid than Bind.

I feel inclined to put Sengoku over IGZIST but i need to see whether IGZ is bad or if REJECT is the real deal.

VARREL 2-0 Sengoku Gaming

Map 1: Icebox (16-14 VL)

  • This map was like watching a game of tug-of-war
  • Boong twin #1 Gwang was pretty good
  • misaya is a bodyshot bandit
  • Bangnan was a beast, freed from initiator jail
  • xnfri certainly looked better than he did on DFM. Sorry.

Map 2: Bind (13-11 VL)

  • Boong twin #2 Jin was like Atlas, carrying his team on shoulders
  • Rainbow 6 fans might’ve been pleased with Gatorada’s performance
  • L0B found his footing with VL
  • Sengoku honestly had a good attack plan

NORTHEPTION 1-2 Murash Gaming

Map 1: Ascent (13-10 NTH)

  • Wolverine was sick on Jett; the 29 kills speak for themselves
  • Thiefy on duelist was great to see
  • Tonbo started warming up
  • MRSH’s attack was alright, but NTH shut their executes down pretty quickly

Map 2: Lotus (13-1 MRSH

  • Ban Lotus against MRSH
  • Here’s a summary of how MRSH played the map: aim better, and are apes together strong
  • Northeption, run a duelist next time. Thiefy is known for his Raze, and Pepper can play her too.

Map 3: Sunset (13-10 MRSH)

  • Despite losing, i really liked how Pepper’s util and timings were always on point
  • Biju and Tonbo were a deadly duo
  • Apparently Wolverine had a good Raze too
  • Yowamu had really questionable decisions
  • NTH built a steady momentum but cooled off a lot by the second half

Next week (D3W2) Preds:

IGZIST vs FENNEL (FL 2-0)
VARREL vs Murash Gaming (2-1 MRSH)
