honestly, considering this might be after big roster changes, maybe not

my first ever valorant feature ever was about Acend before Champs 2021

looks like the balance finally was tipped back into neutrality

a bit too long and we don't like using 'and' in titles, but appreciate the effort

made a splash

TYLOO slowly scales to regional title?

JDG have done it, but now we ask: TYLOO or BLG?

Four teams remain, but two Champs slots are already secure in EDG and XLG. Who are the other two teams going to Shanghai?

A quick recap before games start tomorrow: what do you guys think? Do any of these teams have a chance to qual for Champs?

A triple feature from yours truly, here's some insight into Enterprise, M80, and ONSIDE GAMING during and ahead of their play-in matches!

vo0kashu + demon1?

ah gotcha, I can understand that

argument against that is that if it is a bo1, the tier two teams are just screwed lol

Nova and TYLOO went straight to the playoffs. They only need one good tournament run to skip worrying about points and qualifying for Shanghai. Which one can do it, and is there any chance BOTH do?

TYLOO might be the truth, but now the question is: Is Nova finally good enough to contend with other top Chinese teams?

TYLOO with SiuFatBB will have their first true test against EDG. Can they win?

ayo

I was on it today

ty, fixed

I interviewed Desmo (assistant coach of LEV at the time) about Sato and okeanos and he said they were the future. One of two ain't bad.

Hey all, weivy here, and I'll be live at Masters London for the lower and grand finals days. I'll be around, and I'll try and make some sort of sign (probably a literal one) to point myself out at the event. Feel free to say hi if you see me and recognize me there!

For sportsball fans, I'll probably be the only guy there wearing an Ottawa Senators hat.

eh I'll take it

now I sound like a mafioso

ok censored is a bit harsh lol

you didnt see anything

players like him age well over time, plus he's a genuinely likeable guy and has always shown mechanical skill

yooooo, much appreciated, any chance of you going to the final weekend of Masters London? Would love to meet up.

Talked to FrosT about his journey and this big step Global took in Stage 1. Big thanks to him for putting time aside for this talk!

Is this new version of LEV going to still do well at London after Neon nerfs? Thankfully they don't apply to Neon (the player).

Apologies for the delay!

The three Chinese teams for London are set: EDG, XLG, and DRG. Are EDG truly back?

i am an objective writer who has no flair for a reason

Hey, your team got a championship in the past year, be happy with that

I wrote the damn thing so I should be first

who you guys got: DRG or AG?

A quick upper semis, with a 13-0 splashed in. Are EDG back? And even if so, are XLG better?

DRG has a chance to be the lower bracket demons, what do you guys think?

Are XLG favourites to win it all?

I don't, cause stars are for upvotes, which are for comments, not posts

Took a little longer due to the week off, as the region returns on May 1st. Who do you think will make it to London?

A bit late on the recap, but here is how week one went for Americas!

Americas just started, but China's Stage 1 is nearly over!

Guess who's baaaaack? Doing China weekly recaps in the group stage, expect these every Monday. Make sure to tune in because China Stage 1 is going by fast.

mimikyu and scyther

what about us writers

For the first point, I personally think that highlighting minor mistakes if they change a map (or are just funny like eeiu falling off Abyss to end the series) is okay, but I don't like just adding a sentence to say someone is playing poorly when I could highlight someone playing well instead. As for the f0rsakeN Waylay, I just think highlighting the comp for a team that avoided Abyss was enough, as well as the fact that we all know f0rsakeN is one of the most flexible players alive and made his name playing Yoru. Thanks for the kind words though!

I usually agree, but considering the champs are sponsored by a popular instant noodle company? Had to.

Elevated, do you agree that the map pools for all teams are the weakest we've ever seen them? Feel like map bans and choices matter more than ever

Integrity matters a lot to them, even if this really potentially hurts the guys playing tomorrow over Tuesday

dude I wouldn't post this if it wasn't, I get paid here lol

Hey guys, updated the end of the T1/TL piece with the new news. We will post a new article with the updated games.
