What on earth is gonna happen to TGRD :(

Dude’s been so clutch for GE. I’m rooting for him but sadly lev dominated them if they win :(

(Lev also dominates vit if they win lol)

Still looking for recs

No actually tho. He seems super nice as a person but his fans here (and all the baiters pretending to be his fans) ruin many ppl’s image of him.

Plus ge has Ayrin, my god, so I hope they pull through.

Dio what flair should I wear

Fuck that organization. I love the players and I’ll continue supporting them wherever they end up, but FUCK YOU KROENKE YOU ABSOLUTE PIECE OF SHIT BILLIONAIRE.

This shit is beyond fucked. My heart goes out to all the staff who need to find a new home.

On another note I’m looking for a new flair to rep, what do you guys think it should be?

I love the players but I can’t support an org that does shit like this?!??

BRUH WHAT NO FUCKINT WAY IM A GUARD FAN AFTER THIS

W, I love Redgar and Nats but father jessievash and fragger Invy too goood

Don’t knock TGRD they’d be a quarterfinal/semifinal level team at this event.

NO WAY MATRIX LEAVING EU???

They’re the greatest boomers on earth. I love them

Guys I might become a total TS fan from now on

HOLY WWWWWWWW

I LOVE THIS BOOMER

I’m so happy for TS

No fr tho this is ridiculous

I respect

ultra rare gamr w

Sry for your heretic's copium :(

Nice job tho!

Dude :(((

This dude single handedly managed to get VLR to hate C9 😂😂

I agree with pancada

Like why not Enzo? Let scream frag

Could win tournaments: Loud/NRG/100T/LEV (last two more uncertain)
Can make it deep: C9/SEN
Decent: EG
Probably not great: Furia/Kru
Punching bag: MIBR

Honestly still looking pretty good. I didn’t anticipate talon being awesome and I hoped FPX would be a bit better, but I got the rest right!

TRUE, that was also surprising esp since the first few times we saw him he looked garbage

Here’s the thing. Pati is very likely a better player than garnets. In fact I’m almost sure of it. That doesn’t mean talon with pati is definitely a better team than with garnets. At this point we’ll see which direction they go, but I think keeping garnets might not be the worst idea.

100T will be good but I’m honestly hoping fnatic live up to their potential for once. I’d be so fine with a Loud/DRX vs FNC final

Fr, VAMOS LOUD

I wouldn’t take rounds as a great indicator. Valorant is very wishy washy and sometimes teams that are very closely matched can blow each other out on diff maps, and other times a much worse team can win pistols randomly and make it a 13-10 scoreline or something.

Awesome tournament. I’m so happy to have many more pleasant surprises than disappointments, and to see such hype matches!

Hard agree!

DRX then Talon/Geng then PRX imo unless PRX makes some changes

Talon over geng imo! Geng do look great tho

I thought they would be mediocre at best this tournament, VERY proud to be proven wrong

Weren’t you bullied back onto the c9 flair after trying to jump ship 😂😂😂

I love DRX but that consistency wasn’t super surprising yk? They changed their roster the least out of the top teams from last year, so I expected them to do well. Really great performances from them so far though!

1. Talon are fucking awesome. GarnetS and crws in
   particular have been such treats to watch.

2. S0m went nuts on his international debut. Super cool.

3. Loud haven’t dropped a beat and their new players are sickkkk. This one is less surprising but still great to see.

All in all, it’s an AMAZING tournament!!

I wish I could block you on mobile as well 😘

Best take you’ve ever had :)

I totally agree. Despite whoever you think is 'better', I hope we can all agree they're both great players and great for Tier 1 valorant.

See they do, but at the same time, I think those moments wouldn't have been remembered nearly as much if other people were casting them. Like consider the kinggg sachel: it was an INSANE play, and the casting from bren and sideshow was SO good in that moment, and that combo is what made it stick in my memory the most. If doug and balla casted it, it would've still been a great moment, but I don't think I would've thought of it so highly.

FNS is undoubtedly the greatest midrounder in valorant history. I even struggle to think of players in other esports who come close to his midrounding (partly through ignorance I'll admit). His mechanical abilities are not top tier as we all know, but I think his calling ability easily makes up for that.

Saadhak is a more 'complete' player, but I don't think that makes him a better IGL.

Bren and Sideshow really are just the fucking greatest. The overwatch league should be ashamed to cut them like they did, but I'm happy we have them in valorant now. If only Uber could come by as well....

Does anyone think he’s not too 5?

Check every highlight vid released in the next 2-3 hours near the end of the match

Yeah agreed, but at the same time their last performance against Giants (who were playing WAY better than I anticipated) was fucking unbelievable, especially on Haven. FNS' calling is still at its peak, and now Chett has some vod material on Loud...

VAMOSSSS

I got Loud ngl but it's such a toss up. NRG has been way better than I anticipated, especially crashies and s0m as players.

GIGABANGER

Heyheyhey lets not be hasty I still think two EMEA teams might very well make it through in the omega bracket. And who knows who wins then?! Either way it's so good to see great teams play after so long!
