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.
riot leaked it to me beforehand
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.

holy Japan cope
FENNEL's perfect stage
FL 2-0
KC
FPX (they aren't bad, but everyone else is just better)
N4RRATE
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.
:sob: just can’t find time, maybe will focus more on the playoffs :’)
I’ll tell you that REJECT is the favourite here, but VARREL will put up a fight.
Wait just realized that Flor neg-diffed not only Supernova, but also her sister, Avery.

Flor unironically smurfing.
56-9. +47 KD.
Spring imo.
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.
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.
Duelist: Zekken
Flex: Dep
Sentinel: Laz
Controller: iZu
Initiator: Biank
Coaches: Engh and Potter
This team might go hard.
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.
EDG
FPX
DRG
TEC
WOL
JDG
TE
BLG
NOVA
AG
TYLOO
Wolves fry, Spring fries, aluba shows that he's the next controller player up.
WOL 2-0
1200 x 0.5
yes, 600 eDPI.
Anything below 400 feels really slow to me.
Moner, Winteryrook, and sickrey count as eligible players since they participated in at least one split of MENA last year.
Yet another SyouTa masterclass.
This effectively locks in FL’s spot for not only playoffs but also the next split.
My goat Spring is finally on a functional team where he doesn’t have to 1v9.
WOL 2-1
Finish Vinlandsaga S2
Start Apothecary Diaries
Also start 91 Days and Dead Mount Death Play
Surely SZ don't lose again.
Clueless
SZ 2-1
Clueless
Yes, very.
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.
that being said, best game of the split
DIA 2-0

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.
SZ 2-1
Dplus 3-0ing T1 at worlds with Thanatos
Yoshii is a Japanese resident homie
Good bounce back game for MRSH
2-0 MRSH
Clean 2-0 FL
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
IGZIST 0-2 FENNEL

Tomorrow's preds:
SCARZ 2-1 REJECT (GOTD)
VARREL 1-2 FENNEL
Murash Gaming 2-0 IGZIST
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.
Easy clean 2-0 for FENNEL
To whoever did (or even does) job interviews and passed (or got unfortunately rejected in one instance), is it unprofessional to do the following:
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.
LockM should play instead of shameless imo
Regardless, JDG 2-0
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)
Map 2: Bind (13-11 VL)
NORTHEPTION 1-2 Murash Gaming
Map 1: Ascent (13-10 NTH)
Map 2: Lotus (13-1 MRSH
Map 3: Sunset (13-10 MRSH)
Next week (D3W2) Preds:
IGZIST vs FENNEL (FL 2-0)
VARREL vs Murash Gaming (2-1 MRSH)
Sengoku Gaming vs NORTHEPTION (2-0 NTH)
VL 2-0
Boong twins and NOBITA need to carry to win, which might be a hard ask.
A player named Mads on a team called MAD.
