never said they were bad???
Optic is actually a good team which is why they're exposing DRX

Each time they make a LAN and get a win or two, ppl start acting like DRX are valorant gods
In reality, their only strength is their set plays and support players like stax and mako
When they face a good team and aren't given the space to do whatever they want, they basically turn into a ranked team

i dont think its Rb thats the problem, its how they use him

and DRX was in a 12 team tournament last masters and only placed 6th

Nuturn did it without a superteam as well 🤷

This is the fourth LAN DRX has been to
and they still have yet to place higher than Nuturn in any of these events

DRX might finally get a win against NA pog

ty it took me a long time to find this thread

bump!

name checks out

V1 doesn't even have a full roster xd

...

idk why he put that unecessary pressure on himself

True don’t make fun of how he looks
Make fun of how he plays

Paper Rekt (idk if this one is positive or negative)

i see ur point, ig they just felt like they had leeway

weird way to spell XSET

but solo pushing c long and a short without any supporting util when the other team is defaulting is risky no?

they have both crazy aim and good strats, they’ll win at least one for sure

sure DRX won but they didn’t deserve it
pushing down mid and long every round when you have a 12-6 lead???
that’s basically asking to throw the game
they need to start learning from this shit

L take

either astra or viper imo

yes

call me a pro the way I play with balls

iron 3

NA: 100T
EU: M3C
SA: KRU
APAC: TS
East Asia: Nth

1. Marved
2. Mako
3. SugarZ3ro
4. Redgar
5. sScary

HM to pancada and koldamenta

Bring back 16 teams and make a group stage.
Loud didn't deserve this

havent felt this way since iceland last year

losing first in groups like always lmao

i would call stax many things but fraud would not be one of them

who y'all got

I thought there was supposed to be a crowd this Masters?

honestly wild that Fnatic haven't won a Masters yet. Maybe this time?

why not SEN shanks honestly, he's a tier 1 chamber

yes, they are the better team right now, I never said they weren't? I just meant that there was no point in saying they "died" for this, when it was in their control to qual over SEN

Y'all are acting like Riot played favorites and chose Sentinels to be in LCQ over Ghost, when they literally did not have enough points to make the tournament.

mad cause KR has zero val fans?

honestly would much rather watch SEN at this point

boo hoogland or whatever his name is made it seem like only t3xture, Esperanza, and exy are staying

rather they get bangnan tbh

bro is still stuck in 2021 💀

sounds like you just live in NYC dw ab it bro

IMO I think the most entertaining would be either:

DRX vs LOUD: they both are well-coordinated teams who minimize risk/mistakes, and individually there is no weak link on either side. I think this would be the most beautiful game of valorant ever played

or

Optic vs Fnatic: NA vs EU, we get to see Jimzo and yayster ball out, Derke gets a chance at redemption, TR has a reason to watch, Boaster will probably bm and do some funny shit

I rather they do the top 5 for each role, making it so more players can be honored without having to compare two players who do different things

I agree, #GreenWall ftw

mb didn't know this

Guild: Russ
He has played quite poorly in Stage 2 so far. He has not offered a lot in terms of kills and had one of the worst first bloods to first death ratios in the entire EMEA tournament. They say you are only as strong as your linkest link, and if that's the case then Russ must show some life on LAN, else Guild may be packing their bags early

Fnatic: Alfajer
This dude is crazy. Never would I have thought that anyone not named Derke could be considered Fnatic's best player. All he needs to do is play as he has so far and Fnatic might have this in the bag

FPX: Zyppan
"Zyppan Go Kill" may be a distant memory by now, but it's still a reasonably apt way to describe this team. When Zyppan kills, FPX wins. When he doesn't, they lose

DRX: Rb
It feels like everyone is pretty consistent on DRX except for this dude. He either puts on a masterclass or shits the bed. If he can just be a little more consistent then this could be the tourney DRX finally break through

Nth: xnfri
This dude is mechanically gifted and super flexible, with it not being uncommon to see him play three agents in a BO3. He's probably the best player on Nth beside from Meteor

LOUD: Everyone
Everyone on this fucking team is a demon and its not fair

PRX: Everyone
See above

Xerxia: sScary
Best controller APAC nuff said

LEV: kiNgg
Was tempted to put Shyy but decided kiNgg instead cause he's an entry machine, and when he is able to consistently punish aggressive defenders and make space for his team on characters like neon, LEV feeds off his energy and runs over anyone in their path (like what happened today)

XSET: zekken
It used to be that he was either an absolute monster or a nonfactor in XSET games. He has gotten a lot more consistent though, maybe due to the fact they're putting him more on duelist which looks more natural for him. He can make XSET the dark horse to win it all

Optic: Victor
He is still in my heart the best flex in the world, and he will once again shit on the other kids on LAN

idc ab KRU/NIP tbh

hot take: optic wins again

this except split above where breeze is
