ya, but it would be taking a chance. Not sure if they really are better. I would think valyn could def in time tho.

prob. stellar has talked about how he prefers to not do set strats and call more freely which is what they have been doing since sgares left the team and it hasn't looked great.

based. Only problem is shortage of good/top igls to replace stellar with.

i dont think its coaching, maybe stellars calling. Also players just don't look like they are in top form like they were last year.

he still does stuff like this all the time, and the omen kill was a no scope while stunned.

full blind buddy

dude is a goat but I swear ive never seen anyone hit more blind/lucky shots than him.

they had their assistant coach jamerzirl listed for 6th

truth

thanks bro

all they do is save

who are the best brazilian igls?

barely even mechanically. Bro goes double negative on raze all the time

zander for smokes?

he requested trade since he wanted to go back to korean team. c9 would have kept him if they could have.

wa wa wa

gotta be bait

Do you also think it could be that a lot of the fans that showed up don't actually have a passion for Valorant as a game but rather are there just to support their fellow Brazilians? It would make sense for why they didn't stay to congratulate the winner because they don't really have passion or respect for the game but only came to support their country.

The emotion from the crowd in Brazil only happens when a Brazilian team is playing. Imagine if there was not one in this finals, the stadium would have been practically empty. The NA crowd might not be as emotional but it will likely be packed for every game, whether there is a home team playing or not.

he played well on omen throughout the tournament

I would argue that their three young players (cryo, asuna, bang) are the three that have been most proven and performing the best.

I would agree. I think that really any team could win this tourney with the single elim and new meta (same thing practically every coach/player has been saying). But with that being said you can still have favorites which 100T should definitely be one of with their recent performances, whether at big tourneys or not, they have still looked good fundamentally as a team. Along with them keeping the majority of their team together they are sure to have a advantage going into this kick off tourney.

They beat fanatic first time and threw against drx on breeze. Also it is harder to play fanatic again a 2nd time after already showing their strats on some of the same maps from the first match. Plus Red Bull tourney may not have been super important but they looked really good as a team which is promising.

I think that bang, cryo, and asuna will be on point. It just depends if stellar and Derek can perform well enough. If they can play well 100T def a favorite to win

Do you know of anybody streaming?

Does anyone know if there will be any streams of the qualifiers before the round of 32?
