nothing but conjecture. the fact you say it so confidently proves my point lol.

To act like there's a massive skill gap between EMEA and NA tells me your observations are way off.

you can't be serious. Leaf DIFFED the fuck out of Liquid during their match in champions.

And I am a liquid fan, but don't be delusional pls

Yeah I see that too, i really feel like Teams should be able to have multiple good game plans with the time they have to prep.

I see your opinion, but I wouldn't say it's false hope. it's not so weird for ex winners to talk optimistically even if they don't have the results to show. it's a small part of what's needed for a winning mentality.

Lmao , that's hilarious

Are Germany a fluke for winning the world cup in 2014 but then getting grouped in 2018?

Valorant changes dramatically every major patch. You can't expect the same team to dominate through different meta's. Even when a team is on top, it's by fine margins. A change in the way the game is played resets everything.
Get over it.

Assist

Format is good. Length is good too. But teams ideally should use the time between matches to test more stuff out (maybe not as crazy as liquid tho) because I see slot of hard counters in matches lately because the other team knew exactly what the enemy was doing.

Damn 0-7 in FK/FD on Haven :X

Unlucky Acend

👍

onlyfax speaking fax only

what a mess that was lol

we lucked out. L1NK went apeshit last few rounds.

we only won because BIG were stubborn about facing the judge in hookah. Then everyone's aim just came alive in OT.

Bin this comp, not repeatable

and it's so painfully obvious bro.

Also Scream on KayO is just handicapped. he doesn't have a single kill on defense side.

awful comp.

Have they not learned from watching NA that chamber is crap on bind.

They've tried no duelist and this shit. and they just look way worse than their champions form.

facepalm game

Liquid are back in T2

source?

Chronicle Derke Cned Scream Nukkye

Top 5 not in order

Big mintvalo W .

Thanks!

bruhhhh

daaaaaamn nivera

Haha, I think you're right dude!

History has been made

Unlucky bro, better luck for stage 2

Damn, my Turkish brothers. What happened?

I disagree.

Brave > Brave.

braveaf check him pc

new patch for EMEA will be live during play offs. But for NA it will be live now.

I understand, cheers for the info bro.

Chinese org. figures

Does anyone know what the VISA situation is for Russians atm? Even if Gambit players by some miracle were picked up by another org, or the org re estabalished toa new location. Can the players even get visas to travel to LAN?

temperature and cold hands is a totally different thing to consider compared to tables and chairs. It's a way more valid reason tbh

thanks for the info

understood

What happened? As in specifically, not the overarching situation with the war etc

Lol. That's like making it to Masters 1 and being like "wE'rE nOt uSeD tO tHe TaBlESs!". Nonsense. As long as the tables are good, that's not a valid excuse.

You're massively overstating the importance of it. Yeah it's important, but it's far from a be all and end all.

Pros in all fps titles are competing to play at LAN events where the only gear they're used to is their kB and mouse.

A player who can't perform because they don't have the chair and desk they're used to is not a good player.

Preach

In theory. But I don't see any top teams making it work yet.

Optic have tried it and you can't really say it's been successful. V1 and the guard are playing around their cracked out Jett players are running over everyone.

100t tried it on ascent and we all know how that went.

Liquid tried it Vs gambit and they got washed. The list goes on.

Not saying the results would have definitely been different, but I don't think the idea is all that

They're doomed with that ascent comp. Need jampii on jett

Doesn't work like that

Optic are hot n cold and v1 are insane right now.

burn it all

what are you smoking

Damn, EG getting clapped in this league, but I like then you know

need giants there. Heretics are far away from even being in the conversation.

Also if we're talking T2, some of the teams from EMEA group stage should still be in that list like LDN UTD, BBL,

Errr..

They make fuck all money from Valorant
